The last time a game made you rage.

Gears of War 3, Myrrah on Insane. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUU!!!!!

Insane mode is best played with a friend or three. Although, even with super reload and infinite ammo, it took me and my friends the better part of an hour to actually beat that level. Was not fun.

Just a few hours ago, actually, in Skyrim. I hate that insta-kill move dragons have by grabbing and tossing you to the ground. I'd been running around without saving for a few hours and came upon a dragon, and it killed me before I could even draw a sword.

I had a dragon do that to me once. It really pissed me off because it was down to its last few points of health and I was just about to deal the killing blow when it zooms out so I figured that it was about to show one of the killcams. Unfortunately, I was the one getting killed.

Rainbow six Vegas 2. I love Terrorist hunt, but I'll be damned if those bastards don't pull some serious BS from time to time. And if I had to label something from before that, getting kicked from matches on Iron Brigade annoys me to no end. The really messed up part is that roughly 80% of the time I am the only one to get kicked from the game while I'm playing wit my friends.

Twisted Metal, Team Deathmatch, Black Rock Stadium, 13- year old that was such an annoying little shitcricket that everyone went after him. It took us three minutes to get him to ragequit. Immediately afterwards I quit as well, I can't play well when I'm angry.

Catherine. Pretty much every boss level.

I played that Friday night/ Saturday morning, almost all the way through. There was one part that was really, really frustrating:

Spoiler: In case you haven't beaten it.

When you have to escort Katherine through a pretty simple course but she can't seem to navigate worth shit and will fall down for like, no reason. On more than one occasion, as we were climbing up the last staircase, she'd fall just a little behind and the entire map would fucking collapse underneath her and boom, she's dead. We had plenty of room, it was just an arbitrary "what, you're a little ahead? BOOM START OVER *****!"

I was hanging out with my friends and we were making light of it all, sure, but if I was by myself I'd have been raging like a ************.

I just got that game and after about three hours of play I've only gotten about three rooms in and I'm playing on the "easiest" setting. Reading some of these other posts makes me wish IWBTG was that easy.

 

[triggrhappy94]

Probably Deus Ex revolution on hard. Enemies can drop you in a millasecond and your somehow supposed to feel like a cybernetic bad ass. yet I walked straight up to somebody, pointed a sniper rifle point blank at his face and shot and he proceeded to kill me before the gun recoil was even over.

Sniper rifle shot. POINT. BLANK. TO. THE. FACE!! Fuck that overrated pos.

I found out that the game's a bit easier if just not go out of your way to shoot people and mele everyone else. I realized that when I had to go on a mission with no ammo because I had wasted it all tranquilizing homeless people.

X-Com.

Fire NINE shots at small low-rank alien, miss all of them.

He hits me three times in one try.

The last time that I really raged at a game was when I tried to go back and play more of Call of Duty: World at War on Veteran. Somehow I think I made it around halfway through the game, but barely. By the end of that I was about to eat my controller. I think there is still a bite mark on it.

 

[The-Fiction]

Dark Souls, Anor Londo.

Currently stuck a bit where you have to traverse an incredibly narrow path (with bottomless pits of doom either side of it) whilst being shot at by two Silver Knights with ridiculously powerful Greatbows. Can't even block the arrows because the impact of them just sends you sliding backwards and off the edge.

What's more annoying is that even after looking up a strategy on youtube I still haven't been able to do it. I just mess up the timing on my dodge, or instinctively try to block the arrow, even though I KNOW IT'S GOING TO HURL ME OFF TO MY DOOM!

Intend to try and get it done this evening after work...

Soul Calibur 4. Fucking Star Wars crap. Don't get me wrong - I love Star Wars. I even don't mind the prequels all that much and even some of George Lucas' mucking about with the originals (not all of it, but some). But every time I had to fight Starkiller in Soul Calibur 4 I felt like throwing my controller at the wall. In fact, one time I did exactly that and destroyed the battery holder. (Rest of it was okay though so I bought one of those recharge pack thingys and now it works fine). Luckily Soul Calibur 5 doesn't suck as much so I play that now instead (still not quite as good as Soul Calibur II, but a vast improvement on IV, although I really hope they release some of the older characters as DLC or I'll be a mite peeved).

