Angriest a game has gotten you

[The Gatherer]

I don't know how many of you have ventured into the murky depths which is resi 5's professional mode but those who have will know of what i speak. I am of course on about the first fight with Jill and Wesker after the bit with the beta lickers.
This fight is the most excruciating mental anguish a game has caused me in recent memory, not only is your partner's (and i use the term loosely) A.I as incompetent as an elderly bed bound American woman on fire, but it holds out the ability to heal yourself and your partner, while in a world of one hit kills this, i don't have to tell you can become extremely annoying to such an extent that it took me 2 hours and 37 minutes to best them. I kid you not TWO AND A HALF FUCKING HOURS! I would of preferred bathing with an uroboros than being put through that trauma.
And don't get me started on the co-op QTE section the next time you fight him... but i shall spare you that one for another time, now if you would excuse me i think i hear the bath over flowing.

Back when Jak and Daxter: Precurser Legacy came out and I was a bit younger, I was so upset about getting lost in the swamp region that it brought me to tears (like, a crying fit, and I'm serious. It was pretty sad.) I eventually picked it up about 4 monthes later and wound up beating it w/ every power cell and every precurser orb discovered. Still is my favorite series.

Challenge Tower in MK9. There's a bunch of challenges that made me really mad, so I'll be lazy and not list them.

battlefield 2 : modern combat for the ps2

no, its nothing to do with the Pc game

http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation2/4-/166949/Battlefield-2-Modern-Combat/Product.html?_%24ja=tsid:11518|cat:166949|prd:166949

that, pos.


last time i had a total nerd-rage at any game, i spent 6 hours trying to complete a stupid mission where you have to scan for enemies and go kill them, my scanner would not work ever, i checked the manual, i plugged in a different controller.. nothing it would not activate..
so, after about 20 attempts, deaths by helicopter gunships, troop drops and more bs that was going on at the time i eventually managed to find and kill everyone without the scanner

and i lost, for not using the scanner
QQ


ruined my favourite ps2 controller that
( the clear blue one, snapped the left stick right off by throwing it at the edge of a table )

after that, i decided to just not play any game that annoyed me or caused problems by being stupid
so i don't have nerd-rages anymore, just
" WHATNOW SRSLY!?!? fuuuuuuutoo then. "
moments

i think it's healthier.

Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 for xbox and 360, respectively. The first one was really hard when I first got it, and I didn't get very far before I just stopped playing it. About a year later, I went back to it, and was doing a lot better. I was dying less by just being more cautious in how I fought. Then I got a few levels in and got to a town where I just could literally not get any farther. I went every single place that was available to me looking for a door to walk through or a switch to hit, but nothing. Add on top of that the endlessly respawning enemies, and I just quit. I didn't want to have to go look up a walkthrough just to progress on a game that was starting to feel like more of a chore than it was worth.

The second game was even worse. I never got stuck, but the game was honestly just what I would call unfair. The camera in the game is the most difficult enemy that you will face. My rage started to build when I was facing a boss in this cramped room, and these freaking little dudes off the screen that I can't even see are just whipping exploding throwing stars at me that I can't even block because even if I do block them, they still explode, and while I'm cartwheeling through the air, the big dude just pummels me in to oblivion, and then I get juggled in the air by more explosions. After I finally beat that level, I move on to these giant cyborg-salamander things, and while they're trying to eat my face there's little pissants launching salvo after salvo of rockets at me that are, again, unblockable. Throw in that these dudes are across the freaking map, so I have to run through a warzone of explosions just to try to get at them.

Those are they only two games that ever made me so mad that I just quit and didn't even want to play anymore.

Surely a game or games in particular have gotten you to breaking point, so what game if you can remember made you the most angry and even if you can't remember the game, what did you do when at your most angry and frustrated period? Was a controller broken? Was a console broken? Was a TV broken? Did you burst into tears? Did you refuse to play for a week? Did you sell the game off and refuse to complete it?

Do tell

In terms of appallingly bad game design though, "F.E.A.R" takes it without question. It's not so much that it's a bad game - although it is - rather that it has so many little moments that make you want to take the game designers by the throat and shake them until their eyeballs fall out.

Playing the first Dragon BallZ: Raging Blast fighter, I'm searching through various lobbys and I notice the person who's ranked #1 in the online leaderboards in a unranked match, I figure to myself "Ah what the heck it's unranked I've got nothing to lose so I'll give it a shot." and challenged him.

The match began with me picking Goku Super Saiyan 2 and him using Super Perfect Cell, everything proceeded as expected. He got the first hit confirmed and I was trapped in a combo for awhile until I escaped and began my own. I note that his custom fighter was set up for damage and not for defense(Whereas mine was the opposite way around) and I watched his health quickly fall.

After ending my combo we both back off a bit to charge some more energy, when we re-clashed this time I got the hit confirmed and put him at a heavy disadvantage, where he immediately quit to prevent losing. In a unranked match.

After which I realised that the #1 was no true top-leader in the game but someone who had boosted his way to the top early and managed to hold that spot by doing more of the same every time someone else got close to his score record.

After that I was in hysterics I was so disapointed. The sheer realisation that someone could be so low to quit in a unranked match yet still be #1 in the leaderboards was like when I realised there was no Santa Claus. Except now my temper tantrum caused varying objects to be sent flying into walls and break. Rather than just fall over like a child would and begin to cry.

I don't trust or respect leaderboards anymore.

