Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (PS2)

I could not for the life of me wrap my head around the card based gameplay. To me, it was a very obnoxious and shoe horned mechanic that only served to attempt to disguise the fact that I was simply playing through a rehashed version of the first game, but with added bosses and a different story. During the second half of the game, I was dying over and over to bosses, and it wasn't even the fun kind of dying where I feel like I'm learning something every time I die, it was just absolute torture.

Worst part was, in order to get the full story, I would have to play through the game again as Riku, and I sure as hell wasn't going to do that. So, I made it to the game's final area as Sora, and after just a couple of random fights, I just gave up. I was just not having fun with the game.
 
Dark Souls 2 gave me moments of rage quit. Using the best example: Maldron the Assassin in the Iron Crown DLC of Dark Souls 2. He's programmed to run away like a bitch down some stairs containing enemies that get buffed by the Nadalia idol that is nearby.

Dead Island gave me a bit of rage quit due to how the game spawns enemies like the infected. I despise fighting those sorts of enemies since they did me in most of the time with thugs coming in second. I know there are certain ways to beat them but the way they get spawned made me rage-quit once they killed me and I lost my money due to bullshit deaths.

Phantom Pain gave me rage-quit through the recycling the fight against the Skulls on Extreme. To note, these guys get a buff in attack and defense. It made me feel like DSP in wanting to say "fucking Kojima" because a mission like that, being repeated, doesn't feel fair nor does it feel worthy of being a main story mission (this is more suited as a side-ops). I was relieved after finding out the high-grade sniper rifle (Brennan I think) was good in killing them.

Peace Walker made me rage-quit thanks to the interrogation scene from Strangelove. Button-mashing X to save myself was a pain. It wasn't fun like in the first MGS where you get electric torture. On a similar example, the fight against the chainsaw wielding flesh monster guy in Ada's campaign on RE6 made me rage-quit due to having a similar button mash though in this case being "spin the thumbstick". I honestly wonder why that shit has to happen. Most of the time, I died due to an oncoming train. These QTE's and button mashes aren't fun so as much as good in making one rage-quit.

Dude, that keyboard/slider puzzle in the rocket was fucking bullshit.

Challenging, but I remember the observatory/star chart puzzle with much more hatred. I still remember which buttons to press to raise the ship which I guess I memorized just so I'd never have to do that one again.
 
I was playing 2p Wesnoth campaign with a friend. One of the campaigns (at the easiest level) includes having to defeat the Undead and the Trolls.

The Undead are easily manageable. The trolls however start without fail by spawning two Troll Shamans. They hit like a truck, have a ton of HP and also have automatic regen.

They also both tend to travel together, stealing all your villages, meaning you get progressively less useful if you don't do things right.
 
  • Frog Town in Legend of Kay (gave up entirely on that, impossible)
  • Ravenholm's big ending puzzle, couldn't fucking stand that place.
  • Any game that suffers from "Low Level Blues" - i.e: The first few levels as a character are unplayable - eg: Morrowind.
 
Final Doom: Plutonia
I have Project Brutality (For those who don't know, it adds a multitude of features and enhancements to the overall structure of Brutal Doom.) With new monsters such as the Overlords, Ice Viles, Belphegors (souped Barons of Hells,) Infernal Arachnotrons, and other vexing monsters that have made me curse like a fucking sailor. On Map 30, the Gatekeeper keeps on sending out these Soul Cubes, needless to say I have the game on Death Wish so that makes everything an infinitely arduous task to take it down.
 
I still haven't beaten the last boss of Clock Tower 3 because of how bullshit he is. I haven't tried again for years now, but I bet that even if I did my chances of winning would still be very slim.
 
-The Rebel Flagship in FTL with it's fucking bullshit assfuck missile launcher and that "repair everything forever" AI system.
Fuck it.

-That final puzzle of Fallout 4's Far Harbor DLC where you go into the computer system.
A good puzzle is one that challenges your brain to find the solution. This was a very simple puzzle with an obvious solution and 30 minutes of block stacking to complete. Also, first person platforming has never been fun in any game ever, and Bethesda should know better.

-FF8 Ultimecia boss fight.
Even by Final Fantasy standards, four fucking stages for a boss fight is excessive.
 
Fallout 4 survival mode with no mods. Considering that hardcore mode for Fallout New Vegas wasn't exactly a huge jump up in difficulty I didn't take my starter stats seriously at all and did no research.

