Most pissed you've ever been at a game?

I played the hell out of the original Halo back in the day. Then XBox Live launched and Halo 2 online became a thing. I've wanted to be able to play Halo CE co-op online ever since, mostly because friends and family weren't interested in playing doing so.

Halo Anniversary is announced and evidently you can play coop over live. A bunch of friends and I pre-order the game and buy it on launch day.

The game suffers from terrible input lag during co-op over XBox live. We chalk it up to a bad connection. I make a pilgrimage to a friends house to play over LAN. CAT6 cables through and through. Gigabit everything. Input lag out the ass. Impossible to play co-op in any way besides split screen. Turns out it's a problem with the game itself. It's been a couple years now and this has never been
fixed.

Fuck 343i. They stomped on my dreams and they never fixed their fuck up. This and Halo 4 have made me do something I've never done before. Swear off an entire company out of general principal. I'm surprised more people aren't upset about the Halo CE:A issues. Why it doesn't come up in every conversation about 343i I don't understand.

Anyways... Most pissed you've been at a game/company whatever.

When I was like 8 years old I couldn't beat that spider boss on Devil May Cry 1 (and yet a few months later I returned to the game and smashed it) and when I lost on about my twentieth time, I smashed the disc into the side of my PS2 and rubbed it until it broke.

Assassin's Creed 3 for me (at least in recent memory)

I was stupidly hyped for that game and well - you all probably know how shitty it was.
So much damn potential and well, Ubisoft pulled a Ubisoft.

I had a Tiger Electronics TMNT handheld game in the 80s when I was kid, and I got so upset with it that I whipped it into a wall and cracked the screen. Twas a sad day, but it was probably for the best.

Specific moments can be rage-inducing sometimes, but those don't get to me as much as I can just take a break from it and come back to it if I ever want too, or need too.

As such, probably the time one of my most used PS2 memory cards was completely erased.

Usually in frustrating boss battles I shout and curse.
I remember being filled with rage, fighting an underwater boss in Banjo Tooie. Swimming sections in games are usually difficult. Why the hell would you have a boss fight under water?

Also the sword fight in MGS2 near the end. I cursed Sony, Konami, Hideo Kojima, everyone.

Colonial Marines. Was super sketched out by Gearbox being given the license after Borderlands 2 happened, but it managed to be exponentially worse than I ever could have imagined.

Parasite Eve 2. I don't even remember if it's the final boss or just some random boss, but it was this thing which would change its form during battle and at a certain point it would release a kind of 'tentacle' which would open in two halves and flash some lights, from which I couldn't defend. I believe I tried to beat this motherfucker for two days until I smashed the CDs in my backyard.

EDIT: yup, final boss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4OEbghLLkQ

when i was about in the final mission of SR2 i saved my game in one of my safe houses which was the one with a helipad, the thing is when i got out of it the world glitched on me everywhere i went from there NPCs and me would fall through the world

since that experience i hate the series with a passion (not that i liked it that much but it was ok enough for me to finish or at least try), so salty and butthurted

Played 40 hours of KOTOR. Got stuck in a cutscene where no one talked or moved, and just stared blankly at the camera. Game checkpointed there, and I didn't have any earlier safe. Left the game on all night hoping they would eventually do something. I was pissed. Never finished the game.

The last instance I can recall was Lazarevic on crushing difficulty when Uncharted 2 first released. The entire playthrough was pretty easy until this last boss fight. I don't know why, but I just couldn't seem to clear it. I could only hear "you think you can stop me?" so many times before my grip tightened on the controller and I could feel my right arm begin to cock back for a throw after a death. I had thrown a controller or two when I was a youngster -- we're talking NES and possibly SNES days -- but never as an adult. I didn't actually throw it, but I was ashamed nonetheless.

I took a break, came back to it a few hours later, and ended up beating him on the first go. Anger certainly seems to diminish my gaming skill.

