Most angry you have ever been playing a videogame?

Shenmue 2, crushed a xbox controller with my hands.
Bunch of things compounded to piss me off that day, surprised I didn't turn green and break the house.

FUUUCK.

I remember when I first cleared that part. The tears of elation were magical.
 
Ninja Gaiden 2.

Stupid fucking turtle boss!

I like hard games, sure, but games like that are just painfully stupid. Only controller I've ever broken. And I'm not particularly a ragey kind of person either...
 
Not mine but is too good not to show. Elevator Action: Old and New caused someone to do this to their GBA SP:
Something like going through game in one sitting and getting very close to the end and losing...

As for me personally:
I think FFIII DS got me rather annoyed after losing to the final boss (the last save point is like 4 hours before that point and the bosses and other stuff before was fairly routine of using defensive buff items and spells, fight boss taking little damage)
I've pulled cartridges out of the GBA and thrown controllers to the ground on occasion too but do not remember what games caused this.
 
Dota probably. A few occasions.

The quickest way games piss me off is wasting my time. Usually failures in the games mechanics that cause me to die, thus lose time.

Many memories of sitting at the Runescape log in screen yelling about shitty servers as my character was inevitably being killed while standing there unresponsive, knowing there is a good chance I will log on to discover months of my time had disappeared, or worse, some little fuck had picked it up and was having the best day of his life at my expense.
 
The old NES game Gum Shoe (I think was the name)... Light gun controls made that game nearly impossible. I swear it was more luck than anything.
 
A lot of games have pissed me off over the years but this is the first game I thought of

I don't know why I bought this game. The fact that all the stages are timed should have been a red flag. I think I may have only gotten to the third stage before quitting for good. I remember pounding the basement floor with my fists and my dad being able to hear it from upstairs. I still have that stupid skateboard attachment in a box somewhere.

 
Two occasions spring to mind, from around the same time.

1. I was playing Wrestlemania 2000 on N64 and the Rock is a cheating little fuck, so I kept restarting the match. Couldn't even land a hit. He would block everything. Even when I tried things like foreign objects or trying to time moves so he couldn't reverse, he would reverse. I finally ripped the cartridge out of the N64, threw it against the wall, and bit through the cord of my N64 controller.

2. I was playing Virtua Tennis on Dreamcast and got stuck at Jim Courier. I could maybe get a point, but it was like he had Goku's instant transmission or something and I wouldn't get past him. The more I tried again and again, the more pissed off I got. So I wound up the slack on the controller cable and ripped it out of the base of the controller. This blew all of the controller ports on DC and I had to go buy a new one.

I don't get too mad any more. I don't even remember why that was making me so mad back then, heh.
 
Back in the day, when Street Fighter Zero 2 and 3 and the King of Fighter serie were the rage, some of my friends and I used to organize evening tournaments on both the playstation and Saturn. I remember one day in particular. I kept losing to one of the most annoying people you could imagine : The guy kept bragging about it for hours, teasing me whenever I would grab the controller. I snaped. Insults flew around, and what was supposed to be a virtual clah ended up becoming as real as fights can get.
 
Anyone who has not played MOBA should do so and come back to edit their response.

But yeah LoL when you have teammates who give up after the first mistake they make and justify every following one with "doesn't matter because we were going to lose anyway"

My blood pressure is spiking just thinking about it.
 
The only time I've been legit angry at a video game was when a Skyrim bug corrupted my save file.
200+ hours gone.
I actually stopped playing video games for a while after that because I was so pissed.

Holy crap, that's the first time I see this little skateboard accessory. It looks kinda fucking cool haha.
 
There are plenty of games that frustrates me (and sometimes it's part of the fun), but the only one that I truly hated was ME3. I'm still pretty pissed.

Anyway, my brother actually hammered his Xbox 360. He was playing online, so either Battlefield, FIFA or Gears of War. He never really explained. Now he has a console with a hole where the case around the fan used to be (the fan is still miraculously functional, it just "wheezes" a bit sometimes).
 
Shinobi, ps2, final boss.

I can beat him rather easily now but the first time I tried, it took me maybe 5-6 hours of retrying. Wanted to hang myself.
 
certain parts of the non-Infinity Ward CoD veteran campaigns. don't know what it is but I have no problem with the IW ones, and freak the fuck out on certain other parts like Blowtorch & Corkscrew in W@W
 
Losing a slaps only fight in Goldeneye 007 for the 64 against some friends. I don't know why I got so mad, I just snapped.

They still don't let me live it down.

The most I've ever yelled at a game, at least.

"No don't pick that up. Not that! Not that either!!! Fuck, wtf are you doing!?"
 
Mario Kart Wii Online (Mario Circuit 3) Was in 1st place most of the race hit the the boost arrow on the final lap (takes like 2 seconds to get from the boost to the finish line) halfway between the boost and the finish line I get hit with Spiky shell, Star, Red Shell Bullet Bill, someone with a mushroom hits me and tosses me to the side and then I don't finish. From 1st to 12 and not finish in less than 10 seconds.
 
I should add more...

