History ThisIsGonnaSuck / VideoGames

* In ''VideoGame/UltimateSpiderMan'', Spidey comes across a path of flaming destruction left by the Rhino and comments "Oh, this hurts already." And then later, when you finally catch up to Rhino:

* Every boss in ''VideoGame/RadiantSilvergun'' (except for the Stage 1 boss) is preceded by a warning screen with three pieces of cryptic advice. For the Stage 6 boss, the three tips are "Be praying," "Be praying," and "Be praying."

* In ''VideoGame/DeadSpace2'', when going through the Ishumura, this happens:

* The hardest difficulty setting in ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' is Nightmare!, featuring faster monsters that respawn shortly after being killed, and most cheat codes disabled. The only advantage you have is that enemies that drop ammo drop more than normal. When selecting it, the game asks "Are you sure? [[HarderThanHard This skill level]] [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard isn't even remotely fair]]."
** id Software's next game, ''VideoGame/{{Quake}}'', tells you this without any words: the difficulty and episode are chosen by a small hub level. The entrance to the Hard difficulty is past a cracked bridge over a pool of lava (yes, it's possible to fall in and die ''before choosing the difficulty level''), with some thrashing people nailed to the walls nearby. And the entrance to Nightmare difficulty is deliberately hidden: [[spoiler:First, you have to pass through the Hard hallway to the Episode Select room, go to the Episode 4 room, and jump in the pool of water. If you want to play episode 4, you just drop down, and beneath the water is a [[BuffySpeak non-water place]]. There is a rail positioned so that if you move in a certain direction while under water, you'll land on the rail instead of on the ground beneath, and the rail leads to the Nightmare difficulty portal]].

* There's always Marcus Fenix's near CatchPhrase in ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'': "Ah, ''shit.''"
** His response when he gets stuck with a Torque Bow bolt: "Damn." (Though it's his tone of voice that really sells it.)

* This trope is name-dropped in ''[[VideoGame/GhostRecon Ghost Recon: Future Soldier]]'' as [[spoiler:a sandstorm hits during a mission in Africa]] by [[DeadpanSnarker one]] of the [[BadassCrew Ghosts]].

** [[UpToEleven And there's also level 5-2, a level so difficult that even the level designer has difficulty beating it.]] One gaming magazine actually named the level designer for 5-2 one of the ten most evil video game villains of all time.

* ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct'': Gargos is this for [[PerfectPlayAI both of his games.]] And Shadow Lord [[SNKBoss Gargos?]] Choosing anyone against him at his full power is this, choosing [[TheChosenOne Kim Wu]]? '''''100% [[UpToEleven guaranteed]] [[OhCrap PAIN]]'''''.

* ''VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar'', when Sand Island is attacked by Yuktobonian bombers, Airmen First Class Hans "Grimm" Archer takes off to assist the Wardog squadron to fend them off, despite the fact that Grimm is barely out of basic flight training. One of the base personnel is heard over the radio saying: "We’ve resorted to launching ''him'' into battle? This base is toast isn’t it?"

One of the base personnel is heard over the radio saying: "We’ve resorted to launching ''him'' into battle? This base is toast isn’t it?"

-->''"Guys, I feel like I'm about to be dunked on."''

-->''Warning: seismic disturbance detected. Nydus worm inbound.''\\

-->'''Clementine:''' So... this is going to hurt like hell.

* ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct'': Gargos is this for [[PerfectPlayAI both of his games.]] And Shadow Lord [[SNKBoss Gargos?]] Choosing anyone against him at his full power is this, choosing [[TheChosenOne Kim Wu]]? '''''100% [[UpToEleven guaranteed]] [[OhCrap PAIN]]'''''

'''Kazooie:''' Oh this can't be good; [[BreakingTheFourthWall the music suddenly changed]].

* ''VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar'', when Sand Island is attacked by Yuktobonian bombers, Airmen First Class Hans "Grimm" Archer takes off to assist the Wardog squadron to fend them off. One of the base personnel is heard over the radio saying: "This base is toast isn’t it?"

** If in the final episode of the first season you choose to have whoever's with you cut off [[spoiler: Lee's]] arm [[AmputationStopsSpread in the hopes that it might stop him from becoming a walker,]] you see a pop-up notification in the upper left-hand corner. In a Telltale game, these notifications are usually to notify you that whoever you're talking to will remember what you just said or did -- in this case, it just says, [[BrutalHonesty "This is gonna hurt."]]
