X-wing Alliance- I actually punched my monitor off my desk, destroying it. Of course I bought a new monitor...so I could finish the mission that got me all pissed off to begin with.
Ahh! Thats not all. Sonic 2 Battle, Sonic Heros, any other Sonic games pisses me off so much. I got so upset at his games so much I throw the remote control at the floor multiple times. :)
Mario Kart and Metroid Prime upsets me too...Im sure thats it. Yep!
"The Driver" mission in GTA: Vice City. It's the last racing mission in the game against a cheating, cheating opponent. He starts in a better car, the cops are only targeting YOU and he takes corners like he's on rails. An all-around frustration and enraging experience that made me quit the game more than once.
Probably when, for some quirk of logic or simply a quick hand movement, something, SOMETHING out there decided that I WOULD (God dammit!) save in the middle of D.C in Fallout 3, not forgetting the one bar of health and the fact that two Super Mutant Brutes were concentrating their fire to transform me into something resembling BRAIN MUSH. I ran towards them, (rapid hand movements again), hit them with a tire iron, in the vain hope they would take pity, and maybe let me GO FREE. Unfortunately, I never had time to test this theory as a Raider hit me in the back of the head with a sniper. Dammit.
And then the game froze. I was silent. For a while.
Peggle. I just can't handle it man. How are you meant to win at a game where you've got no control over the ball after you've fired it? I'm not Stephen Hawking and I can't work out where it's guna go after like the second bounce. Fuck you Popcap games.
Aw man, I remember trying to beat Kurt Zisa from the original Kingdom Hearts over and over and over again. Ever time I came close, he would just pull out another move that destroyed half my HP in one hit. I finally beat him, get nothing, and.... then came the Phantom.
Pshyco. Fucking. Mantis.
From MGS1. For tose of you who don't know what Im talking about (all three of you) you had to change the controller port the controller was connected to from port 1 to 2 to be able to hurt him.
Making you do that is not clever, it's cheap! After months (yes, months. We didn't have the internet back in 1999)of attempts my English speaking friend came over, moced me for my "idiocy" and told me the "obvious" solution to succeed.
How mad was I at the game? Well, I didn't finish the game until 2007 when I finally forgave it for being a total prick.
when i first played far cry 2 it was so gad damn annoying when those army bases shot you when you were about to complete a mission or when a car ran you over therefore killing you. :(
I get angry alot when I am getting my ass kicked. The most pissed I've ever gotten when playing a game was when i got pretty far into Soul Calibur III and my file got corrupted. I spent hours trying to get as far as I got before, but the file go corrupted again. I never played the game again
Seth - Street Fighter IV. An inevitable pain in the ass waiting at the end of every single arcade game you play, which makes you not want to play it. Way to go to make a fun, fighting game into a joyless, soul-destroying chore.
Mario Kart Wii - Blue Shell. When being the best is considered reason enough for severe punishment. Generally about one corner before the finish line on your last lap.
And one for the veterans: The Last Ninja 2 on Commodore 64. Level 4. The first screen. All you had to do, in principle, was jump across three or four boxes. Not making a jump equalled death. In principle, doesn't seem so hard. In reality, every little nudge and twist and angle I could muster from my big black Quickfire Joystick generally resulted in me doing a somersaulting miss from one box to the next. Over and over. (The good news was that, passed this, Level 5 had a giant fan you had to walk BACKWARDS through, one step at a time, in order to progress. FUN TIMES WERE HAD FIGURING THAT OUT, he exclaimed, each word dripping with miserable sarcasm.)
Gears of War 2. That Glitch in the cave where the light didn't come on had me screaming "The mother f*cking developers excpect me to drive around in a dark-a** cave?!", many other insults, 2+ hours of trying to get through the cave, and me starting a new file.
Definitely the optional boss in... OH CRAP... I cant remember; well one of the final fantasy bosses that took 12 F*CKING HOURS...needless to say I wasted my life that day... i'm so ashamed...
back in the day I rented Test Drive for the Xbox. It did this thing when you pressed down on the gas that made you spin out, you also span (?) out when you hit another car. At first it was a minor annoyance, in the later races when I had retried millions of time, one more spin was too much. Frustration does not begin to describe being in first, being rear ended by a car, spinning out then spinning out again when you hit the gas. Fuck that game. I ejected that shit and scratched it on the wall. They made me pay for it : (
Mines defiantly gotta be CoD 4 multiplayer. I would get so mad when people use stopping power and deep impact to kill me in two shots. Especially when they would camp in a corner and wait for me to run by it drove me crazy
Theres one obvious one to mention here Ninja Gaiden II, but hey I brought that for the exact reason of it punishing me, a less obvious one is Soul Calibur III. The really annoying Chronicles of the Sword is in my mind stupidly unbalenced going from incredibly easy fights to pad snapping ones. My parents heard me screaming at a guy dressed as a pink knight hitting me with tamborines over and over.
I havent destroyed a controller in MANY years, back in the day tho me and my sister, playing the orignal super mario borthers on NES, we used to get so mad at the game and slam the controllers into the wooden coffee table. my parents to this day stil have the table adn every time i see it all gouged to shit i think of how pissed we used to get at that game. i still have my nes too and the controllers are all broken on the edges of them from it.
i made a dent in my wall after playing super street fighter 2 turbo hd remix after being grabbed over and over by T-Hawk and having my ass handed to me online...i think i've broken 3 controllers in total playing street fighter games but somehow i still love playing them :D
My family and I were just about to go to a food festival (multiple cheese = I'm there.), and we were just about to set off when a cutscene started on MGS2, which I was playing at the time.
After trying to skip it (seriously, WHERE IS THE SKIP BUTTON?) for a while, I reasoned that it would only last a couple of minutes.
After 5 minutes, the bomb disposal guy was delving into his psyche through the international language of photo montages, and in the background I swear I could hear glaciers moving, my life gradually ticking away, and Raiden slowly beginning to weep. Dad came up, because he was getting a little worried. I silently yearned for the Tanker level, where the cutscenes longer than 5 minutes had the excuse of being ever so badass.
Dad slowly got angrier. I got more and more humiliated by the whole debacle. Bomb disposal guy was talking about cologne, or something. My mind slowly tried to gnaw parts of itself off in a futile escape attempt in the manner of a trapped coyote. I snapped, turned it off, went into the sunlight and enjoyed the food festival. And what was the reward I got for having to sit through that cutscene again?
