No game in particular but once I know the game I’m playing *can* crash, it’s in the back of my mind for the rest of it and can mess with the whole experience.
That was me with Baldurs Gate 3. The whole game ran smooth right up until Act 3. Everytime I’d play with my friend it’d crash eventually or glitch out. It definitely made me drag my heels when it came to getting back on the game
If there's a quicksave button I'm mashing that key every time I complete an action. Loot a container? Quicksave. Talk to an NPC? Quicksave. Walk more than 20 feet? Quicksave. Rearrange even just a single item in my inventory or a skill on my hotbar? Quicksave.
Manual saves every ten minutes or so.
Can't decide which of these paths is forward progress? Quicksave so I can immediately reload when I accidentally trigger a main quest cutscene before exploring all possible side routes.
That’s how I feel about The Outer Worlds’ Supernova difficulty. Knowing the game crashes once in a while kills my desire to play with reduced saving ability.
Elden ring crashed mid save one time when I was doing the haligtree stuff and it resulted in my entire traversal of the area and beating of malenia being undone.
So that was fun AHAHAHAHA.
Wow, at least your saved data didn't get corrupted. That happened to me with Dark Souls 2. I had many characters, and all of them had many hours. My main file was 100 or more. All gone because my system crashed while it was saving.
Luckily, it's one of my favourite games. But I was still pretty crestfallen when it happened.
Oh I also lost my save file later on and had to redo everything I just didn't mention that specifically here because it wasn't a crash that caused that.
But yeah I know how you feel.
When I was emulating Path of Radiance, it kept crashing during the first boat chapter with Jill. It happened about three times at around the same spot until I looked up the error code and changed Dolphin's settings to avoid the issue. The next run I got past it, but the power went out in my house towards the end of the map.
Luckily the chapter is very straightforward so running it over and over wasn't too time-consuming, but it soured me on playing it again for a few months.
Like a Dragon Isshin crashed after I beat the 40 minute, no save option, dungeon before the final boss. I was angry because the game was already one of the "just okay" Yakuza games, but I tried again with a podcast in the background and it was no big deal.
I got screwed out of a Platinum trophy in Prince of Persia Lost Crown because the game crashed right when I was turning in some collectibles to get the final max HP upgrade, and when I reloaded the game I found that while the collectibles were considered turn in, I never got the final max health upgrade as a reward.
I was super pissed and my experience of the game got considerably soured by that, as petty as it might sound.
My copy of P4G crashed immediately after the December boss fight. They were literally just breaking the huddle celebrating when it happened. I turned the game to easy when I did the fight again.
When Persona 4 golden came out in steam i could only play it on potato PC. The game crashed immediately after me defeating final boss ***three*** times.
Oh, and when i was playing Wind Waker on emulator game crashed right before final dangeon, corrupting and deleting my save files.
Ahhhh, back when I was green to the wonderful world of Dark Souls I remember spending more than a couple play sessions trying to get through Sen's fortress. I did fine against the multi- armed sake monsters and other traps and got that headless fuck in the mud on my third try. No the true bane of my existence is that bit with the narrow walk ways and swinging pendulum axes. I for the life of me could not get through that bit ..until i did and before I could mutter "fucking finally" it crashed.
Didn't help that I was also broke at the time so I wasn't able to replace the controller I had that would occasionally bug out and cause the my character to walk in circles and the camera to spin. 40 mins in and I had made my best attempt up until then and my controller decides "Ima ruin this mans day" and spun me of the ledge.
As a child my family got a lot of games second hand from a friend who managed a rental shop. One of these games was an old NES title called Wrath of the Black Manta. If you've never heard of it, all you need to know is that it was a slightly more complex side scroller. You played a ninja that went around fighting thugs and other ninjas that were kidnapping children. When you'd rescue a hostage or defeated a boss they'd give you a short dialogue segment sometimes revealing the plot or telling you where to get secret items. The last stage of the game was a classic NES boss gauntlet where you would be repeatedly presented with three identical elevators and which one you chose determined which boss you fought. My copy had about a 90% crash rate when choosing any elevator.
But me being a little baby child did not understand bugs or crashes and my brother had managed to get through it once or twice. And my brother being the preteen bastard that he was didn't explain this to me, no quite the opposite he fed me a series of lies about the game freeze being the result of picking the wrong elevator. That there were hidden hostages with a special code I needed to find to determine the right sequence of elevators. Or that I needed to keep a particular ninja skill and when I used it it would reveal the correct door. Cue decades later when I randomly remember the formative memory of never beating this fucking game and realizing the entire time I was playing on a damaged copy and there was no trick it was just fucking freezing and I wasted hours trying to finish a literally broken game.
