Games that genuinely make you angry.

[SeeIn2D]

FIFA 12 is one of the most genuinely rage inducing games I've ever played. It even dethrones the mighty Call of Duty. In this game it thinks it's okay to give me a yellow card when another player runs into me and I have the ball...yeah... and it also thinks it's okay to allow these other guys to get away with murder by sliding my players from behind and destroying me, with no card or foul given.

I don't really get angry at games ever, with the sole exception of football games. Put me in front of FIFA or Pro Evo and I just rage like someones smacked me in the dick with a flail.

Oh, and thats proper football, not armoured rugby.

Oh, and thats armoured with a "u".

Hey America!

Same here, fucking hate playing online... There are many cheaters in FIFA and many addicts in Pro Evolution. How I who still play on normal can stand a chance?

Captcha: Shoulder of Orion... I guess that Orion is a Handegg fan.

No amount of screaming "That was a fucking foul!" works. Someone's really got to intergrate that into Kinect, then I can get sent off for calling the ref a pie eating twat.

Binding of Isaac, trying to finish Sheol as Eve.
Fuck that shit, yo.

Oh God. Is that even possible? That little dead bird of hers must be useless at that point.

Just checked the over-all Steam achievements. Turns out only 6.1% of people have done it.
I think if I could just get a Brimstone or Mom's knife before the depths I could do it, but no, Eve gets all the shit drops and no Devil rooms.

God damn Edmund McMillen games, he makes them fucking IMPOSSIBLE on purpose because he sustains himself on the tears of gamers.

 

[Racecarlock]

Mafia II.

I have, on my shelf, right now, a game where you're an evil virus-man who can shapeshift (Prototype), a game where I own an amusement park (Thrillville off the rails), a game where I'm a cowboy in the old west (Red Dead Redemption), a game where I'm a european immigrant with a magical cheat code cell phone (GTA IV), a game where I'm a hispanic secret agent with a magical grappling hook and an infinity of parachutes (Just Cause 2), a game where I'm a professional race car driver (Grid), a game where I'm a demolitions master on mars (Red Faction Guerilla), a game where I'm the incredible hulk and I can free roam around small dusty towns and big cities and fight robots and destroy as much as I want while the game still perceives me as a good guy (Hulk Ultimate Destruction), a game where I have the magical ability to posses anyone driving a car and then crash it or ramp it over seven trucks and then crash it (Driver San Francisco) a game where I'm in a medieval land and I'm a man who is infused with the blood and voice of the dragons (Skyrim), and a game where I kill aliens by whacking them in the face and I'm a green-armored super soldier (Halo 3).

All of those games, plus every one listed above me, have some element of fantasy to them. Hell, even grid lets me get behind the wheel of an F1 car. Mafia II just gives me a generic handsome protagonist, then it makes me clean prison toilets, chaperone drunk people with my radio hijacked (I think that's happened twice), sneak through the sewer and then have the game tell me I smell like shit, be a cigarette inventory boy, has me wait in traffic, and you know what the best part of the game is? The generic cover based shoot outs that were done way better in gears of war and even GTA IV.

The waiting in traffic? It takes up at least 80% of the game. I'm serious, most of the game is waiting in traffic. It's about as exciting as watching paint dry. This only made it worse when I had to clean prison toilets. I'm basically waiting in traffic to either engage in generic shoot outs or do chores. I'm also pretty sure that another 10% of the game is boring, talky cinematics, and sometimes while I was driving the game would put me on autopilot without even letting me know it was a cutscene. And it's not even satisfying killing the enemies. Killing was done way better in every other game that does killing. This game feels like work, so I might as well just get an office job.

