"F--- this game!" (The game you fail at)
I'm sure we're all very experienced gamers here but there must be, at least, one game where we had to put down the controller and admit to ourselves that we're having a hell of a hard time beating it. Reloading level after level, checkpoint after checkpoint until we realise that there is no way we will ever beat it. It's that one moment where we lose our temper and say: "F--- this game."
I'll start. I've been through Gears of War on single player Insane (which was pretty hard), Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on Crushing (which was annoying), F.E.A.R. on Extreme (which was frustrating) and Resident Evil 5 on co-op Professional (which was enraging). The latter lost its "F--- this game"-Award to Ghostbusters: The Video Game for x360 and ps3. I'm talking about the Professional difficulty. The enemies and bosses are relentless, the AI of your team mates is retarded and the controls are clunky. F--- this game!  What's yours?

Hm, mine is probably World At War, mostly because the Reichstag took me 3 days to get through. Honestly, on that level, you could have 3 enemies throw a total of 25 grenades at you instantly and all of them would be perfectly spaced so as to prevent escape. Add to that the respawning enemies and I wanted to murder the entire dev team and replace them with people who actually understand the meaning of difficulty. I was able to beat it eventually, but I don't care, that's the game I hate most.

I'm not very good at video games, I will admit it. When I was a kid I was the boss but now I just don't have the time anymore. Off the top of my head:
Devil May Cry series, these games really pissed me off at times. I can't help but like them, thought. DMC III was a real nightmare. I never played the recent one, but I heard a lot of great things about the difficulty still being true to series. Awesome? Call of Duty 3 on Veteran. I just got fed up and gave the game away to friend. Mortal Kombat arcade for PS3/3660. I used to be so good at this but now I can't even complete the tournament without getting super f'ing pissed. Stuntman for PS2. Oh lord this game drove me nuts! Just look at this! I really liked that game thought, it was a cool idea. And of course few months ago I broke down and yelled "F--- this game!" after many, many, many solid hours of failing to beat "The Mile High Club" on COD4. For the love of god, my friend saying "It ain't that hard" over the phone did not help...at all. Seriously F--- this game! Also I remember when I was a kid I used to get super mad at Contra. My mother took my system away for entire summer.

Got some more: - Aliens vs Predator: Predator & Marine campaigns on Nightmare; no checkpoints. Fugheddaboudit. - Batman: Arkham Asylum: combat challenges. I managed to finish the game on Hard and I've got full gold on the stealth challenges but those bloody combat challenges... Seriously. - Killzone 2: Radec on Veteran, can't beat him. And after Veteran there is Elite...  Fugheddaboudit- Killzone: Liberation: Chapter 5 DLC, the final boss in the mech suit. Here's the kicker: I've finished the entire game on hard except for chapter 5 which I can't even finish on easy...  - Mirror's Edge: speedruns & time trials, especially the PURE pack. I broke my 360 controller (sturdy things...) over these and simply gave up. F--- these games!