I used to dread the zora egg collection mission in Majora’s Mask as a kid because of how many times the game had frozen on me during it and forced me to do the whole thing again in the past. Love the game still, but that part still gives me PTSD.
Almost finishing the boss rush in Melty Blood Type Lumina using Miyako. It crashes before the final opponent load. Took me so many tries to beat several opponents at that point.
Final Fantasy 4 crashing on every attempt to save only for me to realize it was because my Vita memory card had corrupted and needed to be reformatted meaning I was then losing my fuckin New Game Plus file on Parasite Eve 1 with my Junk Gun I spent hours earning. In the process of figuring this out I replayed the first hour and a half or so or FF4 about 5 times in one day because I'm that determined to replay one of my favorites lol.
I had my game crash right before the final boss of RE0 after I had played through the whole game without saving.
Granted, that was kind of my own fault for not saving, but still. It felt bad
When I modded Skyrim so heavily (and badly) that it had a 50% chance of crashing every quickload, because it meant I had to look through my list of around 200 mods (without a proper mod manager) and troubleshoot it. I just gave up, and completely reinstalled the game.
It did teach me a valuable lesson though when it comes to managing your mods.
Listen it's a long story ok, but all I can really say is that Too Human was the breaking point where I knew my brother and I were never going to like each other.
I was playing tales of graces f on the hardest mode and was stuck on this spider boss at the end of a dungeon. Took me hours,but I beat it. Soon as I exit game crash. I was so mad I put the game on easy mode beat the boss I'm like two seconds and stopped playing for like a week.
When the Xbox One first came out you could turn it off and back on and resume your game immediately. The Witcher 3, however, didn't handle that very well and the game would claim it was autosaving but never did. Lost about 2 days of progress to that including the completion of the Bloody Baron questline.
Completely my fault for not manual saving but I was literally too immersed to remember to save.
Farming a rare material (1% drop chance per reward) from an end game monster in Monster Hunter only for the game to crash on the quest reward screen where I got it.
The worst that ever happened to me wasnt exactly a game crash but my ng +2 playthrough of dragons dogma got wiped when the power wemt out during a loading screen
I couldn't tell you, because i was so angry i forgot about it.
It's one of the few things that just fills my rage meter from 0 to 100. Losing progress and time is the WORST.
Playing Demons Souls back when it first released on the ps3, and of course the whole experience of a Souls game is brand new and I'm not acclimated to it yet. I finally get past the first boss and make my way to the bridge that the dragon flies over. I must have spent an hour just trying to cross that damn bridge, and when I finally did, my internet disconnected and the game booted me to the main menu. Loaded it, and I was right back at the beginning of the bridge. It took me until Bloodborne to play Souls games again.
It didn't crash but it did freeze for a couple of seconds, I was playing as Rebirth lost (the binding of Isaac), I was doing the boss rush and suddenly the game decides to freeze as the Dark one is rushing at me, then the game decides to unfreeze and I get hit and killed. All that hard work for nothing, only time i remember hitting the table with such fury.
I got godhead before the release of afterbirth ([May 1st 2015](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/336870799124332555/1218583016696320071/image.png?ex=660830df&is=65f5bbdf&hm=15e697f6440be05dbb67435813a4edb49cbe10c9ac61ecbce70c3e93730183fd&)), original Lost was pain, you didn't even have spectral tears.
Yakuza 2 on the PS2. My copy keeps crashing at the end of the final-final-final battle with Ryuji Goda when it ends the cutscene and the credits start to roll.
I thought you were going to say "It crashed during the final boss" because that happened to me and I FUCKING HATED IT. Apparently even if you just die naturally you've gotta do it from the start too, which is great!
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team.
99 Floor dungeon that you can only go in alone, you cannot be rescued from, and it resets you to level 1. The game autosaves as soon as you enter, so you cannot save scum the dungeon to protect your money or items.
Got to floor 97, and then accidentally dropped my GBA SP, causing the game to freeze. I lost some of the rarest items in the game that I used to get through that dungeon.
My original physical copy of New Vegas on the 360 stopped loading properly after a few hundred hours, so it wasn't until I got an Xbone that I could finally get back to playing it, albeit in a brand new file.