EDIT: Oh wow. I just looked it up and this came out in 2009. I thought it was more than 5 years ago for some reason. I'm kind of embarrassed that I even posted this now.

That pink mother fucker would not go where I wanted him to go. I was so mad I smashed my GBA against my forehead which sent the cart flying out corrupting and erasing all my progress then I realized I had also cracked my GBA's screen.

The fury and rage I felt at that moment led me to leaving the cart behind the wheel of my dads car so when he left for work the next morning he would totally crush that piece of shit game.

I didn't get another GBA until the SP model came out. That's what really pissed me off the most.

Most recently, Final Fantasy X's Yunalesca.

3 excruciatingly long fights due to status effect bullshit. 3rd form will insta-kill party if you try to prevent said status effects or were unlucky enough to heal at the wrong time. It just became a fight of attrition until my healing items ran out and I put the game down.

That Little Mac event match in Smash Bros WIi U certainly pissed me off like crazy yesterday. Tried for an hour and still couldn't do it. It's so rigged.

In the classic Sonic games you sort of naturally flow through the levels and all its paths, and things are very easy to understand. At one point in Sonic 3 in Carnival Night Zone, no matter what path you take you end up in this area where there is a really huge wall and that barrel.

Jumping up and down on it only moves it so much, and it's not nearly enough to get you to the top of the ledge. You have to use timed presses of up and down that flow with the barrel's movement to move it.

There is a 10 minute time limit on each level. As a kid I would go there and try everything until the time would run out and I'd lose a life, it would keep happening until game over. Was a really screwed up obstacle in an otherwise perfect game.

Blast Corps had a few missions that I recall made me hulk out and want to smash a controller.

Trying to get Dark Souls PC to work was also another rage-inducing moment. I'm still waiting for the GFWL update before I even try again.

Kind of an obscure PC title, 100% Orange Juice. When I lose at a game because I suck or someone else is better than me, that's fine. But losing due to pure probability is extremely annoying. Absolutely everything in the game but your name, your avatar, and the stage are determined by random rolls. A blind chimpanzee could beat the most seasoned gamer in this game.

Just a few days ago doing my full third playthrough of Yoshi's Island after tens years of not playing it. Trying to 100% I got to the long cave...yeah. Kept dying at all parts but eventually mastered it until I got to the part where you have to jump on the rolling thing from the top while its rolling in lava...spent like over an hour on that level.

Then the secret/extra (forgot which, playing GBA version on 3DS) thats called "Poochy ain't stupid" well guess what? Poochy is stupid, you stupid developers. I hope to never play another level with that stupid dog again. I then went and 100% both World 6 Secret and Extra only dying three times between both levels and am now working my way backwards. Really wannaget YNI now.

Yoshi's Island is one of my all time favorite games but it can be annoying to miss something, and have to redo the emtire level and look every little place AGAIN. Especially on those mazes. Then there is the part where I'm at Bowser's Castle and get the last checkpoint before using one of my three 20 Stars item. Die three times, have to get more items and restart the level.

I love it tho lol.

I know that's an easy one, but Sonic 06...
that was like 6 or 7 years ago and I just couldn't believe how terrible it was.

Before that, I enjoyed pretty much every game I've played, but since then I've become very critical with games in general.
Played the game again recently and I actally started feeling ill so I stopped...
sounds weird, but I guess it actually scarred me in some way for my body to react to it

I remember throwing my gameboy at a wall during a fight with Lance in Pokemon Gold to become the champion. When ever I got confused, of course I attacked myself every single turn, but when I paralysed his Dragonite it never seemed to take effect. One of those moments where I honestly felt like the game was programmed to make me lose.

The gameboy survived though. It's the true champ in this story.

The GTA Online launch. I got up at around 6 a.m. and didn't get to play until around 10:30 a.m. because the servers were buckling under pressure. I lost multiple characters and had to sit through that stupid intro video way too many times.

Fuck you, Lamar, why can't I skip your bullshit?
