I met a new type of enemy that appeared immune to the weapons I have, but only caused stun damage. They got everyone while I was trying to get my unconscious units to extraction for retreat.

As someone who likes to pretend I know the game (sans endgame), this is horrifying.  I recently restarted (due to basically winning a financial victory in J14 pre J14a patch) and am looking forward to whatever you faced.

Transferred a bunch of gear from Cass to ED-E, so I could dismiss Cass for Boone. Recruited Boone, went to go travel elsewhere, and then the game crashed.

Also have a weird bug where after taking the stuff from ED-E and dropping it in my motel room in Novac(presumably to never be used again), they're marked to be stolen rather than picked up normally. I don't lose Karma for picking it up though.

It was in a special event that can appear very early, but is rare and requires some special equipment.

Reached a floor/section of the facility titled "Military Base - Prepare to Die".

I did.

This was because I had encountered a new enemy type that was apparently capable of phasing through reality or something and in so doing, causing bullets to pass straight through it.

I was not granted this same protection, and was destroyed attempting to exhaust the phasing ability by shooting them repeatedly - to no apparent effect.

If anyone knows how I deal with those foes, please let me know. For all I know a possible strategy is to run the hell away and wait for the enemy to deactivate the phase through reality power.

Died a lot trying to make some jumps in Pump Man's stage.  That was after dying a ton to Sheep Man, although his stage was easy.

And that's after dying so very many times in Wily's fortress in the previous game.

Life is too short to play Mega Man 9 and 10.

I think it says something about the casual brutality of the game that you started dying before you started playing:D

I was on a pretty great win streak. Then I ended up having to solo tank a couple of times (the meta has been dual tank for... years, basically), had a couple of AFK players, and some very questionable picks. My win rate is still well above 50%, but it's a lot worse than it used to be, yikes.

It's not far off, believe me... I had this feeling of dread just starting Mega Man 10...

Hitman 2, newest limited-time assassination contract. It takes place in the map I've spent the most time in. I got to the target, had a costume on, got him separated, and...suddenly I was compromised (costume no longer works, being hunted, shoot-to-kill orders) by half of the people in the building. Managed to hide, kill one security guard that nobody saw, change outfits, got shot to death anyway (to be fair, on that one, I was standing over a body when they saw me. Usually get a few seconds first, though).

Death Wish mode. Accurate description.

The first one is simple, do Chapter 1, Act 5(? where you have to turn off the lava faucets) again, only you now have to worry about burning up yourself if you don't have a dip in some water to cool off. That was easy, it's just the bonus objectives that are murderous. First is "Don't get too hot" meaning you have to stay very close to water. The other, much harder one is "Cool off at most 2 times". I don't think that one is particularly doable with my level of skill, especially since there are no health pickups in Death Wish stages.

I think my save file corrupted. I do have an earlier save from a little while back, just in case.

Not a death but a funny failure.

Built a small airship/helicopter Put a big turreted cannon on the bottom.  I as of then did not have much experience with helicopters.

Cannon fires.  craft does a backflip, oops.  But amusingly, at the end of the backflip the cannon fires off another shot, another backflip faster this time, lines up another shot another faster flip.  This continues until it eventually falls into the ocean where it eats a torpedo.  None of the cannon shots hit.

I Magoo'd my way through that one. Got out alive only because I took advantage of the pipe near the satellite dish, popping between the two floors to kill the nearby guard or two before vanishing back to the pipe. I managed to get the security room cleared out and hauled ass to the helicopter. It's the first Elusive Target I've attempted that I almost failed across both games.

To be fair though it was my fault. I'd disguised myself as the dude making his murderpen without realizing he was going to meet with him then spoke to Sean Bean and triggered the sequence of events. In a panic because he was getting angery, I slammed his face into the pen in a room full of guards and scientists and beat feet.

Trying to do a little speedrun and I keep getting some utterly rotten luck when it comes to rares (always vortex and waller) and level generation. Still, I persist.

Got the furtherst ever, level 58, all pretty much great and good. Managed to fully clear the story and both DLC's, just beating the master of flesh seconds prior. Then I see a path leading out of the boss arena and go, ok, this probably leads to the exit and I can turn in all these quests and finish the veteran run and go into elite. Except the path is all fucking aetherfire and chunks you incredibly fast, I figure that's cool, I'll potion trough it and run trough the area, except I realise it's a fucking dead end too late and drop dead.

On to attempt number 7, the pile of corpses will continue to grow it seems.
