Metroid Other M. Misogynism to the ninth degree and ruined all subsequent Nintendo games here after.

Just watching the game for 10 minutes makes you want to burn down an orphanage.
I think the game needs an award for the most unlikeable characters ever.
Also, Street Fighter 4's boss Seth. Even on VERY EASY he drops you in less than 10 seconds. Its the most absurdly broken difficulty setting I've ever seen in a video game ever.

100 rogues. Forgetting the ridiculous cash grab of them charging 1.00 per new playable class so that you can have a little more variety other than the current grand total of 2, the controls are iffy, there are a ridiculous amount of bugs they haven't fixed in favor of making more buy-able characters, ranged fighting is boiled down to hoping you pressed the right sliver of pixels, and its just plain frustrating. Although that last one is inherent with rogue-likes, so i'll give that one point a pass.
Only two games ever made me actually angry:
Freelancer- I wanted Starlancer 2. Instead I got an overrated "sequel" that takes a gigantic dump on its brilliant predecessor. This game was probably the biggest, most crushing letdown of my gaming career.
Bayonetta- I was promised awesomeness. Instead, I got a game with interesting gameplay, and hideous everything else.
And what's behind all the hate for Asura's Wrath? I ask sincerely, since I don't know much about the game.

There haven't really been any games as a whole that make me angry (typically because if it does happen, I stop playing it and forget it ever existed), but there's certainly things in games that make me angry. The most recent example I can think of would be from Dragon Age: Origins.
I was doing a side-quest in Denerim's Elven Alienage to help out a blind templar, and we went into a haunted orphanage. Well, my first time through there he dies after the first pack of dogs run up and I fail the quest. So I reload the autosave, protect him this time, get to the first advancement of the quest, move a few rooms further and he dies again because he didn't regenerate any health after the last combat encounter, so I fail the quest. I reload the quicksave, let him regenerate this time, get to the cut-scene and kill the penultimate boss of the quest, then it brings up another cut-scene and what happens? The templar gets killed anyway.
That pisses me off.

I actually really like that mechanic. it emphasizes aggressive play, because the more you are fighting, the more chance you get of crits showing up.TheYellowCellPhone said:
Frustration wise, I think left 4 dead 2 has always been a frustrating game - certainly a good game too of course.
But those moments when it's the AI or one simple mistake that fucks everything over, it can be damn frustrating - not to mention when playing versus, and the damage you deal - no matter how much it is, never seems to count for anything because 9/10 times they'll just heal up and continue on their way, and it makes the whole thing seem pointless.
It's probably the angriest any one game has made me, but it's still good, despite it's tenancy to make ones self rage-quit more often than not.

I love Street Fighter, but sometimes it makes me want to break my controller in half and scream at something.
Games that make me mad because they're awful? Dante's Inferno. Partially because they had a brilliant oppurtunity to make something amazing and they blew it big time, and second because it's just absolutely stupid in every meaning of the word. Perhaps it's because I hold Dante Alighieri in high regards (he's a pretty cool dude, believe it or not), but seriously, I can't wrap my mind around how anyone could do something so stupid!
Oh, and then I saw this:

I... I need to lie down for a minute or two. I simply can't handle this.

Exactly. Black and White 2 is more of a third installment than a sequel, yet they claim that a time lapse constitutes a sequel. Also, including a NationalDex into Gen 5 from the get go kind of undermines the whole point of the previous versions. Also, in Crystal/Emerald/Platinum the Pokedex had a combination of new and older Pokemon in the mix; Black and White was suppose to be 150+ exclusives, at least until you complete the main story.SirBryghtside said:
For Golden Sun, did you mean Lost Age or Dark Dawn?DigitalAtlas said:
Lost Age was like Golden Sun Part 2, as it continues and makes connections to it's previous title while exploring a completely new area, gaining new and old abilities, and continuing the story while providing a lot of extra dialogue to make the game it's own.
Dark Dawn is like a sequel, as it follows the events that took place in the previous game. Also, it includes many new characters and elements, many of which reference the previous games.
In terms of Megaman X6, yes, it is probably the most difficult game in the X series (at almost Megaman Zero difficulty).
Oh but the sweet sweet joy you will feel when you get all the items. Its quite miraculous. Also the Fetus in a Jar powerup snaps the game in half. If you get that in the first or second level, be careful and you will basically be guaranteed victory.hazabaza1 said:
OT: Tribes Ascend as an infiltrator. Dying to so many random thumper shots, or a single stray bullet that breaks my stealth so that hundreds of turrets turn me into confetti. So much anger...so much rage..
