NHL 14. Or the NHL series in general I suppose. It's the closest I've come to just tossing the PS3 out the window. I've done serious damage to my controllers at this point (having a solid wooden coffee table to slam it into sitting right in front of me is dangerous lol), and I'm very close to not caring if I throw it away in a fit of rage because NHL 14 is the only reason I use the damn thing anymore.

Like the actual sport, I've never seen a game where you can completely dominate the entire fucking match and still force me to leave completely empty handed on a semi-regular basis. Since this is a game, an EA game no less, a developer notorious for adding "catch up" mechanisms to their racing games to avoid terribly one sided matchups... I'm not convinced that it doesn't programmatically fuck me over if I start getting the upper hand. It's tough to swallow that it's purely coincidence that I can make fantastic passing plays to start a game, and have the same players ruining great rushes and set ups by completely botching simple passes late in the 3rd... literally not even passing it in the direction I'm pressing.

GRRRRR....

EDIT: Yes, this is an excuse to vent lol. But by all means, do the same with whatever shit you're currently playing.

Hotline Miami made me rage at how bad it was, but mostly, no rage, if I lose I go play another game.

Lately though I've been pretty miffed that I can't AAA Legend of MAX in DDR Extreme, it's such a bullshit easy level and I always get a random Great somewhere.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. It actually made me feel my IQ dropping while playing. The other CoD games that came after might piss me more if I played them, I wouldn't know, cause I NEVER WILL.

Well, I have anger issues, so you can imagine some games will grind on my temper. Although I try my best to hold it in, platformers always drive me to the point of going on a rampage, screaming and stomping like an imbecile. I hate them, I suck at them, and I can't get better at them. But of course, I still play them nonetheless, because I am apparently a masochist.

Dark Souls, Magicite, Realm of the mad god, Monster Hunter and FFXII (spending like 1 hour to defeat a boss then one mistake happen and you're dead, that's not fair you know? :'[)

Lately platform games with multiple bosses at the end of the level/game. Cave Story+ (the three bosses, or should I say, five bosses in a row thing is ridiculous there), Megabyte Punch (two bosses in a row at the end of the game were a pain in the ass until I figured out the way to beat them), last "boss" in 140 was driving me mad (the inverted directions idea made me mad as hell), bosses in Mr. Bree+ were pretty tough. Aside from that Super Meat Boy but I haven't played that for a long time.

Also Spec Ops: The Line on the hardest difficulty and Spec Ops mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on veteran are probably the most hardest things I've ever beaten. Got me rage as hell.

Limbo, right now. Started the game and I got stuck 10 minutes in to the game. These stupid, moving legs are blocking the road and I can't get passed them by any way....Ugghghghghgghghgh!

It gets worse after a while. Limbo has ended up on my backlog due to it. At the start of the game, all the puzzles have a solution, then everything boils down to perfect timing.

So what the what the hell can you do to beat the game? Cause right about now, I've given up and don't plan to ever play it...

Oh yes, this. And I guarantee you, seeing those legs suffer is worth the hassle.

Because it's a military game? That whole subgenre of shooters is extremely annoying to me. But sometimes I can forgive them if they don't have a 3D graphics style/viewpoint.

Maybe it's just me but when a game is annoying or pisses me off I delete the game and move on to another.

I have too much backlog and too little time to spend my time playing something I'm not enjoying.

Very wise. Isn't the point of playing a game to relax and enjoy oneself?

I personally find the most enjoyment in games when I feel I have accomplished something, and that normally happens after completing a part I've been stuck on or that one boss that has took what feels like forever to beat. Casual games are good to relax on I admit but the real meat in games for me are the hard games with the hard difficulties (not including bugs they just annoy me more)

Have you played Eternal Daughter? That ending is VERY much worth the challenge of beating it finally. That whole game is extremely difficult, so just surviving to the next area or through the current boss is a major achievement. And the game's free. :)

I would agree with you completely... if there weren't something so addicting about the NHL games. Can't really put my finger on it.

Cloudbuilt because I'm trying to get good times without looking up other people's routes and failing miserably, and the game likes to occasionally bend me over and paddle me when I miss a jump and fall to my death. Then I need to restart the whole goddamn level because I'm a total assburger.

Anything which relies heavily on quicktime and/or timed events. Especially games which tie player death to QTEs overriding any healthbar. Add that to checkpoint autosaves and it means almost constantly losing and having to repeat 10-20 minute gameplay sessions regardless of whether I cheat or not because I unfortunately suck at QTEs (especially if the game mixes up which button I actually have to hit).

For example the wolves in the Tomb Raider reboot...

Also makes some of the boss battles in a game like Castlevania LoS take almost a whole hour (like VS the Ice Titan)...

Man, you'd HATE Indigo Prophecy for PS2, or released later for PC called Farenheit

Good to know, though I can't say I'd ever want to play it even without that warning.

FWIW, the name of the game is dictated based on the region it was released, not necessarily the platform. It was only named Indigo Prophecy in North America.

TBH I don't know why they really used either name, but I just read that on wikipedia.

Games with bad controls are pissing me off the most i think, i don't know how to describe them, but i think you know what i mean. Luckily for me i drop these games real fast, unless there are some redeeming factors like story or atmosphere and this is where the pain starts.

Resident Evil 6. I love, love, love me some Resident Evil, despite the shift from survival horror to action, but sometimes the companion's AI is just so... bad. Between Sherry not knowing how or when to jump and Leon's general derpitude, I just can't. Helena's AI is at least somewhat decent, even though occasionally I lose track of her because she runs off chasing some half-dead ghoulie I opted to leave incapacitated.
