Most angry you have ever been playing a videogame?

Tomb Raider Guardian of Light is one of the more recent one's.

I was stuck for a couple of hours and couldn't figure out how to proceed and paused the game to look it up online and it turned out that the game had glitched on me and the platform that was supposed to be there for me to jump on simple wasn't there. The only way to fix it was to try to play the stage from beginning.

That worked but the whole thing was just beyond stupid and really effected my opinion of the game (which up to that point I was enjoying quite a bit).
 
Call of Duty and hitboxes and Lag Compensation. Nothing worse in the world.

Well loosing against your older brother in FIFA is worse i am sorry :D
 
I wanted to regularly put my controller through my monitor figuring out Dark Souls this summer. It just made beating it all the more satisfying.
 
Missing the helicopter jump for the 50th time on GTA IV final mission, frame rate plummets and dear Niko falls into the sea.

I threw my DS3 into the air and headbutted it as it fell, left a lovely red imprint on my forehead. Yes I had "had" anger issues.
 
Its a toss up between Ornstein n Smough from Dark Souls or Killzone online (2,3, or SF). I have no idea why I get so pissed at competitive play. I guess its the cheapness I feel and the fact that I have terrible fucking luck. I always seem to turn the wrong way and show my back to someone as they come around a corner, or Ill fall off something and someone ends up behind me. O and S though... Im surprised I didn't break a controller fighting those dick fisters.
 
Final Fantasy IV. I hated it since start but I kept going thinking I might change my mind. Got to the part where I flew to the moon and then I went apeshit with everything about it. Never want to play it or hear about it.
 
Usually, very little makes me mad. Maybe the odd reg bull in CS, but I shrug it off pretty easily.

But then this guy comes along:

Not too bad I think, I can dodge his attacks, oh wait that one attack he does knocks me back so far I fall off the stage every time. Ok. It's cool. Whatever.

Ok it's the fifth time now and he keeps punting me off. I try putting myself near pillars and i get shunted around them and fall off. Again.

Ok finally get his health down a fair bit, I can do this!

And there were 2.

Players who've only played Dark Souls and think Ornstein and Smough are bad, you have no idea.
 
The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night. Now, I'm sure theres a lot of opinions on TLoS games, but ...this one part was awful.

Spyro is captured and you're put into an arena on a flying ship. To get to the Boss Fight (and continue the story) you have to defeat a huge army onboard the ship. This takes about an hour or so to actually do as there's just wave after wave of enemies on board.

During this time, you're constantly losing health because somehow the projectile cannonballs have a blast radius that's bigger than what you'd expect, and the enemies can gang up on you and completely rekt your health.

Afterwards, you're dropped right into a Boss Battle which isn't bad by itself, but for some reason the dude keeps fire in his pirate..captain..office? Anyways, he's got a hookshot that can knock you into the fire...but.....if you die here you have to go back and do the ENTIRE ENEMY BATTLE again. Then and only then will you be able to get back down to his room and battle him.

It's just incredibly frustrating, especially if you don't have much health left and because his attacks seem to be immune to the time powers you have.

It made me physically angry at the game and I had to put it down....I don't think I went back for over a year. Finally I gathered some courage and did it again and finally beat him.
 
Gears Of War when it just came out. Never played a game like that before. Shot a guy in the back 3 times point blank with a shotgun, he turns around and kills me instantly and he lives. I got so mad I broke a controller and kicked my closet door in. I've never come close to being that angry at any media again. Lol. (Lesson learned)
 
BF3 used to make me very angry sometimes. BF4 isn't the same for some reason. Probably just me that doesn't take it as seriously.
 
I threw FIFA 08 against a brick wall in my apartment. I then gathered up the pieces and threw them in a lake.


I had to destroy it before it destroyed me.
 
The worst ones that jump to mind were fighting the final boss in Sonic Adventure, right after it came out... and the free fall sequence towards the end of Killzone Shadow Fall, about a month ago. It seemed pretty fun at first, but probably around my 20th fail, I was literally fantasizing about kidnapping whoever it was at GG who designed and approved that section of the game, tying them up in an abandoned building, and making them feel the same amount of suffering they were making me feel. Which was A LOT. I hear they patched it for the EU launch. Lucky bastards.

Played the fan-translated japanese version and had only 2 savestates... One was my main, one 6 hours "before". Ran into demon wall and figured out I had no chance to beat it with the main savestate...
 
Any fighting game, broke 2 gamepads with SSF4, couldn't even finish the history mode yet.

Now on ranked Killer Instinct, trying not to chew off my controller.

Yup.

Some of the shit the AI does is like WAAAT. The players never do what you tell them.


Also, most shooters especially the more team oriented ones. The amount of dumbasses you have to deal with in Halo and Battlefield is infurating.
 