 

[IlikeLolis]

Personally I'm right pissed at F:New Vegas. (Yes I'm still playing it)

I find it hard to pick it up when I know something is gonna make me throw the controller. Last time I played I Corrupted a quest somehow and now the NCR is shooting at me for something I didn't do(I'd like to see you pass a speech test when they fire steaming hot bullets fresh out of the oven)

Also, to the op;

Raccoon City isn't a bad game, nor is it a really frustrating game. The bots are bad to motivate players to play online which can be a really enjoyable experience when paired with smart teammates, the cover is imperfect to show realistically you cannot dodge all the bullets(Likewise for your foes), and as far as multiplayer zombie games go it has a much higher Grade in my book than both Left 4 Dead and Dead Island.

 

[Jinxzy]

L4D2 -Playing alone is fine but the multiplayer is just god awful. It takes the whole survive as a team and throws it out the window.

Then again L4D in general is the only game that makes me angry. All because of the multi-player. People just seem stupid when it comes to working with a team unless they know each other. You always get that one person that thinks there BA and runs off and dies. Jeeze you need to work as a team not "I'm The Best, Lololololo!!!" Why even play a team base survival game if you don't work together?

There's no I in team....but there are idiots.

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

Half-life 2, i found it really frustrating which was amplified by the fact that the non-frustrating parts were pretty damn good but i couldn't get to them because of the frustrating parts. There was also a lot of general bullshit in that game, like one time, at the part where you fight the gunship on the lighthouse, the RPG chased the thing around, to no avail, for like 2-3 minutes and i was powerless to do anything but watch them go around and round and round. I could've gone and had a drink and a snack while that those thing did laps around the lighthouse.

EDIT:

Dead Rising 2

ARGH! Fuck that game!

 

[Latenz1134]

Football Manager 2012, although it doesn't seem like the kind of game one flips shit at, it genuinely makes me want to murder every single player on my team. How can you beat Dortmund 6-2 away, then lose to a f---ing second division team at home!?!?!? RAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!

 

[Rooster893]

Sonic Generations has recently rustled my jimmies. Crisis City in particular.

That damn tornado...

 

[Shrapenel92]

Most online shooters, don't get me wrong - I love them, I've just got out from a 4 hour TF2 session. But when the other team is full of spies, or I just can't seem to get any kills/maintain a positive K/D, I go all angry German kid, quite pathetic really

 

[Malty Milk Whistle]

Team Fortress 2.

WHOSE IDEA WAS IT FOR RANDOM CRITICAL HITS?

Urgh agreed... though it can be fun Kritz'ing a soldier who spams rockets the second the doors open.

Binding of Isaac, trying to finish Sheol as Eve.
Fuck that shit, yo.

Oh God. Is that even possible? That little dead bird of hers must be useless at that point.

I think if I could just get a Brimstone or Mom's knife before the depths I could do it, but no, Eve gets all the shit drops and no Devil rooms.

With Eve, I think I managed three floors.

I'm not very good at the game. I beat it once, because I was playing Magdalene and managed to acquire 16 hearts. I walked in at full health, panicked, and won with half a heart left.

To be honest, Isaac seems like a game that's hard to be "Good" at. So much of it is based on luck of the draw and pattern recognition. Some runs, I may go Isaac and kill the final boss without taking a single hit because I'm so ridiculously OP, others, I may go Eve and genuinely die of Basement 2.


Getting the "Depths Boy" type achievements will not be fun.

"Depths... Boy"...?

Oh God. I'm afraid to ask for clarification.

Finish the Caves?Depths/Womb/Sheol (I think) without taking damage.
Have fun!

Are you thinking of the achievement "Depths Boy" or "Dark Boy"?
I just looked it up cause I was wondering and this is what I got:

"Basement Boy" - Basement 1/2 w/out damage
"Splunker Boy" - Caves 1/2 w/out damage
"Dark Boy" - Depths 1/2 w/out damage
"Mamas Boy" Womb 1/2 w/out damage
(These can all be completed on separate runs, but both floors of each area must be completed without taking damage.)

