Name a few games that have made you want to rip the controller to shreds, throw the console through the TV and burn a few things here and there! And if you're up to it, explain why! For me, I'd have to say: Mirror's Edge - The trial and error gameplay in this game is ridiculous. Tales of Phantasia - OH GOD DAMN FLYING ENEMIES WHY CAN'T I JUST HIT YOU FROM HERE GOD DAMMIT NO DON'T STAND IN FRONT OF ME YOU STUPID HEALER AHHHHHHHHHHH (Edit: I've JUST run into another frustrating thing.. THANKS FOR TELLING ME I HAD TO GET ELEMENTALS BEFORE VISITING MORIA GALLERY! Damn...) Ninja Gaiden 2 (Xbox 360) - The difficulty of the bosses are most surely not proportionate to the levels preceding them. Pretty much any original Mega Man game. aaaand a few more I can't think of.
New Super Mario Bros on the DS. My gosh I had to use a guide to find the warp guides (to level 8) by the end of it otherwise I'd tear the game cart in half from frustration. Such a difficult game.
i think the worst for me was marble madness on the nes. more recently there was a level in galaxy 2 where you have to kill 20 or so spike things in 90 secs and it drove me absolutely nuts.
I cannot control my rage when playing any Prince of Persia game, simply because I end up falling to my death repeatedly. I can't stand that for longer than 5 minutes, so I give up before my TV gains a controler shaped hole =) Star Ocean The Last Hope also makes my rage boil up instantly due to the voice acting and lack of control the game would actually like to give me.
The last game that made me rage was Skate 2 and that was about an hour ago, ended up repeatedly punching the damn controller.
Alot of games make me rage though, some games are naturally rage inducing like Skate, Street Fighter etc, but i usually find that once I'm in that mood, every game will make me rage.
"Are you serious? Three freakin' blue shells in a row!?! Come on!"
The worst though is when you are in first place on the last lap laying into one of those multiple turbo mushrooms with the finish line in sight and one of the other racers passes you by at the last second. WHAT IS THAT!
My my rage inducing game is an odd one, NBA 2K10. It really gets me riled up, riled up enough that i plain lay into the arms of my chair and scream swear words until i'm blue in the face. And yet i still persist in playing it, guess that shows how stubborn i am! Haha
1. Machinarium- bird on wire part, I guess my computer wasn't good enough to do this correctly, but I finally got it after about 20 minutes 2. XMen Origins Wolverine- part where you have to destroy the helicopter. I think it was glitching because I was pressing it very fast and it wouldn't work. I punched my bed a few times :( 3. Any FPS single player has those moments where I stop playing and toss my controller onto some adjacent furniture (or the ground)
Tales of Phantasia - OH GOD DAMN FLYING ENEMIES WHY CAN'T I JUST HIT YOU FROM HERE GOD DAMMIT NO DON'T STAND IN FRONT OF ME YOU STUPID HEALER AHHHHHHHHHHH (Edit: I've JUST run into another frustrating thing.. THANKS FOR TELLING ME I HAD TO GET ELEMENTALS BEFORE VISITING MORIA GALLERY! Damn...Indextic
Come now, that game wasn't that bad :D.
i think the worst for me was marble madness on the nes.osan0
Haha, yes, I remember yelling at those darn Marbles too :D. Battletoads anyone? Ikari Warriors? Sagaia?
Blur. Good game, but there's always something that manages to screw up an entire race. Repeatedly. or achieve one of the objectives that only count if you finish 3rd or above...and finish 4th. Or those damn time stages...
Naturally, I wouldn't back down, so things would just get worse. Blue shells have nothing on what hoops that game makes you jump through.
Demon's Souls: Not so much for it's difficulty, but for being invaded for the 8th freaking time in a row when all I want to do is complete the damn level.
Super Street Fighter IV: Fun 90% of the time. The other 10%? Ever have a seriously bad losing streak? I've wanted to bang my head off my desk repeatedly to ease the sense of frustration.
In MW2 when you have just done the estate mission where you hold up in the house, then you have to run out down the field where the mortars start a barrage, I ran ahead of Ghost too quickly and started the mortar barrage and it was physically impossible for me to complete the level. I didn't know it at the time so I spent about an hour trying to do it and got intensely angry.
The Final boss fights in pretty much all JRPG's. They are usually really looong multi-tiered fights. Theres nothing worse then having a 45 minute stressfull fight, and losing right when your about to win. Oooooh that ticks me off...
Playing the same damn thing three times to unlock the good stuff while fighting off common enemies with boss-level attacks-torture to the mind and soul. Not to mention there was no way to prevent random encounters of enemies!
Unlike Pokemon's repel, which worked on all wild Pokemon except legendaries, MMBN4's evasion item had NO effect once you hit your third playthrough. (had to use Pokemon because it was the first thing that came to my mind)
