When Has A Game Made You Angry??

[endplanets]

Dead Rising 1. Trying to get the "save 95% of the survivors challenge". Going great, saving everyone nothing big. Notice that one of the timers has finished like 20 seconds before I get to the safe room but it was not a main mission so I don't care and since the game expects me to have and HD tv I cannot read the text at all, not even a little. Save the game, and then find out that the side mission was "get fat guy food or he takes half the others to get food (which I had on me) and they all die" and since Dead Rising has only 1 god damn save slot everything is gone.

I honestly don't see how people could get mad at MW2.

BC2, that's different, that game can either be amazing or coma enduing rage.

 

[The Apothecarry]

Jackal snipers in Halo 2 on Legendary.

Jackal Snipers in anything on Legendary, my good man.

I've raged at any multiplayer in Call of Duty except for Modern Warfare 1.

Brink. One giant ragefest.

 

[Mordekaien]

Gothic 1.
Non opening doors at the end of the game.

But seriously if you want to know just politely ask and I will politely tell under the condition you can let someone have an opposing opinion.

This has piqued my interest

Well if you insist, mind you this is a copy and paste from a previous comment that I feel is written well enough:

Essentially I made a forum topic describing how I felt when the game Mass Effect 2 revealed Canada had been annexed by the States. Now while authors and such describe similar events happening to other nations, their own, and such all the time, even to Canada. This has never bugged me before, I have played a lot of Fallout and nothing ever good happened to Canada there. For reasons I cannot fathom it "really" hurt when it came from Mass Effect. I expressed this and I was torn down, ridiculed, and outright insulted en-masses. Now while like anything fictitious I got over it quite easily, it was peoples reactions that still befuddle and hurt me to this day.

What say you?

Im Australian....that pretty much sums it up

we are the more ignored group on the globe...the biggest mention we ever get in a game is maybe a random soldiers accent being slightly Aus/NZ.

I can understand your feelings on the subject...

i guess from my own point of view it is quite annoying that Australia simply doesnt exist in the future...

or we might just still be chilling down here with our kangaroo's being like WTF mate??....but we'l be dead soon...f**king kangaroos...

haha...hi-five if you get the reference i used

That's interesting - what about that particular "future history" did you find annoying, vs. say, Fallout? Or is it more a gut reaction type thing?

I guess I am really lying only to myself when I say that I do not know but it seams I cannot formulate a statement explaining why it bugged me so much without invoking severe wrath from anybody I talk to.

Trying to get the good ending in Metro:2033. Screw up once and the god-awful autosave "feature" leaves you having to replay the entire game.

Edit: also Fallout BOS's attempts at humor.

Sorry I do not but I would be pleased if you would be willing to dispel my ignorance. Also look on the bright side, in TF2 you guys are pretty much the super humans of the earth.

SAXTON HALE!

World of Goo.
The controls make the game unbelievably hard. I got stuck on the level where you had to use the skeleton goo balls to make a bridge. Everything was going fine until the idiots decided to swarm my last skull as about to pick it up. My whole bridge collapsed just because I wasn't fast enough.

Haha, go for it - I don't think any reasonable person would get angry at you for explaining why something rubbed you the wrong way.

Neverwinter Nights 2:
A short stream of consciousness: Ok, so this one human I found in a den of evil orcs who doesn't seem to know why I'm here is clearly a villain delivering orders to the orcs. Wait, why are my only dialogue options designed to feed him enough information to trick me into thinking he's the messenger I've been sent to find? Why is there no option to second guess why he's in the middle of an orc stronghold and yet clearly not restrained? Right, so now my only dialogue option is to let him go. So now the villain is going to know I'm onto his evil plan and possibly compromise the real messenger. OH NO! THE MAN IN THE ORC STRONGHOLD WAS A BAD GUY! WHAT A TWEEST!

FFX
"Don't tell anyone you're from Zanarkand."
(5 minutes later)
"Star player of the Zanarkand Abes!"

Legendary
When I heard the Wilhelm scream, I turned the game and went to do something else for a few minutes. When I heard the main bad guy use the phrase "Destroy the interlopers!", I took it out of my machine and returned it.

The absolute technical failure that is Civilization V, but that's less making me angry and a lot more making me disappointed. That said, I'd still punch the devs or the people who forced them (if any) to put out a release that's less polished than the alpha stage of most games.

Witcher 2 has made me more pissed off than any other game has in literally all the ones I've played through. The shitty controls and lack of responsiveness from Geralt were just infuriatingly awful, honestly, it was a whole other level of angry that no other game ever approached.

 

[Vakz]

There is going to be a million people who say MW2.

And I agree.

Quite.

 

[MajWound]

Due to a number of circumstances that shuffled around my Live gamertag between a few systems, I lost a lot of achievements in Oblivion. I put my fist through the wall.

Try the latest patch - they tightened up the control aspect a lot. I'd have to agree with you about Witcher 2 having some massively frustrating moments though - I'm personally enjoying the crap out of it, but the game isn't exactly forgiving haha.

Soldier of Fortune.

There was this one mission, I was somewhere in what was once known as Yugoslavia. I rush into a room full of serbian soldiers and shot them all dead.

Except for one.

One of them actually survived because I hit his gun and sent it flying from his hands, leaving him standing there alone and unarmed, cowering, saying "dont shot!".

So I dont shot. I figure the guy is no threat anymore, I do not need to kill him.
And then, suddenly, he reaches in his pocket and flings something at my feet.

A grenade.

I quickly run out of the room, and then come charging back in after the grenade explodes, and empty my clip at the guy.

That event just made me so angry. Not just that the serb tried to kill me, but that the game designers would actually put that in the game. I really WANTED to let the guy live. A first person shooter where you DO NOT NEED to kill everyone would have been something different, something new. But NO. They had to make it so that you MUST kill everyone, even unarmed people. Just in case they try something stupid.

It just made me so very angry.
