Once upon a time, many years ago when I was but a shit, I was playing Runescape. While on a quest in an essentially instanced area (At least, that's the terminology I'd use to describe now that my brain has been ravaged by Warcraft for a decade or so), I hit a lag spike and died to a trap that did continuous damage if you failed to move. Having lost my best gear and, due to a total lack of foresight, a considerable fortune in items and gold as a result, I promptly quit the game, never to play it again. No amount of time sunk could compete with the fact that losing all your shit when you die AND putting you in the same place new players spawn no matter where you died is a shit system.

I yet to actually face the terror that's Rugal Bernstein in the early King of Fighters games, but there still plenty of cheap asshole bosses in other fighting games

I'm necroing to announce that I've finally faced Rugal in KOF '98, and everything I heard about his difficulty couldn't at all prepare me for when I actually faced him.

Fuck Rugal. Fuck. Rugal. A 3-on-1 fight won't do shit to help you win. Get in too close? He'll do this bullshit fast slash attack. Use a jump attack? He'll pull off his piece of shit Genocide Cutter that can take down a quarter of your health if it's a counter hit (AND IT'S GONNA BE A COUNTER HIT). Wanna try to cheese him from far away by spamming a projectile? He'll just create an energy ball that protects him, goes through your projectile, and knock you over, or he could just use his lovely reflector to through your attack back. And don't forget, if he beats one of your fighters, he heals himself a little for the next round. He's fast, has bullshit hitboxes, blocks if you get too close, and will find the tiniest opening to annihilate you. The only reason I'm here to tell you about him is because I had to lower his health to 1/3 to beat, or else I'd be stuck there all night. Even then, it still took me three more tries. I'm genuinely scared to play KOF '94 if his Genocide Cutter could take down half of your health there, made worse that there was no individual character select in the first game. Fuck his energy ball. Fuck his speed. Fuck his health pool. Fuck the Genocide Cutter. FUCK. RUGAL.

Needless to say, I can't wait to face him again after KOF XIV confirmed he's coming back!
 
I played Sonic 06 with a big group of friends once. It took a few sittings, but finally we made it to the end of the game. That is to say, the part before where you have to go through small levels using 7 characters with the most fucked up physics ever and no mercy whatsoever. It was 1 in the morning. We played through some of the levels, dying and having to restart many a time before my friends gave up. I decided to take over the controller and played through some of the levels. I lost a life at one point, stared at the screen with the controller in my hands, muttered "Fuck this." and just shut off the system.

To this day we haven't beaten it
 
When I was little I had a hell of a time beating M.Bison on the hardest difficulty for "Street Fighter II" on the SNES. I was chimping out really bad and it caused my Dad to storm in the room and threaten to throw my SNES out if I didn't "knock it the hell off".
 
I attempted Mortal Kombat Advance. Before I did my research.

Utterly repugnant.
 
Last couple of days, Phantom Pain made me ragequit with mission 47. I understand it's total stealth and all but dammit, as much as I hate bringing it up again, that mission deserves to be special ops, a side mission. Not some main storyline mission. Either way though, I may as well say fuck it and just kill the target rather than extract him and his contact.
 
I have smashed at least one controller to bits every time I played a version of Mario Kart. I just broke my last spare controller earlier today, though, It was an xbox pc controller so it was trash to begin with.

And all the good controllers are gone from the shops, my only hope is ebay. Fuck wireless and the horse it rode in on.

Wireless controllers such as the PS3 controller I own can have it's defenders in saying "no wires make it convenient" and such but in all honesty, the wireless thing gets annoying when the control ends up making the wrong inputs. That's something I got when playing games like Armored Core V. Game thinks I want to purge my weapons despite the fact I didn't actually use the input for that.

Said false input on the controller have given me a rage-quit moment before when playing Armored Core V, especially in fights against AC pilots.
 
Darkest Dungeon.

Champion Level Hag.

Hit three early crits to which the bitch eats the stew four times.

Got her down to three HP for her to TPK the party.

Fuck her amd her goddamn cauldron.
 
Getting to the 2nd to last boss fight in Metal Gear Solid 2 on the hardest difficulty, like half an hour before the end of the game, going through the entire game not being spotted once or killing a single thing, and spiking a PS3 controller on my carpet because "I CAN'T FUCKING KILL ANY OF THESE ROBOTS WHEN ITS A 3 ON 1 FIGHT" It's just trying to dodge missiles and beams while trying to aim a rocket launcher in first person and trying not to get hit because you can only take like 2 hits.

More recently trying to learn how to fully play a song on Rocksmith and every time you replay it to practice and try to learn more hearing the narrator say at the end "Terrible Performance" or going through a tutorial that doesn't fully explain something and yelling inside my head "what do you even want me to do!?"
 
GTA:SA. Until you figure out that you can speed ahead of the train and jump on to shoot the ballers,

people complain about GTAV having the restart mission function, after playing that fucking train mission i must say it's a god send.
hell 4s restart thing was nice too (although i prefer 5s)
i didn't think that mission was too hard, but it was annoying to lose the mission and have to drive all the way from the country to the mission marker
 
A horde of nasty radroaches and their bloatfly friends in fallout 4s hardcore mode... There's no way to save face after that.
 
Not my moment but when my brother and I were kids and we played Pokemon Stadium he used to turn off the n64 before he would loose and then get angry.
He was like 10
