We all have our favorite games, the ones that make us feel good inside, the ones that we excel at and the ones we just couldn’t do without. I think we’ve all come across games that we love, but we also love to rage on as well. Everyone that knows me knows that I love a good multiplayer game and experience, the problem is that I’m often the victim of something that shouldn’t have happened or that was impossibly lucky, which in turns brings out the Incredible Hulk in me. Trust me, you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry. So with that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the games that I personally love to rage on, sometimes I even give in to my urges to rage quit. That’s not to say that these are bad games, in fact they are all quite good, which makes it all the more frustrating when something happens that causes me to rage.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
