Not a crappy moment, but the sheer stupidity of the Ai in New Vegas made me chuckle a bit. Normally after you finish Veronica's Quest, you confronted a bunch of asshat paladins rookies as soon you step out of the bunker. Well, there's a little scorpion nearby and what happened? They squeal like schoolgirls as they are trying to kill the bug with their laser weaponary. It took so long for them to finishing the bug stomping freakout that I've decided to walk away quietly instead.
So... if the Brotherhood of Steel exclusive 'membership' is consist of schoolboys who didn't hit puberty yet... well, you're fucked. No wonder this branch is much more pissweak than the DC Washingtion branch and don't get me started how their tech were lowgrade compare to these guys in New Vegas.

The map of Europe you see when you send Assassins on missions in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood shows Moscow as being in Poland.
I think someone at Ubisoft might have failed high-school Geography.

Ubisoft Montreal makes those games. Proof positive that it is not just Americans who fail at basic geography.

Another Brotherhood one: That terrible free-running tutorial, where Ezio is leaving the Vatican, and the entire chamber he was in just mechanically descends, and hand and footholds come out of the walls, so he has to climb out to get to Mario. Could they not have found a less ridiculous looking way to teach new players how to free-run, like, I dunno, all that free-running Mario and Ezio do to escape Rome at the end of the tutorial?!

Kasumi's jumping-up-to-the-helicopter to kill that vaguely evil guy in her loyalty mission. I think Bioware intended all the climbing to look badass, but I was just laughing. She leaps about 20 feet to a pipe, backflips off it and onto a hovering gunship. Is she in The Matrix or something?

But a lot of things in Mass Effect are, so it didn't bother me too much. But I will nominate that same vaguely evil guy's apalling 'South African' accent.

South African? I thought he was Scottish. He's definitely the same guy that does Scottie down in the hold.

The consenus at the Bioware forums is that the accent is South African. Apparently the English speakers there have a very harsh sounding accent. I thought Scottish at first too, but it was weird sounding to me and much harsher than any Scott or Irish accent I have heard.

Since we're talking about ME2, a crappy moment for me was the ending. The entire game was building to this suicide mission, so I took that cue and did all the loyalty missions, upgraded everything. But I wasn't able to choose the paragon option during Jack and Miranda's fight. Didn't think anything about it until people started to die at the Collector base.
Nearly 30 hours of playing, most of my party died, and I got a cliffhanger ending...I wasn't as happy as I could've been. =(

That scottish engineers accent isn't all that good, either, but, you know me, I don't let little things like that annoy me.

Knight, I know how you feel. I got to the end and picked excellent people for the job, and they died! I mean, come on, a loyal zaeed should be able to lead a fireteam, right? Wrong.

It was suggested once that Zaeed may well give you a clue that he'd be a lousy fireteam leader since his former bunch of mercs did shoot him in the head (and he does work alone as a bounty hunter when you recruit him), though it probably would have been nice to have a little more warning than that.