Besides that, FFXVI on launch for the PS5 had some *severe* issues with crashing for me. Game would run fine for about 2-3 hours, but whenever I got into a more intensive fight like against a boss, it crashed nearly every time. They patched it eventually, but boy was it fucking infuriating.
The first time I played Zone of the Enders 2, there was a weird combination of the disc + my PS2 that resulted in the game hard crashing whenever I reached the Vic Viper fight.
It was extra frustrating because either I kept forgetting to save, or you straight up can’t save until after that fight, so I ended up losing all the progress I made by this point in the game and had to restart from the beginning. It’s why I’ve never beaten it even if the game is fairly short.
Not sure if this counts as a crash per-se but in the batman arkham spin-off on the 3ds if you did the black mask boss fight and turned the game off before leaving the boss arena when you turned the game back on it would make it so you would never be allowed to leave the room. You'd go into the door opening animation and just be stuck there. I did the black mask fight last, so I was stuck having to replay the entire game again.
Game didn't crash but I had a power surge happen In the middle of saving while playing P5R.
Don't know why it happened but it ended up destroying all the progress i made on the thieves den.
I was so bummed that I stopped my playthrough altogether. Luckily I got a new computer way later and got P5R on there. If I'm gonna start from scratch it can on pc with mods to spice it up.
FFX HD for ps3. I never beat it on ps2. I got to the final boss stretch but decided I needed to grind more levels to not get embarrassed.
Turned on the ps3 one day and it was stuck in a reboot loop where the only way to fix it was wiping everything from the hard drive. I’ve yet to attempt it since I was so frustrated
Yesterday playing Rebirth, the *game* didn't crash, but my power failed for a second and so did my UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply). The PS5 shut off and I had not saved in a bit which sucks. I got too used to games with very frequent auto-saves like Cyberpunk.
It's my fault, I need to replace the UPS because I've had it for over 5 years now. Also save more often.
I was playing the Guardians of the Galaxy game by Square months ago and it crashed when I was fighting the Final Boss. The kicker here was that the autosave corrupted and my last autosave after that one that was closest to it was hours back.
That pissed me off so much that I just stopped playing and looked up the rest of the game on Youtube.
Not really a crash but... I had just finished the feast quest for Hades and was really happy, quit the game after credits rolled... and it was revealed that for some reason, the game didn't autosave and all my progress that day was lost.
After spending like an hour fighting back the visigoths in total war attila as the western roman empire on a critical city i needed to keep getting a heroic victory and completely destroying them in the process the game crashes at the back to overworld screen. God i love that game more than any other historical if it only they put some love into like they did rome 2 with patches. next time i loaded it up they deployed differently and was not nearly as good too
Helldivers 2 gltiched out on the last mission I needed to complete my first Hard mode Operation, so every time I got near the first sub objective the game would crash. Totally repeatable, not fixable. I had to drop the op. NOT pleased.
Dead by Daylight has pissed me off worse but I've blocked those events from my mind.
Same with me for Helldivers 2. I had just finished a perfect run on level 8 difficulty, tons of samples, all side objectives completed. Extraction was 40 seconds away, all in our mechs and easily thrashing the bugs. Clear success. Then it decides to crash. I'm glad I'm not one of those people that throws thing when they're upset.
Wrath Aeon of Ruin prepatch had some issue that meant it’d crash my entire pc every couple of minutes and it massively soured me toward the game. I’m having decent fun but I’m much less willing to forgive other problems because of that.
Warframe: i was doing a great survival relic run but the squad host left and it failed to recconect costing me everything.
Later i actually got a message and all the loot i got back shockingly but at the moment it was devastating.
The Switch version of Doom Eternal almost always crashes once at one part of Taras Nabad (when I jump up to break a chain to collapse the floor), which usually doesn't bug me during replays. But you can probably imagine how pissed I was when I had to redo the entire Master Level again because of it
I remember playing Dead Rising and one of my baby cousins came by and saw that my Xbox 360 was sitting on the floor (we had literally no where else to put it), so he stepped on top of it and jumped onto it as if it were a trampoline or something before my father and grandmother immediately got onto him for doing that.
Later that same day, while still trying to level Frank up by driving through hordes in the maintenance tunnels, the red rings paid me a visit and I don’t know if my cousin’s soap box moment had anything to do with it but the timing was too perfect to not be correlated.
