Games that genuinely make you angry.

[redisforever]

The original Max Payne.

I played it recently, and it is one of the most uninteresting and patronizing experiences I've had in games thus far. It makes me feel angry that it was considered to have a "great story" or "fantastic characters." (quoted from a friend of mine who hadn't played it in almost a decade, he agreed after playing it again)

I actually started playing it just a few days ago, in preparation for Max Payne 3. I have to say, I'm enjoying it. I do like the characters, and I'm enjoying the story as well. My only real complaint was that it's sometimes unclear what I have to do.

Anyone who's noticed my kind of recent tirades on how great the Persona series is will find this shocking, but Persona 3: The Answer

Sure it isn't a full fledged game but it does make me the angriest, never even finished it I got so pissed off. The AI is so unbelievably bad that I am convinced that they were trying to get me killed, and you can't turn it off of hard mode? Ugh, got past I think the second boss before I just said fuck it and booted up some soothing Kirby

Edit: Again, this isn't a game but MY RAGE WILL BE HEARD:Xenoblade Chronicles: Super Narrow Path + Mechonis with knockback + a game that is centered around maneuvering around to flank enemies = FUCK YOU LEVEL DESIGNERS

Any level on a Call of Duty campaign that kills you in the very last cut scene. Especially after hours of grinding on veteran.

Make it on the helicopter and fly to safety. FUCK YOU, GET FUCKING NUKED

Massacre a bunch of Russians at an airport, then make it to the gettaway car. FUCK YOU, get shot in the face.

Secure valuable intel from a house in the woods and make it to the helicopter in the LZ. FUCK YOU, get shot in gut and burned.

I don't care if they were all key plot points in a shitty plot to begin with, all that work to get a huge dick in your face. I give the nuke level leniency for actually being part of a decent plot, but still, all that work for nothing.

Anything with other players, where i rely on said players to achieve something. It wants me to say bad words and do terrible things to the before mentioned players.

[Klaflefalumpf]

We made it this far without anybody mentioning Skate? Good grief that game can drive me into horrifying fits of pure rage. If only I had the sense to just put down the damned controller!

Oh and SSX. All incarnations... basically anything with a board involved.

 

[OldNewNewOld]

Team Fortress 2.

WHOSE IDEA WAS IT FOR RANDOM CRITICAL HITS?

I realized it's not really random.
If I'm on the receiving end, it's a critical, if I'm the one who is shooting, it's not a critical. Simple.

But seriously, my longest life with a soldier was 33 minutes and I had only 2 critical rockets. My brother had a replay saved on his account and we counter 2 fucking rockets in 33 minutes.

But every time a rocket was flying towards me, it was a critical one.

And yes, this means I HATE the random criticals.

I'm in a love/hate relationship with TF2.

 

[lacktheknack]

Fire Emblem.... Just fucking Fire Emblem!!

Trying to play through a whole campaign without loosing a single character just takes so much..... anger to contain.....

ARGGGGGGGGGGGg

Try The Shining Force. It's Fire Emblem, but with harder battles and the ability to resurrect dead people.

 

[llew]

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.

really? i found that game easy, fun, but easy...
OT: Devil may cry 2... never played it before the HD remake, am never playing it again if i have anything to say about it

 

[Adeptus Aspartem]

I forgot one.. the endboss of Smashbro's Brawl.

He's a ****. There's no sweet talkin'. Beat 'em up game bosses are just designed to punch the screen.

Captcha: start from scratch.
Yessir!

 

[drzoidbergmd]

Homefront. Gameplay is perfectly fine if a bit slapdash, but the more and more I heard the story I just wanted to deafen myself...and emigrate.

 

[pure.Wasted]

ME3 multiplayer, full stop.

I don't know which asshole thought it would be such a great idea to make you get zero points for an incomplete match/disconnect, and then make matches take over half an hour to complete. The wifi signal in my living room isn't the best, so I get random DCs all the time.

