When Has A Game Made You Angry??

[Avatar Roku]

Conrad Marburg from Alpha Protocol. Not as a boss (though he is hard enough), but rather what he does in the story. Granted, he is supposed to make you feel that way.

Spoiler

After playing cat-and-mouse with him for a few missions, with him being an arrogant git the whole time, you finally get to the endgame for that region, the museum in Rome. Towards the end, you are informed that he has captured Madison, someone who is under your protection, as well as a potential love interest. She is in one wing. The bombs he has planted to help incite a war are in another wing. You have to choose. If you choose to save Madison, she gets pissed at you and leaves, so I always choose the bombs. After you defuse them, Marburg shows up with Madison. You yell to let her go. Marburg agrees...then promptly shoots her in the back for no reason. And then, he has the sheer balls to say her death is all your fault, a sentiment that Leland echos in the next cutscene. And then he calls you arrogant, to which you can respond with one of my favorite lines.

"Arrogant? No, arrogant is shooting an unarmed woman in the back and assuming that means you can take me out."

Unfortunately, if you have not done your utmost for the entire game to piss Marburg off (which means you cannot be a stealth character or a Professional, since he respects an agent who keeps a low profile and a professional attitude, which is irritating to me since those are both things I always am), you cannot kill him here, he escapes. And if you didn't find out a secret about Madison, you can't watch him die later. You CAN, however, make him betray Leland, but that's not nearly as satisfying.

The Cheap moments. When out of nowhere something cool or stupid, but terribly CHEAP happens and you DIE because of it. It's either because your still in the wowfactor, or either because your raging how stupid this moment is and then poof you die.
I also rage a lot in League of Legends when my team is full of retards and they stay around and just say I'm the retarded one (which surely I am not) - I hate these moments and I hate this game for not doing anything about those people. And I think they are not doing anything 'bout 'em because they are egetting more and more, not less.

Dead or Alive 4....
I was an SS rank in DoA Ultimate, not exactly special but still, I didn't suck at the game. I get DoA4 and first go to story mode to unlock some costumes etc. The first thing I noticed is about round 5 the AI was getting 12 hit combo's on me that was taking half my health away from me in a couple seconds. I go the options menu to see if I had accidentally changed the difficulty to very hard. Nope, it was still on "normal" the easiest difficulty in the game.

I get a couple costume unlocks from characters I was already used to, and having already looked at the achievements, I knew I would have to complete the story campaign for ever character multiple times to go get all costumes for an achievement.

I started playing Kasumi's campaign struggled through the story a couple times. (It's only 8 round for each campaign.) And then, I noticed that Kasumi and all the other female characters in the game had 6-12 costumes per character (Half the cast is female.) I detest playing the female characters because they are clunky, over used, cheap, and weak to boot.

I still have not this achievement in the 4 years I have gotten the game.

(Seriously fuck the Kasumi clone at the end, and the developers with a 12ft rusty spear.)

Brink, about half an hour in, things started going down hill...

A week later, and I needed to trade it in to prevent myself from commiting genocide at how terrible the god damned AI is.

 

[Reaper195]

Halo CE, The Library, Legendary. At the time, it was horrifying. Now though, it's somewhat easy after a few hours of playing the recent CoD/MoH games. That and just about everything in Reach

 

[Sarkule]

Assasins Creed 2 and brotherhood. You're running along being awesome, and then the camera angle changes to be more 'convenient' and you FALL OFF.
Also, obviously Assassins Creed 1 with the drowning.
So much yelling and loud banging noises coming from my room while playing that.

Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero.

EVERY.

FREAKING.

LEVEL.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

Lost Odyssey(a JRPG) had a point where in order to continue the story, you need a Gate Pass. The only way to get these Gate Passes (each one a one-time-use), you had to steal it from a guard. In battle. Not a very good success rate on the stealing skill if one of the characters in your party HAS the stealing skill.

And the electric worm boss, took me four tries to beat it and then another one appears, now my team is at half heath, and I've used up most of my healing items.