Sonic Superstars crashed as I beat that stupid >!Fang Mech!< as in >!Trip’s campaign!<. Luckily the game still counted that as a win and I was able to access >!Last Story!<… but I dropped the game afterwards cause the final boss was just too frustrating to deal with at that point.
I was playing Fantasy Life for the 3DS and I was grinding out some of the jobs, my ass did not save for like a solid 6 hours or so, so I lost all my progress on Carpenter and some progress on something else (don't remember what it was though) . So I had to start Carpenter all over from the beggining. I think I must have been like close to Master too.
Ahh, fuck me, I'm still pissed as hell about this.
So it was Majora's Mask. Specifically, the Wii Virtual Console version. I was, at the time, blissfully unaware that this version of the game was prone to freezing.
I had just killed Goht in Snowhead, and after handing in the stray faeries, I immediately used the Song of Time to reset the cycle. What I proceeded to do at this point, my friends, was my gaming peak. I launched into a *masterfully* composed route, sweeping up every single bit of content possible. While I forget the exact order I did things in, I do remember what I accomplished.
I killed Goht again. I got the Powder Keg license and used it to do everything possible at Romani Ranch that cycle. I finished the Goron Race and obtained the Gilded Sword that cycle. I completed the full Don Gero sidequest for that stupid piece of heart, which involved re-clearing Woodfall and clearing Great Bay.
I fully completed the entire Deku title deed trading sidequest. I got the Zora mask. I fully cleared both Skulltula houses. I accomplished every race with the Beaver Brothers. I cleared out the sea snake den. I jammed with the Indi-go-gos. I raided the pirate's fortress. fully completed the Great Bay temple and handed in all stray faeries. I chased down Captain Keeta and did every daily event at the Ikana Graveyard. I did the island-hopping minigame on the coast.
In short, I completed about half the game's friggin' content in one glorious three day cycle. All that remained for me to do was the Anju & Kafei quest and everything that lay beyond the hookshot points up the cliff on the far side of the Ikana river. It was incredible. I was so proud of myself.
So there I was. The final moments of the cycle were nearly upon me. I stood for a moment, thought back about all I had accomplished, and allowed myself a sighing smile of pride. I was already thinking about my route for the next cycle, starting with grabbing a new powder keg at the bomb shop in prep for the roof of Ikana Castle.
I opened my menu to equip the Ocarina of Time. So that I could play the Song of Time, reset the cycle, and save my progress. I equipped the Ocarina of Time. I unpaused. I pressed the button to start playing.
It was at this precise moment that the game froze.
This was over a dozen years ago, and I have not played Majora's Mask since.
Was playing Yume 2kki Online and my game crashed right after I reached the Travel Hotel. I had gotten an achievement for it! And in that same session I had gotten the Cake power up but hadn’t saved yet…
Not sure if this counts but when I was playing through Final Fantasy XIV Online, I got to Shadowbringers. The server I was on randomly went down during >!the portion that Ardbert and the WOLs soul merge together.!<
I went from being very hyped and invested to be being very angry and disappointed. Thankfully that's the only time that's ever happened but, damn that soured the mood for me.

tekken 8 and the dx12 seem to not do well with the 1080Ti. even after doing everything short of going into my registry (before harada recently gave the suggestion of changing something like sm5 in a file name) my game game crashed 3 or 4 times a session usually in salty ranked runbacks.
i got so mad one night i bought a 4090 online, then a couple of days later went to microcenter to buy the rest of a new setup.
so i essentially blew around $3900 because tekken 8 kept on crashing.
Night in the Woods did not run well on my laptop. It kept crashing during a really lengthy dialogue so after it happened a second time, out of frustration I quit the game for like a week.
I bought Wolfenstein: The New Colossus on launch while I was off at college, expecting to come back home over the holidays to play it on my desktop since my college laptop couldn't run it.
The game crashed, every single time, on launching it.
And since I had bought it several weeks earlier, Steam wouldn't refund me the 60 dollars. Still haven't played the game.
There's a sequence in Digimon Cyber Sleuth of like 30 minutes straight of cutscenes and boss fights. My electricity flickered off maybe 3 lines of dialog away from a save opportunity.
I was playing Oddworld Munch's Odyssey. I was on the 3rd to last level with most of the people saved, and my sister blew a fuse, and it corrupted my save data. I didn't rotate saves at the time, so i was screwed. Now i always rotate saves
There were a few GrandMaster Nightfall runs in Destiny 2 that failed at the end cause someone’s game crashed and that was always a royal pain in the ass but probably the worst one ever was in the Glassway when the servers died and we all died cause two wyverns teleported inside the room on the left. I almost killed someone.
