Games That Blow Your Gasket

[mjc0961]

Everything about inFamous. Man, there are no words in the universe to adequately explain how much I hate that game. I've written huge rants about the parts that piss me off the most before, so I won't start again now. I'll end up being here another 10 minutes or so writing, and I wanted to get to bed soon.

Command and Conquer 4's constant assumption that I will care about some random woman just because they tell me she's my wife drives me up a wall too. There are other parts of the game that should probably piss me off more, but this one really irritates me for some reason.

Also, the Wii version of Okami has made me rage in a way no other game has. Such broken controls. This is why you need to test your games before selling them! Especially on Wii; they could have fixed it later on 360, PS3, or PC, but it's going to stay a broken, unplayable mess forever because they put it on Wii.

You win one internet sir.

Op: The Collector ship on mass effect 2 on insanity difficulty, i had to get the weapon dlc to beat it....after 50 tries

Soldier+Revenant+Adrenaline Rush = Collector ship a OK. The early stages on Insanity are harder

 

[Tynermeister]

Whiplash. Any part of that game. I don't think I'll ever be able to finish it.

Oh Jebus. I'm getting horrific flashbacks here.^^^

My bad game? Every single aspect of FF-13 that wasn't on Gran Pulse (Which was fantastic). God I get so angry when I think about how much time I wasted on that game.

At the moment, I've quit playing Little Big Planet after I got sick of the electric wheel of death part of a level. I might have given it more trying and probably would've beaten it by now, but when you die 4 times over you have to restart the level.

THAT. Is exactly what happened to me. And I haven't completed the 'story' mode since.
Thanks for the reminder! Argh!

At the moment, the deep roads. So many darkspawn. At least in the fade you get to screw around as a golem for a bit.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

the fade...oh god the FADE

*collapses sobbing to the floor*

OT: I'm trying, for the LIFE of me right now, to get started in FarCry 2. I don't know what it is about it but...I'm only a small, short ways into it at the moment and already I'm feeling like it's dull, lifeless and repetitive.

Haha, share my pain! >:3

Anyone else go mad over that part in SA2Battle with Sonic, you have to change the Gravity, to land on those coloured blocks, on one of his last levels..
" Well Done Sonic, but you'll never leave this room alive.. Hahah! " Grrr... Heard it so many times..

Oh god i was stuck on that level for like 6 months back in the day.

The other thing that annoyed me was fighting the Egg Golem as sonic, he always seemed to double jump and do the homing attack even when i've only pressed the button once. Which lead to me flying off into the sand.

I actually quite liked far cry 2 (for somone who usually avoids "realistic" shooters) I mean it got the imersion thign pretty much down and I acutally felt like I was in africa which was cool

but I didnt manage to finish, I got to a certain point and I still didnt have much of a grasp on the plot also it did get tedious to have to fight off militia EVERY time I want to drive to a mission, I mean that is one way to stop a civil war, just kill EVERYONE in south africa

 

[Brandon237]

I once spent literally an entire day trying to beat general grievous in an old Star Wars game. I NEVER quit just because a game is hard

 

[Captain Underbeard]

CoD: World at War on Veteran difficulty.

The AI plays the game exactly like any sensible online CoD-player does. By spamming grenades. Managable online. In a campaign, it's enough make you want to eat the disc

 

[zfactor]

the fade...oh god the FADE

NOOOOOO! DON'T REMIND ME!

I downloaded a mod that skips the fade after playing through it 15000 times. [insert menaical laughter]

Captcha: "JYJ yeardspe?" How do I keep getting the wierd ones?

So far that wheels kicked my ass 12-14 times now and it just pisses me off.

Beating the level wasn't the hard part. Oh no. Try it without dying even once.
That my friend, gets on your nerves.
After about a month of waiting, I picked it up again. Aced it on the first try. Weird, right?

 

[rockyoumonkeys]

More than just about any other game this generation, Assassin's Creed 2.

It's because I love the game so much that I get so bent out of shape by some of its more tedious moments or mechanics. Missing a jump because my stick wasn't pointed exactly in the right direction, or getting stuck to a ladder while trying to run away, or accidentally leaping off a building because I was too close to the edge or I held the A button a fraction of a second too long. Stuff like that.

And some of the missions are just beyond tedious, like the "Capture the Flag" mission late in the game, or one mission where you have to kill like a dozen guys without being seen, and even if you get caught on the last guy, you have to do the whole mission over again (that's the mission that made me quit this game the first time, after which I lost my data and had to start over from scratch.)

EDIT: And now I'm particularly dispirited after reading someone else's complaints about AC:Brotherhood which makes it sound like the problems I had with AC2 are even worse in AC:B.

The only reason I'm forcing myself through AC2 is so I can move onto Brotherhood, and now my motivation has been decimated.

I could never play Disgaea without wanting to throw the controller into the telly and throw the console out the window for good measure. I can't remember what it was with that game, but my word it made me Little Miss Rampage. My friend, who's game it was, loved it and she couldn't understand my problem.

Also the bugginess of Mass Effect 1 and especially 2. Annoys me to all get out even though I love the games. Like that car chase in 2? I had to fiddle around for 30 minutes to get it to work =/

 

[Lord Doomhammer]

I tried a SLASO run the other day on reach and that kicked my ass pretty hard, but above and beyond all others was Army of 2: the 40th day. Beyond the fact that your character handles like a pile of Jello mounted on stilts who can't take cover quite literally to save his own stupid life. Then there is your AI friend, now I'm no stranger to bad friendly AI's especially since I'm a fan of the halo franchise and its suicidal retard drivers. But SWEET BABY ZOMBIE JESUS! Beyond the unmentionable bad AI, the game is just not fucking fun. I can't point to any one thing in particular that makes it un-fun, but it just isn't.

 

[LorChan]

The Saboteur has been kicking my ass for months now. I had a lot of trouble before Christmas and then got swamped with school, but the kicking my ass part comes from trying to defend my shitty truck with sloppy steering from Nazis. At some point I gave up and started throwing myself off the Eiffel Tower for fun, instead.

 

[mireko]

Mass Effect 2: Horizon. Hardest part of the game, imho.


Valkyria Chronicles 2: There's a boss/enemy who can resurrect dead troops, teleport and OHKO anyone and anything on your team. Oh, and he can switch between an extremely overpowered machine gun and an extremely overpowered sword. Because hey, why not? It's not like he's too powerful or anything.

[small]I swear, if this game tries to make me sympathize with him or gives him a noble death I will rip his pixels out of my PSP and FICTION-FUCK HIM IN THE EYES.[/small]