I was like 8 or 9. I got Ninja Gaiden on the NES. I am not someone prone to fits of rage, but one of the jumping levels with the freaking birds flying around sent me over the edge. It was near the end I think (I am hazy with the game details because this was 30 years ago).

When I finally lost it I took my NES controller, grabbed my baseball bat, went outside to a tree, tied the controller to the tree and then smashed the controller Office Space-style until it was small piece on the ground.

What shocks me about this when I think back is I was so upset that I got up, gathered the bat and controller, walked outside, tied thing to the tree and then went to town. That's a good 3 minutes for me to come to my senses. It wasn't just chucking the controller or the game itself.

I'd do it again today.

Playing Morrowing GOTY on an OG Xbox. Went into a cavern to retrieve the Bonebiter Bow for an essential story quest. I'd picked it up earlier just roaming around but had no idea what it was, so I tossed it down. No patching on Xbox, so that bow just stayed gone. 100+ hours lost. I never played it on Xbox again, and I've never had the heart to try to return to it, even on PC. It crushed me.

Oh man Xbox Morrowind, I lost a few hundred hours on my first play through as well. The women who gives you the third quest on the main story fell through the floor and that was that. I had done as many sidequests as I could before finding out my game was screwed.

The chase at the end of AC3 (before the patch), I was crying (crying!) in frustration. It was only my pride that got me through that one.
 
Legend of Dragoon final boss. Pissed me off so bad as a kid I ejected the disc and smashed it. After raging and the adrenaline rush wore off, I realized I screwed myself and never could beat the game because of this incident :( . I still to this day haven't completed the game and no friend in school would let me borrow their copy in fear of me destroying theirs.
 
fifa 14 truly made me angry, its the only game i've played on my ps4 that i haven't enjoyed

it feels horrible, the UI is a mess, servers still not sorted and the game's been out since september

the gk's do nothing, ball control and first touch are atrocious regardless of the player's skill level and deleting messages in your inbox is a chore

this game is one of my worst gaming experiences ever

Yeah I remember getting pretty angry at it too. Battles can go from perfect to complete disaster in the blink of an eye. I only started having fun with that game once I started to exploit it and become so overpowered it didn’t matter anymore. I enjoyed a few things about it but overall I regret spending so much time on the game to see it to completion.

For me Dissidia Final Fantasy is one of them. Now CPUs in fighting games are always frustrating for me because there is no fooling or tricking the AI. I can perform all the unpredictable movements I want but it doesn’t matter against a hard-coded AI routine. So anyways, on just about every map there are a few mindless enemies and one super leveled enemy guarding a treasure chest. I of course wanted that treasure and figured they wouldn’t put this stuff there at this point in the game unless it was possible. So I fight a higher leveled aggressive Jecht who one-shots me if I screw up…refusing to give up no matter how many times I try. I did it about 60-70 times before my wife made me turn it off and do something else. It was probably a combination of the difficulty and the realization that I hated this game I was so excited for.

Monster Hunter Tri would be another but rather than the game itself being the cause, it was other players. There was one evening me and my wife were playing online together. Normally I do the particular monster flawless but for whatever reason I hit some bad luck and died twice. Then some kid in our group starts telling me “stay at base camp, f****ng noob” and then when I didn’t listen, kept launching me with his hammer on purpose. Not sure why it got to me, but I ended up slamming my controller down on the couch and taking a walk outside.
 
I have been angry so many, many times, and I look back on each incident with shame.

The instance that immediately comes to mind is trying to beat the Meat Circus in Psychonauts with a mouse and keyboard. Cats fled in terror, my glasses got thrown across the room, and I ended up having to scan the floor with my hands to find said glasses. Pathetic.
 
Playing WoW raid during vanilla while in high school, at ragnaros, we down him, the hand of rag drops. I get passed over for one of the guilds friends who literally sucked at doing everything. I had already saved up enough materials to build the hand of rag incase one actually dropped. I had more dkp then the person who won it, and yet still overlooked.

We were both ret pallies. (Although I out healed almost all but 1 healer as ret LOL). He went on to promise players gold in exchange for helping make the hand of rag. He quit a month later after forging it, but not paying anyone back.


I still had those materials for hand of rag when I quit WoW the first time. When I logged back in I sold all of them because of how angry it made me.



O WoW bringing out good memories.

I still wouldn't trade the memories for anything else
 
I love these threads. My two stories for such are:

1) Smashing glass coffee table due to Bison's no-charge special move killing me while attempting perfect runs of SF2 on SNES. Also ended up with bottle cap embedded in knuckle during this episode.

2) Unleashing a Muy Thai style knee attack on my wall, leaving a huge hole, while trying to complete the reverse ice course in Wave Race 64

there are others but these were the stupidest
 
the last challenge on Jak 2, I was stuck on that for years. Also i just tried Dota 2, took me forever to get through the tutorial, just to get owned.
 
