top 3/5/10/whatever list of the most frustrating games u ever played

we already have a thread for the top games we ever played, but i couldn't find one about the most frustrating / annoying ones.
so, here we go.

1. Virtua Striker 2 ver.2000.1 - Dreamcast
this is my absolute most hated game, but i still play it from time to time. paradox, isn't it :D the AI is absolut unforgiving, and if the game decides that u can't win, u CAN'T win, no matter how good u are. i guess it's because of it's arcade origins. from time to time my friends and i start a tournament, everyone chooses his favorite team and we start, BUT we almost never finish the tourney, cause the one who loses get so upset, that he RAGE-quit, lol. i lost about 10 pads or something, because i had to destroy something. GRRR.... i guess it's a hate-love relationship between me and the game. :)

2. Motorstorm / Motorstorm: Pacific Rift - PS3
i WANT to platinum pacific, only reason i play it! absoluty NO FUN!
ARGHH nothing more to say here

3. Street Fighter II - SNES
this game is the only one that suceeded in making me so angry that i destroyed it, haha. i DON'T regret it, can u hear me M. Bison? I DON'T REGRET IT!!!!!

qwop.

1. Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception
Yes, its a darn good game, but some missions, especially on Ace mode, just piss me off. 1 missile hit and your down? With the most ridiculous restrictions on movement ever? Damn. Why?

2. Race Driver GRID
This may just be me being an imbecile, but again, awesome game. The Le Mans 24 hour race I have a problem with however. 12 minutes, and EVERY SINGLE TIME SOMETHING GOES WRONG IN THE LAST FEW LAPS. Worst bit? You've used all your flashbacks for some minor losses of control earlier on.

3. Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition
This game, my only major gripe about it is the AI. I mean, it gets so ridiculously hard at the end, I once had to restart a race 56 times (Yes, I counted) because of AI passing me because I deviated from the ideal route a tiny bit. You really need to nail EVERY SINGLE TURN, it is so unforgiving. The loading times when you have to restart don't help matters any.

+1.

Although I'd add Oblivion/ Fallout 3/ New Vegas, simply because Gamebryo is a stone-age piece of **** that doesn't want to work under any circumstance. So glad that Skyrim isn't using it.

Which one? (you stuck on?), I know that the hardest game I ever played and got plat!:rock

stevie:)

Flatout Head-On (Flatout 2)
The game that drove me to break my PSP :P Luckily a new LCD was only £15! It's so frustrating because of the rubber band AI. You can build up a huge lead, and one of the AI drivers just waltzes past you!

Can't think of any others that I've played, apart from 'I Wanna Be the Guy', which is supposed to be unfair and frustrating. It's a freeware PC game, check it out.

Qwop is just funny :P

Haha, I've noticed you playing that loads recently, didn't realise it was driving you mad :g

Race Driver Grid was more frustrating for the Ravenwest matches if I'm honest.

3) Uncharted - Drake's Fortune: Dodgy platforming, irritating shooting and a crazy difficulty level at times. I haven't got past Chapter 6 and I don't think I ever will.

2) L.A. Noire: Gah! I knew he was lying! But it's the last interview and if I want to do it again I have to restart the whole case... *cries*

1) Angry Birds Rio: There's always one sodding pig left. And no, you can't skip ahead to another chapter if you get bored. Because this one's supposed to have plot. *throws iPhone out window*

Most frustrating ! Wipeout HD for me.:|

Dave.

my most frustrating games were:

1.: Settlers V
Stupid gameplay at all.

2.: Settlers II - next generation
Nice graphic but stupid warfare.

I'm a real fan of Settlers III + IV but the sequels .... :blarg

3.: Empire Earth
The AI was very hard to beat.

My 3 would have to be this:

1. Demon Souls. Very hard to get into. I started to lose interest after awhile due to no clear cut path to take. A little too confined in an open world type experience.

2. Midnight Club LA. Ai was stupid, boring and the constant banter was enough to turn me off right there. Not to mention very frustrating progression curve as you have too many vehicles available and not enough cash. Handling stunk worse than Juiced 2 as well

3. Armored Core: Last Raven. Now i love Armored Core. I do, but this one was totally fubar as you were expected to completely have every part available to you from Nexus. If you didn't you were SOL. There is also a question of the story they tried to do but they never capitalize on the story to drive it.

i love siedler III. i can remember me playing skirmish mode with the romans on the biggest available map vs 3 AI on hardest difficulty settings. at the end of this particular skirmish game i had an army with about 5000+ units :) that made the game to slow down so enormously, that i had to abandon lol. was unplayable, my pc was not bad!

@ stin:
i was able to complete motorstorm 1 once, and i never touched it again since.
pacific campaign is an absolutly pain in the ass. the time attack mode is relatively easy in comparison, but online is like playing vs GODS. im always thinking every opponent is cheating like hell (infinite boost, and BS like that). still on veteran level and for gods sake i can't get up the last two levels i need for the 'legend' trophy.
ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH

Have you met Answerer recently? It flies. It's an Arms Fort. I need Jehuty to even go near the damn thing. :cold

@mdhay- That was a tough one, you need a good generator/booster combination to be able to stay in the air all the time and use no EN weapons to take it down. There's a place where missiles don't hit you and you can bomb those "wings" safely. Grenade launchers were my choice.

1- AC is truly one of the most frustrating series I can remember.
2- Street Fighter IV playing online, just when you think you're good, someone kicks your ass badly... with Dan.
3- Battlefield 2 (online), actually because it is not my thing. Thanks to snipers I can't get even close to the action.

Yes as a matter of fact, but I found only a couple of those missions to be totally frustrating. Not the WHOLE GAME. To me, Armored Core could have ended at Silent Line and I would have been a happy camper. Although if another were to come out(unlikely), I would give AC another shot. ;)

There is.

@ JF: That happened to me many times with my old PC :frown:. Man finally pulls into the war only if we can win it ;). That e.g. the reason why I don't like Settlers V. I cannot run my enemies into confusion with max 200 men (including civilians) .

Yeah, this thread was absolutely essential!

Here´s my "Top :twisted 3" list:

1.] NES - Double Dragon III
Man, this game so hard and on top of that it´s not even worth worrying about, because the ending sequences are rubbish.
Well, ask an expert -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMg6_IXCjo4

2.] NES - Battle Toads
Frustrating hard - on all platforms. :bomb

3.] NES - Silver Surfer
There´s simply no chance to finish this piece of crap, because everything in this game is deadly for your protagonist.

If you might receive the impression that I really hate the NES...yes, that´s the plain truth.

hey stin, i really need tips from u (pacific rift).
how on earth is it possible to boost without interuption? it seems that the first three / four players (rank 5) always boosting without letting go their fingers from pushing the boost button, hmm. impossible to win, cause i have to cool down my boost, otherwise my vehicle explodes. i really, really hate this game, i almost destroyed my pad today.