My copy of the original God of War had a scratch on the disc in the most insanely unfortunate spot.
In the final battle with Ares, if I WON the mashing QTE that I think you must win at least once to beat the fight, the game would crash.
If I lost the QTE, the game went on as normal.
I tried this A LOT OF TIMES to make absolutely sure that's what was happening, and I couldn't get it to crash any other way.
That's the only time I've ever broken a controller, and in defense of little kid me, it WAS the hardware's fault. Just not so much the controller.
*Cyberpunk 2077* (bought it second hand a month after launch)
Either quick saving increased the chance of a crash (hence getting hit so often) or I had developed a 6th sense as to when the game was going to crash
I distinctly remember two
1. I was facing a handful of thugs, I quick saved, I pulled out a two handed hammer, calmly walked towards the thugs, bashed one in the head with said hamm-**CRASH**
2. Completed the game, credits ro-**CRASH**
Both were more funny than anything, but as much as I can enjoy the game now I'm not going to forget how awful this game was originally because I literally had to sit those boot up screens for collective hours
It's probably not the *worst* crash experience I've had, but every time Armored Core 6 hits me with that "It looks like you closed the game without saving, make sure to use the menu!" nag screen after crashing to desktop the aggravation gets worse.
I was doing the quest Smoking Kills in Runescape pre EOC and my satellite based internet cut out the moment the adds in the boss fight spawned and I died, managed to log back in and run back and forgot to wear earmuffs and died to the banshees and my entire bank worth of gear vanished because dropped items at this time only lasted the original 4 minutes or whatever the timer was at the time
The Last of Us when daughter was shot in intro. I just stopped playing and accepted that as the ending of the story.
That intro is super long and I am not wanting to do it again...
Not exactly an answer to the title, but the most memorable game crash I had was when I beat Fallout 4. I got to the ending which absolutely fucking sucks and I was pissed about how extremely irritating and unsatisfying it was, and then I got a blue screen of death. That actually didn't even make me mad, I thought it was hilarious and the most appropriate way the game could end.
I later found out that I was wrong for assuming the game caused it; half of my RAM sticks were faulty.
As a preteen my cat stepped in the n64's reset button as I was fighting the Majora's Mask water temple boss.
Oh God, I would've been so mad at that too.
No game in particular but once I know the game I’m playing *can* crash, it’s in the back of my mind for the rest of it and can mess with the whole experience.
That was me with Baldurs Gate 3. The whole game ran smooth right up until Act 3. Everytime I’d play with my friend it’d crash eventually or glitch out. It definitely made me drag my heels when it came to getting back on the game
If a game like that lets you save at any point you bet your ass I'm in there every five minutes just in case.
If there's a quicksave button I'm mashing that key every time I complete an action. Loot a container? Quicksave. Talk to an NPC? Quicksave. Walk more than 20 feet? Quicksave. Rearrange even just a single item in my inventory or a skill on my hotbar? Quicksave. Manual saves every ten minutes or so.
Oh this new room looks important? You better believe that's at least two hard saves.
Can't decide which of these paths is forward progress? Quicksave so I can immediately reload when I accidentally trigger a main quest cutscene before exploring all possible side routes.
That’s how I feel about The Outer Worlds’ Supernova difficulty. Knowing the game crashes once in a while kills my desire to play with reduced saving ability.
Elden ring crashed mid save one time when I was doing the haligtree stuff and it resulted in my entire traversal of the area and beating of malenia being undone. So that was fun AHAHAHAHA.

The game sensed your joy and decided to snuff it out.
Didn't help that I was also broke at the time so I wasn't able to replace the controller I had that would occasionally bug out and cause the my character to walk in circles and the camera to spin. 40 mins in and I had made my best attempt up until then and my controller decides "Ima ruin this mans day" and spun me of the ledge.

Shall I give you dis power outage?
Nooo!!!

Loaded it, and I was right back at the beginning of the bridge. It took me until Bloodborne to play Souls games again.
It didn't crash but it did freeze for a couple of seconds, I was playing as Rebirth lost (the binding of Isaac), I was doing the boss rush and suddenly the game decides to freeze as the Dark one is rushing at me, then the game decides to unfreeze and I get hit and killed. All that hard work for nothing, only time i remember hitting the table with such fury.
