10 Annoying Video Game Moments That Made You Turn The Console Off
1. Getting Flattened By Ornstein & Smough In Dark Souls
Look, no matter how much of a Dark Souls pro you might claim to be, there's no way that the fight against Ornstein and Smough in the original game didn't completely break your spirit.
Dark Souls is at its worst when it forces you to face off against multiple enemies at a time, often leading to cheap deaths that feel particularly frustrating because of the game's otherwise tough-but-fair approach to difficulty. But these moments are annoying enough when it's just regular enemies you're fighting - never mind two bosses who would be challenging on their own.
Because it's such an intense game of trial-and-error a good chunk of players probably only completed this section through sheer luck and perseverance, unable to actually replicate another successful victory if their life depended on it.
All of the bosses in Dark Souls are difficult, but battling Ornstein and Smough is like throwing yourself at a brick wall made of death and misery until your mangled body somehow slips through the cracks and onto the other side.
