I <3 Gta 4 but it just pi***es me off.
I've never really raged at a game but if anything a level in Sonic the Hedgehog 2006
Playing as Silver I got stuck for a few days trying to solve a single level. It ended up using a game mechanic that hadn't been explained by the game and I worked it out via chance. I hate playing as Silver anyway, it's awkward and badly designed.
I like the game but that level was ridiculously annoying.
Oh another one is a level of the PS2 game 'Dr Muto'. I remember one level when I had to jump several gaps in a net I was hanging from. The timing was iffy due to me having to jump off the edge that makes you swing. I tried that level a good 30 times. I still haven't completed the entire game, but I will beat it as soon as I get my PS2 up and running.

First time I ever remember raging hard was Perfect Dark on the N64. Some of the stealth levels were far too demanding for my mind at the time.
You're doing it wrongDa Orky Man said:
I took the bad boy apart production line style - a cloaked fighter squad appears, 5/6 ion frigates took off in pursuit....at a certain point a dozen or so salvage corvettes pounce and drag to a nearby carrier
Makes the asteroid mission that follows far too easy
....Me, terror from the deep
The difficulty settings making very easy god damn impossible IN ERROR unknown to me level 0 the baby level was actually superhuman god like level....and even if you battled through and say forgot to capture a live...think it was deep one...game over man, game over
That was at the tender age of about 13 if that....and I guess just not being able to do the penultimate mission of privateer for about 13 years - I came back when older and wiser and smoked that one....
I think it was Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction, a 2001 PS2 game. I'd built a good robot with titanium armour etc., and suddenly my robot dies on the very first hit. And while playing on one level on the top of a Japanese skyscraper the house robots wigged out, and suddenly dogpiled me.
There are also random events such as battery failure, which can happen even in brand new batteries. If you dare purchase some armour that's a kilo too heavy, you get a minute-long lecture about how to reduce weight. She cannot be skipped, muted, or turned off. You must listen, because obviously you don't have a clue what you are doing.
Also had a tendency to crash a lot. But evidently, I was once much more patient than I am now. Or maybe I just liked the show a lot.

That would probably have to be Donkey Kong Country 2.
Trying to find all 40 DK coins was just awful (and this was before Gamefaqs, mind you)
And those bramble levels....ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

Street Fighter 2. Almost every single godforsaken fighting game since then has been a big pile of controller-breaking RAGEQUIT!!!!!!!! To me at least. (and yes I'll fully admit i suck at it but it still frustrates me to death)

Probotector on NES
Because you needed to do fingeracrobatics just to dodge the trazillion of one-shot=life lost bullets. And if you managed to jump and dodge bullets, you inevatibly landed on a bad guy. And died.

That game is freaking evil....EVIL!Larva said:
And yes you are a god if you can beat that game...I only did it with cheats and save states...and THAT was hard!
I can't really remember my fist game rage...a NES game probably...but I was more patient back then...
wait........SUPER MONKEYBALL (1 or 2), that story mode ARGGG!!
That. Those little "Na na na-na na!" blue guys drove me absolutely insane. At times I would put the controller down, take a deep breath, scream into my pillow, then keep trying. Every time I'd try to cut them off they'd switch it up!Metropocalypse said:
Also, Crash Bandicoot Warped. The fight with N. Gin took me forever. I almost cried I was so mad. I remember those days well.
Edit'd for grammatical errors
I'm not entirely sure, but the "shooting dark ones coming from the ocean with the cannon"-part of Jak 3 was fuckin' frustrating when I was a young boy. Also, the fact that those games had you redo an entire mission if you died.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth 2, Rise of the Witch King.
"Quickly, find the Palantir pieces before the Men of Arnor do!"
Okay, I'll just get these 3 pieces, and now Arnor have the other three.
Build up army, CHAAAAARGE!
What the hell, that fortress is impenetrable!
And now the fucking men of Arnor are using their unlimited knights on my base, and I can't defend it!
*rage quit*
