It didn't have as much polish as claimed, it didn't control as well in the dashing department. I didn’t like Sword Calibre.

Another game that got so frustrating at the end that I've never actually beat it. Too bad it got mentioned too late to make it to the show. Pixel's Birthday was yesterday. Ooh, Cave story.

Too bad it got mentioned too late to make it to the show. Pixel’s Birthday was yesterday.

Getting blue shelled in mario kart, hands down. No other video game event can make me tear out my hair like that. Especially when it happens 3 times in a row. Other honorable mentions include the hell level in Cave Story. Most frustrating video game moment ever… Getting blue shelled in mario kart, hands down.

I then spent the next hour and 50 minutes being sonic boomed, chain shoryuken'd and spinning pile drivered into oblivion, when i finally did it I did the adrenaline rush battlecry and then had the girlfriend come in and scold me as it was 1 in the morning. Then there's any time you ever get stuck in a point and click adventure and end up haveing a WTF moment when you find out what to do next. Personal favourite for this is grim fandago that game is insanely hard but thoroughly worth it. and not to forget any game with a lives system, from the oldskool era such as paperboy, ghouls and ghosts, alex the kid, contra and metal slug, when you run out of that last continue and have to start all over again. my pick goes to ninja gaiden (whole series) mainly because to make a game addictive and still fun the player is supposed to feel like its their fault if something goes wrong so they want to try again (can see why you hated that mario sunshine bit Carboni, its the perfect example) runner up being prince of persia on 360 for the descent from the tower section in the warriors area more than thirty actions in a row if you mess any of them up you have to start again from the top of the tower {¬.¬} that one made me turn the console off for a day. when you put the ninja gaiden games onto the hardest difficulty it gets to the point where killing a boss stops being about skill or ability and turns out to be sheer luck or a one off fluke. /activatenerdrage anyways sorry for the wall of text i expect to see a few tldr's :D there are plenty of frustrating moments in gaming that we’ve all faced at some point, lots of popular ones but i have to say its been a while since i threw the controller in rage.

runner up being prince of persia on 360 for the descent from the tower section in the warriors area more than thirty actions in a row if you mess any of them up you have to start again from the top of the tower {¬.¬} that one made me turn the console off for a day.

when you put the ninja gaiden games onto the hardest difficulty it gets to the point where killing a boss stops being about skill or ability and turns out to be sheer luck or a one off fluke.

It wasn't just that the difficulty ramped up but there was also a recurring sound effect of someone hacking up phlegm every few seconds. It was like listening to the maddening sound of a tap that wont stop dripping ... if the sound of a tap dripping also made you want to puke. Dude the Meat Circus in Psychonauts drove me insane.

I wanted to lose my mind. I wanted to tear the game disk from the system, devour it, ravage the ps2 with something--anything I could grab to deal damage with, and in the end, curl up in the fetal position and weep. haha. Playing through the game on hard mode... it's just something that probably shouldn't be done by any sane person. it's a good way to lose your mind. needless to say, I haven't even given the attempt on GoW2. Screw that. O_o Seriously. I wanted to lose my mind.
