Rayman legends, daily challenges for the platinum, frustrated every day.
What is the angriest you ever got playing a game?

This whole fucking, relentless, punishing, cunt of a game
LOL, this game is ridiculous. Its still insane even if you could save every 30 seconds. Ive never beat it. Maybe it would be easier now that I'm older...
For me i remember smashing a few sega master system controllers (or tried to), I can't remember the game I think Ive repressed the memory. I don't seem to get mad at games anymore, nothing is as painful as the early years of gaming (difficulty wise)

Back when I played Super street fighter 4 hardcore, I mained Makoto so I was used to losing more than I won but nothing pissed me off more than losing to Blanka or Guile. I remember after losing to a particularly cheesy, runaway Guile, I punched my fightstick so hard I shredded the skin off my knuckles and left the faceplate with a permanent concave indention.
Most my rage happens playing Battlefield...
amongst friends we joke about each of us having rage days.. :"the rage is real"
My wife wonders often out loud why I even play the game when I have a ragey day.. but she just does not understand, it is part of the game
I might be screaming , but I am having a good time... that or I am just a glutton for punishment.

Halo multiplayer for the most part. Tossed my controller multiple times, never broke anything except the vibration.
Only other thing was Fifa against my roommate because he would insist on giving me pointers whenever he scored a goal on me.
I would immediately have to leave the room for a cigarette before I exploded.

Mario Kart gets to me. I think that's part of the appeal though.

GT5 24h Nürburgring race. I crossed the line after 24 hours of fine racing with an underpowered BMW M3 GTR (compared to the Jag) and waited, and waited, and nothing happenend. With nothing I mean no results were shown, no screen, no continue-field, nothing. Literall wasted one day of my life (concerning game progress) and for a couple of seconds I really asked myself if my wife would notice a broken window (and the broken PS3 on the lawn...).

Probably soloing the Team Slayer playlist in Halo 3, trying to go from level 46 to level 47.
I was playing pretty easy songs and I always missed one or two notes towards the end. Making me have to replay the entire song.
The first keyboard I unplugged and threw it away, it hit a chair very hard and buttons flew everywhere. This was a cheap keyboard that I could not reattach the buttons to.
The second keyboard was one of those thin travelling keyboards. I broke it in half on my knee.
I smashed my fist into the third keyboard several times until some contact broke. I opened it up and saw some cheap cables were deattached from their solder point. Since I had no soldering skills at the time I could not be bothered to fix it.
I should be thankful nobody was home that night.
Jak 2,seriously the game i most rage quitted in my life. I think the mission you have to get one shard in a slump,i really thought on stopping playing games on my life. But,i finished the game,and it is one of my favorite games of all time.
Theres a section in Mirrors Edge,in the end,that if you try to pass it without using weapons,is hell on hearth. I tried to finish the game without using weapons on the first time i played it,and this sequence made me want to stop playing ME for at least 5 months.

I can't remember the exact rules for things like the injury table, but I'm pretty sure this is more than a 1 in 1,200 chance. I feel your pain.
You are not wrong. Some time back there was a warning on the official FIFA forums saying: "The official stance is that momentum/scripting does not exist". Notice how the wording shields them from any accusations of lying
FIFA makes me rage every year, especially in offline FUT mode. Now I know to put the TV remote out of hands reach

Only time I can recall getting super angry is when I cracked my first Vita's screen after throwing it when I blew my third consecutive opportunity at a perfect game in The Show 13 in the 9th inning rendering it useless. Did you know the original Vita, if screen is damaged at all, will not work...period? Sweet couple hundred bucks down the drain. Really out of character for me but I was quite frustrated and hurling that SOB across the room felt good at the time. I've since bought a second Vita and treat this one with care...and I don't play The Show anymore, as much as I would like to.

Final Fantasy X...can't remember the boss battle, but it was later in the game. I had the boss down to a sliver of a pixel left, and then he killed everyone in my party in one hit. The second time I fought him, I got to the same point and he did the same exact scene. I threw my controller behind me and punched the ground.

I punched a hole in my empty guitar case once.
But my most vivid is Super Smash Bros on N64. I finally encounted Ness in single player and tried desperately thrice to unlock him. He bested me all three times. My mother made me play outside and take a break after my meltdown.
Golly, I was a brat.

