When Has A Game Made You Angry??

[TheHardcase]

Too Human

The exploding enemies

Running straight at you... making you use the awkward (read: more awkward than melee) ranged attacks

While the auto-target is aiming at a piece of railing

And you end up with some explody status effect that eventually kills you and then you have to watch the whole valkyrie thing... for the fiftieth time, because this happens so damn often

Because that game sucked in so many ways

Platformers tend to get me angry as well, but that's my own bloody fault. Strangely, I never got all that mad at online shooters. I think because dying never really phased me, especially in COD. I never looked at my deaths. I cared only about my score, not how many times I died getting there. K/D ratio is for poor team players.

Almost every Rockstar game in the past five years. The amount of frustration derived from such shitty writing makes playing their games feel like an abusive relationship. Every time they lie and say they've learned from their mistakes, and me, being the idiot, running straight back to them only to be frustrated and annoyed to no end time and time again.

Most recent case: L.A Noire and the entire stupid fucking plot.

Rockstar didn't make L.A. Noire at all. They just provided the money and game engine.

If you dislike the storyline, that's Team Bondi's fault.

(Not saying I'm defending Rockstar, as I hate most of their games for repetitive/shallow gameplay reasons, but credit should go where credit is due, and Rockstar isn't responsible.)

4) Fallout: New Vegas: The massive hard-on for Speech in that game. There was a real lack of desirable outcomes (imho) that didn't require high Speech, and that isn't how I want to play. I want to use my fists dammit! To derail slightly, I wish I could just get rid of it all together. Make any speech check you want to pass based off of a related skill/SPECIAL.

This is kinda bugging me too.

In a very "I'm no longer roleplaying I just want to get a good outcome so my character with 1 charisma is putting points in Speech just to get some interesting quest results" kinda way.

It's extremely frustrating. "Oh, this guy won't give me what I want? Well, I can either seduce him into doing it, pickpocket him and probably get caught, or kill him." Your character is essentially either a douchebag, a kleptomaniac or a psychopath (or he's missing out on half the game). This isn't roleplaying. This is the same as people in WoW creating a character based on the 'best' stats. There's no choice here. You're either making a powerful, useful character, or a shit one.

Call of duty black ops multiplayer made me that mad I gave it to my gf

 

[Scarim Coral]

Pokemon Pinball on the Gameeboy color. All I can say is that I suck at the pinball game (how can you time when you use the flipper at the pinball droping on it?)

 

[GreyKnight3445]

The Witcher

I swear that was pure annoyance forged into a game in the fiery lava of Mount Doom itself.

 

[Lawnchair]

Mafia. The racingmission. That f*cker made me so mad I almost burned down my house.

 

[valkeminator]

Whenever a game has succumbed to mediocrity. HAWX2 Im looking at you.

 

[CrashTestZombie]

Quite a few games make me rage. Assassin's Creed stands out mostly because I almost broke my controller in rage.

I was doing one of the informant (or whatever they're called) missions where you have to kill the guards that have seen your fellow assassins or something. I kept failing the mission because the guards would spot me from miles away. Fuckers.

Anywho, I finally memorized every guard path that I needed to in order to complete the mission. I kill the guards and start making my way back by using the HOLD A TO NOT BE SEEN function. And that's when I saw it.

One of those drunken assholes that push you when you dare so much as think about them. It was like a horrible train wreck. Into an orphanage. I couldn't do anything to stop it - just watch and pray for the best.

He pushed me into a guard of all things. And, of course, the guard shouted "ASSASSIN!!!!!!!1" which ended up costing me the mission. Never before have I stared at my screen with the intent to kill.

MW2 Multiplayer, Brink and the game in general, Gears of War 2 and the announcement of Halo 4. This is just in the last couple of weeks.

 

[InfectingTheCrypts]

Mirror's Edge. Oh my word. How dreadful can a game's collision detection be!

 

[Leole]

When a trophy/achievement includes "Beating the game on the Hardest Difficulty setting" and/or "Beat all challenges on Gold/Platinum (I'm looking at you, Prototype)"

Beating the game on Hard is OK, but when the game has 12 difficulty settings, there's a huge chance the last one is instead of being challenging, is just trial and error perfect bullshit.

Take Mass Effect 2 Insanity Trophy as an example, I'm currently doing my playthrough as a Sentinel Evil Shepard (First name, Fagballs) doing fairly well, and I cannot express how unbelievable annoying Scions are. They are, by all means, the hardest mob in all the ME2 universe.

There's one specific part in Horizon I remember redoing at LEAST 10 times because it had 2 Scions and an endless spawn of Husks (Which in Insanity, cannot be killed with Throw or Pull, since they have FUCKING ARMOR). I had to literally glitch the game to get through that specific part.

Stand near the door, to the left, and you can see a Scion aiming at a wall. Shoot Warp 25 times, and he dies. Go to the right side of the door, and you can see the other Scion, 25 Warps again, and you're done. I was so far away from them, their AI wouldn't trigger, so they were easy kills.

In short, fuck indie difficulty settings, I like Easy, Normal and Hard, and that's how it's supposed to be.

MOTHER EFFING SHAO KHAN!!!!

 

[Deathninja19]

Bayonetta and it's bloody Stone awards, it's not my fault you base a game on dodging and then have unavoidable and cheap attacks.

 

[Luke Maton]

Final Fantasy X-2
When you have to move the band people onto the bridge of the ship. Especially the one that runs around in circles. took me 45 minutes -_-

 

[The Garuness]

Prototype. The last boss ( on meduim difficulty). Made me want to vomit blood.

 

[Warlord211]

Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer.

Ugh.

Also, Brink, and its terrible AI.

pretty much this. I usually only get mad at FPS's and usually only in multiplayer.

 

[Warlord211]

Halo 4. It wasn't even released and already it pisses me off. The previous Halo games were already overrated but seriously,why a fourth one? The point of the third was to FINISH THE FIGHT. Halo 3 didn't have a perfect ending,but it had an ENDING.

No it had a cliffhanger. If thats what you call an ending then you probably don't play any sequels because you probably think they are finished after the first game.

 

[NZpablo]

Borderlands. pretty pissed off at how shoddy it was when it came out. Also the f*cking end.

Spoiler

the end, the big treasure that the game had been going on about for the entire game didn't exist. It was just a big boss. and he gave crap loot.

-One normal day in tf2, above average happiness as I realize you've finally got enough scrap-
-makes a decent hat, suddenly the game crashes, computer freezes up and I come back 5minutes later to find no metal or hat ._.-

I feel your pain.
