10 Annoying Video Game Moments That Made You Turn The Console Off

9. Battling Fontaine In Bioshock

The original Bioshock isn't remembered for its first-person shooting, so it's no surprise that the game's final boss fight - which revolves around simply hitting Fontaine with as much firepower as you can get your hands on - has largely been forgotten.

In fact, it probably would have been forgotten completely if not for how horribly frustrating it proved to be for most players.

Not only does the level bank on you having plenty of upgraded weapons and ammo going into the fight (and only reduces your ability to acquire these resources as you continue to lose money from dying), but Fontaine himself is much faster and more aggressive than anything you've encounter beforehand.

Bioshock was so good at playing with expectations and delivering a subversive plot - so it's such a shame that it had to end on such a sour, trite note.
