Lost planet...Not that it is very hard, but basically the whole game is a time trial, and I do not like getting rushed into killing enemies just so that I don´t freeze to death myself....that´s BS
When Has A Game Made You Angry??

Pretty much every time a game 'grades' me I get pissed off. I want to be able to play a level the way I want to, screws up and all. I don't want letter/number scores applied after every level telling me that I fucked up when I came to just enjoy the experience.
Brink and Duke Nukem but those are purely for political, opinionated reasons.
Otherwise, a lot of games frustrated me but the ones that actually make me mad are fighting games. Any fighting game. I?m terrible art them and so when said terrible is matched against a far better opponent I get owned, hard. It makes me rage.

Cheater AI, particularly that of the SNK boss variety can get me pretty worked up. I can lose in hard games just fine, but if I lose due to the AI simply being unfair, yeah, it can get frustrating.
Also people who refuse to have any sportsmanship when it's just 3 v 3 on a public community server in TF2. In a competitive match, sure, use every dirty trick you know, fine with me. But on a pub, especially when you're trying to get the server to fill up, I kind of expect a bit of fair play.

Bioshock. Because it crashed again and again.
Assassin's Creed 2: Because I hate Ubisoft's DRM. (Personally, I always count DRM as a bug.)
Lost Planet. Because I bought it retail and thanks to a bug, it'll never install on XP Pro.
Dawn Of War 2. Because Windows Live is total bloatware and noone I know wants to play DoW2 because of it.
I won't whine about games that are too 'hard' (that's just part of the challenge, right?) or games with awful AI because that's an essay in it's own right.
I do hate games that take cheap shots at the player. Bosses with a gajillion hitpoints (except in that one vulnerable place), games that promise features and don't deliver (you'll never complain about FarCry 2's lack of stealth after you've played Soldier Of Fortune) or
the infantile balancing that goes on in game design.
(You know what I mean: The best gun in the game takes a minute to reload and there are only ten rounds for it in the whole damn game. The UltraCannon 9001 is your best unit, but it took five years and 200 men to build, you're only allowed one and it moves about as fast as a mobile cathedral. The chick with the long legs kicks faster than you can see but hits like a sparrow. etc.)
Me, I hulk out at the bullshit quality control in (so called) triple-A titles.

I hear ya... my raging against the ME heavens was fighting the damn Praetorian here on any difficulty north of Normal, as either Infiltrator or Adept class. Just the particular angle you re-enter that room (forked highground w/ limited cover @ the entrance) spells "deathtrap" for a long-range engagement. I try to bite chunks out of the Praetorian with a heavy assault with rifle(s)/biotics/tech, I get my squadmates owned by drones and Harbinger(s). I focus on the drones/Harbinger(s), or (God forbid!) pull double assault/suppressive fire duties, I run the risk getting my own ass pwned by the Harbinger(s) &/or Praetorian. My 1st epic fail during this mission came after I had emptied my M-5, M-490 Blackstorm & my Widow during this last segment & still got (pitifully) curbstomped via the Praetorian. I swear that thing regens barrier power faster than Krogans regen health on Insanity.Dane Corle said:
J.J. & Jeff - TurboGrafx's answer to Mario Bros. The difficulty level was high enough when trying to make it through to the final stages, but then there are hidden warps that can either help you immensely or royally fuck you up. Of course I ran into the latter type where after spending hours upon hours in getting to the final stage, I accidentally missed a jump and landed on one which warped me right back to the very beginning of the game!! AARRGGGHHH!
I never played that game again. EVER!!

I have 2...
The first is from Pokemon Gold edition, I had finally defeated Lance for the first time in the elite 4, while only using a Fearow. My batteries were running low so I mashed "A" as fast as possible to claim my final reward and then the game dies on me.... I have never played that game without it plugged in since.
The secound comes from a game which I have brought up many times on this forum, Super Meat Boy. Anyone who has played the game knows the infuriatingly hard I Want to Be the Guy warp zone. I had finally gotten to the third level after one hour of playing. I then procedeed to play the third level for TWO HOURS before I finally triumphed.

Malboro's. If you've never seen them before, there first move and stupid amounts of health make you WTF, at first, then after you heal your party and get off 1 or 2 attacks, they do it again and then I get the urge to reload my game and go grind or skip that part if I can help it.
They only have at max 5 you have to unlock. I will agree female characters are over used but I don't how they are cheap. A bit high speed maybe but then so is Jann Lee and Hyabusa. I suppose if that is how you think I can't really change your mind as I detest playing most of the male characters as they are too slow and heavy handed but yes the boss is annoying.CalabusDabus said:
OT: Playing CoD WaW on veteran and feeling that I had a giant nade magnet stuck to my chest and getting blown up every 2 mins.
Star Wars: Battlefront II's Galactic Conquest campaigns. I've lost count of the number of times I've been the only person on my side at a control point as countless enemy grunts come in, eventually overwhelming me. I've actually heard myself saying "Back me up, guys! I need backup, guy! I really need some help defending this control point, guys! And now I'm dead. Way to back me up, you worthless assholes!". Not a particularly useful rant when the game has no chat function and my teammates are all computer controlled.
Scarface: The World Is Yours. The final mission had no checkpoints, and endlessly spawning bad guys. Plus, they take away all of your weapons at the start of the mission. Goodbye machine gun. Goodbye M-16 with grenade launcher. Goodbye rocket launcher. Hello pistol with exactly 7 bullets in my inventory.
Uprising: Future Tactics: Three members of your party are arbitrarily killed in a single cutscene, including the best combatant in the game.
Borderlands: Mad Moxie's Underdome Riot. The arena fights involve 20 Rounds of 5 Waves each, with randomly selected debuffs, and no save points at all, so you couldn't leave the arena and pick up where you left off later. This is a MULTI-HOUR fight. They could have easily kept track of how many Rounds you'd survived and allowed you to do it piecemeal. This lack of checkpoints didn't enhance the challenge, only the frustration.
Gears of War 2, for all the times they interrupted the action to include some more plot exposition.
