Posted January 1, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 1, 2008 Super Ghouls and Ghosts is just a BITCH. That game is pure evil I swear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 1, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 1, 2008 Pro Evolution Soccer 4, 5, 6 and 2008. Guitar Hero II & III, when I can't get 5* on the last song on Expert! WWE SvR08, they take so long to get up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 1, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 2, 2008 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). 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.

Posted January 3, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 9, 2008 A lot of 'old school games' can have 'that' type of difficulty to em, R-Type and Super Ghouls and Ghosts (as mentioned) being prime example, love em but hate em! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 11, 2008 Most recently: Elite Beat Agents! Argh, I've slammed my DS shut and hammered the "regroup" option so much that its a wonder the screen isn't cracked. Great wee game though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 13, 2008 I don't get pissed at a game, that is just silly. Fustrated, maybe, but never pissed and especially never at the point where I would break/damage something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 13, 2008 Counter-Strike is my enemy Call Of Duty 4 when played in split-screen induces tourettés in both me and my friends. Especially when I decide to drop claymores inside the 3 covered areas of Shipment, and then call in an airstrike... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 14, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 6, 2008 Command and Conquer's, online games in general 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
