The Moment You Stopped Playing A Game Forever

In my review of Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, I had a lot of fun identifying the game's many Nope Moments—the times when a half-open door or a darkened hallway were almost too foreboding. But of course, lots of games have lots of different Nope Moments, and we don't always overcome them.

I thought I'd turn it over to you guys to see what your own most memorable gaming Nope Moments are. Given how successful the template for our Classic PC Games post was, it seemed like a good idea to follow similar guidelines here. So! Please stick to 'em. Also, you can find general tips for using and commenting on Kotaku here.

Guidelines

1. You can share any kind of Nope Moment. This doesn't have to just be scary games. If a game was just too difficult or too dumb; too annoying or massive; too loud, too bright, too European, whatever... they're all Nope Moments. Scary works too, though.
