Most Stressful Games You've Played?

Fallout3, also one of the best games Ive ever played, but stressful because I could leave no create un-opened and no body un-looted. After I did anything significant in that game I had to make 3 trips just to empty an area and organize my loot back at my abode....

housekeeping is stressful indeed...

and yes to all those who said Demon Souls... nothing more stressful then +600k souls sitting in a pool of blood at least 20 mins from the nearest checkpoint

I never undertsood the praise for DS's difficulty. Demon Soul's was challenging, but Dark Soul's seemed way too easy.

Anyway, Super Meat Boy makes me rage as soon as I press start.

Almost any game online pisses me off. I can't stand COD anymore and even my old favorites like Halo and RDR piss me off when I play multiplayer. The only two mulitplayer games I play online anymore are Gears of War 3 and Battlefield 3, and I usually only play those with my own party friends. Except for those two, I only play singleplayer games now.

Probably Dark Souls. Its certainly the most frustrating game I have ever played. BibiMaghoo

Try God Of War with spinning columns. :P

Super Meat Boy was just so frustrating to get through, it was fun and rewarding nonetheless.

WoW Arena, Counterstrike and any GTA without cheats.

QWOP is a pain in the ass to play.

i hate when people use acronyms and expects everybody to know what it is

Dawn of War and Dawn Of War 2 stress me out RTS games in general make me a little anxious online! God knows why!

Fighting games can make me rage.

Call of Duty makes me rage and every now and again so does BF3.

Demon's/Dark Souls, fear of dying.

Recent being Demon's Souls and Dark Souls.

Curse this game, you're never too sure how close to a ledge you should be to jump properly without missing and dying.

It isn't.

Oh I'd also like to add Brink into my previous comment.

There are some levels in that game that are just rage inducing for me.

Yeah, gotta agree with Dark Souls. The game frustrated me so much I only got about halfway through it. Okay I don't know if it was halfway, but it was like 15 hours in. It was at some part where you could be cursed almost instantly. I don't have the time to waste spending 3-4 hours farming up souls again to get the curse removed. I hate games where you're forced to farm, and a curse certainly does force you to farm. That actually has to be one of the most horribly designed game mechanics I've seen in a decade, props to From Software. Lethalhazard

Any online shooter. I get worked up pretty easily if I'm playing badly or things arn't going my way.

4 Candidates for this, quite hard to decide:
Contra, this game is insanely hard and it doesn't save after finishing a level.
Turok, replaying these HUGE levels after dieing to some stupid drop was quite annoying.
COD WaW/MW2/BO, due to the huge amount of people abusing imbalanced weapons.
Digimon, your digimon died of age and digivolved in a pointless digimon if they pooped to much outside of the toilet

The last few stages of Ninja Gaiden Sigma on any difficulty above hard.

Stressful? Games aren't that serious. :lol:

I've played "difficult" and "challenging" games, but I've never played a game that literally stressed me out. And even if I got to that point, I would more than likely stop playing.

The new Zelda game, Donkey kong for the wii and well all mario games on wii were pretty stress full.Solid_Tango

I love your avatar....

Dark Souls with its troll ending to boot.

Pray_to_me

what exactly was wrong with the ending?

Little Big Adventure

It's a great game, but the saving system is frustrating. Every time you die or get caught you have to escape from the prison/hospital again and again. It's very annoying and I hope the upcoming remake fixes that, allowing to manually save the progress like the sequel.

any online game where you want to win, particularly fifa for me, since im pretty good and hate to lose, if i sucked i wouldn't care.

for single player games demon's souls, killzone 2 last level, dead space games(good stressful), ninja gaiden

Ninja Gaiden

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Final Fantasy 1-7

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (without the internet, and sometimes with it, this game is frustrating to find anything. Anyone whose played it knows what I'm talking about)

Halo 3 on Legendary

Smash Bros Brawl (Trying to get everything... Hard as sh*t if you try to get everything)

Contra

etc.

I wanna be the guy. Its free to play so everyone should download it.

Most recently was Kane and Lynch 2, playing split screen is impossible with all the grain and circles of coloured doom over the whole screen. The shaky cam when you move is enough to make anyone throw up and you finally get past enimies that take 4 times the amount of bullets you do to die and the game freezes your Ps3 system up, forcing you to start from the beginning of the chapter instead of the multiple saves the game "said" it saved. Couple all this with rooms of unending waves of the same looking enimies that you are forced to get through to reach a door behind them, and you get two thrown controllers across the room.

Counterstrike: Source

Super Meat Boy

VVVVVV

F-Zero GX

Megaman 3

Company of Heroes

Heavy Rain

Probably NG on Xbox. That game is hard and stressful at the same time it just kicks you rass.

Bah, you kids these days. In my day, let alone checkpoints, you didn't even have battery back up in some cartridges- if you didn't beat it in one go you started back at square one. I remember the first TMNT on NES, I've seemingly repressed most memories of it but I do remember being down 3 turtles and only having Raphael to finish the job- the sai had some pretty aweful range.

Dark Souls stresses me out to the point where I can't even play it. I don't want to grind to be able to beat the bosses, and I truly believe that each time, this is the time I'm going to do it, and then I die, get riled as ****, but my inner pride takes over and I try again. The game is addicting when I'm playing it, but when I set it down I'm too scared to go back to it. Haven't touched it in months now. I'll beat it some day.

Any MMORPG I have played.

Probably WoW and League of Legends. Those are the ones that immediately come to mind anyway. Pretty much any multiplayer game that I get competitive with, can become very stressful for me. It certainly doesn't help that I'm a big fighting game fan either :P

In my recent memory, Uncharted 3's shooting part.IAmNot_fun