Not me, but let me tell you about a friend of mine. He is the worst sore loser I ever seen. Let's call him A.
We were 16 at the time and were playing Melee with another friend of ours at his place. Let's call him B.
B was (and still is) maniacally gelous about his stuff. Also B is Mario's n.1 fan, so he loves his Nintendo stuff mote than his mother.
Since A was his best friend since childood, he unwillingly allowed him to do things that nobody could at his place. B had a weak personality so A was pretty bossy with him.
So we were playing Melee all-togheter. A forgot his gamepad, so B unwillingly borrowed his. A gets bodyed every match, leaving only me and B playing 'till the end.
A gets frustrated. Like really frustated. He is easy to piss off while playing, but that day he was super nervous.
B knew A hated losing, so he was always easy on him.
I hadn't mercy instead. I fucking smash out him again off the stage. A gets ultra pissed and smashes B's gamepad on the floor.
You had to see the horror in B's eyes. He couldn't even speak. He was so frightened he couldn't even react.
From that day, we let A win a match or two to calm him down.

Playing Ghouls 'n Ghosts on the Sega Genesis in the mid 90's. I was in high school.
I've beaten the game before,
so I knew what I was getting in to.
I got stuck on the green slug boss with a weapon that was nearly impossible to beat him with. I tried over and over and got more and more frustrated with each fail. My mom finally intervened and pointed out I was clearly NOT having fun and I should just stop. After a few dozen more failed attempts I finally gave up completely dejected. I NEVER throw controllers, but if there was any time I would have, it was then.
I've beaten the game before,
you have to play through the game twice to get the proper ending, you have to beat the final boss with a special weapon you can only get on the second play through.
I had already completed the first play through, I was half way through my second play through and

R.C. Pro-Am when I was like 9 years old. The computer becomes a cheating asshole near the end of the game. It's the only time in my life that I actually broke a game out of sheer anger. I smashed it with a hammer and threw it into our fireplace. My mom took away my NES for 2 weeks.
Almost 25 years later, my blood still slightly boils when I remember that game.

In college, I was playing a heated game of madden against a friend on his PS2. I had the lead with a couple seconds left, the other guy had the ball at his own 20. He was trying to throw a hail mary. He got sacked and fumbled instead. I think "great, I win". Well, his running back scoops up the ball (Brian Westbrook I think... he was an Eagles fan). And takes it the distance somehow, breaking several tackles in the process. I lose.
I threw the controller straight down at the floor and it shattered into literally 50 pieces (it was a shitty 3rd party PS2 controller). I bought him a new one.

I'm sure there might be some incidents Im forgetting, but I'll say:
Ni No Kuni - Specifically, the fights before you get the "All defend" command as an option. I don't remember the actual names of the commands but early in the game, when you get all the of characters, you can alert your teammates to go all offense! Cool! That comes in handy, but as boss fights (and others) come, I start asking myself "Where is all defend as a command? I need my people to block for themselves. They're getting wasted!!!"
The game keeps going, I start assuming there is no "all defend" and get more and more frustrated even though I'm winning battles. I feel like it is a huge oversight by the developers and it's making me pissed. Why wouldn't you include this? The enemies and bosses are doing full AOE attacks! This isn't right! Then about midway through the game, you do a boss battle where I lost a decent number of times before finally getting. All defend would have been perfect there, but I made it.
Just AFTER this fight, they give you "All defend" as a command.
I threw my controller across the room.

As far as physical violence/rage, I've hit my fist against my desk a few times as a result of shooter/MMO PvP BS, but it's mostly just a tirade of profanity.
Happened a lot playing with randoms in BF3, WAR, and Rift -- not so much in older games, though.
Edit: Oh, I take it back, the maddest I ever got was when I get a 5d suspension in Warhammer for "impersonating a Mythic employee" when I responded to someone's question of "how do you know that" with "Because I'm Andy. Population is fine, idiots." (Andy Belford being a community guy who would respond to our concerns about server pop with a "population is fine" comment when all signs pointed to active PvP population not being fine). I dropped the game and dropped pretty much all things EA/BioWare/Mythic after that. I guess NFSMW:U is the only title I've purchased since.

