Games that stress you the f&@% out!

[Rathands]

Monster Hunter. If they'd sort the camera, invisible edges on the environment and MASSIVE boxes around some of the enemies (Plesioth I'm glaring at you), then I wouldn't have anything to complain about while fighting and would likely burst from a build up of undirected rage.

I agree with Crash Bandicoot- those games could be little hernia makers. Especially the PS2 one if only for the loading screens.

The first crackdown. I just needed one more freakin orb!!! Braid was extremely stressful since I decided not to use a walkthrough so it took me like a week to beat it.

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!

Nothing... because it's just a game... and I don't let it get to me...

Now if you need me I'll be psychotically playing Ikaruga, try9ing to get past level 3... and if that sounds sad to you, get the demo and try and beat the first level mr. hot shot

The new AVP, pyramid map, aliens stick to the walls and spam their unblockable heavy tail attacks. Mother F***er!

Pretty much every multiplayer for any game, ever, with the sole exception of Bad Company 2. Particular games that come to mind are any CoD, TF2, Halo, Dawn of War, Company of Heroes, Supcom...seriously, any game with multiplayer. If it weren't so damn fun to beat other people I probably wouldn't play them it at all.

SUPEEEERRRRR MEEEEAT BOYYYYYYYY


that game was made by lucifer and cthulhu's love child

 

[Numb1lp]

Any of the first three Crash Bandicoot games used to make me rage like nothing else.

One life left... just got to make this jump... avoid the traps... ohfuckingspinnybladeBOLLOCKS.

And when you die in the first one, you have to go all the way back to the last f*cking boss...

Oh, and the AC series. Especially when you're trying to climb something and the Templars throw rocks at you. Why the hell would they carry around rocks?

 

[Nimcha]

Any online FPS... >.> I freak out over every little mistake I make, and I make a lot.

 

[velcrokidneyz]

New Vegas. So much to do, so little time.

thats my issue, then i get overwhelmed and dont finish, same happened for fallout 3 and oblivion. somehow i was able to do morrowind more easily

 

[Twuk]

The Megaman series, including both X and Zero series. I love them to death, but boy am I terrible at them. Platformers in general tend to stress me out for some reason.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Multiplayer games have their occasional stress moments. A lot sometimes, when I have a bad day.

As for singleplayer games, there's Amnesia: Dark Descent, but then again that's supposed to stress you out. And...well, that's pretty much it.

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

Do it on Easy, grab a pump-action shotgun (most satisfying gun in the game if you ask me) and put this on:
Or if you're feeling really angry, grab a guitar as melee weapon and put this on:
All of a sudden the game will be the exact opposite, a delicious stress reliever. Don't forget to put it on Easy of course, you don't want your mad murder spree suddenly stopped.

 

[PortalParadox]

Fucking S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Just knowing that at any time, an enemy can, and probably will come out of nowhere and kill me in one shot puts me on edge.

Also, "Your gun has jammed".
FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

 

[Ashcrexl]

i played such an intense game of starcraft ii yesterday that i was starving by the time i was finished.

but the original resident evil on anything other than beginner is hella stressful. oh no, i have no ink ribbons, havent saved in an hour, SHIT zombie around the corner did not see him, run away got to turn around first because i cant just run in the opposite direction fucking tank controls, ok got it OHSHIT another zombie! SHIIIIIIIIIT!!!

 

[pyrosaw]

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year door: I don't want to fight him, run ,run, dammit!

Saints Row 2: F@#* your stupid racing side missions!

 

[NooNameLeft]

SMB.
must... get... this bloody bandage...

 

[shadyh8er]

Devil May Cry 3. Or as I like to call it, the Carpal Tunnel Factory.

 

[pat34us]

Let's see, I get pissed/stressed a lot.

Black ops (online) it's laggy and I have getting shot in the back.
Demon's Souls (I can't believe no one mentioned it yet)
Gran Turismo 5 (stupid tests mostly)

 

[Dimensional Vortex]

The Witcher, it's not the game itself that stresses me out but the fact that it has frequent freezing issues and graphical glitches on my computer. Also any game I download from steam near the end of the month (when my downloads are slow) takes days to finish, seriously right now I'm downloading a game at about 18 kb/s if someone has a fix please tell me.

 

[Fleaman]

Dead Rising 2 oh my god psychopath immune frames I don't have TIME to be losing to you fffffuuuuuuuuuuu

 

[DarkTraveller]

Any of the "core" Mario games can do it, the new Donkey Kong Country too
