Famous and important games that made you throw down the controller.

[SMOKEMNHALO2001]

For me Star Wars: The Force Unleashed! That whole game made yell WTF!?!

 

[Axolotl]

Currently MGS2 has made me hurl away the controller by making me give sniper support to someone with all the survival instinct of a lemming.

Gears of War, the final boss on the hardest difficulty. I have yet to pick that game back up.

Ninja Gaiden II, pretty much every boss.

Morrowind, when I spend 5 minutes slashing at a bat I expect to hit it at least ONCE!

And the original release of DMC 3, fighting Agni & Rudra on Hard.

EDIT: Oh, and HL2: Episode 2, when I carried the gnome all the way to the rocket, and watched it lift off without realizing you had to put the thing IN the rocket to get the achievement.

Couldn't you have just reloaded a save?

By the time I realized that I needed to put it on the rocket, the game had already autosaved, and my last save was about an hour from the end.

Pretty much any Zelda... so many obscure puzzles.

Also Metal Gear Solid, but not because it's hard.

 

[whyarecarrots]

Half Life 2: Episode 2 - How could you? You bastards, fuck you. Now give me episode three.

I felt that after both HL2 and Episode 1, although that was made easier by having bought the orange box, so a few hours downloading was the only wait I had.
YOu have to hand it to Valve though, Episode 2 was a great ending in terms of developing further interest in the game

The whole first level of Deus Ex. A wonderfully impossible barrier to a great game.

I'm currently trying to play Deus Ex, and just can;t get past that first level. It just seems to throw you into a place with insufficient combat skills and equipment, no real idea of where you're supposed to go and just leave you. I;ve tried twice now and really have no motivation to try again.

I don't think it was a yell "fuck off" moment, but this was definitely a "what the hell" moment.

The story line to Bioshock was amazing, I was really engrossed in it but the last boss just felt like resident evil all over again, huge let down.

 

[Brokkr]

Every moment playing The Force Unleashed. Damn camera.

 

[ZantetsukenQ]

Ninja Gaiden Sigma. I actually had so much trouble with the new boss added for the Rachael scenarios. The guy with the guns and glasses. Sorry I forgot the fellas name. My brother then proceeded the kill the guy with fuck all effort. *sigh*

For an actual event involving the throwing of my controller, it would have to be for the Original Devil May Cry. I seriously love that game, but holy crap the 3rd encounter with Nightmare on Dante Must Die mode was too much. Oh how I did curse.

And the original release of DMC 3, fighting Agni & Rudra on Hard.

Don't get me started on the ridiculous difficulty of that game. Amazing game at that, but fuck, blister and frustration 'o' clock.

 

[Fightbulb]

Veteran mode on COD4. I got about a third of the way through, then I realised I could also be doing something that's actually fun. Seriously, fuck that bullshit.

 

[Mnemophage]

God of War. Hades. I rarely lose control enough to throw things, but I was fuming for a long while after that.

I don't know if this counts, but I blew my voice playing Rock Band 2. Being as I'm the only one I know who actually likes doing the vocals, not to mention a natural alto and capable of doing both male and female-voiced songs at least capably well, I was kept constantly performing by eager friends until one day my voice just quit on me in the middle of Pinball Wizard.

 

[mokes310]

Assasins Creed. I knew nothing about the franchise before I rented it, and when I finished, I just about put my controller through the wall...then I learned that it's part of a trilogy.

 

[Darth Marsden]

Jak 2, Jak 3, the fact that there isn't a Jak 4!

Patience...

I've been getting incredibly frustrated with the Sonic levels on Sonic Unleashed - getting those S ranks is hard at times. I also hate the Werehog level with the whirlpools. Fucking hate it.

Pussy. It is amazingly hard but when you get that lost ************ on the plane, the feeling is amazing. Just looking at your achievements and seeing Call of duty 4: Modern Warfare 1000G. Its great, to say the very, very least.

 

[SteveDave]

Fable 2s ending.

 

[blood77]

There were some parts of MGS4 that really made me want to hit a wall. Like the fact that killing the Gekos is an extremely annoying task up until the part where you get the rail gun. The third charge on that this kills them in one shot, a fact that I found out after passing the end of the level before you fight Vamp where there are three of the dang things right next to each other.

 

[smithy1234]

Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, Ganondorf was way too easy.

 

[huppis]

Somewhere around the time Final Fantasy VIII told me to insert Disc 3 I realized "I've been waiting for this game to get good, and it ain't gonna." I soldiered on anyway and sure enough, the game earned its place in my all-time Bottom 25.

When I got the last castle in the game I just knew I'd never finish the game. I put down the controller, and never played that abortion again. I mean, the game penalizes you for winning battles. Yeah, thanks Square, great fucking design. And my gripes don't really end there (wow Squall, saying "..." all the time makes you soooo deep), but really, I just want to forget the game ever existed.

Nice graphics though.