Nothings makes me more irrationally angry than FIFA. I've been playing that stupid game for more than a decade, and this version ('15) makes me want to find new friends and a new hobby. F*** that stupid game. Dominate possession, dominate pass stats, create quality chances...then one long ball and....my blood pressure is rising just thinking about it.
I borrowed that game from my friend when I was a little kid and somehow managed to beat the end boss at the first time. Seeing the game begin again afterwards totally crushed me, couldn't believe it expected you to go through all that again, and with it staying so easy to die. Got mad afterwards.
The two games I got maddest at were at the last boss on Dead or Alive on the 360 (that green thing, who could mimic all the characters in the game), it would basically counter every single move you did and teleport behind you before unleashing an uncounterable barrage of pain repeately before you die. I got so mad at it that my mum came upstairs and was like "if its making you so angry, then maybe you should stop playing", which just made me madder lol. I'm still convinced that sometimes on that last boss, the game just decided you weren't going to beat it that time.
The other was on one of the old football manager games (before it went to a 3d engine, and was literally just dots moving around on a green rectangle), one game my team (who were always in contention for the league/cups/champions league) were just being inexplicably shit against some middling team, (scoring own goals, failing to tackle players, passing badly) and ended up losing 7-0 i think. Not one player got a rating higher than 3, and there was literally no indication where that came from, or what could be done about it when it was happening. I got progressively more angry at the game as it went on, just screaming at the computer... ¬_¬
Honestly though, this is a problem of the past now... I've since mellowed out a bit and learned to take it less seriously!!
Playing call of duty. I smashed a controller off the ground in mw2, two controllers in black ops (as well as putting my hand through the drywall and eventually snapping the disc in half) and one in mw3.
The last one I did was mw3. I whipped a controller off a couch pillow and it hit a $200 lamp. Luckly for me it could be glued back together.

I basically ragequit World of Tanks over the October Questline. (kill 25 Tanks with your medium tank every day, get a specific amount of damage each day for 25 days out of 38 days. That was 625 Tanks to kill with a medium tank (I was more the heavy and TD type of guy) And you couldnt quit with 24 tanks on a day, it had to be 25!!!! You couldnt get fewer than 25, or your whole day was for nothing and mre then 25 didnt count for the next day. You had to sit through the 25 kills or the day wouldnt had counted.
Sometimes it took 2 hours, more often than not, it took 4 hours. You would deliberately wait for the enemy tank to be shot down enough so that you can lend the killing hit. It was bad for teamplay but we had to sit through that. And well most players did that in that timeframe, because they all had that frigging quest!
I played with my buddy and we had to balance our kills, you got more frustrated when one of us got ahead of the other with the number of kills. We wouldnt quit until both of us had our kills. And it was straining when your buddy had the 25 kills and you were sitting at 18 or so and vice versa.
We did it in 26 days and got the friggin premium tank. I quit afterwards and am still burned out of World of Tanks

Especially when getting back into the game after a long pause and dying because you can't do anymore what you used to do - spraying, aiming for headshots and the like.
My most frustrating experience.
Wonderful 101:
Now he's about to punch you! SIKE! Squashed. Repeat above.
The whole boss fight felt like a repeated slap in the face — and I do not care if it's more entertaining knowing his patterns, or the game's obtuse Unite counters. Playing Bayonetta 1 recently was a big reminder how poorly designed parts of W101 was for me.
Edit:
And A-Ranking Zant's lv.3 Scimitars in Hyrule Warriors. Worse was the fact I left this last, thinking all the worst Lv.3 Weapon missions were dealt with.
Look, he's about to do an attack! Block! But whoops, NOT WITH SHARP ATTACKS! Now your team mates are scrambled all over the place! Gather them up— OOPS! He's hit you and scrambled your team once more!

As a little boy, I never even saw this jerkface's final form:
For the kids in the room, that's Ninja Gaiden NES's final boss. The frustration is in returning to the start of Stage 6-1, which itself is brutal, each time you fail.
Or how about 7 year old me's blistered thumbs on this:
American Gladiators' The Wall. Hard difficulty. Ouuuuuch!
Once I made it into the second half of my teens, I slayed all my video game dragons: Tyson's Punch-Out, Battletoads, TMNT. There's no real replacement for better hand-eye coordination and reflexes.

I threw an NES controller at the TV while playing Ninja Gaiden I or II as a kid (don't remember exactly which, probably II). I remember it just building inside me, I was so mad and I went through the whole angel/devil on my shoulder thing.
"Do it. It's cool to throw your controller if you're mad, you read the sentence "controller throwing" in Gamepro or something. Show it who's boss. "
"No, you'll break the TV and your dad will be pissed. Don't get that angry, it's bad. Be a bigger person."
Devil won after a couple of minutes and I whipped it at the TV as hard as I could. After I did it i ran over to make sure the TV screen wasn't chipped. Luckily I was a scrawny 12 year old, because it was intact. Otherwise Ninja Gaiden might have literally killed me when my dad got home.

I went through $1500 in monitors, mice, and keyboards one year. The specific game didn't matter. I started ordering two mice at a time from Amazon so I'd have a backup on-hand the next time I'd smash one and have to wait for a replacement. I stopped going to the local Best Buy for them when the computer guy asked me why I was always buying mice.
