When was the last time a game truly annoyed you?

Discuss annoying things in games.

I myself was once sitting on the floor in the back garden one summer's morn, the faint wisp of cut grass invading my nostrils. Looking over my garden fence I saw a squirrel gently nibbling on a nut, seeing this I suddenly jumped and make a stark realization. I could be playing Halo 3. So instantly I ran upstairs and turned on my Xbox 360 and inserted the game disc, the faint clunk of it against the disc tray satisfied me like an angel singing an Alanis Morisette song, but not one of the violent ones like You oughta know. I turned the game on and entered a game, where upon I began running towards enemies firing out shot after shot, raining down hails of death. And then... SOME DAMN NOOB IN A BANSHEE CRASHED RIGHT IN TO ME! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!? IT'S RIDICULOUS! OVERPOWERED NOSENSE, so I turned the console off and ran out of my room, stubbed my toe on the door. Cursed the 360 and became a PS3 fanboy.

So, what are your annoying gaming experiences?

Modern Warfare 2 on Veteran. In every level I eventually just went prone and spammed L1 and R1 as fast as I could

Trauma Center: Under The Knife (DS). The end "boss" was insane. Just when I finished lasering all the bugs away, and was about to stitch up the wound, it would erupt, unleashing hundreds of more bugs... I literally FFFFFFUUUUUUUUU'd. I never finished it either. :(

The controls on KZ2. Also, all the headshots that just knock of helmets in that game. That game is just plain frustrating altogether...because of the controls and bad weapons.

MW2 online i really dont know how people enjoy it its so damn annoying traded it in within 2 weeks

CoD 4 Modern Warfare, highest difficulty setting (Veteran I think). All enemies have a +95% hit rate and all seem to be only after YOU.

just about every COD game on veteran (except MW2) because of the respawning enemies and the fact that THEY ONLY FOCUS ON YOU AND ALWAYS SEEM TO KNOW WHERE THE HELL YOU ARE!!!

grrr....COD2 frustrated me soooooo much :(

Dead Rising gets annoying sometimes....to many zombies! :P

Anything related to Justice is annoying in GG:ACP.

I don't remember the last thing that has frustrated me so much, but my girlfriend is currently playing through her first game: The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap. And she was having loads of fun with it, but now she's at the end and the difficulty just spiked up for Vaati. She's been struggling with it for a couple days now and is extremely frustrated.

I've always hated sudden spikes in difficulty, but I never thought how bad they must be for non-gamers trying to get into gaming.

Devil May Cry 4. The depth perception in the game is terrible to me. Who cares that It looks like i'm right next to the final boss in DMD, I'm obviously about an inch too far away.

I also like how the camera would zip away when I would be about to juggle the obviously biggest threat in an area.

You want this monster? Well.... look at this scarecrow all the way on the other side of the room. Looks awesome, doesn't it?

Mass Effect for PC.

I had to edit an .ini file to get the screen resolution to 1680X1050. There's actually multiple instances of this code I need to change in different .ini files of my mass effect folder only 1 seems to actually affect the game.

The game looks, and runs like crap, and it's not because of my hardware. I'm still trying to customize the setting, but in game config doesn't work properly, and it takes forever to figure out what things to change in the multiple .ini files.

Playing with noobs in Bad Company 2.

That wasn't nearly as hard or difficult as Killzone 2 was on elite. Killzone 2 on elite was one of the hardest SP experiences I've ever had. At least in COD4 you could kill enemies in 1-2 shots. In freaking KZ2 it would take entire clips of ammunition to bring down one armed to the teeth helghast soldier. It was so hard to kill these guys that by the end of the game you're actually going all ninja on them with your knife because it kills them in one hit.

By the end you'll lose your mind, unloading 25-30 rounds into Helghast soldiers that only midly annoys them and then beating them to death with the butt of your rifle while the game sends 10 to 20 more of these psychos at you who consistently rush your posistion while the others in the back shoot RPG's.

The only way I managed to beat the end of that game was because I think I reached a higher state of existence.

It would either have to be playing with noobs/too many snipers on BF2, MW2's multiplayer.

But actually, nothing still annoys me more than FFXIII, It's easily the worst in the series if it didn't have to compete with X-2, I was annoyed by the storyline, the dialogue and the characters, and the gameplay was even annoyingly simple.

MW2. Cant stand that garbage.

Like 2 weeks ago when I was playing Gears 2 multiplayer online. If you've played it, then there's no need for me to explain why I was annoyed. :|

Heavy Rain was the last game to really annoy me...hold R2 to walk? Really!? tbone802

Dead Rising. I had a hard time beating the first boss. It took me several tries, then when I finally beat him I died on my way to the checkpoint :evil:
