QOTW: What's the angriest you've been at a game?

Answer our weekly question and check out our favorite user answers from last week!

Words: GamesRadar US

Every week the hosts of TalkRadar present and answer a new "Question of the Week" - a personal inquiry which unearths some of our deepest, and sometimes most sinister, gaming memories. Everyone is encouraged to answer each week's question, so go ahead, tell us your most glorious, nostalgic, or shameful story!


This week's question:

What's the angriest you've been at a game?

What puzzle, level, glitch or other experience made you hurl your controller with the most vigor?

Answer this week's question in the comments!

Questions can also be answered in the QOTW forum thread. Our favorite posts this week will be read next week on TalkRadar 56, and appear in the next edition of this article. Listen to TalkRadar 55 tomorrow for our answers!


Last week's question:

What was your favorite moment at E3?

As always, a big thanks to everyone who contributed - except for Dualcarrot, who chose to repost the same drivel about Natal twenty-or-so times. Thanks buddy.

In general, you guys liked the stuff we did... though we may have been a bit more pessimistic overall. There were lots of mentions of Metroid: Other M, Project Natal, The Beatles: Rock Band, Last Guardian, The GOWIII trailer, new Metal Gear, and all that good stuff.

Below are a few of last week's answers that tickled our collective fancies, but since we can't feature them all here, check out last week's article and forum thread for more...

"Metroid: Other M, definitely. Golden Sun DS was a big one too. Was hoping to say next Zelda, but of course it was a no show..."

At least it was announced that the next Zelda will be announced... that's something, right?

"The Nintendo Conference was actually half decent this year except for Wii Vitality Sensor. WTF! I'll get it if it lets me squish zombies with my finger in some kind of Resi spin-off.

Metroid: Other M... The trailer came on. Meteors and shooting. S...s..star Fox? I stuttered. But then it was something even better. It looks ******* amazing!"

So did we. Also, whatever are those seemingly random letters and numbers in your username? You do have us baffled, sir!

Hands down the first Stuntman had me fuming beyond all measure.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma, the ghost fish things, they seem so week but they kept eating me, i remember i had to stop playing for 2 days just to calm down

Trying to get the "late boomer" trophy on Super stardust HD had me screaming like a madman.
It was my first trophy game and i was determined to get 100%. I still haven't got it and it nags at me everytime i look at my trophy list.

MADDEN 2009 I lost for the 5th time in a row in ranked match so I riped the disk in half and tore the case to pieces with my teeth and my mom wanted to know what happened so i told her i tripped and fell...

HalfLife got me really angry because i got to the bit with the giant fourlegged spider thing towards the end but only had minimal health and suit power. i almost snapped my ps2 controller in half.
the first stuntman also peed me off

Hands down, Seth on Street Fighter IV. Oh so cheap. Worse than the boss guy on Tekken 5 or Tekken Force mode in 3.

Before that it was probably this mission on Assassin's Creed where your target is out near water and the first time I think I broke the game by getting ahead of the target and he wouldn't move, and then suddenly he was gone. Then when I retried whenever I kept chasing him sometimes Altair would just jump into the water or when I was right behind the guy he would keep hitting things or trying to run up walls. And he always managed to get to the base and I had to fight at least twenty guys, but that's not hard. Not that frustrating but pretty annoying.

Before that: the very last bit of the last story mission on GTA IV. So annoying until I figured how to 'cheat' it.

Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, the last puzzle before Desann was impossible, it almost gave me vertigo moving all the blocks and pressing the almost invisible buttons.

the one boss in kingdom hearts were his feet are in a valcano and then before i could defeat him my memory card went missing lets just say i was not a happy camper

Mine would have to be some of the challenges on both skate and Skate 2, the amount of times i had to hit the retry challenge button was a nightmare especially on games of S.K.A.T.E, I swear i was going to throw either the PS3 out the window or myself.

So after all that the moral of this story is never buy games that are going to be frustrating, pick fun games :D

Back in the Genesis days I would play NBA JAM T.E. with my older brother. He being much more of a sports guy then me - would always "work the clock" at the end of the game so I could never have another chance... One day I got so mad after losing for the umpteenth time I grabbed his controller by the cord and swung it hard to the ground cracking the controller open and sending the A and C buttons soaring across the room. Needless to say, we had to play single player for quite some time after that.

CoD on veteran. especially the level after you shoot zakahev and u hav to drag that guy around while you wait for the slowest helicopter ever
ButtMunch  - 5 months 12 days ago 
Chuffin sephiroth in his final (safer is it called?) form in FFVII where he does that ridiculous supernova move that takes off half your partys health where the cutscene lasts pretty much as long as it took you to play the game up to that point and he basically destroys the whole solar system, then he does it again straight after!!! How can you destroy the solar system twice!!?????? ARGGHHHH!

Leaderboards on Geometry Wars 2. I've sunk so many hours getting so close, but a stray shape always gets me... Grr.
skyguy343  - 5 months 12 days ago 
thanks for the mention XD

one weekend i decided to finish twilight princess. as i'm playing snowpeak manor at 2:30 in the morning i was getting pissed off at the stupid sliding ice block puzzle. so pissed, in fact, i snapped the wii-mote within my hand which i then had to wake my mum up and explain that i smashed my wii-mote in frustration with a zelda puzzle and that she had to drive me to the emergency so i could get the white shard of plastic out of my hand. the worst part was the next day i checked as many guides as i could and still didn't find the answer (i still beat it though)

Hands down it would have to be Ruby Weapon in FFVII... Nothing like beating the crap out of him (even with killing two of your party members so you don't get sucked into oblivion), only to be bitched slapped to that infernal "Game Over" screen. Epidamy of cheap boss... Sodding bastard!
kingofspades94  - 5 months 12 days ago 
Could Seth from street fighter 4 be any more annoying?? GRRRRRRRR! one time, i looked at my score and every time you lose it goes up by one point, i had OVER 150 LOSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Z-man427  - 5 months 12 days ago 
Either the 2nd to last "Assassination" in AC or anytime in PoP that a QTE popped up only to flash away half a second later.

The 2nd to last assassination in AC had me annoyed mainly because of how many guards "Robert" had with "him". And when I played it the first time (yes I played it more than once), I for some reason, could not dodge. so annoying, but it was the only time in the game that the Vigilantes were actually helpful to me.

QTEs in PoP, ugh. Anyone who has played it will know what I mean.

POP: sands of time. it had me throwing my pad in anger so much that i broke 2 pads then never played it again but i liked worrior with in and to thrownes though
