"Games should be fun.
But sometimes they get to a point where the challenge simply becomes beyond frustrating and makes you feel like an incompetent, so you don't finish. Sometimes maybe it is your lack of skill, but other times it is just poor game design.
Or maybe the game becomes so boring that it becomes too frustrating to even bother finishing. After all, every second is a second lost of your life you'll never get back, and who wants to be stuck playing a game that's no longer fun?
Here are some of the games that have got under the skin of our staff.
Please let us know what games have pissed you off in the past (or present) in the comment section below."
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
I had it all wrong...Blue Dragon is awesome!
Lost Odyssey is one of the best jrpgs of that era but got killed because it was bought up and released on the "wrong" console.
Great game. The 360 had some really good turn based games back in the day. Absolutely loved Lost Odyssey too. I think they are both Sakaguchi creations.
This game together with Lost Odyssey, The Last Remenant and Tales of Vesperia convinced me to buy a 360. This game made my 2007 which ended off with mass effect.
Honestly, a fantastic game, especially if you were a fan of old-school JRPGs. I hate that this genre rarely can come back to these roots.
Yes there are a lot of categories:
Games you get stuck not finishing because they bore you to death...
Games you get stuck on because of spawning enemies from everywhere..
Games you get stuck on because of glitches...
Games you get stuck on because of stupid bosses...
Games you get stuck on because they are too hard...
Games you get stuck on because they are too long...
I really try to finish all games I get these days, but it can be a chore and achievement points and pride seem the only reasons to contiune...(Not very good reasons though...)
Games that are so hard they make me want to break the disc in half (Ninja Gaiden springs to mind), or games that are so boring and devoid of immersion they make me hate myself for buying it (Terminator Salvation anyone?)
To tell you the truth, I don't finish most of my games - fast. Many wait months before getting to the end, so paitence is one fo my abilities, but some of the games just drive me around the bend and get put aside for a 'rainy day' . .
When all else fails and I need some frustration or venting, out come those games. But yes, several of those game mentioned, and the Ninja Gaiden one above sure do do it for me . . .
lol no one mentioned Mike Tysons: Punch out. lolz
I think the most frustration I have ever faced in a game, was TMNT on Nes. Those underwater sections with electric seaweed (LOL) were so bloody hard...
