Ornstein and Smough. Never have I been so angry.
Recently it was the slime boss in Rogue Legacy. Not fair at all. Screw you whoever designed that BS.

Oh yes. Laggy connections ruining games, lucky last minute goals against the run of play, dodgy red cards, and trash talking arseholes.
FIFA online is without any doubt the most rage inducing game I play.
I think this is a little elevator thing. Jumping on it makes it float up and down a little, but not far enough to get to where you need to go.
The game gives you no indication that you're supposed to stand on it and press down.

This got me bad too. I played through VII for the first time like 2 years ago and got to that part. Spent ages figuring out where to go and had to send my mate a text saying I was stuck. He almost instantly text back saying 'Is it in the construction yard? There's a ninja plank you've to go up'. It must be one of those parts everyone somehow manages to get stuck on.

How can you be pissed when you expected it to be shit? Lol
For me bf4 by a mile, played the shit outta 3, they could have copied it for all I cared. Nope, complete and utter shit until may 2014...
And what's worse is there was an army of posters on this forum continually telling people it was fixed. I wish the could have been banned, it was borderline Astroturfing at best.

Recently....Destiny. Where was this big expensive game that took all that time and money to make? Felt like about 1/3 the unique content of a regular triple A game. Ewww.
But my ultimate most pissed is still the lightning dodge in FFX. I was up to 93!
I did not throw my controller. I stood up, very firmly placed the controller on the floor and walked away. I control my behaviour very carefully at all times, so for me, that's the same as someone else kicking their foot through the TV screen.

Ni No Kuni. Final boss, final form had to make one more hit and got killed by a cheap shot. This after at least an hour trying to defeat the boss. Literally wrenched the disc out of the drive threw into the garden like a Frisbee then traded it in immediately. Never went back obviously.
Man Parasite Eve 1's final boss was even worse. After a semi hard battle she trantransformed into a crawling death machine thay required you to run away from and if it touched you it was automatic game over. So frustrating.

I have never played this game but keep seeing this image and have always wondered what is going on. Is there a video which explains it.

Probably not the same context as most people in this thread but mine is socom 3. I hated it so much and I was so angry with the direction they took the series that I literally threw it in the toilet. My brother went in to use the bathroom later and was so confused.

Fighting the Serpentarius in FFXII and being killed constantly because, after being killed onceand resurrected, my chars would waste time putting the weapons away and pulling them out, causing them to die again and again. Only time I've ever thrown my controller in frustation.
I think.....that one boss in Force Unleashed where the game basically gives you false instructions. I think it was also glitchy and the whole level just felt kinda screwed up. IIRC it was the second to last level. It was just awful design.
That game is upsetting because it's a fun game; force powers are a lot of fun to play around with and the combat itself is pretty cool. But it's just so poorly designed in so many areas. I've played much worse games, and much much much more difficult games, but I don't think any of them were as frustrating as it because of the juxtaposition of a handful of really shitty design decisions on top of a fun engine.

Halo 2. Tore off my headset, threw against the wall and broke it after a run of bullshit moments.
One of the NBA 2K games from the past few years. I can't remember which one (I get it almost every year). My team refusing to make a basket, or a pass with out turning the ball over. Whilst the AI team is hitting any shot that goes up and making impossible cross court passes. Spiked my controller on the ground. I was shocked I didn't break it.
Otherwise I don't get too bad with games besides cursing at the screen sometimes. My temper used to be way worse when I was younger, when I was intensely competitive in any game I played.

Playing destiny week after week, leveling like a maniac, getting in early in Vault of Glass trying to get my character to 30, only to not get a single armor piece drop in 9+ raids while I watched my way more casual friends get piece after piece, hitting 30 before I got any armor piece. Eventually I ended up leveling a second Warlock so I could do the raid twice. After about twenty raids and only eventually getting one piece towards the end I decided I had enough of the shitty RNG. I would have had to spend over a year in total doing the raid twice a week to hit 30 at the rate I was going. Fuck that game, man. Still makes me angry thinking about it.

