Games that made you angry.

Ah, that would do it then, I don't remember any game where I put on the hardest setting. I know my capabilities far too well.
 
Contra Shattered Soldier on PS2....memorize or DIE...play it on normal or hard...3 lives and 3 continues? One hit kills? DAMN THAT GAME! but i love it!

Capcom VS SNK2 on the hardest difficulty, any system...fighting Shin Akuma or U. Rugal....seriously man that pissed me off.

Devil May Cry 3. (not the redone version) Fighting Virgil on hard or dante must Die. patience is key....not for me..
 
Friggin gran turismo, any of them, um, some puzzles in some RPGs, wow i can't think of other ones but i know their there.
 
yooo, the ghost statue puzzle in the mosoleum in Alundra!! I have passed that section every time by PURE LUCK i still don't know how to solve it!
 
yeah i have done that countless times, just made it through crap and i know i never will be able to do it again, then i DIE!!!
 
Gran Turismo A Spec

Reducing me to tears after I spent hours trying to do those crappy driving tests.
I never got far in gran turismo games, the tests were just too hard :(
 
Yeah I'd be terrible at that, GTA:SA's driving school on the second island kicked my butt so bad, it took me ages to get past that part.
 
Lol I can't believe I am gonna say this, but, 'jet set radio future' on the Xbox! That game almost killed me - I just couldn't get past like the 5th stage or something - I was more stuck than a fat bloke deciding whether to eat a salad or Macdonald's lol. I got so frustrated with the game I almost had a break down after months of trying to figure out what to do - after that I kinda felt depressed lol, became a recluse and almost had an anurism after all that anger - my blood pressure levels must have shot through the roof lol!!!

Another game which gave me a similar issue was the 'Thing' on the Xbox - however, unlike jet set, I eventually managed to complete it after a month or 2 away from the game.
 
Oh yeah i forgot about the mortal kombat games, well the ones for the ps2 anyways, seriously they get me frustrated. Also Blitz: the league, that stuff frustrated me. Why would they make it so you can't build your team, choose which players play, AND FRIGGIN HAVE STORY DRIVIN INJURIES THAT DESTROY YOUR QB FOREVER
 
What about Championship Manager?
I would always love that game for a couple of months and then get really angry with it. It was always so random, one game you would win like 5-1 or something and then lose 2-0 against a worse team.
 
FarCry has recently caused a bit of frustration. It's a great game and a real good experience overall but some of those checkpoints are just so poorly placed it can be awfully annoying at times. It's not too bad but I think a simple quite save function would have made a lot more sense, especially concidering it's one of the hardest FPS's I've ever played.
Halo 1 on PC also manages to do this. There are some points that I just had to do over and over untill I figured out the right course of action. And all along I'd have to listen to some of the same dialog over and over again. It's better than no-interuptable cutscenes though, now that's a cardinal sin.
 
Haha I get wot u mean - farcry was real bad with that lack of quick save... i missed f5 wen i played that game :( lego star wars is really frustrating as well lol. poorly placed save points and horrible UI
 
Really, man I hope I don't get frustrated with Lego Starwars, that game looked so bright and cheery, but yeah save points can always change that. UI? did you mean AI dude?
 
nope... UI as in user interface lol - not very friendly, its a bit crap too - i mean, the game as whole is a laugh but the save points are pants, ai a little dull, not to sharp but as a whole the game is brill.
 
This is the only sports game i played but i broke it after acouple games with my friends NBA JAM for genesis, id be ahead by 20 pnts then the rubber band technology kicks in i started get dunks rejected <<< i mean come on 3 rejected dunks in a row booooinnnggg, zelda on NES i have a bad memory and all rooms looked alike to me i literally had to draw map on paper just so i wouldnt go same way. and recently gunz the duel fighting a lagger with shotguns and hes using rocket launchers with splash damage just frustrating i broke my keyboard over my head,, < just glad i didnt have my saitek at the time i think that saitek would of owned my head. :P
 
i forgot about old games, man there is a plethora of genesis games. like charles barkley shut up and jam, which was really bad anyways, oh yeah and this one game, with this guy and a wip, i dunno games were nuts back then

Ohhh, got it man, must have slipped my mind as I was familiar with GUI and all. Go figure.
It's weird though about saving in games. I can understand a console game resorting to that without ample memory storage space for quick saves but I can't see why any PC game shouldn't offer at least manual saves, especially games built from the ground up for PC's.
 
I too don't have any clue why game makers do those checkpoints as the only retry possibility in a game... many games get lower ratings because of stupid checkpoint systems and people think twice whether or not to buy that game.

As much as I saw, nobody mentioned a saving system, which is something like a hybrid - you can save, but only a limited amount of times (Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix). That's tolerable and gives a certain spice to the game, especially if you can also put the save limit to unlimited (for rookie players and easy-level playing and again such thing is found is SoF2: DH).
