What games have made you physically angry playing them.

[Silvanus]

Limbo made me very angry indeed for constant dying, and Rayman 1 made me very angry indeed for the necessity of finding every damn Electoon cage before it would let you continue (it seemed near impossible, and I eventually cheated).

Phantom Hourglass angered me by forcing me to head back to the one central dungeon & redo what I'd already done so many times, but that anger was mild compared with Limbo & Rayman 1.

Dead Island.

Those damn Infected (running zombies for those who haven't played it) are the most cringe inducing things I've fought in all my gaming life. They aren't that hard to kill but they come in swarms often faster than you can kill them and there are several spots on the map that seem to spawn them without end. I beat the first game out of spite. Haven't played the sequel yet. Hopefully they balanced it a bit better for single player.

Anything that involves multiplayer deathmatches or timetrials. Deathmatches are hell for someone with a less-than-stellar-lives-outside-of-the-US internet connection. For example, in Uncharted 2 punching someone is an insta-kill move. However, my internet can't process fast enough, so I need to punch at least twice before they die, but other people can happily get me once and I'm down. Or if you suddenly die in Far Cry 3 with no warning, because someone was shooting you the entire time but there was no indication at all, until you're shown a death screen from where you were 10 seconds ago. Also, since when does a sniper rifle at point-blank range not kill someone before you get shot by a shotgun? Why should it take up to three shots?!

And although I haven't played it, Scarlet Blade makes me literally want to punch a wall. Since I'm a female, the reasons should be obvious if you're aware of that game.

Every game where I get angry makes me get physical. Stomping or slamming to make the room shake makes me feel better.

The latest one is the recent Mortal Kombat. Fuck Shao Kahn [HEADING=1]Fuck Shao Kahn[/HEADING]

Just remember get your distance then spam the hell out of your most lethal projectile, if you are playing a character with one anyway.

Or, if you are playing with a more agile character just keep jumping over him down punch then follow up with an upper cut, try jumping over then jumping back to the side you started from too usually always works.

I spent most of the evening going

Don't worry, I found out how well range spamming works on him awhile ago, but before I knew and tried to fight him legit... it's just endless shoulder barges into 3 hit combos and his x-ray and woop, there went all my health, and then endless spears, oh gee thanks, guess I get to do that all over again.

I am still firmly in the camp of "Shao Kahn is a mother fucker".

The demo of Ninja Gaiden 3 Razer edition on PS3 pissed me off so much i almost broke my controller.. the game is frustratingly hard beyond reason.

In general: when games take me for an idiot, the mouseclicks to quit and uninstall them can get furious. Talking about you, Bioshock.

Recently... I am trying to best my record for some track on Trials Evolution and I am flying through it, saving seconds left and right - beautiful! - and there's the finish line, just up the last ram- ohfuck. Ok, again.
Whoa, I'm even doing better now, just a bit of gas here and.. perfect! There's the finish line, just up the... WHATTHE!?

... the moment my bike's wheels hit the last obstacle, I'm playing the game for the very first time. Tried 5 or 6 more times before giving up. Rage was had.

This might seem a bit off, but here is my case.

A year ago they invited an Afganistan war post traumatic stress disorder veteran. Well, lets just say what he started talking about wasn't really pleasant to hear.

A few months later, I had nothing to do in the evening, I decided to pick up a DS version of COD Modern Warfare. I decided to pick a single player mission where you play as a helicopter gunner. As you shoot an explosive barrel, killing 7 enemies with extremely racist accents and apperances, the character started screaming "YEEEEEHAAAAA!!!" as the chopper started to gain speed. That killed me.

I closed my DS and swear I wanted to throw it out the window. I don't want to start a complex topic discussing war themed games. Not sure if it was my overall mood or the game itself, but I kept recalling what the veteran was saying, as well as the wikileaks Iraq shooting spree video. Guess the crappy voice acting in the DS version really did make me snap.

 

[Vicarious Reality]

It gets pretty Fing grating when i play the new Fallout or TES and the lag blocks commands instead of stacking them like normal

 

[ThePenguinKnight]

The early stages of playing Mass Effect, Dragons Dogma, and Deuse Ex Human Revolution got to me a few times. I think unexpected deaths from Tokyo Jungle are a real hit for me since you lose everything upon death, primarily HUGE amounts of time.

 

[Naeras]

Fire Emblem 7 and XCOM: Enemy Unknown are the only games I can remember ragequitting. Why do they invoke anger? Because of something that has 10% hit and 5% crit randomly killing a full health unit, because they, well, critted me against all odds. FE7 is particularly guilty of this, at least XCOM has semi-reliable ways to mitigate crits.

Even though I really like the games in question, there's nothing that makes me as angry as when the gods of RNG sit on a cloud, look at me and say "fuck that guy in particular, can't let people win games simply by playing well".

 

[Dominic Crossman]

Fifa and more recently remember me, seriously screw those flying robots

 

[TomPreston]

Kingdom Hearts. The controls in that game were atrocious.

 

[Kanova]

Call of Duty MW2, Favela, ENTIRE enemy team with grenade launchers. Never played a CoD game since.

More recently, Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. Its a little laggy so you can't dodge missles or any big damage move well. So I die and I curse at the game. Usually something like "Fuck you game, why?"

 

[Stephen Wo]

NHL 09. I love hockey major, but that game is thicker than a god damn brick. The controller support is fucking daffy and it's so unfriendly to keyboard players. It pisses me right off. Plus there's not tutorial or even manual so thanks EA.

 

[Glongpre]

Ninja gaiden black because the ai was kicking my ass. It is my first time alma gimme a break.
Also the final battle in god of war 1 on god mode. It is just so frustrating, those fucking clones AHHHHhHhHhhHhHhhHh!!!!!!!!!!!!
For sure COD, cause screw those kids.

But I have diffenately gotten better at controlling my anger at games since then.

 

[Diablo2000]

I wanted to punch my TV when

Spoiler: Walking Dead spoilers

Lily shot Carly. She was my second favorite character. I paced around my room growling obscenities for a good 10 minutes.

That.

Then also Pokemon from frustration of trying to catch legendaries. Then there have been a few times in Dark Souls so far, but not too many, surprisingly. Most of those few were... well... Blighttown sucks.

I know that felling bro. Wasting 30 Ultraballs to try to catch Zapdos only to fail, then reload, buy a shitton of Ultraballs, make my all back to him again and capture on the first Ultraball I throw. Zaptroll that what he is...

Tower of Heaven, a flash game; http://www.towerofheaven.com/

No game, NO GAME has ever frustrated me more. It's a simple platformer, super duper easy at first, and very short in terms of actual length... if you die, you respawn at the beginning of the very small level. The reason being you will probably die a LOT. Because as you progress in this game, God (whose tower you seek to climb) begins laying down arbitrary rules that, if disobeyed, result in an insta-kill. Like Thou Shall Not Touch The Sides Of Platforms. Thou Shall Not Touch A Living Thing. Though Shall Not #*$%# Walk Left.

Pretty much the only game that can make me physically angry as well. I can die for 8 hours on the same area in Dark Souls and not even care, but when I'm on my promotion games in League, pick my carry, and the last guy picks Malphite as a support, E's my minions and does not reply to me, I catch myself actually wishing, without hyperbole, that I could stab that guy in the knee. That's why I don't play that often anymore.
