What are the things that make you angry while playing games?

We all have those table flipping moments when we are just
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ UGGHHHHHH
For me it would be challenges that are too challenging (FFX 200 lightning bolts anyone?) and of course PLOTHOLES. I mean, Heavy Rain is probably one of my favourite games ever but there are too many things that just don't add up, you know.

The ones in the poll are just few of the many options but there would be many more: poor story, bad endings, crappy sound quality when they talk and you can't hear them over the sound of the soundtrack, bad dubbing etc.

LETS GET ANGRY TOGETHER, MY FRIENDS

Lv.1+ giveaway of a game that makes me angry.

I never get angry, I'm a spiritual human being and I love the whole world and all its inhabitants
Steamed vegetables (a.k.a. I don't really care/just here for the gibs)

Overly difficult (often indie) games and the inevitable failing time after time.

I don't like dying often, in addition to not being able to quicksave any time.
So, platformers and Darks Souls are not my type of games =)

Puzzles that make no sense

is what I answered of the available options, point and clicks can be notorious for this shit sometimes, puzzles whose solutions are (even after brute forcing it) still seem completely illogical.

what I'd like to answer is when playing multiplayer games and people go out of their way to troll / be a bad sport

I should have added a multiplayer related option, it's a very popular answer it seems!

me and 2 friends had every achievement but 1 on left for dead 2 and it was win a game on the hardest difficulty. we finaly got ready but opened it up for another player figuring it would be better than a bot. they log in, gun all 3 of us down, and we have not played the game since.

Gaming is supposed to make you feel happy, not angry. I tend to throw in the junk bin every game which fails to do so.

  1. Those frustratingly impossible achievements that factor in luck... Arkham Asylum Shock and Awe Extreme anyone? I've had that game waiting to get 100% for a couple of months cause of 1 challenge.
  2. Being required to do something very very fast and you seem to be on a roll... and then your controls fuck up and you do something you totally did not intend to do and it costs you the objective.
  3. Saving regularly in a game only to realize your last save was a half hour ago and you fucked up.

Arkham Asylum was okay for me.
Arkham City… when I realised I need to collect all Riddler trophies, then do all the challenges… four times, because all characters have their achievements… just no. No way in hell. The combat by itself is boring and repetitive enough, I have better things to do than spending 20+ hours with it just for a few achievements.

I just can't beat Shock and Awe Extreme. I give it a good 20 tries then ragequit :P.

Maybe it's your That One Boss/Level. Everyone has those, which are not impossible and you can see others beat them, but you just cannot for some reason.

Making a flawless run, but accidentally quicksaving a splitsecond before something kills you, and you don't have a normal save? Now THAT also sucks :D

It has happened to my as well in Skyrim, it was one of the few times I had to use console commands to get away because the previous save file was like 2hrs before that and just NO ;_;

PES when I lose over and over against computer.
Somehow the pass and shoot didn't turned out exactly what I want.

Tekken 5 where I have to retry over and over in arcade mode.
I'm not good at fighting game.

So I guess, it's "Challenges that are TOO challenging" ?? lol

Insta-fail stealth sections and bosses, that are only there to be:
a) an unnecessary difficulty spike
b) a shitty annoyance, that doesn't even present a real challenge but has some sort of dumb gimmick

QTEs can be good, if they're done right. If they're here in order to add more tension in a stressful situation and aren't very tedious, then I really don't mind them.

"challenges that are too challenging"

you mean challenges that are cheap and unrewarding?

That too!
And in that category I would include also challenges made exclusively for that last damn trophy, which otherwise no one would bother to face

Bullshit game mechanics when they change the rules because that's the only way to increase the challenge.
When the camera decides to be your worst enemy.
Parts which are pure trial and error with no previous explanation. I especially hate it when point 'n' clicks resort to that, because it is just a cheap trick to add a few hours to the game play for no effort from the designer part.

This is the reason why I don't play many bullet hell and "hardcore" platformers. However, if you still want to try some "fair" shoot'em up games, I can recommend Sine Mora, Drive to Hell, Phoenix Force and Platypus

It was terrible. I just sat there for like 10 minutes staring at the screen in silent rage. I didn't play that game for a few weeks after that.

Crap like bosses that are immune to all status effects and debuffs and have way too much HP and overpowered attacks, leaving the only way to beat them being levelgrinding until you can faceroll it.

Basically, most JRPG final bosses.

Games based too much on RNG and people in MP games who exploit or think that playing that game is their job are the top ones.
Other than that: games that are too easy or repetitive, plotholes, lame stories and sexualised characters, graphics in which they did not put too much effort. I don't really mind bugs, unless they are game-breaking. When I say that these things make me angry, I mean that I stop playing those games.

Depending on the graveness either of the above.
Bad ending: Deponia serie (love every second of the game but after the ending I was so fucking angry)

Randomness: Hearthstone (as a beginner I dont have that good cards to choose from but to see that even grand master fail because of bad luck at drawing...)

Challenges: Binding of Isaac ethernal achievments (the farming of specific required for a runthrough was so damn annoying I don't even want to remember)

Teammates: We playing Heroes of the storm and nobody tries to communicate and gets slaughtered because they think they can handle a 1v5 situation -.-

I've been a dog person all my life and just got a cat recently. And now I know why there are all those jokes about killing cats and games like Bad Rats and stuff. Sometimes... But it is fun to watch him play with toys.

Right now - stupid bots in Insurgency (I'm trying to understand game mechanics).

They can miss from 2 metrers, but hit you from 200 metres. Almost all my grenades fraged bots from my team - they just running to it. And last - my average time alive in this game - 2 minutes.