Unless there is some secret achievement that I didn't get I don't think there is any "Depths Boy" (I could be wrong though... idk)
----------------------------------------
Back on Topic:

I would have to say that any puzzle (Spacechem, RUSH, etc.) game that I can't figure out will generally make me angry. If its an RPG that I can grind and the game is making me angry I can just blame the game and grind it out..., but if I can not figure out a puzzle in a game usually I get angry at myself and that usually gets to me more. (I'm no slouch when it comes to puzzles either, but I still have to beat the second to last level of the Space station in Space Chem.)

 

[Evil Alpaca]

World Of Warcraft

I played on a PvP server, thinking it would be fun to fight Horde players my level as we came across each other in the world. Then along comes Cataclysm. Now, God forbid you as a lowly lvl 23 set foot outside one of the safe zones. I swear the sky was full of max level horde just waiting for any lowbie to show their face. Its really bad when one of those players is a hunter. You can't hide and since they are on a flying mount, you cant run either.

This was especially annoying since many of the high level zones were near much lower level. Highlands were next to Wetlands, Uldum next to Tanaris, Hyjal next to Winterspring. This meant, that you couldn't quest in those zones because you were guaranteed to get spawn camped.

Yeah, that was it. Depths, Dark, same diff.

 

[Grunt_Man11]

Jak 2... the one game I almost broke my tv over. Great story but the missions are extremly hard for the 2nd half of the game.

Ugh... that game ticked me off so much I actually did stop playing it.

I'm all for a challenge, but Jak 2 just takes it way too far. I can only see the words, "Mission Failed! Try again," so many times before I consider it just not worth it anymore.
Never bothered with Jak 3 or any other Jak and Daxter game.

Another was Shinobi for the PS2. Ended up a my hate list for the same reasons as with Jak 2, in addition to the just plain awful design decisions. Here's something to remember game developers.
If you make a level where the player has to descend down a pit to find a tunnel near the bottom, but make so that reaching the bottom kills the player, make sure the camera can look down!

God of War ticked me off too. When I got to the "kill a ton of centaurs in a tiny circle" puzzle is when I called it quits and put the game on the hate list. Flash all the bare bouncing breasts you want at me but if your game mechanics piss me off, then I'll shelve the game and only take it off the shelve in order to pawn it.

Most recently I got into the beta for a game called Brick Force. That game isn't getting played again till they fix the sniper problem!
A sniper rifle is meant to be carefully aimed and used to make skillful head shots with. It's not meant to be a point and kill auto-win button! One-shot kills should be a reward for landing a proper, and difficult to get, head shot. They shouldn't be an automatic trait of a weapon. If you put a gun in a game that can kill a player in one-shot regardless of where they are shot, then you've failed as a game designer.

 

[gigastar]

Probably Dark Souls but that's only because I can never seem to beat the Four Kings.

Spoiler: Theres an easy way around that...

Theres an easy way around that...

Sunbro's unite!

When people say "Anor Londo Snipers" You mean the knights with the dragonslayer bows right? I never had problem with them or anything in Anor Londo, so I can't really relate

Well, when you get hit by thier arrows they cause a rediculous ammount of knockback even on block. Given that youre walking across narrow walkways where getting touched means instant death by fall damage, its one part people really dont like having to go through more times than is nessesary.

 

[Razoack]

Super. Meat. Boy.


FUCK THAT GAME, FUCK THE DARK WORLDS.


Edit: Also, The Impossible Game. It's such a simple premise and i can't fucking complete it!

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 online.

I have never seen such inconsistent, awful frustrating lag in my life. The game is so fast-paced and so unforgiving of errors that having ANY amount of lag whatsoever turns it from an amazing game to the most frustrating bullshit experience of my gaming life.

People know there's lag too, and build their teams to abuse it as much as possible. Projectile assist and teleport spam, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I hate you, I really really do.

 

[gigastar]

I think Asura's Wrath. I know it's incredibly unfair to say a game shouldn't exist, but the fact that there are actually people who would want to buy that piece of shit angers me.

Even though i enjoyed Asura's Wrath i sometimes wonder why it wasnt sold as an anime instead.
