Video Games that Piss You Off

[OldSchool]

Star Fox 64 is the last game that made me want to smash things.
There are two instances in the game where an NPC pilot (Katt or Bill) can fly in and destroy targets, therefore screwing your bonus multiplier and effectively ruining a high-score run.

I'm sorry but that made me laugh...




My most recent moment is with a Silent Hill game for the PS3: the camera cannot be inverted... I haven't looked into the 360 port yet to see if it has the same issue or not.

The game looks amazing, but I can't play without the camera being inverted. Why a patch hasn't come out from Capcom is beyond me, but I could easily fist fight whoever Produced that game... that kind of oversight warrants an old fashioned ass whooping.

'Hi Capcom... you want my $30... but you don't want to give me the option to Invert the camera... oh wait, I had to buy the game and take it home to find that out. Let's box instead.'

Doesn't fit the context of the show.

Also, there was a lot of running around on foot for a show revolving around flying airplanes.

Well, they could have made it more like the NES game, but that one was crap too.

Erm, that's because dolphins aren't fish.

I never played the NES game, so I'll assume the premise of the show just wasn't fit for a video game.

Recycled Jungle Book characters, propeller airplanes, air pirates, commie warthogs, and Sally Struthers.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series has pissed me off on many occasions. A lot of tasks require that you essentially make perfect runs, so if you fall once in the session, you have to start over or else you'll end with a shit score.

I agree with this. Pretty much the reason I used an unlock everything cheat on THPS2.

ON TOPIC: On occasions I got a bit pissed off at Crash 2 and 3. But not ENTIRELY pissed off, just pissed off at some things in the levels (those last tomb levels in Warped, OH MY FUCKING GOD!)

Then there was that time Virtual Cameraman pissed me off. Yes, that one FUCKING stage. Over, and over again. Didn't matter there was a naked chick, I had already seen that specific FMV lots and LOTS of times in this game. And after I beat that, I pretty much barely played the game again, because for me that was it. I had completed it, even though there were three more stages (three for one of the chicks and three more for the other one)

And two games that REALLY piss me off: Radikal Bikers and the SNES version of Pit Fighter. Pit Fighter is ball-breakingly hard. I don't even want to write about it anymore. Radikal Bikers is just terrible. And seriously frustrating. If you make one LITTLE mistake in a stage, you're basically fucked: you either get defeated by the CPU or the time runs out. Which in both cases means you have to restart or, if you forget about it, continue, which sends you to the very first stage of the route/area/whatever. Even if you failed in only ONE of the stages. And you will get even MORE pissed off with the music. It was done by the same guy who did the music of Smashing Drive, but this one is SUPER RADICALLY RADIKALLY AWFUL. The Pizza Man one... AWFUL. And I should have said this before, but the power-ups are basically USELESS. Even the turbo boost. It all sucks.

Pit Fighter on the Genny is one of the only Genesis games I've ever completed.... SNES port really that different???

[KALuther]

Mortal kombat 2, 3, and UMK3 AI REALLY PISS ME OFF. Even on very easy the computer in those games, especially UMK3 is so damn hard. It will instantly react to whatever you do. I've beaten them many times but never on the hard or very hard. The amount of frustration that would bring would just be god damn horrible. Luckily the 32X version of MK2 has a little easier AI than the SNES and genesis ports. Same with the N64 version MK trilogy, for some reason the AI in it is a whole lot easier than the AI in the saturn and PS versions.

Yes. For starters whenever you defeat an opponent and you go to the next stage you keep the same amount of life you had when you completed the previous one. So if you barely have any life left and you go against the next opponent you're basically screwed.

The other difference is that the hit detection is terrible. You hit the opponent and yet it does NOTHING. However, when he hits you, it's a whole other story. And the opponents can dish out MASSIVE damage. Which makes it even MORE frustrating.

All of them. They all piss me off because I'm arse at them. I still like them though, I'll just never get good at them, even with a montage.