 

[soulfire130]

Dark souls, surprise surprise. -_-
Blight town and Sen's Fortress, to be exact. Blight Town had me running in circles for hours.
then has me use up my estas flask before I get to Quallegg. then I have to run through that nightmare just to get out.

Sen's Fortress... I fucking hate Sen's Fortess. Not for constantly getting hit by traps, not for nearly getting eaten by a mimic, not for the snake people that knock off a bridge to my death and not having a stone golem throw explosive giant bombs at me. No, I hate Sen's Fortress because of that DAMN GOLEM BOSS that keeps blowing his fucking gust of wind to knock me out the fight to my death! I ended up rage deleting all my characters because of him and now I start from scratch... again... for the 20TH time. T_T

Dark Souls on NG+, Anor Londo to be particular.

While I know the difficulty of the damn spear bow using silver knights is through the roof on your first playthrough, on NG+ even if you make it to the archer he just pulls out his sword and kills you. He'll continually push you backwards until the other archer has a shot on you, then you get pincered off the edge, unless you get diced by the first archer beforehand.

The worst I have ever raged at a game was back in the day playing Need For Speed Underground. There was this one race with seven laps of an extremely obstacle ridden course. Whole thing lasted about ten minutes, and if ever you hit something you would have to start again as there was no rubber-banding like mario cart. Gave it a go recently 9 years later AND IT'S STILL BLOODY HARD.

IWBTG is best taken in short doses and entirely not seriously. The whole joke is that it's bullshit hard. Also, the first three rooms are easy. Wait until you get to the Castlevania stage.

OT: The last time I raged at a game was Binding of Isaac over a REALLY bad run with the Blue Baby. Managed to collect every single item that could possibly give me red hearts before reaching The Depths 1. The Blue Baby can't get red hearts. Only blue hearts. I had reached The Depths with essentially nothing. At that point the game is all but unwinnable. The game basically wasted my time and told me to go screw myself.

Coincidentally the next run I tried with Blue Baby was so mindbogglingly awesome that all was forgiven. Ended up being pretty much invincible by the end.

Blood Bowl - I know the computer is cheating. I just can't prove it. If I had a cent for everytime I rolled 3 skulls (1 in 216 chance); and then rolled 3 skulls again (1 in 46000 or so); I'd have $1.32.

Hrrrmmm Dead Rising 2 and it's evil timers and crappy compass. The amount of times I have had to reload from my save currently due to time suddenly disappearing on the main mission whilst I'm helping survivors. Capcom, Y U MAKE MISSIONS TO START LATE?

Also Dark Souls. I rage every time I see someone invade me whenever I'm outside the upper areas of Catacombs (my character is relatively weak on all fronts). However, invade me all you want when I'm in the bridge section of Catacombs. I hope you enjoy the express trip to the bottom.

Whenever I get a little too comfortable with the flying vehicles in Battlefield 3, someone either better than me or at a higher level manages to pull something off, leaving me to flip a table out of rage.

Not to toot my own horn, but I'm really good with the scout helicopters. I'd say one of the better people out there. It doesn't matter if you've got two buddies on each side repairing your helicopter, I can shoot it down (once you've gotten the hang of flying, the trick is to notice that the crosshair's in the scout helicopter's actually don't point to where it will shoot, it shoots a little bit under it). I just unlocked the air to ground missile in the heli, pretty much making unstoppable, provided I figure out how to dodge all the people who inevitably take out their stinger's.

I ended up getting the lock on indicator, so seeing how I had just shot down the other team's helicopter, I just decided to let it hit me and land on the ground to fix it.

Turns out the tanks can unlock Ground to Air missles. Which you can't block with flares. Which kill you in one hit. Which is practically unavoidable.

My team were being useless shits and instead of playing the game, they were all trolling the spawn waiting for a helicopter, so I ended up saying "fuck you guys, deal with it yourselves", and then I left.

I didn't have much trouble with that part, but I'm not ashamed to admit that by that point I really only cared about the story so I'd knocked the difficulty down to easy and started turning to Youtube tutorials.

Honestly, I could only beat it with bot partners. My friends kept dying instantly and the bots would crawl forever when they got downed. I had to sneak on the silver circle and do it solo. Easily the most frustrating thing I've ever done in gaming (withOUT infinite ammo/super reloads).

I can only imagine how long that took you.