 

[Jodah]

Dawn of War Winter Assault Mission 4...just thinking about it makes me rage. The idea of the fight isn't hard but the AI and pathing makes me want to stab kittens, and I love kittens.

 

[DANCEMASTERAFRO]

After being ranked around 400th in the world (At least on Xbox Live, without glitching the leaderboards etc) at CoD4, which is genuine fact I was that good, turning on MW2 and being reduced to a mediocre player with a above average but hardly spectacular K/D and rank. As well as all the guys I used to play with both seriously and casually asking me what happened to my skill? Worst moment though was definately when me and my friends got trashed by some prepubescent kids, due largely to me being so useless, and getting trash talked and sent messages for the rest of the night. Definite ragequit moment

 

[Centrophy]

Xenosaga... all of them. What a huge load of horrible dialogue, writing (plot), characters, battle system(s). That's right three different battle systems! Then after trudging myself through all three games hoping to get some kind of glimpse into Xenogears chapters 1-4 it ends with a cliffhanger. F.U.! Die in a fire... while drowning!

DA2.

I love fantasy, fuckin' love it. And it made me angry - perhaps even resentful - that Bioware delivered to us a cash grab instead of an actual game. If you like it I hold nothing against you but seriously, don't go about justifying that it's anything but a cash grab. Where do I begin?

1. You took away my elves? What the FUCK bioware?

Yeah, I know. This reason is a tad petty. After all, Mass Effect doesn't let you pick your species. But you know what? I say screw that noise. The last DA1 offered you a choice of your race. So from the get go they start the game with a step down from the previous one.

2. All the stages are the same.

I mean, it's not even that they just look the same. They literally are basically the same level with certain areas closed off. Even the map layout is the same.

3. Inconsistent plot.

If my character gets rich one quarter through the game I demand a logical explanation why I'm not actually, you know, rich.


4. Graphics are kind of lame.

Compare Mass Effect 2 to Dragon Age 2. Heck, compare Mass Effect to Dragon Age 2.

At first this game made me pretty angry but now I just break down crying and run away .

The end of Dragon Age 2

Spoiler

Any player can understand why I yelled "GODDAMNIT ANDERS"

Also, playing FFXIII just made me angry at the developers. And the battle system... Ah, christ.

 

[LobsterFeng]

The "Twing-Twang" segments in Heavenly Sword. Holy crud, I wanted to explode in rage. For those that don't know what it is, you basically have to shoot arrows, then control them in slow-mo with the awful, awful, awful, awful, *takes breath* awful, awful, awful Sixaxis controls.

 

[Antisigma]

Alan Wake. Hard difficulty. Spending fifteen minutes creeping past poltergeist objects on a bridge only to run smack into an insta-kill possessed backhoe.

Actually, that whole game. From the main character's consistently stupid decisions to his mind-numbingly aggravating support character to his little girl-ish running speed and endurance.

Made it to the temple, but it also ended there.

 

[NeutralDrow]

You mean, like the game making me frustrated? Or something in the game making me genuinely enraged?

For the first...a few of the fighting ring missions in God Hand were ungodly difficult (especially that goddamn 0:15 one on level DIE).

For the second...well, I was screaming in silent fury at certain characters in A Drug That Makes You Dream. Also, during a certain moment in Crescendo, I wanted to crush the windpipes of a certain group of rapists, disembowel them, and listen to them try to scream their lives away. And when the main antagonist of Symphonic Rain did something I never would have expected...well, I was too livid for words or concepts.

 

[Seriin]

Discounting stuff that is computer cheating hard (mostly fighting games vs AI), the only game that has made me angry was Rogue Galaxy. The setting and first two acts were so good, but at the start of Act 3 it all fell to ruin. Biggest disappointment I've ever had in a game and it riles me up even now.

 

[TheDooD]

I know people are gonna be angry but I hated the Story/Plot of Shadow of the Colossus. I just couldn't justify the reason to kill all those Colossus just to save 1 life.

RDR: Liar's Dice

Really? That game was actually pretty easy. After an hour of high stakes dice, my John Marstin was a millionare.