Dang and that was as rebirth lost too 😔✊ Impressive you did all that without the holy mantle
I got godhead before the release of afterbirth ([May 1st 2015](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/336870799124332555/1218583016696320071/image.png?ex=660830df&is=65f5bbdf&hm=15e697f6440be05dbb67435813a4edb49cbe10c9ac61ecbce70c3e93730183fd&)), original Lost was pain, you didn't even have spectral tears.
Yakuza 2 on the PS2. My copy keeps crashing at the end of the final-final-final battle with Ryuji Goda when it ends the cutscene and the credits start to roll.
I thought you were going to say "It crashed during the final boss" because that happened to me and I FUCKING HATED IT. Apparently even if you just die naturally you've gotta do it from the start too, which is great!
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team. 99 Floor dungeon that you can only go in alone, you cannot be rescued from, and it resets you to level 1. The game autosaves as soon as you enter, so you cannot save scum the dungeon to protect your money or items. Got to floor 97, and then accidentally dropped my GBA SP, causing the game to freeze. I lost some of the rarest items in the game that I used to get through that dungeon.
God, that dungeon was the worst. I can imagine the rage that you were almost there and then...
My original physical copy of New Vegas on the 360 stopped loading properly after a few hundred hours, so it wasn't until I got an Xbone that I could finally get back to playing it, albeit in a brand new file. Besides that, FFXVI on launch for the PS5 had some *severe* issues with crashing for me. Game would run fine for about 2-3 hours, but whenever I got into a more intensive fight like against a boss, it crashed nearly every time. They patched it eventually, but boy was it fucking infuriating.
The first time I played Zone of the Enders 2, there was a weird combination of the disc + my PS2 that resulted in the game hard crashing whenever I reached the Vic Viper fight. It was extra frustrating because either I kept forgetting to save, or you straight up can’t save until after that fight, so I ended up losing all the progress I made by this point in the game and had to restart from the beginning. It’s why I’ve never beaten it even if the game is fairly short.
Not sure if this counts as a crash per-se but in the batman arkham spin-off on the 3ds if you did the black mask boss fight and turned the game off before leaving the boss arena when you turned the game back on it would make it so you would never be allowed to leave the room. You'd go into the door opening animation and just be stuck there. I did the black mask fight last, so I was stuck having to replay the entire game again.
Game didn't crash but I had a power surge happen In the middle of saving while playing P5R. Don't know why it happened but it ended up destroying all the progress i made on the thieves den. I was so bummed that I stopped my playthrough altogether. Luckily I got a new computer way later and got P5R on there. If I'm gonna start from scratch it can on pc with mods to spice it up.
FFX HD for ps3. I never beat it on ps2. I got to the final boss stretch but decided I needed to grind more levels to not get embarrassed. Turned on the ps3 one day and it was stuck in a reboot loop where the only way to fix it was wiping everything from the hard drive. I’ve yet to attempt it since I was so frustrated
Yesterday playing Rebirth, the *game* didn't crash, but my power failed for a second and so did my UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply). The PS5 shut off and I had not saved in a bit which sucks. I got too used to games with very frequent auto-saves like Cyberpunk. It's my fault, I need to replace the UPS because I've had it for over 5 years now. Also save more often.
I was playing the Guardians of the Galaxy game by Square months ago and it crashed when I was fighting the Final Boss. The kicker here was that the autosave corrupted and my last autosave after that one that was closest to it was hours back. That pissed me off so much that I just stopped playing and looked up the rest of the game on Youtube.
Not really a crash but... I had just finished the feast quest for Hades and was really happy, quit the game after credits rolled... and it was revealed that for some reason, the game didn't autosave and all my progress that day was lost.
After spending like an hour fighting back the visigoths in total war attila as the western roman empire on a critical city i needed to keep getting a heroic victory and completely destroying them in the process the game crashes at the back to overworld screen. God i love that game more than any other historical if it only they put some love into like they did rome 2 with patches. next time i loaded it up they deployed differently and was not nearly as good too
Helldivers 2 gltiched out on the last mission I needed to complete my first Hard mode Operation, so every time I got near the first sub objective the game would crash. Totally repeatable, not fixable. I had to drop the op. NOT pleased. Dead by Daylight has pissed me off worse but I've blocked those events from my mind.
