Which game or games have frustrated you most?

I have to change my answer to Killzone 2

I went in expecting a fun FPS for the PS3, and found a story mode that looked nice but played dull and bland and had me confused and desperate for relief, and an online mode that had me give it my life story and try and set me up with something that I have no idea about...I was SO excited to play it that I even PAID for the rental, which is odd since I NEVER pay for rentals, I paid and wasted 10 bucks...I could've rented a GOOD game, or used that money on food or something...instead I wasted it...you can bet your ass that KZ2 has taught me to NEVER pay full price on a rental like this again...fuck you hype...fuck you

I didn't like the first killzone, so i never bothered with the second. That and I have a 360 not a ps3

Street Fighter: SPAM!!!! That is all there is to it, spam the hadoken and shoryuken (I raped the spelling on those didn't I?) as Ryu or Ken or spam grapples and Zangeif. Only way to stand a chance is spam.

Soul Caliber 4: The spam-level on the SC series is quite a bit lower than most other fighters, but some of the challenges in the Tower are FUBAR (the 6th and highest level of the BS rating chart). That and the unwalled maps always end with a ring-out because they are just too bloody small.

Call of Duty: Grenades, grenades, grenades, random explody barrels, grenades, BS mob in an area with no cover to hide behind and let my wolverince mutant healy powers fix me. I never played online, but judging by how ass the single-player tends to get, I could only imagine.
Special mention to CoD3 on the Wii and the QTE waggle bits that DON'T FUCKING WORK!! despite me jerking back on the nunchuk for the umptenth time, the pillock I was controllign just would not pull the pin on the bomb so I could move on, nor would he finish the Nazi in the CQCQTE parts.

SSBB: FUCK YOU LVL 9 PIKACHU, PEACH, and FALCO!!!!!! All other 9's I can easily take out, but those are nearing the FUBAR level. Pika SPAMS!! the holy bloody fucking hell outta the thunder, which are too powerful and the attacks lasts way too long. Peach somehow starts floating without even jumping and spams the down air and the foward air. Falco is just canned spam, the reflector anytime you are off the ledge and the spin when you are on teh ground (1 time, Falco spammed the spinning attack and only the spinning attack adn got me over 150%).

Oddly enough though Demon's Souls never overly frustrated me, except the Maneaters who kept knocking me off the edge (before I learned the bow and arrow tricks to beating them) and invading players sometimes irritated me. My only angered moments was how BS rare some of the ore drops are (just try to get a pure bladestone within 2 hours of grinding), but those were countered by the fact I was getting a metric shitton of souls.

The Spring Offensive in Toy Soldiers springs to mind straight away.

shin megami tensei: nocturne. every boss fight, and I do mean EVERY SINGLE ONE of them on a 50+ hour game with several branching history paths has it's difficulty cranked up to 500. and that no one mentions this but you can easily lock yourself out of being able to enter towns if you manage to piss off all factions since they send their lieutenants to get you... I'm talking choosing between being ass raped by the four horsemen of the Apocalypse or being sodomized by the four archangels... fun times, not.

Fallout 3: The game was so glitchy that I actually couldn't play for more than 20 minutes. It was upsetting because the game is fun. Ah well, *smashes disk again*.

I almost stopped playing assassin's creed for similar reasons but got a fix off the net that worked! I had more blue screen of deaths than ever in my comp's history.

For you grammar nazis who are going to say it's blue screens of death, please observe one thing: blue screen of death is 1 noun.

That's my 3 000 000 000 nano-cents worth.

I agree with you on all of those.

Bugs can be a piss off eh? It was because of them that i stopped playing grim fandango, I eventually beat it but i gave up to a crash.

Back in the day I got DBZ: Budokai for the PS2 and after about a month (I had three games at the time) of kicking ass with Vegeta prince of all Saiyans I decided to crank the difficulty up to 11, never before has a game gotten me so mad that I literally tore the controller in half bare handed.

And it's only PS2 games that get me really mad I can get spawn killed 100 times playing MW2 on my 360 and I'll just utter a slew of curses under my breath

We had a similar event happen after a marathon session of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, friend of mine got so pissed that he threw the Xbox controller at the wall, and this was one of those giant fuckers not the little controllers that came out later (it was the only one we had left unfortunately for him someone else was using the s controller) not only did the wall take some serious damage (the hole was still there when we moved out) the controller was smashed, it split in half and exposed all of it's guts. Pretty much can happen with any fighting game, especially if your opponent is wasted, sitting beside you, and insulting you every time he beats you (his streak was somewhere in the 90's we all hated him a little for it.)

As for spawn camping that causes me rage, when I lan unreal tournament with my friends, a few of them tend to do it, especially in capture the flag.

DA:O for being an over-hyped let-down. I kept waiting and waiting for it to become as awesome as foretold... but alas, it remained stale and generic. Frustrating...

I would also say facing the onslaught of Shoto Characters (Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Sagat)(note: can include Dan, Cammy, Sakura on that list as well) on SF4 online. I can handle losing 50 in a row, but I get bored of 90% of players using the same basic moveset all the time (I use Chun Li - who is pretty unique in SF land).

Also, rage quitters on Soul Calibur 4 are just dandy.

Rage quitters everywhere suck man. It does start to get really annoying in any fighting game though.
