I hate people who hack games…
I hate people who get hacked by their games in an attempt to beat them legitimately
Tell me about it. I used to play COD, and there was always some a-hole there to hack the game and jack it up for the rest of us.
Sometimes, its just the game, too. Me and my friends tried thermal quickscoping on splitscreen(SS=no lag) The whole scope was white, but we kept missing :@
My husband always insisted that it was because “they programmed the game so you would lose”. He could never answer my question asking what “they” would possibly hope to gain from that.
It’s an easy way for them to make games seem harder.
This works well with games that have different difficulty settings. It can create the illusion of harder gameplay, but is much less work to program.
If they make the game harder, it creates the illusion of you having to work harder for more rewards, turning a potentially 5 hour game into a 50 hour marathon. It’s a way of keeping the player’s attention – an easy game is a boring one, and a hard one, however cheating, will ultimately gain the player more satisfaction in the end.
*shrugs* as the player who likes to complete all the extra sidequests and the extra bosses who seem to have more cheats than necessary, I fall into that trap all the time.
Also, “It didn’t do my move!”
You forgot “there’s something wrong with the stupid button/joystick!”
Same here – “that stupid button stopped working!!!” *checks it afterward* “What? It works just fine…” *presses the side of the button on purpose, so that it doesn’t work* “I knew there was something wrong with this controller!”
the controller broke!!
And don’t forget “My damn character didn’t jump!?!?!?!!!!!”
Hahahah more like “My character REFUSES TO JUMP ARGHHHHHHH”
“I pressed the button, dangit!” *throws controller in disgust*
Though for RTS games this graph is actually 98% accurate. doggone cheating AI!!!
Not to mention old-school FPS like CS where the bots didn’t have aiming AI; they just waited a certain amount of time after they see you to auto-aim on your head.
Lagger…
/agree lag ftl
You Mean Lauger!! What What!!!
don’t you just hate it when you’re sniping and at the EXACT same nanosecond you press the fire button you get dominated?
I find it worse when you get dominated a moment AFTER pulling the trigger. And your target doesn’t get hit. >:[
Man, this is so true! I can’t remember how many times those NES games cheated!
Don’t even get me started with SEGA. How many times in NBA Jam during the LAST SECOND can the computer consistently make the winning 3-pointer!? I mean, come on!!!
There’s no way you could’ve known this! YOU’RE GRAPH HACKING!
I bloody knew it! All those times where I got the really hard questions on Trivial Pursuit, or those DVD games where I had to go back 3 spaces about 5 times in a row or something – I thought I was horrible at luck-based games because I have no luck, but this explains it all! Every time a game cheats against us like this, it’s yet another reason why Game Genie was invented!
Also, have you noticed that in certain games when you play against a number of bots, they seem to team up against every human player?
I know! My brother played monopoly on my iPhone once. He had almost every property as hotels, except the orange, which the computer had. The computer somehow went 10 rounds without landing on his spaces, but my brother kept landing on the PC’s three orange spaces.
Also, ever experienced 15 grenades being thrown at you at the same
time? I have. In FPS games, platformers, you name it!
The Computer is a Cheating Bastard.
You left out the mantra of every Kingdom of Loathing and Puzzle Quest player in the world: “The RNG [Random Number Generator] hates me”.
But it did!!11!!11!!111!
I know, I can’t tell you how many times I lost a life or something and beat it by doing the exact same thing.
I pressed the button at the exact right time! Why didn’t it work???!!!
I recommend you read the article on TV Tropes
It’s true though in some games. In Civilization IV, the deity level (the hardest level of the game) features an AI which apparently can poop out 5 settlers in the time it takes you to generate one population – in this case, you can pretty much say that Sid Meier is only trying to screw you over badly.
…and here I’ve been trying to win a win… are you saying I’m better off as a space-traveling settler?
Noble’s apparently the fairest of them – I’ve only been able to win on Warlord. But either way, it’s such a fun game, isn’t it?
Really gets to the soul of souls that knows it wants to conquer everything 
Where is lag on this thing? thats like #1 on COD MW2
I’d imagine the green and blue sections replacing the red one, at least in the realm of multiplayer games.
Piss off, spammer.
The RNG just hates us all.
games just hate us all.
In Soviet Russia, you hate games.
This graph reeks of projection.
Once I tried command and conquer red alert (i think 1). I created a custom map full of ressources, set the computer to hardest and started the game.
While I was building my first power house (first building you can build) I was ran over by a huge army…
Or take warcraft3: Hardest computer gets 10 gold while removing 1 gold from his gold mine. It’s like unlimited resources.
In other words, you’re screwed.
Isn’t there a mod to block out the bugger?
Anyone who ever played RISK on the Amiga 500 KNOWS the computer cheated!
I saw it in a past life. I am NOT 40.
ha! nobody said … i forgot to save the dammed game… now i have to go through the last 2 hours… AGAIN!?!? hell no. (yanking power cord)
What is a survey owh its not true
what the hell!!!??? HOW DID I LOSE??? THIS GAME IS CHEATING!
*tries again
AAAAGGGGGGHHHH! STOP CHEATING!
*talks to console threatining to kill the disk unless it stops cheating.
*tries again
AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!! THATS IT!
*throws controller really hard on the floor
* mum comes up wondering what the big bang was!
And thats the story of me playing N+
My son = THIS!
What about. “Wasn’t trying”, I hate that excuse so much
Another appears with me: brother went and put in on the hardest possible difficulty while you still think it is on normal.
or lag… xD
the computer DOES cheat sometimes though!!!
