Angriest you've ever been at a game.

There are several.
The end of KoToR II because...wow, did it suck. I mean, the whole game was a massive spasm of sucking, but the end made the rest of the game feel like a pleasing massage in comparison.
NWN 2 has a pretty bad ending too. You save the day, everything is happy.
Then a fucking wall falls on you and kills you.
But the angriest piece of level design would have to be nar-shadaar 1 in jedi knight 2 (I think?) It's the level where you are first a jedi in the game. And it's about a kilometer long and wall to wall freaking snipers. Every time you turn a corner, some asshat snipes you.

I LOVED that game, havn't thought about it for ages, any idea where i can find copy?elimob441 said:
God yes. I absolutely hate escort missions, even if they make sense for the story. This is usually remedied by making the guy you're escorting enough of a badass that he doesn't die in a stiff wind (Like in Crysis. I can't think of any other examples at the moment...)arcstone said:
The level in God of War where you protect your wife and kid from the thousand other Kratos still pisses me off. Basically, any kind of fight that feels like luck has a bigger part to play than you're own skill (in this case, the luck of whether your escortee bites it or not, and how soon)
Other than that, Gears of War continually pisses me off in that it won't play. In fact, my newer comp seems to have a lot of issues running games, with the strangest and most frustrating one being Knights of the old Republic, which worked for awhile before giving me a one-finger salute. (KoTOR2 works fine. Just to screw with me, I think)
Well, I've never really gotten angry AT a game. But there was a time I really got angry BECAUSE of a game. I was trying to play FF9 on an emulator on my PC. It worked flawlessly. Up to a certain cut scene during which the emulator kept crashing. Eventually, I gave up on trying to solve the problem myself and started looking on the net if anyone else had the problem. Turns out everyone else had the problem. And there was nothing to be done about it either, because the buggy emulator version was the only one available for Linux. I came close to punching a hole into a nearby wall. Although, I have punched holes in a few walls when I'm angry. So it doesn't compare to some serious moments of anger, just the usual moment of anger I have.
super mario world, in the 'SPECIAL' area above the starroad... the (was it second or third level?) where you have to fly through the whole level with the balloons, and once you get hit, its over... try again. i spend my childhood get through that level... and still today, i don't dare plug my snes on for the ballon-thing-level.
I like to think I've become a stable enough person not to get truly angry over a game anymore, but such was not always the case. When you are 7 years old Super Mario Land's final levels seem like a journey unto the bowels of hell, especially when game over boots you back to the very beggining of World 1-1. Repeated game overs to the final boss' crazy missile pattern led to the only time in memory I have physically destroyed a gaming console or game. Needless to say it did not go over well with the folks.
Not in terms of difficulty, but today heavy lagging in today's online games where I know my connection is perfectly fine never fails to make me seethe. Same goes for online morons who only log on to make the game miserable for others. But whenever I come to the point where I am under the impression that trashing the computer will somehow show it and them my displeasure, I remind myself of poor old Game Boy and laugh it up.

You, weren't, by any chance, playing the tutorial and not the actual game. Either that or you have a bugTheMadDoctorsCat said:
And for the reccord sir, Rome is one of the finest games ever crafted by humans.
I got so pissed off at that stupid f'ing flying thing in Shadow of the Colossus on Hard i smashed my newly bought PS2 control on the floor 'til only one side could vibrate anymore, then just threw it across the room and pulled the power out of my PS2...that was the last time i played Shadow of the Colossus, and that was about a year and a half ago.
It's mostly sports games that piss me off, because gaming developers still haven't figured out how to make a competitive sports A.I. without it being cheap dickheads. I mean, I play a baseball game, and if I'm winning, all of a sudden every pitch I throw gets fucking hit 6 miles. Playing Madden, if I'm up by more than 2 touchdowns, all of a sudden Tom Brady turns into Tim Couch and can't hit anybody unless they've got the other team's jersey on.
One time playing Mortal Kombat 4, I almost beat the highest difficulty, only to lose to the final boss after kicking his ass for the first 90% of the fight. I threw my controller across the room.

Mafia... most sandbox games... like GTA they used to really piss me off... although the feeling of being really ticked off and then finally completing or achieveing what ever it was that annoyed you, you feel phenomenal. I dont get as annoyed as i used to... i usually just turn the console or stop playing in an angry cursing sulk and play something else... until i am ready to try again.
When I was like ten I was playing Mortal Kombat: Deception, theres a part in the game where you lose all of your powers and have to do a fight. I got so pissed off at that game... i was practically going crazy. Of the many things I did, I specifically recall: kicking my legs back and forth really fast, scratching my face, crying, screaming, and holding the off button on the ps2 for longer than necessary to say the least. Pretty much threw a 3 year old temper tantrum. The most I ever do now is slam my fist down and yell a cuss word.
Aladdin for the Sega Genesis (Jump, jump, jump, miss, killed by guard, start the level over. Jump, jump, jump, jump, miss, killed by guard, start the level over). An exercise in "controller snapping frustration."
Any RPG without frequent auto-save and genuinely quick quick-save (I get immersed, and nothing ruins my buzz like stopping my Conan-like rampage to save the game). I think the last one that did this was KOTOR2, although NWN2 is fighting for the crown.

"Dance, water, dance!"
Dude, seriously. How has no one mentioned the one phrase that will make any Kingdom Hearts II player seethe with unbridled rage yet?
I'm normally pretty mellow about games that pull frustrating stuff, but the fight with Demyx in KHII is the *only* thing that has ever caused me to send a controller to an untimely meeting with the floor.

YES OMG. I actually threw my controller at the wall in frustration with Jinpachi because even with the fastest character on there (which could literally be anyone if you're good enough with their moveset) he'd cut you off and fire off two of those chest blasts IN A ROW. That sorta thing is a ONE SHOT AT A TIME ONLY sorta thing! I was playing as Hwoarang and just ... alsdkjfa;slkfjalskdfj;lksd HATE JINPACHI. For unlocking other characters, I pretty much had to put him on easy and even then he was a cheap bastard.ElArabDeMagnifico said:

I punched my gameboy into submission over Fire Emblem 2 (look, you get all the way to the last level in the ruins with the 7 draco zombies and beat it w/o saving and the game crashes?! I quit FE after that).
