When Gaming Is Not Fun

Mortal Kombat 9: Such a frustrating game that there were several times when I just wanted to throw the controller away. Take for example Challenge Tower mission 251 (Shang Tsung vs. Baraka/Sindel/Shao Khan). Now, I'm decent at these kind of games but this is almost like a luck based challenge (btw, I've completed the whole Tower but I still haven't cleared this stage). I'm almost at the verge of giving up here. I'm not "hardcore" enough that I want to pursue this endlessly. I finished the final stage in about 5 attempts with Scorpion abusing his teleport. Same with the final fight against Shao Khan in the Story Mode (spamming Raiden's teleport and uppercut). These battles were so cheesy and useless that it spoiled my whole experience of the game. So the developers couldn't have made a more "intelligent AI"? In some fights against Shao Khan I spammed Liu Kang's flying kick where after a few ridiculous fights, the boss would simple stand in one corner and taunt you. You know you've done something wrong when the fights actually come down to this. Just to be clear, 251 is the stage I'm currently stuck at but there were several others before this where I was almost about to give up and then on one lucky encounter, the enemy decided it was Siesta time.