Oh wait. I forgot about older games. So many... I was replaying "Final Fight" on the Sega CD not so long ago. There are so many cheap shots in that game (especially if you're playing single-player mode) that you'll end up screaming at the screen. Enemies throw practically unavoidable attacks from offscreen, etc.

I was playing GTA: San Andreas on my PC and I was doing the mission for the casino heist where you have to steal a bunch of police bikes and park them on the back of a packer truck.
First time I did it, I died on the last bike. I grunted "Ah dammit". But thought "Screw it, I'll try again".

So I did. I played through it, taking a fair bit of damage with full body armour. Eventually, I got to the last bike and had it barely inched away from the ramp of the packer truck and before I got on it, A GOD-DAMN BIKE COP SHOT ME OFF AND KILLED ME. Literally a millisecond away from completing the mission.

I yelled so loud, one of my neighbors called to police. But not before I stabbed my CRT monitor with a ballpoint pen and put a big dirty scratch across the screen.

Happy times.

*Nier Spoilers*

2 points in nier. One when Kaine got turned to stone and niers daughter got kidnapped, and the other when Emil sacrificed himself to save Kaine and Nier. The second was really a mix of anger and sadness. It was the first time I ever cried in the last 5 years...

Super Robot Taisen. no question. You know when you start levels with only 3 times as many enemies as your units with no healers and three bosses you can't hit and you KNOW there is going to be three groups of reinforcements that sh*ts hit the fan

That's a d**k. I mean, seriously. Those secrets were utter BS

OH YEAH.

It took me THREE DAYS. I don't even remember sleeping or eating or going to work. I could seriously have ended up dead. I have some vague memories of the dinosaurs dying out, or something.

And I haven't even mentioned "Forest".

 

[Konatacalypse]

Mass Effect 2 and World of Warcraft. The first one made me rant to my brother for an hour. The other made destroy my keyboard.

Monster Hunter, back when I was younger...

That Yian Kut Ku gave me nightmares.

 

[icame]

I remember another. I was in a halo 2 match that ended up being 4 Vs 2. I was on the team with 2, and all the other teammate would do when he spawned was throw 2 grenades at the wall and kill himself to lower the teams score. Luckily, I was able to kill the other team fast enough and managed to die myself only once to keep him from making me lose. Throughout the whole match I was screaming at the screen and even through my controller in frustration at one point, but I got through it.

 

[JasonKaotic]

I think I've possibly overmodded Morrowind, which leads to a lot of frustrating problems. The game goes so. Goddamn. Slow. Sometimes. And has a nasty tendancy to "MORROWIND HAS ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO CLOSE LULS" and occasionally make my computer reset itself. I'm not sure why it does that, but it does. Morrowind is a *****. It makes me very, very angry when it does it a lot. There are some days where it does it pretty much constantly and I because of it I press F5 nearly every time I take a step on the game whenever I play it in fear Morrowind'll close itself and I'll lose my progress.

If you mean because of the game itself, I can't quite remember what made me most frustrated, but Lost Odyssey pissed me off majorly because of it's fucking difficulty. That game is fucking impossible. The sort of kind of fucking impossible that makes me want to say use fuck a lot when describing it. It's fucking unbelievable. I haven't played it in a long time, I value my sanity.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I once stupidly tried to play Zelda II with no help. I ended up throwing my controller at the tv, destroying both. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

Hah! I just finished that game about a week ago. I'll let you in on a little secret...

...it isn't any easier, even with help.

OP: I get angry with almost every single game I play.

Here's a rule to live by:

"If you aren't yelling at the TV, you aren't having any fun."

When I was younger, I used to be really into Naruto. I had just bought this game called Naruto: Chronicles. There was one level where I had to find a bunch of tags in a few minutes. I had tried the level around fifteen times. I was extremely pissed. I don't what it is called but when got pissed at I would hold my breath, grind my teeth, and push. Not push things physically, but like strain my brain. I tried the level one last time. I lost. I don't know how long I held it, but my body forced itself to stop. My teeth and and head hurt like crazy. I was lightheaded and I was bright red [and I'm black so I must have done something.] I think I may have popped a blood vessel. I haven't done it since.
Now I can keep my cool on just about any game, especially if I'm sitting with my friends, but occasionally I will get pissed. About a month ago I was playing Halo. I'm pretty good at it, and even when we are losing I still manage to have fun, but this round was different. Their team had two snipers. We were sitting ducks. They kept killing us as soon as we spawned. I got so pissed eventually I bit my controller till it cracked and then threw it against the concrete floor about five times. It was broken and I threw it out, but I felt a lot better.

Dragon Age 2. Not because anything was broken.
A number of unfavourable events transpire with relation to your family, and then you find out that certain other people may have been involved with those events, and then I got angry and killed everything.
Surprisingly immersive game.

Don't tell me that you got angry at Orsini, the Leader of the Kirkwall Circle? 'Cause I got pissed at him when I found out he knew who killed my mother, and is partially to blame for it.

Probably the angriest I've gotten during playing a game if you don't count rage-quits.

 

[blackcapedmanx]

I rage victoried unlocking everything in SSBM. I find a good churned up scorching anger does the body good in channeling intent into output. In particular I remember Pichu's Break the Targets level ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN-9R-ntvoI ) and being infuriated at trying to get the perfect timing to get whatever goddamn expectation they had to unlock some fucking trophy.
