Games that have caused you to throw your controller

[Gilhelmi]

What Games have made you throw your controller.

I was playing Fire Emblem: the sacred stones on hard (after beating it on normal), and after playing the same map 15 times, I always seemed to lose a character. Now, I am not a violent person normally but I had thrown my DS across the room.

I can think of many examples right off the bat but right now I am tearing my hair out over a sequence in the new Aliens Versus Predator game. Specifically playing from the Alien's side I have found myself stuck in a small room leading to a vent that then ends at a rather large cylindrical room that forces air straight up and pushes you to the ceiling and kills you. And my objective is at the bottom of that room, the objective just says:
Get down the ventilation shaft
Yet I have no idea what to do and there's nothing in the adjecent room that can help me.

I tell you, it makes me mad because of how fun the game had been previously, I really wish there weren't moments like that in games.

Ahhhhh got that out of my system, now I can rest a bit.

Super Mario Galaxy. My quest for every star led to a bit of rage gaming.

You want some help? There are vent openings in that wind chamber. For some reason you can jump to and you aren't effected by the wind. I like that level it reminds me of A3.

Uncharted 1 and 2 on crushing. Some sections were "crushing".

i have yet to throw anyhting in anger yet, as i like money too much. although this one JRPG was so annoying it reduced me to tears. seriously, who makes two whole levels with no checkpoints? i would've had to do about 3 bosses again if i hadn't given up there and then.

As a pc gamer it has to be the resi 4 pc port the mouse control was horrible and i ended up ripping the mouse wire out of the actual mouse

Quite a few, more recently Darksiders.

However, I play sitting on my bed, so the controller lands quite securely.

 

[one of them]

The first month of Halo 2.
Everyone was so good, and I was so bad... everytime I got a kill I screamed in happiness but then when I died shortly after I would beat my controller on the ground.
Luckily I'm over that now, and Halo is far behind me. I still rage at L4D2 and sometimes TF2 though. I usually slam my fist into the desk real hard, or hit my punching bag with a Wiffle Ball Bat.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I don't throw the controller. I throw the game.

You threw it across the room? Did it survive the trip?

 

[PureAussieGamer]

ghosts and goblins on the NES took me like a year to get to the boss and when i did i found out i had to go threw the game again before i clocked it.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Soul Caliber 3. I hate borderless fighting arenas.

 

[BlindMessiah94]

I never understood people that throw controllers. I have a friend who got killed by a wandering grenade in halo and threw his controller at his tv smashing both to bits. He kept failing at a song on rockband and flipped the drums and threw his sticks.

Why the fuck would you play a game if it would make you rage that much? Honestly, if anyone is getting that upset over something that trivial you need to take a good look at yourself. Being that violent over something so silly screams anger management to me. I'd hate to be around someone like that if something actually worth getting angry over happened. They'd probably go on a murderous rampage.

 

[JEBWrench]

Rygar. Because dying meant so much grind-tastic fun.

 

[wizzerd229]

the conduit, the wii is not made for fps's

 

[Robert632]

most rage inducing one was Metriod prime 2. Fuck the boost guardian.

 

[azzamatazz]

every Wii game i've ever played

 

[fishman279]

Football manager on the PC. I HATED losing on that game, especially with your best team out, it seemed like it was SUPPOSED to be impossible.

And also MW2, mainly on the level in that log-house where the guys keep showing up non-stop for like 10 minutes on Veteran. (The trick is to hide behind the sofas, no-one sees you and you get at LEAST 5 shots on any enemy coming into the house before they see who's shooting them)

A Rayman game for the gamecube. There was one boss fight on a tiny raised platform, getting knocked off meant you'd fall in lava, the limited-time powerup needed to defeat the boss was hanging on the edge of the arena and every time you went to get the powerup, he'd send homing fireballs along the side of the arena while your climbing speed and meant that near-perfect timing was needed to evade them or else you'd get knocked in the lava.

If the lava was instakill, it would have been merciful. But no, you could get back up the side of the arena by jumping while those homing fireballs are now circling the bottom. Just try to imagine the frustration from a bullshit boss fight with an even worse gimmick(the whole powerup system was bullshit) and hours of repeated attempts of getting back on the platform just so I could continue with the goddamn game.

I finally stopped playing when I threw my controller against the wall and broke it. If it was my game I would have destroyed that too, but it wasn't and the game actually ruined my enjoyment of platformers for a few years.
