Games that genuinely make you angry.

[Mister K]

New Twisted Metal, Dollface juggernaught mission. I can't complete it. It is too damn hard.

SNIP

I was already 3/4 the way through, and all my points were in low-tech weapons, computers, electronics, and lockpicking. Not the mix you want at the end game.

Sure it is - you can knock out just about any non-mech from behind and for anyone else you can use the dragon's tooth. Just use thermal camo and bob's your auntie.

Wait, you were playing stealth, right?

Superman 64. Because I love Superman and I did NOTHING to deserve this.

Also, Battletoads. Because I like difficulty but jesus god, there is a limit to what thumbs are capable of!. I actually liked Demon/Dark Souls, if just for the one time when i watched a ghost go flying back, wondering how they died so dynamically and rounding a corner to find a stack of gunpowder and a maniac with a torch..

Mario kart. Just because of the AIs. The game is fine, but the AIs are so douchey, it hurts my mind. WHY THROW THAT SHELL? I WAS ABOUT TO WIN, YOU ASSCLOWN!

I really hate Mario Kart Wii, the AI is so broken its not funny. I remember trying to win the races and being bombarded with blue and red shells, bullet bills, bloopers and POW blocks its not funny. It really is not fun trying to win against all that.

Its a shame, Mario Kart used to be good fun but went downhill more or less after Double Dash and that wasn't great either.

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.

The bugs in that game are amusing...when its not happening to you. I play Fifa 12 regularly with a friend and we take turns in being hated and screwed over by the game. What really grinds my gears is when you do a soft tackle in the penalty area getting the ball, my friends player stumbles a tiny little bit - penalty!

Thankfully taking a penalty in that game is retarded.

Also, another thing that bugs me. There is no skill in beating the keeper, you just take a low shot and the keeper, no matter who you have in goal, will flap at it pathetically. There is nothing more frustrating than being smashed 8-0 because the keeper refuses to make the simplest of saves.

Final Fantasy, from 2 onwards. You don't call a game Final Fantasy if you plan to make a million sequels, that's just stupid.

Snipers - Any FPS game. Shooting someone in the leg shouldn't mean instant death...

Did you ever play the first Modern Warfare? You know what happens to Zakhaev, when you shoot him in the arm? Yeah, that really happens with .50 cal sniper rounds. Shoot someone in the knee and they can kiss goodbye to most of their leg, and that's a lot of blood loss. At least, that's what I draw from it.

Re: Dead Rising 2.

I'm with you guys, but that's kind of the point of the game. Once you climb the damn steep slope you get to play around all you want. So, replayability at the expense of annoying the hell out of first time players? Yeah, that's pretty much it.

 

[kickyourass]

So far only Too Human is the only game that makes me legitimately angry, I mean the first hour or so is actually pretty nice, it has an interesting control scheme and I like the idea of Cybernetic Viking Gods. But than all the horribleness starts creeping into your attention, the atrocious healing system (you can't store healing items, they only drop in significant numbers when you don't barely need them, and the only class that can heal itself heals at a rate that would make glacial shifts look hypersonic) and the associated death sequence, the embarrassingly useless ranged weapons, the teeth scrapping slow movement speed and a plot that is too thinly spread to offer even an ounce of engagement. It makes me really angry mostly because that first bit works so nicely that it feels like some filthy lie once you get further into it!

Or the fact that the demo was a quarter of the game. The story???? There was a story? There were conversations but nothing I would consider a story.

That game made me more mad at myself because I was super excited for the game, got several other friends to preorder it and play it with me, and then the major disappointment made me look like an idiot for not only paying full price but for also duping my friends into buying it too.

Ohh yeah there was story, it's just extremely dull, and they spread it out so much that in the time it took for me to get to one 'story' cutscene, I'd barely remember what happened in the last one because nothing even slightly memorable happens.

I was playing stealth until I got bored, turned on god mode, and massacred everybody. ;-)

Dead Rising 2: Sells on being Sandbox...has a mission timer that effects your fun. Bleh

Also Dark Souls. Was it me but I doubt the epic hero in a quest can roll faster, take more damage and kill faster then most of that sh*t in Dark Souls. Also I guess you ain't a epic hero, also the respawning monsters when you rest...that don't happen in real life or any other game...other then demon souls. X_X

DA2: For it's no Dual Wielding warrior class...I wanted it, it made DA:O fun for me.

Deus Ex HR: Bosses...thats enough to make me angry. >_<

Mass Effect 3: Ending enough said. -_-

Minecraft:....sssssssss *BOOM* then goes my fort. AAAAAARG!!!

That's the most points for now.

 

[JWRosser]

I quite enjoy hearing how angry my housemate gets at Soul Calibur. Same with any fighting game I think - a high level AI can read your input commands and thus knows exactly what you're going to do, and when to avoid/counter it.

Bob Page was more right than he knew in that intro...

Edit: The opening sequence got my inner history nerd in a twist. If its 933AD, Heinrich would NOT, I repeat NOT be wearing Gothic plate. Hadn't the art guys ever seen a picture of the Bayeux Tapestry? That's a hundred years in the future, but it'd give them an idea of what a well equipped knight would look like in that time period. Not wearing armour that hadn't been invented yet.

Oh, and the super secret rocket plane? Of the 2 really cool jet designs they had designed as scenery they chose this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachem_Ba_349]. That thing was not some super advanced rocket fighter, it was literally a rocket with a man strapped to it,a substitute for SAM's because of problems getting guidance systems working. It's job was to zoom up, unleash its payload and parachute down. The Me163 would have been a better choice for a fighter, though neither would have the fuel to get to Malta.....it's like they didn't do their research or something!

Rule of cool, man. I love history as well, but I cut the Wolfenstein games a lot of slack, because they're meant to show the nazis as insane, not practical. In a game with magicaly ressuscitated death knights with swastika symbols on their shields, there are worse things to nitpick if you're going to complain about historical accuracy.

Yeah I know, but my biggest problem with the planes is that there were cooler jets to steal at that airbase! I thought I'd be nicking that big one that was sitting out on the tarmac, not some dinky little rocket plane!

Well, look at it like this: maybe the Natter was ready to go and only needed a flick of a switch, while the bomber would probably need a ground AND flight crew to get in the air!

Also, I love your avatar. I miss that Dune game, but every time I see that guy I'm reminded of Londo Molari.

Fifa 12 has made me flip my shit more times than I can count. I like it but fuck, it pisses me off.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Alone in The Dark on the Xbox 360. Just...everything about that game makes me angrie than shit.
Also, the singleplayer of the new Twisted Metal. Multiplayer is cool though.
