What's The Most Saltiest Thing That Has Ever Happened To You In A Video Game?

I played Overwatch, competitive mode... 8 out of 10 placement matches (obligatory games you have to play before you recieve a ranking) were filled with TROLLS AND QUITTERS, and people who really gave me the impression they were barely trying. I am not that good at Overwatch, but ods damn it all, I tried!

the only 2 times I won a match were because I got matched with a REAL team, we communicated, not just played 5 reaper or 4 mei for the bloody lolz

 

I mean, the biggest sodium chloryde factory I know of is multiplayer with strangers... especially competitive multiplayer...

 

yeah I only did it because I wanted to... idk, I started so I thought I could finish it without much trouble. Normal pvp is far far better and trolls are actually good trolls lol, not just lame attempts that die before they even set up a bad joke.

Now... coop vs ai, those are real teams, shame its only agaisnt AI (they can be good -sometimes- but mostly very lemming esque)

 

Saltiest thing? I had a Minecraft world I was working with mods on for over half a year. With a pipe system and quarry systems that sorted items into a computer, spat them out and compressed the blocks. The world corrupted one day for NO reason, zip, nada. Just decided it was going to be dead.

My power supply that I later had to double.


A description of how my device worked at first and what it did.


This wasn't even close to my final version of the project. Rest in peace...

My Little Cobble, I used to wonder how complicated it could be.
Until I realized pipes and auto-crafters are the key.
Big compression!
Tons of Pipes!
A beautiful logical circuit.
Guiding and true.
Share the cobble.
It's an easy feat, and compression makes it all complete!

Did you know? They are my very best friends.

R.I.P.

 

Trying to fight Nightmare in Metroid Fusion... On a Wii U gamepad. I've never been saltier.
Even with save states it took me well over 30 tries to beat it. The next few bosses were total pushovers, though.

 

I dunno about the Wii U gamepad, but I never really thought that guy was all that hard to kill, lol. Musta been the gamepad.

 

Yeah, it was the gamepad. The d-pad is far from as good as the one on a GBA, and a lot of slip-ups made me salty, especially when said slip-ups cost me half of my health.

 

Defeating a squad of Legion Assassins in New Vegas, and before I can cheer I'm backstabbed by a Cazador.

Getting a host migration after 40 minutes in Survival on Warframe, game says it cannot reconnect and the mission is considered failed.

Building the Demolitionist a cool explosive-themed house in Terraria and accidently wiring your teleporter over it.

I've had more than that but that's just off the top of my head.

 

I was playing Halo and accidently betrayed my teammates. 3 Times. I got kicked from the match .

When I got my Wii U for Christmas I got Sonic Lost World with it.
The game got so incredibly hard I bit my Gamepad screen, and the touch sensor broke.
So we had to send it to Target to fix it, which took almost a month.
And I literally had the Lego Movie video game for the Wii U right there and I was just waiting to play it.
I eventually got it back and played it, and I haven't played Sonic Lost Potential since.
I have beaten the story mode in it though.

I don't like modern Mario Kart online multiplayer because everyone already has a godly kart made of solarium stars, and I pretty much always lose.
One time, though, I was playing Mario Kart 8 in I think Sweet Sweet Canyon or whatever that track is called, and I was in first for most of the race.
My hands were practically liquefying, I was so tense.
Then Blue Shell happened, and the rest is history.
Except for the part where I broke a charger wire we bought for my school iPad out of rage.
(I still play the game, just not multiplayer, obviously)

 

Rimworld, town one:
Early game: great start! Everything is great!
Mid game: best colonist/doctor dies in critical failure operation for denture.
Second best colonist is then struck by lightning and dies.
Third colonist suffers asthma attack and suffocates...
"End" game: blight strikes, winter comes, one dies of malnourishment, alpha beavers incapacitate remaining colonists, trained timberwolf doesn't do shit...
Everyone bleeds out in the snow and dies...
The end...

 

Furi. The Sniper boss.

The difficulty curve is all over the place on this one: The game is filled with salt-infusing boss battles, but this one took the cake for a reason. The battle is actually quite manageable. Compared to previous pattern recognition-heavy battles, this one demands reflex and skill rather than navigating through bullet hells after bullet hells. Right up until her last lifebar, that is.

She throws you a curveball in the form of the hardest bullet hell you've seen yet. RIGHT AT HER LAST LIFE BAR. The fight goes so good right up until that moment. You just needed to find out the gimmick behind her moves. And then the game suddenly expects you to navigate through a goddamn bulletstorm coming from everywhere, WHILE SHE SNIPES YOU. You not only need to dodge everything like it's Dragon Ball Z, you need to find cover from her sniper rifle in the midst of the crossfire. If she hits you with that, you can say adios to an entire lifebar. It's so bloody hard it doesn't matter if you got to that point with three full lifebars. You will lose all of them during that one sequence alone. And in Furi, if you lose an entire lifebar, the fight sequence restarts. So it expects you to succeed without taking much damage. But if you lose all three? Back to the beginning of the fight with you.

haaah, getting some 80's and 90's vibes from this...

 

Never heard of this before, seems nice.

Blue smelter demon in DkS2 is extreme BS

 

I forgot to buy salt I needed for a recipe in Harvest Moon.

 

Bastion and Mei.
Enough said.

 

My worst experience happened with Battlezone 1998. A man hijacked the game and provided it for free with only his server available... which is completely illegal. He barred players from playing on other servers, only allowed his. He also banned any players from croatia from playing on his server, in effort to bar them from the game's community because of saltiness from the balkan wars and problems with him and other members within the game's community. It even got violent when someone was injured by a bomb placed in their mailbox.

This man yelled and threatened me, treated me like an idiot before he banned me for providing players access to other servers to play on through a mod I was making. Before this experience I never imagined a game's community could be so messed up. Lots of baggage.

 

Rimworld, again...
We opened up a forbidden wall mid game. It was filled with many super strong robots (two scythers and three centipedes) we lost our doctor, and while rescuing another colonist near a centipede, our grenade thrower accidentally blew them up. We eventually were killed off down to only four, the three original colonists from the beginning, and our janitor. Everyone was severely wounded. Very soon afterwards, a raid occured... We fended them off, but we were all wounded again. Finally, a pack of warg attacked. Also fended them off, but Mipsy soon died from infection. He was one of our original colonists and our only remaining doctor, as well as the husband to Craig, our scientist and socialist...
Everything is going wrong... We are expecting another attack soon, and we don't have the means to feasibly defend ourselves from the coming tribal swarm... This is it... We are dead...

 

I guess I should mention that I'm one of those people who bought into the No Man's Sky hype...
I had fun with it. For the first couple of hours it was pretty exciting. But it goes nowhere from those first few hours. I can put up with busywork if it goes towards a bigger outcome.

And then I got spoiled on the "endings". I got ME3'd again... I swore off the game after that. You know what they say: "Fool me twice..."

 

You could have used your own ensuing salt huehuehue

In the days of yore when i still played Skyrim i got disarmed by a high level draugr and lost my enchanted daedric greatsword...