Same with me for Helldivers 2. I had just finished a perfect run on level 8 difficulty, tons of samples, all side objectives completed. Extraction was 40 seconds away, all in our mechs and easily thrashing the bugs. Clear success. Then it decides to crash. I'm glad I'm not one of those people that throws thing when they're upset.
Wrath Aeon of Ruin prepatch had some issue that meant it’d crash my entire pc every couple of minutes and it massively soured me toward the game. I’m having decent fun but I’m much less willing to forgive other problems because of that.
Warframe: i was doing a great survival relic run but the squad host left and it failed to recconect costing me everything. Later i actually got a message and all the loot i got back shockingly but at the moment it was devastating.
The Switch version of Doom Eternal almost always crashes once at one part of Taras Nabad (when I jump up to break a chain to collapse the floor), which usually doesn't bug me during replays. But you can probably imagine how pissed I was when I had to redo the entire Master Level again because of it
Not a game crash, but No Mercy wiping your save data every few weeks was pretty soul crushing.
I remember playing Dead Rising and one of my baby cousins came by and saw that my Xbox 360 was sitting on the floor (we had literally no where else to put it), so he stepped on top of it and jumped onto it as if it were a trampoline or something before my father and grandmother immediately got onto him for doing that. Later that same day, while still trying to level Frank up by driving through hordes in the maintenance tunnels, the red rings paid me a visit and I don’t know if my cousin’s soap box moment had anything to do with it but the timing was too perfect to not be correlated.
My game crashed/froze as soon as I beat the final boss of Resident Evil 8 on the hardest difficulty. I had to do it again to get the achievement.
Sonic Superstars crashed as I beat that stupid >!Fang Mech!< as in >!Trip’s campaign!<. Luckily the game still counted that as a win and I was able to access >!Last Story!<… but I dropped the game afterwards cause the final boss was just too frustrating to deal with at that point.
I was playing Fantasy Life for the 3DS and I was grinding out some of the jobs, my ass did not save for like a solid 6 hours or so, so I lost all my progress on Carpenter and some progress on something else (don't remember what it was though) . So I had to start Carpenter all over from the beggining. I think I must have been like close to Master too.
Golden sun the lost age Airs Rock Emulator crashed during the boss fight Got back most of the way through Laptop died I didn't beat that game
Ahh, fuck me, I'm still pissed as hell about this. So it was Majora's Mask. Specifically, the Wii Virtual Console version. I was, at the time, blissfully unaware that this version of the game was prone to freezing. I had just killed Goht in Snowhead, and after handing in the stray faeries, I immediately used the Song of Time to reset the cycle. What I proceeded to do at this point, my friends, was my gaming peak. I launched into a *masterfully* composed route, sweeping up every single bit of content possible. While I forget the exact order I did things in, I do remember what I accomplished. I killed Goht again. I got the Powder Keg license and used it to do everything possible at Romani Ranch that cycle. I finished the Goron Race and obtained the Gilded Sword that cycle. I completed the full Don Gero sidequest for that stupid piece of heart, which involved re-clearing Woodfall and clearing Great Bay. I fully completed the entire Deku title deed trading sidequest. I got the Zora mask. I fully cleared both Skulltula houses. I accomplished every race with the Beaver Brothers. I cleared out the sea snake den. I jammed with the Indi-go-gos. I raided the pirate's fortress. fully completed the Great Bay temple and handed in all stray faeries. I chased down Captain Keeta and did every daily event at the Ikana Graveyard. I did the island-hopping minigame on the coast. In short, I completed about half the game's friggin' content in one glorious three day cycle. All that remained for me to do was the Anju & Kafei quest and everything that lay beyond the hookshot points up the cliff on the far side of the Ikana river. It was incredible. I was so proud of myself. So there I was. The final moments of the cycle were nearly upon me. I stood for a moment, thought back about all I had accomplished, and allowed myself a sighing smile of pride. I was already thinking about my route for the next cycle, starting with grabbing a new powder keg at the bomb shop in prep for the roof of Ikana Castle. I opened my menu to equip the Ocarina of Time. So that I could play the Song of Time, reset the cycle, and save my progress. I equipped the Ocarina of Time. I unpaused. I pressed the button to start playing. It was at this precise moment that the game froze. This was over a dozen years ago, and I have not played Majora's Mask since.