Brawl's missions made me mash my brawl game case (without the game in it obv). It still functions as a game case though

Galaxy 2 made me pause the game, go outside and drag the wiimote across the wall (few chunks around the edges came out)

More recently, losing in Mean Bean Machine made me punch my laptop and it pooped its' battery out
 
nes ninja gaiden series. those eagles. fzero gx story mode. demons souls tbe boss that steals your levels delevelling you.

limited continues in ninja gaiden 3 nes. still havent beaten it

those phantoms in the forest in dark souls and whenever i get pushed off a cliff or one hit killed trying to get my souls back.

losing to anyone in nes punch out and they laugh at you.

when the dog laughs when u miss a duck in duck hunt.

whenever a pikmin goes astray and chases an enemy or a non blue pikmin thinks they can swim, while trying to have no pikmin die. pretty much when pikmin have a mind of their own and end up dying. also stubborn rock pikmin i have to whistle dem like 3 times instead of once.

recently ducktales remastered. harder than i remembered
 
I just got pretty angry playing one of the "hold your 3DS sideways" boss fights in Mario and Luigi: Dream Team. The fight had been going on for a good 30 minutes, no exaggeration, because I'm terrible at drawing circles quickly on the touch pad etc., and then I die. Try the fight again die. Just annoying as hell. Why does the boss fight have nothing to do with the battle system you've been leveling up for 20+ hours.

Anyway... I just want to finish this game. It's good, but it has overstayed its welcome.
 

Hah, this brings back memories.

I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to complete the last tree monkey puzzle for ages.

Still yet to ever beat that game, think I only ever made it halfway through.


Anyway, I am known by my friends as being quite the rage-y sort of gamer. A lot of the time I exaggerate my rage in public as it seems to create some good laughs for my friends (I'm told my insults to the game can be quite creative!), and elsewhere I'm generally a lot more calm than what I used to be, but I still have my moments when I'm on my own.

Most of my damage has been caused on PC. Being a FIFA player leads to infuriating moments more often than not, which naturally leads to gamepads flying. In addition, I'm also a Trackmania fanatic, and well, when you're searching for thousandths of a second in that game sometimes, even the slightest mistake can cause intense anger.

All up, I think I've broken 4 or 5 different variations of PC gamepads over the past 5 years due to this. Most of them are Xbox 360 controllers used on PC. I've also done damage to a keyboard and a mouse years back due to COD, and about a year and a half ago BF3 led me to break a handrest off my G15 keyboard. I've also broken the grip to an old Logitech MOMO Racing Wheel (which already had faulty pedals though) and I think I may have lost one cheap headset. These days if I'm willing to throw a controller I have a moment of clarity seeking out the object that I can throw it into without causing any damage before letting loose :P. I have a shorter tether now anyway so more often than not I quit a game before I let things get too out of hand.

On consoles I've been a bit more in check, but there's still some damage. I've only ever completely broken two controllers on console, two Wiimotes due to the mother fucking "The Perfect Run" in Super Mario Galaxy 2. The day I finally beat that after 2 years of on and off attempts at it was glorious. Apart from that my old Xbox 360 controller is a bit beat up but still works, same with one of my DS3s. My Gamecube controllers somehow survived F-Zero GX, which is up there on my rage-inducing games list, especially when I lost a Story Mode complete + all Arcade cups completed save due to a corrupted memory card. That's a day I'll never forget...

When I look back on all of this though, I find that by releasing stress and anger on objects like this (and with my love for aggressive metal music), I feel happier and quite relaxed pretty much everywhere else. It gives me a sort of balance I guess. I cop the cost of replacing controllers and other items, but if I can keep that anger and attitude away from other areas of my life, I'm happy for it to stay that way. :)
 
Playing against El Fuerte when I was just starting out in Super Street Fighter IV, dude body slammed me to death in two games and then messaged me saying "haha".

I raged quite a bit.
 
Muramasa Rebirth on fury mode.

I've done plenty of difficult video game related things in my life. For some reason, mainly during boss fights, the anticipation of one hit deaths is the most stressful thing to me and I simply cannot finish the game on this mode.

Wish I could... It's the only thing keeping me from platinum and I loved the rest of the game.
 
Forza 5. Public lobby. After years of clean racing in 3 and 4 with the 2old4forza clan I was unprepared for the frustration of racing with folk who use your car as a brake.
 
Anything with QTE's. I raged often while playing Remember Me and as soon as they popped up in Max Payne 3, I stopped playing the game. Now I refuse to buy any game that has them.
 
Any EA Sports game.

Not against a human either, the Computer.

Put that CPU at the highest difficulty and the game overtly cheats.

Your players AI turn into complete idiots, especially and most infuriatingly in FIFA.

Ugh, FIFA makes me so angry. I with PES didn't suck so much this year.
 
The angriest I probably ever been was while playing my brother in NFL Gameday for the original Playstation some 18 years ago. I was winning the entire game and he throws a bomb at the last second with no time left to beat me, I Punched a hole straight through my bedroom wall.

Talk about pissed, I was beyond that point!

Right now? Playing Killer Instinct in Ranked matches knowing im better then the person I am playing, but my controller somehow is not telling the game what I want it to do, and because of this I lose by a hit or two. Lucky my controller says "Day One" on it, I may have broke it by now if it didn't! Haha


Can't wait until I get my fight stick, February can't come soon enough! Xmas got me pinching pennies at the moment. :(

.
 
Killer Instinct 2 in the Arcade, mainly because I would practice going up the ladder myself until this one guy would put his money in and completely destroy me with Ultra combos. I couldn't beat him, so I would just walk away & he would continue to play.