Back in the day the amazing pilots in Warhawk for ps3.

Recently: Carries..sorry Hunters in Smite that rush head first into the enemy in Arena before the tank starts the fight or before they have enough gear to even be considered a threat.
 
Shin Akuma annoyed the shit out of me. And I remember being pretty annoyed at the arbitrary randomness of some aspects of the final boss battle in FFXIII. Oh yeah and having some guy steal all of the loot from our first Onyxia kill after we'd put in the effort to kill her was pretty irritating.
 
There was a specific part of Double Dragon on the NES, the part where the blocks slide out of the wall and knock you off a cliff. It was probably my 955th attempt to get past this part, when I failed again I took the game out and smashed it to pieces with a ball-peen hammer. I still hate that game.

Love the music though.
 
Modern Warfare 2. Threw my controller and cracked it. Then took the disk out, put it in its case and flung it like a frisbee. Busted the case but somehow didn't break the game, which was what I was trying to do. I realized then I was getting way too worked up over a game and swore not to pick it up unless I had a better attitude. I've been much much more calm playing online FPS, ever since. I'll curse a little but the point is to have fun right!?
 
Only time I ever raged hard enough to break a controller was Fight Night Round 3 on the original Xbox. I think I was fighting Joe Frazier but it may have been Ali. After losing like 5+ times, I just started beating the controller on my chair as hard as I could until it all broke apart. Pretty damn funny looking back on it, I was only 13 or so
 
I've never gotten mad at Spelunky. It's weird, actually, because you die a lot in that game, but every time I die, even if I had an amazing set up and died in a flukey way, all I can do is laugh because I know exactly how I could've survived. It always feels entirely like my fault and makes me want to try again. It helps that it's really fast to get back into the game, so you don't lose much.

Dark Souls, though. I get furious with it because it just wastes my time so constantly. There's something absolutely idiotic about penalizing someone for wanting to progress rather than level grind. I never get too angry, because it's also an easy game to quit because it doesn't captivate me in any way.
 
Probably AssCreed 3's final chase mission. Because I kept trying for 100% sync I failed so much. I punched my pillow a few times, so thankfully nothing was damaged.
 
Skyrim on PS3. RAM problems meant i was trying all kinds of tricks to stop the crappy fps issue, so i disabled auto saves.

Went from around level 8 to 16 in one session and forgot to save, game crashed on me in the middle of a fight.

Honestly saw red when it happened and almost threw my controller into my TV. Never played Skyrim on PS3 again. Bought another Xbox 360 some time later (sold my previous one) and got Skyrim again, it was like playing a different game.

God damn you Bethesda.
 
I know it might came from other thread, but I don't want to bump old thread since someone linked us to there.

Well, here we go... I guess? It's impossible for me to remember all of it, but here are a couple of things that are in the back of my mind.

Also, I might as-well get these comments out of the way: "You're retarded", "Seek help", "Wow bro, you could've donated all that money spent on stuff to needing kinds in Africa."

These games made me break the following stuff:

Starcraft II
A ridiculous amount of stuff. A mechanical keyboard, over 5 regular ones, three mice (one Sensei, two Microsoft Intelli 3.0), two chairs, and lots, lots of other stuff.

World of Warcraft
PVP-server, Alterac Mountains... fucking Undead kept following me into this cave and eventually killed me. I punched my laptop that I had gotten free from school so fiercely - I destroyed it. Also: lots of keyboards, and a Steelseries mousepad

Counter-Strike
My Ice-mat, two keyboards, a mouse, my PC-table

Tekken 4
Destroyed a phat PS2, the Tekken Tag Tournament disc, two Dual Shock 2-controller

Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection
1 PS3 controller (SixAxis; shit quality anyways)

Tekken 6
The disc, a HORI-stick, two PS3-controllers

SF3: Third Strike
Killed a TV, and snapped a PS1-controller in two

Street Fighter 4
A bunch of random crap

Borderlands
Ate the cover and broke the disc in two
http://i.imgur.com/ABY1q.jpg

World of Warcraft

Metal Gear Solid 2
Shitty European Extreme-design. Two PS2-controllers (one time on Olga and the second time against those flying robots on the Plant-section).

Gameboy
Punched the screen of the (first) Gameboy and destroyed it

God Hand
A Dual Shock 2 and a DS3-controller.

Devil May Cry 4
Echidna boss-fight on DMD. Didn't get SSS-ranking and decided to punch my teeth so hard that one tooth broke. Also destroyed a DS3.

Diablo 3
Destroyed my soul

Dark Souls
My finger... long story :p Some of you know what happened.
http://i.imgur.com/ubIuu.png


I don't take pictures of my rage-material but I've saved some controllers/posters/random stuff that I broke inside this bag (it's a fucking mess :lol):

Do you mind tell me what caused you to lose rage in some of those games, such as Borderlands?