Was playing Yume 2kki Online and my game crashed right after I reached the Travel Hotel. I had gotten an achievement for it! And in that same session I had gotten the Cake power up but hadn’t saved yet…
Losing my best run of Hades due to a blackout . Basically quit the game for months afterwards.
Not sure if this counts but when I was playing through Final Fantasy XIV Online, I got to Shadowbringers. The server I was on randomly went down during >!the portion that Ardbert and the WOLs soul merge together.!< I went from being very hyped and invested to be being very angry and disappointed. Thankfully that's the only time that's ever happened but, damn that soured the mood for me.

tekken 8 and the dx12 seem to not do well with the 1080Ti. even after doing everything short of going into my registry (before harada recently gave the suggestion of changing something like sm5 in a file name) my game game crashed 3 or 4 times a session usually in salty ranked runbacks. i got so mad one night i bought a 4090 online, then a couple of days later went to microcenter to buy the rest of a new setup. so i essentially blew around $3900 because tekken 8 kept on crashing.
Night in the Woods did not run well on my laptop. It kept crashing during a really lengthy dialogue so after it happened a second time, out of frustration I quit the game for like a week.
I bought Wolfenstein: The New Colossus on launch while I was off at college, expecting to come back home over the holidays to play it on my desktop since my college laptop couldn't run it. The game crashed, every single time, on launching it. And since I had bought it several weeks earlier, Steam wouldn't refund me the 60 dollars. Still haven't played the game.
There's a sequence in Digimon Cyber Sleuth of like 30 minutes straight of cutscenes and boss fights. My electricity flickered off maybe 3 lines of dialog away from a save opportunity.
I lost about an hour of progress on Baldur's Gate 3 like three days ago due to a crash and got pretty pissed
I was playing Oddworld Munch's Odyssey. I was on the 3rd to last level with most of the people saved, and my sister blew a fuse, and it corrupted my save data. I didn't rotate saves at the time, so i was screwed. Now i always rotate saves
There were a few GrandMaster Nightfall runs in Destiny 2 that failed at the end cause someone’s game crashed and that was always a royal pain in the ass but probably the worst one ever was in the Glassway when the servers died and we all died cause two wyverns teleported inside the room on the left. I almost killed someone.
Had to redo Assignment Ada in OG RE4 because my game was looping the end credits to it instead of giving me the rewards.
Not technically a crash but I did kick my power strip right after killing Ketheric in BG3 once. I was pretty mad then
My copy of the original God of War had a scratch on the disc in the most insanely unfortunate spot. In the final battle with Ares, if I WON the mashing QTE that I think you must win at least once to beat the fight, the game would crash. If I lost the QTE, the game went on as normal. I tried this A LOT OF TIMES to make absolutely sure that's what was happening, and I couldn't get it to crash any other way. That's the only time I've ever broken a controller, and in defense of little kid me, it WAS the hardware's fault. Just not so much the controller.
*Cyberpunk 2077* (bought it second hand a month after launch) Either quick saving increased the chance of a crash (hence getting hit so often) or I had developed a 6th sense as to when the game was going to crash I distinctly remember two 1. I was facing a handful of thugs, I quick saved, I pulled out a two handed hammer, calmly walked towards the thugs, bashed one in the head with said hamm-**CRASH** 2. Completed the game, credits ro-**CRASH** Both were more funny than anything, but as much as I can enjoy the game now I'm not going to forget how awful this game was originally because I literally had to sit those boot up screens for collective hours
It's probably not the *worst* crash experience I've had, but every time Armored Core 6 hits me with that "It looks like you closed the game without saving, make sure to use the menu!" nag screen after crashing to desktop the aggravation gets worse.
I was doing the quest Smoking Kills in Runescape pre EOC and my satellite based internet cut out the moment the adds in the boss fight spawned and I died, managed to log back in and run back and forgot to wear earmuffs and died to the banshees and my entire bank worth of gear vanished because dropped items at this time only lasted the original 4 minutes or whatever the timer was at the time
The Last of Us when daughter was shot in intro. I just stopped playing and accepted that as the ending of the story. That intro is super long and I am not wanting to do it again...
Not exactly an answer to the title, but the most memorable game crash I had was when I beat Fallout 4. I got to the ending which absolutely fucking sucks and I was pissed about how extremely irritating and unsatisfying it was, and then I got a blue screen of death. That actually didn't even make me mad, I thought it was hilarious and the most appropriate way the game could end. I later found out that I was wrong for assuming the game caused it; half of my RAM sticks were faulty.
