Which game or games have frustrated you most?

[IHaveNoCoolness]

Super Ghouls N' Ghosts.

You play that game for hours and/or days memorizing every jump, monster, attack, weapon, etc. You finally reach the end, then you beat the boss and then the game gives you the biggest middle finger ever and tells you that you have to beat it... AGAIN and use this terrible weapon...

Stuff like that should be criminal. Unless it's voluntary, like trying to beat Chrono Trigger with only the character's original lay-outs and weapons.

That game is a love hate relationship... First you love it because it's pretty fun, if hard, then you keep playing and you get tired of it's BS, and then you hate it, but you hate it because you can't beat it and you feel like a chump, then you get really, really good at it and you feel pretty good about yourself and it and you love it again, then you hate it because you beat and have to beat it again with a crappier weapon, but when you finally decide that you can't let the game win and you finally beat it and get the true ending, you totally love it again for it's insane difficulty and making you feel like a pro-star for beating it.

While that game may be one of the games that frustrated me the most, it's also the first time that beating a game actually made me feel proud that I beat it. I honestly felt more achievement beating that game than I did when I won a ribbon at the school track meet for triple jump and the 200m dash. I actually list that as one of my lifetime achievements.

Anyone who has played and beaten that game will agree that it's a worthy achievement to talk about.

SD Gundam Force Showdown. HARDEST AND FRUSTRATING GAME EVER >:[

 

[TheIr0nMike]

Demons Soul.

It took me forever just to beat the first level.

 

[Steppin Razor]

The knife fight in Resident Evil 4. It was late and I was tired but just kept playing anyways because I loved the game. Than out of nowhere it throws in the very definition of a "Press X not to die" QTE.

I dunno I liked that fight...the first time...but only the first time.

After that having to mash buttons at random during cut scenes so I can play the fucking game again pissed me off

 

[CrysisCore]

Ready for this?
Mass Effect.
Indeed the story was great, but there's hardly any action and, of course...
those MOTHERF****** ELEVATORS!

 

[SupabadMan]

Play World At War on Veteran. That will give you a whole different perspective on frustrating.

 

[Forever of the Stars]

Agreed, although I figured out after the first few elevator scenes that I could just go and make a sandwich it was normally half done by the time i returned.

 

[Forever of the Stars]

gonna add, ninja gaiden, I'm also going to gut the cart and turn it into an external harddrive. then burn it's innards. Never again....never again.

One day I'll get to editing all of these into my list

 

[CheckD3]

Bioshock

I want to play on hard, I die a lot, but I want the challenge. The game not only throws enemies at me like it's fucking Christmas, but also reminds me I can change the difficulty at anytime...if I WANTED to play on an easier mode, I would have STARTED on an easier mode...if my friends weren't nagging me I probably wouldn't finish it...

It took a long time but I finally beat it on hard, it felt good, now I'm working on the play-through without dying thing, I have restarted about 25 times now, probably gonna give up.

Ha! I saw the trophies for beating the 2 hardest modes without dying...and as soon as I saw that I said "fuck that", no way that would happen.

I can't play Bioshock when I'm in a bad mood, because it just puts me in a worse mood, and when I leave it I feel better, unless I'm off in MW2 and then I'm ready to just find someone on the street and smash their face in with a lead pipe...

I've been avoiding MW2, partially because of the hype and partially because every single COD game I have played since the first one has done nothing but cause me crazy amounts of rage. Forget the online portion too (I broke a controller playing once). It's a terrible game in the first place, then you have fourteen year old jackasses screaming at you and calling you every obscenity or racial slur their feeble little fucking minds can think of.

But ya, so close. I'm sure it'll get beaten some day then I'll get the achievement and be happy... Until I have to start working on doing it on the hardest level.

Cy Girls (Aska Disc)
It takes me way too long to figure out what to do without looking at a guide, and I'm still refusing to look at a guide for a game that cost less then $10.

Dragon Quest VIII
And by this I mean the series of battles against the dragon guy at the end.
After like level 52 it takes way too long to grind experience >.<.

 

[Korten12]

Demon's Souls. only for the first couple of levels though.

 

[vivadelkitty]

Repeated platformer death does this to me, especially the water-pack-less levels in Super Mario Sunshine after death number 3...recently, Shadow of the Colossus has me do this at times. Jumping off the back of a running horse to grab a giant dragon's wing, climbing up the thing to reach its head, then one stupid mistake and I'm plummeting to the ground...again. Yeah, that makes me rage, but it's a great game, so it's forgivable.

 

[CheckD3]

That's what the mute button is for, I play music while playing a little louder than the TV or just mute anyone who wants to talk shit or crap to me...I don't let it bother me, and I like it. I don't buy into certain hypes, but I don't let let it deter me from the game, I let my own opinion do that

 

[InvisibleMan]

For me, it has to be Mirror's Edge. Ironically, Mirror's Edge is also one of my top favorite games of all time...

Meh I just blanket mute everyone's mics most of the time. Sometimes it's fun to talk to the civilized people or to trash talk the odd time, everything within a limit though. As for hype I just don't see the point it's not that I haven't tried to play them it's just that I have not actually found one to be entertaining to play since the first one.