I kinda felt the same way about it. I must have played through it a couple of times just because it was fun to play, but I hated the way they just redone all the levels, it seemed pretty lazy. I was really hoping the sequel would fix the first games problems and we would get a classic, but i heard that was not the case lol

I bought destiny and played through the campaign thinking it was pretty good, but then I realised that from then on it would just be grind to get anything more interesting. Pretty appalling really, the raids sounded cool, but I do not want to have to play the same few levels over and over for hours just to level up enough so that I could play them.

Played the HALO:MCC collection HALO 2 campaign trough with legendary with my roommate. 3 levels didn't register as played and 3 times a level froze in the last stretch. This is the latest that I was really pissed off.

Basically, up to that point in Sonic, Up on the D-pad was never used. You needed to press Up and Down repeatedly there to progress and it blew a bunch of kids' minds. What made it worse was the fact that plain jumping looks barely possible so most just tried that. It took me about half an hour to figure it out when I was younger.
To answer the OP, Mario Party (several occasions) and Mario Kart Wii (when I cared about VR).
You're chaotic evil for recommending people do this. Also, on really old hardware it can become easier at times because areas like birdo end up spawning the platforms quicker.

I don't personally get pissed at games or anything, but my older brother once threw a chair across a room after losing to a boss in one of the Final Fantasy games like 12 years ago.
Mario Kart 8 is the most recent game that has riled me up. I tried playing online and most of the time I'd end up swearing and pissed off because of the results of the races. I've never seem to place in the top half and I haven't touched the game since June because of this. I can't bring myself to get rid of it even though I doubt I'll play much of it in the future. Strangely, I had fun playing online Mario Kart 7.
Will always be this....

Yes, this is the one.
Also, maybe misdirected anger, but when my memory card got corrupted (thousands of hours wasted) while I was trying to load some random game save file. Not the game's fault, but I sure put all the blame on them.

When I did my proper Elite run, I played for two hours one night before giving up and try again the next morning. Took almost two hours again, but when I finally did it I was so happy. I can't remember what strategy I ended up using, it's all a bit of a blur. Either way, I'm pretty proud of that Killzone 2 platinum trophy.
I was 7 or 8 years old. I rented Punky Skunk (PS1) for a weekend from our Blockbuster.
The game was fun for awhile, but there was some sort of insane difficulty spike for me as a kid and I got stuck on one of the last levels for hours. I stayed up all Saturday night in my living room, which I wasn't supposed to be doing, trying to beat the game and I couldn't get past the last few levels.
I cried. I screamed into a pillow. I beat my controller with my fists. Angriest I have ever been at a video game. Not my finest moment.

Still haven't turned it back on since this happened.
When I was playing the PSN version earlier this year it crashed seconds into the cut scene after beating his "final" form
Not counting the "battle" in the moon.

I could NEVER figure it out when I was 10, so I'd always use the debug cheat to bypass that stupid barrel... 20 years later and I can't believe how simplistic the solution actually was, lol.
Anyway, I'm sure I'm missing a lot, but these moments I remember pissing me off to hell and back:
Goldeneye - 00 Agent Facility Time Challenge.
- I tried so hard to complete this challenge purely because it unlocked the best cheat in the game. But god damn was it hard! It wouldn't have been so bad if there had been a consistent pattern, but that fucking Doctor would always switch rooms.
Jet Force Gemini - Last Boss.
- I don't remember much about this boss. I've only ever completed the game once, and that was back when it was released, but I do remember wrecking a controller trying to kill him. I don't remember if it was the frame rate, the challenge, the tricky controls, or if it was a combination of all three.
Mostly it was the N64 era of games that pissed me off the most because I felt like the frame rate and mechanics were letting me down.

Man. The only game I still really rage consistently at is Tekken Tag 2, online. Especially after a really bad day... being a semi-decent player and losing 5 or 6 times in a row just fucking sucks, especially when a few of those losses are because of lag.
DOA5U is great... just don't put me up against any of those fucking ninjas. Seriously, they feel like they belong in a different fucking ninjas-only fighting game. I really hate when I'm trying to play really technical with Jann Lee or the MMA chick and motherfuckers come in are like "Nope, backflips are faabullouusss!!"
I've found I don't really rage these days, unless something else in my life is stressing me out as well. It used to be a lot worse when I was a kid (I think I remember crying trying to beat Master Norg in FFVIII), but my neighbor actually came upstairs a few weeks ago to ask me to stop screaming at the top of my lungs at Catherine.
