Maybe I have video game anger problems when it comes to certain games, but, I want to know if any others share my frustration.

The story: So, I bought somemore xbox 360 points to catch up on some old arcade classics.. TMNT the arcade game, Rush n' attack, Double Dragon, AND Street fighter 2 HD being the most recent. I loved Turtles. Rush n' attack was big graphic improvement from the regular NES port.. and Double Dragon was fun. All of which provided a nice nostalgic experience. That is... until I played Street Fighter. What can I say about this game, other than I should have known how I used to react to this game. I start the game as RYU at 12 am, after a few beers, and I will not stop til I beat the game. (Same with the other arcade games) MY God!! I make it to Blanca, and get cheaped to death 7 times in a F'in row! Im livid! Finally get passed Blanca, and 5 minutes of flipping off the tv, I press on... I work my way past the rest of the competition, balrog, Vega, and Sagat after using 3 continues, and THEN... BISON!! Now, in the old days I would have turned the game off before Bison, because I knew the amount of frustration to go through to get a victory was sometimes... uh.. just not worth it. Lets just say my controller hit the wall at least 5 times.. (Yes.. the 360 controllers are pretty durable).. Stayed up for the next 45 minutes in pure anger. I can't remember a recent time in my life where I was so PISSED!..Well.. i finally beat Bison, after about 20 or so continues, frustrated, and ready to email microsoft an email telling them NEVER to put such a horrible experience of a game out again. I HATE SF2.

Just thought I'd see if anyone else can relate!

I share your pain friend. There are certain games I just can't play, fighting games being one of them, unless I'm actually playing against one of my friends. I almost destroyed my Gamecube playing Soul Calibur. Despite that, I then bought Def Jam Fight For NY for my Xbox, and quickly had to give the game to a mate before I jumped through a window, or set fire to my house in anger. (ok, I probably wouldn't have, but I was very, very angry)

The absolute king of anger inducement, however, is Pro Evolution Soccer 6. That game cheats (it does, it does) like no other. I could be Brazil, playing against Togo, and somehow the Togoese become imbued with superhuman abilities and take the piss out of Ronaldinho and Ronaldo for 90 minutes, scoring 3 overhead kicks in the process, while my (computer controlled) goalkeeper coincidentally becomes incapable of catching a cold, often knocking the ball into his own net. I'm getting angry just thinking about it.

I love football though, so I keep playing it! Ah well. I'm completely laid back at work and socially though, so perhaps it helps having an outlet for my rage. I only wish controllers weren't so expensive...

Recently, Ninja Gaiden Black.

It's just that the save points are sooo far away...

I can get pretty frustrated playing Guitar Hero, actually. It's unbelievably annoying when you get 93% through a song only to fail.

My problem is that I will not just give up. If I start something in a game, I pretty much won't shut it off until it's done. In fact, I'm pretty much that way with everything. Sometimes it would be better just to let it go, but I just can't.

KillZone: Liberation made me want to destroy my PSP. Great game, but so freakin' frustrating.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma, IT'S SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!

Last weekend, my friend and I experienced a new level of anger toward a game when we crawled sluggishly throught the Expert campaign of Medal of Honour: Airbourne. 4am, groggy, and mildly-intoxicated is no way to face off against the entire Axis of Evil.

Also, NPCs getting one-hit-kill headshots with a KAR98 from across the map? That should never happen in a videogame, ever ever ever.

A few months ago, it was Resistance: Fall of Man. That friggin' Cathedral stage!!!!!!! Now? Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, the stage where ya gotta bring down a flippin' Star Destroyer! WHAT THE CRAP DO I GOTTA TAKE DOWN A STAR DESTROYER FOR? AND WITHOUT A SHIP OF MY OWN?! WHEN HAS THIS OCCURED ANYWHERE IN THE SAGA?! THIS IS COMPLETE BULLPLOP! I mean, the point of the stage was to destroy the factory that was makin' 'em. Now that I have, I've gotta make this gigantic p.o.s. ship crash while taking out multiple Tie Fighters. The stupidest thing about this stage is its repetitiveness. You take out several Tie Fighters with Force Lightning or floating engines. Then you gotta grab the Star Destroyer with The Force. After roughly 3 seconds, MORE Tie Fighters show up and you have to let go of the ship to deal with them. Then repeat. Over and over again! I've been stuck in this stupid stage for OVER AN HOUR! It isn't even challenging! I haven't even died! I'm actually at the point where I'm kinda just staring blankly at the screen and pressing the X button and then the triangle button until General Kota says "Take that ship down!". After that, I attempt to take down the ship and I see the little dots that are soon to be tie fighters trying to fly down my friggin' throat and I just wanna take my controller and break it in half! I'd love to know what the idiot who thought up this stage was thinking! I'd like to smack the ever living crap outta him/her! This stage is so friggin' stupid and pointless! AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY BEAT THAT STUPID, FRIGGIN', P.O.S. LEVEL! For anyone else who might be having trouble: The "secret" is to ignore the Tie Fighters up until your energy bar becomes red. Then stop taking down the Star Destroyer and deal with 'em. Quickly. Otherwise, you're just gonna be going through the same stupid cycle over and over again with no change in where the ship is! After discovering this, it only took a matter of a few minutes (if that) and the cinematic began of the ship crashing. I still hate that stage, though!
