I'll raise you one - I tortured myself through that shitpile excuse for a game, absolutely hating every single moment of atrocious writing, boring bland design and bad controls.Archaon6044 said:
That should be enough for me to say STG, right? Noooo, I *HAD* to borrow it at the local library four months later, just because A. I wanted to see if there actually were any redeeming features I had missed and B. It was a dirt cheap fee for a one week rental.
I TRIED to see every point of view there was, I even fought and won 34 out of 44 achievements INCLUDING "Test of Faith" - the majority I'm missing are the Beat Levels In Par Times. Gave up on that after doing a close to perfect run on stage 1 and beating par with 4 seconds. That was after thirty failed tries. I did and beat some of those absolutely unforgiving time trials, I discovered the hidden moves and shortcuts and basically did everything anyone can be expected to do to find a smidgeon of enjoyment.
It. Is. Simply. Not. There.
I still hate Mirror's Edge, and even MORE now when I know EXACTLY how shallow and limited it is. Free-roaming city, my ass. It has about as many usable alternate routes as your average 16-bit platformer. Sure, you CAN go another way, but there are dead-ends everywhere.
I am now in a position to say it with finality and whimless insight: SCREW THAT GAME.
(I say the same about the almost equally lousy Assassin's Creed - but that opinion is far more common.)
Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero?
Well... just play the game and face the final boss. Then realize how ridiculously hard he is to beat.

I would say after the Peach Wilkins fight in BioShock. It's a good game, but I was so pissed that I spent all my money on special ammo I bought for the fight, which I didn't get to use. After the fight, I found out I lost all the special ammo, and on a clip or two of regular ammo for every gun, I got pissed and deleted my save. I didn't play it for about 19 or so months. I just now picked it back up, and saved all my cash this time after the fight.
On a side note, does that douchebaggery happen again in the game?

yeah, save points at extremely long intervals are a stupid, pointless and extremely frustrating game idea.
i've got a few:
legend of zelda. loved the game, but about 70-80% of the way through the game my wii broke. had it fixed but there was no way i was going through all that again.
no more heroes. unlocked the secret ending but accidentally saved over my game after choosing normal ending. meaning i had to go through the whole thing again. screw that!
rogue galaxy. awesome awesome game, but for the life of me i couldn't beat the final boss. i didnt have much time to try as i was going away, but when i got back (3 months later) i thought screw that.
pop3. accidentally left myself with no sands going into the last chariot section. as if those sections weren't crap enough already i had to complete it without any mistakes, which meant learning the ENTIRE course. only knowing that this was the final 5% out of 3 games did i bother to complete it. i needed closure in the story!!

Mass Effect.
Not because it was a bad game per-say, but because I really really hated it. Wandering around those bases pissed me off no end.
I gave it to a friend and I watched him play it, he ignored most of the side quest and I actually found it more entertaining to watch.

EA Sports games cheat.
Madden 07 in particular
There is NO way that Seneca Wallace ( Seattle Seahwaks BACKUP Quaterback ) Can run 90 yards and break 13 ( yes i watched the replay and counted them ( Brian Urlacher had 2 attempts, TWO???)) tackles.

Oh man there is so many. I am a very angry gamer but usually i will try and push through eventually. A couple games that got to me recently was Shellshock 2 and Bourne Conspiracy. Well Bourne is easy since Ijust couldn't take the crappiness that is. I died a few times and just quit. Shellshock on the other hand I was kinda enjoying. I was playing it on hard and got to mission 8 when I reached a CP and right after got into a QTE. Shellshock has some poor QTEs that involve some guy in your face and 4 or 5 button prompts appear at the top. And then it will happen 2 or 3 more times. There is no indication if you are hitting them or not (unless you miss then you die). And I died alot during this one. To the point where I spent an hour redoing the same scene knowing I was hitting the right buttons (which are random) but still dieing (I figure there is a time limit). I quit and have never touched it since.
haha I have SO MANY of these moments, because I rent games more than I buy them, most of the time it's like wtf at this, screw this game *sends it back*
actually, I bought Soul Calibur 4, played it a couple times then thought WTF IS THIS BULLSHIT and haven't played it since ahaha. It's just terrible compared to 3 >_>

X-Com: UFO Defense.
I absolutely suck at it. The first time in any new game where a Terror Attack occurs, i always end up screwing up, everyone always ends up dying, and the countries always ends up giving me less money, which means more restrictions, less awesome gear, less killing power in the next Terror Attack, less money...
And God forbid you ignore a Terror Attack. That really does rile up the money-givers!
Also, I just remembered Advance Wars: Dark Conflict. I'm stuck on one mission where the AI is an absolute beast. No, you can't use rockets and mortars. That's cheating. I don't know how, but it is. Stop it.

Yes. Deadrising. It was just so boring. Killing zombies is fun. Why the hell did they need to add a retarded storyline? And force me to play through it to unlock more sections of the mall?
And the difficulty is like running into a brick wall. It takes so long to get the points for leveling up that i gave up after 4 separate occasions trying to get into it. The concept was great. The shit they added to it ruined it.

blue dragon. wasnt that good to begin with but i decided to keep going. i played for an hour without seeing a save spot. then the game froze. i havent touched it since. and i was only about 3 hrs into the game
Played COD 5 online for the first time. Shot some people, did quite well, 8 man kill streak, but then I got 4 messages from a "clan" saying they'd had enough of me being a noob, and all four of them targetted me specifically throughout the progression of the game until I quit.

Actually, I had that moment with the first Halo. I bought it because everyone raved about it. After the third time that I started from a checkpoint and couldn't figure out which way to go because all the rooms looked alike and all the enemies had respawned I said "No amount of awesome physics is worth this" and gave it to a friend of mine.
I liked Halo 3, though.

Final Fantasy 12. I forget where exactly it is some temple in some frozen tundra area. There's a room you have to go into where there are these three dragon-like monsters stomping around and there is no way to avoid them since you have to kill them to unlock the next door. Have died probably 50 times in that room with varying tactics. Can't be bothered to grind level ups till kindgom come to just see the next story sequence.