Of the first three matches I played (not counting the first, cause we got rolled) I DCed out of every single one, one of them with something like 30 seconds left on the clock. Zero rewards for the time spent playing.

Yeah, you know that's never getting picked up again.

 

[A BigCup of Tea]

Borderlands has me pretty pissed off right now.

For the Secret Armory of General Knoxx DLC, after you defeat Knoxx, you blow up the armory, right? So you walk in, and you're standing on an elevator. There are three buttons to press. You are not told which button to press.

I press the left-most button. The bomb becomes active. I press the middle button. The elevator takes me down into the armory.

Oh, that one on the right? Yeah, that's the one that actually ends the quest, and if you don't press it before lowering the elevator, you're screwed and can never complete that quest or the two subsequent quests breaking back into the armory.

Apparently the only way to get around it is to find someone online who just happens to be at the end of the Knoxx quest and piggyback your way into the armory.

But, for the most part, I don't get angry at games. For instance, I recently played Deus Ex (the original) for the first time, and I really didn't like the gameplay. So I just turned God mode on. *shrug* I was only there for the story, anyway.

Thanks i was just about to start the dlc, so press the right button before pressing any of the others?

Seth - Street Fighter IV
Wolf - Super Smash Bros. Brawl (F'ing blaster spam)
Kai Leng - Mass Effect 3 (Cheap)
Banshees - Mass Effect 3 (SP and MP)
Snipers - Any FPS game. Shooting someone in the leg shouldn't mean instant death...

He said games, not subjects.

I'm well aware.

demon souls

total war shogun 2 (seriously F that game)

world of warcraft playing arenas against a druid/hunter that lasted for two hours.

Yeah I really didn't like Shogun so I went back to playing Empire and Napoleon with Darthmod.

 

[dancinginfernal]

The Metal Gear Solid games seriously piss me off sometimes. Soldiers spotting you at ridiculous angles, people seemingly appearing out of mid air, being certain you tranq'd a guy in the head (I checked, the needle was there!) and setting off an alert.

I love the series, but damn is it infuriating at times.

 

[IamLEAM1983]

Add the Total War series in its entirety. Especially Empire: Total War. An Excel spreadsheet would be more fun, lenient and engaging. I lose matches and I have no fucking idea why, I WIN and I have no fucking idea why.

It's like Creative Assembly's core devs look at quarterly reports and other math-heavy documents where others might look at porn, once the curtains are drawn.

Just, seriously - F this series. I'm aware several people enjoy it, I'm just not one of them.

modern warfare 2, the whole "no russian" guff offended me very literally, when playing it at a friends, i can put my actions in a simple list:

1. start mission,.
2. makarov starts genocide
3. turn off game
4. walk home
5. drink 2 bottles of WKD and go to bed early....06:40M

IT OFFENDED ME THAT ***ING BADLY.

Indeed, someone drinking WKD is ludicrously offensi- ...Oh. Why did that offend you, exactly?

because civilians are being massacred, in a game, no less. which are supposed to be fun. you are expected to join makarov and his pals in tearing up an airport, and then killing a ton of police. and to what end!? there is no need AT ALL for this to exist!

Quite the opposite. I know it's common to rally against "cheap shock", but that airport massacre is PIVOTAL to the story (literaly, most the rest of the series hinges on the consequences of that action), and I for one didn't mind getting a front seat to an event that triggered WWIII. Gave me a better perspective than a narrator would. The old maxim: show, don't tell.

Uh... apart from the great explanation of the "end" already offered by Iwata, what in the world makes you think that sequence was supposed to be fun?

So when you go to the movies to watch Schindler's List, you come out 15 minutes in because all these Jews getting killed isn't fun enough for you?

My god, do you realize what you've done? You've got me defending a Call of Duty game. How dare you?!

Kai Leng - Mass Effect 3 (Cheap)

But you can just play vanguard and non-stop Nova > Charge him in the face D:

and if he tries to hit you just roll back
