Games that make you want to break your controller/swear.


Recommended Posts

Tell us of the games that have driven you to insantiy and of any experiences you have had when you get really angry with a game.

 

Super Monkey Ball on the Wii was very frustrating and made me want to throw my Wii remote at the wall many times. I did shout some double-dutch at my 7 year old cousin when I lost once, which I kinda regret...

 

While playing Mario Strikers I would always shout out "F*cker", when someone gained an advantage in an online match.

 

When I was around 8 years of age, I could not beat Wendy O'Koopa in Super Mario Bros 3, so I decided to let my rage loose on my glass of orange juice, which resulted in a sticky carpet and an early bedtime for me.

 

Super Mario Sunshine was a bloody frustrating game, especially when they took FLUDD away from you. Never did get all the shines.

 

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. I don't think it's a very hard game, but I couldn't finish one of the levels once, and I had been banging and clapping for a lifetime, so I got really annoyed and just punched my pillow for a while (possibly thinking it was Donkey Kong or the game creator lol).

 

There are many SNES games that frustrated me, but I can't remember them at the moment.

Ghosts n' Goblins, Ghouls n' Ghosts, they're very hard and frustrating games, but I didn't play them enough to be angry.

 

Now for personal experiences where I actually got quite angry:

 

-Super Mario Sunshine: The...friggin...Blue Coins. They killed my Shine search.

 

-Super Smash Bros. Melee: The Very Hard All-Star Mode. The CPUs possess perfect execution and perfect double-teams. Very irritating.

 

-Fire Emblem: I'm almost beating a hard chapter, when one enemy gains a Critical Hit. Or when an axeman kills a swordsman with a 3% hit chance...

 

-Pokémon Stadium 1/2: That filthy CPU cheats. My Thunders miss when I most need them. Their Thunders are Critical Hits most of the time. Such underhanded tactics made me almost rip the pillows around me in half.

 

Those are the ones I remember right now.

Cod 4 - whenever I play Amubush I get camped right back into my base. Which is when the airstrikes and grenades begin to rain down, and I can't last 2 seconds before dying. Argh!. Also on the same game, when everyone throws arbitary grenades on the same level, halfway across the map that kill me randomly.

LOL!

Events that spring to mind are:

 

1. Unlocking the Master levels (Master Level 3 - argh) in the original Super Monkey Ball for GC.

2. Every other moment in every other Super Monkey Ball game.

 

Let's all spare a thought for those poor souls who persevered long enough to get the fabled 9999 Play Points - achieved by finishing Expert, Expert Extra and Master levels (70 rock hard levels) in one go without losing a single life.

Almost every game makes me mad at some point.

 

Anything with bad programing really makes me mad though. For instance if you land on the edge of a platform but the game thinks you just missed it.

 

Also the older castlevania games when an enemy hits you and you fall into a pit.

 

Oh and when I die in kid icarus.

F-Zero GX. When I finally won the finally GP on the hardest difficult, I very nearly came. The Arcade story mode meanwhile, remain some kind of perverse monstrosity that only drugged super-freaks can complete on hard or higher.

 

Holy crap, I forgot F-Zero GX.

 

Story Mode Mission 7 on Very Hard:

 

 

-70% of the track are stage hazards;

 

-20% of the track is extremely thin and/or doesn't have ledges;

 

-Only one short recovery point;

 

-Plenty of hard curves;

 

-The other racers are out for YOUR blood;

 

-Blackshadow is unbeatable. If you don't kill him early, you'll never catch up with him.

 

 

I still don't know how I beat it, but I recall that day where I felt happier than ever.

 

Mission 5 is also hard, but not nearly as frustrating.

F-Zero GX is a bitch. Me and my brother just haven't beat mission 7 and the one where you race against Deathborn on very hard.

 

I spend countless time on mission 5 on very hard. That damned final door was frustrating as hell. Just when I thought I beat it, I crashed on it.

 

Having all endings also consume me much time and can be quite frustrating.

Command and Conquer's, online games in general :D

Yeah....the C&Cs end up being annoying because people are too quick, or have too much of an advantage with certain things etc.

The Araura (?sp?) on C&C Generals is cheap as fuck!!!

 

 

Mario Bros 3. - Hard, Hard, Hard.

New Super Mario Bros. - You get past a hard bit, then lose before a save point.