For me , i tend to yell when a good game , a game i really enjoy playing it all of a sudden has either a glitch or design issue that is just WRONG ...
Best give some examples ... Assassin's Creed 2 ~ the glyphs puzzles , some of them are clever , but the ones involving the wheel of symbols makes no sense whatsoever and makes me stare at the screen for fourty minutes trying to figure out the code , i then go to see the solution on a wiki and it Still Doesn't Make Any Sense , it puts a complete halt to a other wise smooth game , it's a shame ... Bound in Blood ~ for the entire game i played as Ray , the one who doesn't die after getting shot in the foot , then all of a sudden at the end i HAD to play as Thomas ... for the entire game the player could choose which of the two brother to play as , and after this long journey and getting use to playing as Ray i am FORCED to play as the other dumb ass ? in one of the hardest level i might add ? it's a whole different strategy to play as Thomas and they expected me to just get along with it ? Go  Yourself ! (and don't make me rant about them Duels) ...Killzone 2 ~ asside from the fact that i didn't get a trophy for completing Veteran on my first playthrough (i did complete Elite on my second and got a well deserved gold trophy) , the one thing that makes me go nuts in this game is the lack of revival ... WHY can i revive my fallen comrades by pulling out a sweet lazer gun but They Can't Do The Same To Me ?!?? ... World At War ~ i hated Roebuck , i hated him , bastard keeps hiding behind a rock and tells Me to kill everyone , i wanted to kill him , i wish he would die and turns out in fact , he can die at the end ... except that i foolishly and instincly saved him ... to make matters worst i couldn't reload the last checkpoint so i had to stuck with him for the rest of the shootout , but that's nothing compare to the horror ... the horror of 'Earning' a trophy for saving Him , that man i hated throughtout the whole game , i saved him and got a trophy for it ... *screams so loud that an entire skyscrapper crumbled* ... See i don't hate none of these games , i enjoyed them alot , but it's these poor design choices that stops it from being a completely serene experience , and i just hate it ...

Well i did , and glad to have that gold trophy as well ...
The trick is not to button mash , but to follow the technique of jumping all over the place , like a ballet if you will ... it takes a lot of time to get your flow right but it's not impossible ... Then again everything we already completed looks easy when we look back ... so , yeah , i understand your frustration without really feeling it ... awkward ...

Yeah I tried learning the pattern but the thing is I didn't really enjoyed the game because my hands would get tried too soon. And yeah, I'm aware it's not impossible lol I never said that.

Stupid trophies , makes me dumb ... Seriously , what else is there for playing the combat challenges ? and why can't i use that armored looking suit for the storyline ? once you unlock the trophies the challenges are pointless ... i know there's a leaderboard but hell i didn't even bother to check how good i did ... They have to stop putting these frustrating challenges if it's only for trophies ...

Now on PS3, I just kinda get those trophies for fun. I will eventually have all of them from Heavy Rain, as they are not hard and simply fun. Right now I'm planning on getting my first platinum with Fallout 3 as those are really fun to do. Just pretty much working on the quests and other fun stuff. It's not frustrating and I feel like I'm playing the game for the fun of it.

It's nice to have trophies for fun , but i've never seen a perfect achievement / trophy list yet , because either they're too frustrating , or they demand too much 'grinding' or they're simply too easy ...
None of them are really fun , challenging and satisfying to obtain at the same time ... *pray for Dog Days to make a difference* ...

What's even more stupid (beside the game's plotholes) is that David Cage said that this is a game that it's better if we just played Once (and i agree) ... and then they make a trophy list that begs the player to play it multiple times ...

But yeah, I didn't find the plot holes to be that bad as I was entertaining with everything else.

I ALWAYS keep my save files when I get different endings or something because I like to see them again from time to time. Hence I always start a new game...You know, Heavy Rain convinced me to buy a PS3 but I'm not in a hurry to go back and finish it seven more times in a row. Fugheddaboudit.

Actually, when you replay the chapters you keep all the ending as you unlock because only thing you are altering is "current" storyline which you are going to change anyway because once you unlock ending A, you will go back to replay chapters to unlock ending B.
There are about 17 "Epilogues" and those are: These are just titles but they "might" be a spoiler to you, haha. Also there is another epilogue but you get it every time, it's the news report one. And even thought there is all those epilogues, they are usually connected in a string of three epilogues, and sometimes one (depends on your actions of course). I have only few unlocked but that's because I didn't know you had to replay chapters. And I'm not getting "Kamikaze" for some odd reason.

Random fact: the game that convinced me to buy an Xbox 360 Elite back in 2007 was Bioshock. Which I bought again for PS3 because of the exclusive DLC and the Survivor difficulty. Got a platinum (my very first, in fact) for it not too long ago.  EDIT: @ohitspatty: thanks for the list, I'll check it out. Last edited by JackGordon; 06-05-2010 at 03:06 PM.
