Games that stress you the f&@% out!

[SomeLameStuff]

Heroes of Newerth, Defence of the Ancients, League of Legends...

"Right, I'll just clear up this wave of creeps and... hang on, where's the enemy tea-WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

 

[Jacksoni]

Amnesia dark descent. At the same time its really scary and extremely stressing

 

[RoboTaisen]

Mostly it's every Tekken game after 3. Having to fight the unbelievably over-powered, supernatural bosses at the end.

Tekken 5 with Jinpachi was bad enough with his Stomach-burst of death

But Tekken 6 with Azazel was where it got to me, I was playing on my psp and he filled up 75% of the damn screen! I could BARELY see where my guy was,let alone land attacks on the huge monstrosity, he can block my attacks whenever he felt like it and you can't tell if he's blocking it because he doesn't have any blocking stance animations.

...and this was on EASY! RAAAAAGE!!!!

Pretty simple, what games stress you out? Bonus points if they really shouldn't be stressing you out, or are ones that won't be mentioned 1000 times (I imagine Starcraft 2 stresses quite a few people out)

For me, it's Pikmin for the Gamecube. I recently tried it again, and it still stresses me the f--k out. I know the time limit is more than enough, I know I'll be able to get all the parts in time, but the fact that there is a time limit that means I could play the ENTIRE GAME and LOSE at the end just stresses me out!

Actually, it's something similar for me. It's not the whole game, but just some parts of it. In Pikmin, it's the Distant Spring--I hate walking around with large groups of Pikmin due to the insane amounts of water and Bulbears. If I can't complete most of the spring before the Bulbears respawn, I get seriously stressed out just because I absolutely despise fighting those things. The Cannon Beetles I don't mind as much, but they're still a pain to fight, especially when trying to minimize Pikmin deaths.

But what really stresses me out the most ifs the Submerged Castle from Pikmin 2. Even though I know how to fool the Waterwraith, it doesn't make going down that hole any less stressful, mostly because of the music and instant-kill electricity traps. Going in with a team of blues--the worst fighters and slowest workers--doesn't help at all in the slightest. Stupid goddamn underwater palace...

Goddamn you you stupid fucking piece of worthless shit meat! Die in a fire!

Super Meat Boy pretty much.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Any stealth game.

Any RTS.

 

[OakTaooper]

Any stealth game.

This I must agree with... Mainly they stress me out because I fail miserably while I play them...

for the same exact reasons you stated, my stress game is Majora's Mask. I couldn't even finish that game because of the looming clock, slowly and, menacingly ticking away my time. I knew there was the song you learn really early on that slows the flow of time. I know you can reset your time but that didn't help. I beat one of maybe two dungeons but I never stuck around after for the side quests. That game really, REALLY stressed me out. Stupid time limits...

I never finished that game either, the time limit just seemed to be an annoying gimmick, I don't understand why people love that one.

PvPing in EVE Online is probably what stresses me out the most from my games. The risk gets to me a little.

 

[Ordinaryundone]

Commandos 2. Nothing like getting 45 minutes into a level, and pressing the wrong action thanks to a stupidly convoluted control scheme and watching it all go to hell.

 

[Knusper]

Super Meat Boy - I reckon I have become more stressed since getting that game...

 

[LiftYourSkinnyFists]

I rage at every game.

 

[k-ossuburb]

QWOP.

Run you lame-legged freak! No, don't go backwards, go forwards! A somersault? Why? What kind of Jackie Chan shit do you think you're pulling? Don't do that... oh look, now your arm is broken. That's what you get for being a jackass.

 

[Inner Pickle]

Left 4 Dead 2 on realism. Any Hunter/Smoker/Charger and I need to stop and have a cigarette before continuing.

 

[FernandoV]

Bioshock. I want to find everything but I'm scared of laughing splicers

 

[Jonci]

Left 4 Dead 2. After a campaign in that game, I feel as burned out as the characters must feel.

 

[Jumpingbean3]

Smackdown vs Raw 2011. Road to Wrestlemania, 'vs Undertaker' story. Final match, fighting Undertaker and Wrestlemania.

He reverses everything and never stays the fuck down. Seriously. I finisher him and only get a fucking 2-count then he's straight back up and taking me to the fucking cleaners.

I had a similar experience in the last match of Chris Jericho's storyline the first time round but that was probably because I was too preoccupied with throwing Triple H out of the cell combined with the fact that Jericho can't run for more than 3 seconds before he tires out.

For me the most frustrating part of SVR 2011 was the first match with Triple H after Elimination Chamber. For those who don't know the idea is to deliberately get yourself disqualified or counted out. As an experiment I fought HHH for about a half hour, delivering more finishers then I'd ever done before and I couldn't beat him clean and after I finally gave in and got myself DQ'd after that epic struggle Michael Cole still had the nerve to say "Chris Jericho didn't even try".

Exactly.

As for me, Super Meat Boy, fighting games (Hayabusa or Hayate beat me in DOA4 about 40 times in a row and I didn't win a single round). Certain levels of FPS's on the hardest difficulty (the last level in Halo Reach, the one where you have to run past a bazillion Russians in Modern Warfare 2). But those are mainly rage. As for stressing out, Amnesia: The Dark Descent has me in a sweat, cowering in the corner (in the game), taking a break every 5-10 minutes and so scared I feel like crying.