For those who haven't tried survival mode it features the following:

- No saving at the menu or quicksave. The only autosave you get is from sleeping.
- No fast travel. Ever.
- You die easily. Molotov cocktails will one hit kill you for like 20 levels. Assaultron laser eyes WILL slice your legs off.
- You now have to maintain food, hunger, sleep, no illnesses, and your immune system. Failing to do so will give you multiple stacking stat debuffs and then death.
- Stimpacks work very slow. VERY slow. To the point where you should only be using them to heal limbs.
- You can carry less and ammunition has weight. More inventory management and loot assessment. You need copper more than armor that protects you 15% more from mirelurks or the third gun you thought would be a good idea to bring along.
- If you keep killing without resting then you get various levels of the Adrenaline. Every 5 kills adds another 5% damage up to +50% damage.

You will lose an hour or more worth of progress on a regular basis. You will feel like a killing machine because your adrenaline stat is high as fuck and you know how to use cover but out of the blue your body goes limp as a Molotov cocktail explodes in slow motion. I don't rage at games but I actually caught myself muttering "Fucking Codsworth" when he blocked my shots of the last almost dead raider, which causes Codsworth to "die", and of course just as I'm about to get a clear shot again I have to reload. Boom. An hour gone.

Motherfucking Codsworth.

PersonaQ. Elizabeth gave me a request to beat the Festival Guys FOE, so me thinking I'm a big shit decided to just rush in. After getting destroyed a few times, I pulled my resources together, put on my serious face and fought the fuckers.

Got them down to 10% health, had leg binds in place so they couldn't hit worth a damn or evade any hits. Everything was looking great until they got off their one move I hadn't anticipated: Diarahan.

With their health back at full I just stopped, checked their stats, ran from the fight, healed, restocked, saved, and shut the game off and hung my head in utter defeat.

Came back later with Panic Circle and Myriad Arrows though. Eat shit, Festival Guys.

>I kill pretty much everyone outside and send a guy inside to plant the bomb
>The cunt beast pictured above runs out of fucking nowhere towards my poor soldier while he's planting the bomb
>He tries to run away, but the devs thought it would be funny to let this asshole not wait her turn
>All Alien Rulers get an ENTIRE TURN after EVERY ONE of your soldiers actions, that includes things like reloading and moving
>The bomb soldier gets stunned, I try to draw the thing away with the rest of my soldiers
>This nigger has like 30 health and 3 armor (i only have tier 2 stuff)
>I try to toss a frost grenade at it to buy the bomb guy some time to run back to the Evac zone, frost bombs usually freeze someone for a good 2 turns
>It doesnt last 2 seconds
>In the time it took to throw that grenade this thing is now up in the business of my entire squad
>EVERY ONE OF ITS ATTACKS HURTS AND STUNS EVERYTHING AROUND IT
>Postal Dude dies, Fedsmoker and Venom Snake are down for 2 turns. Savage beating ensues

Just last week, I was having a blast playing Borderlands 2 for 15 hours straight a day and listening to Axton be a dorky bro because when I get hooked on a game, I get hooked hard.

Then, I had to fight off Jack's nonstop waves of Hyperion fuckbots at Overlook in The Highlands where my only corrosive weapon was that quest reward pistol I got from Tiny Tina and my other weapons were an admittedly nice but by now outleveled legendary explosive assault rifle and a blue-quality sniper rifle. This goes on while Angel is SCREAMING AT ME NONSTOP IN THE EAR TO DEFEND THE FUCKING MOON SIGNAL PROBE. But I grit my teeth and held on, while my Firehawk shield got me through.

Then the Badass Loader showed up. And my turret was on cooldown.

I eventually lost $10k to that fucking Loader. Fuck Handsome Jack, fuck Hyperion and their fuckbots, and fuck Pandora.
 
stuntman was basically ragequit the game
I would get pissed off at it's bullshit, i would quit
then come back and finish the level
then quit the next level
and come back

I'm sorry, i will be salty if an explosion knocks me off a mountain to my death and the directer is like WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
or if i had a perfect run, but i failed the last stunt because my U turn was 179 degrees instead of 180, and that last stunt was big enough to cause me to fail the whole thing
time to wait 30 seconds for another loading screen.

I've been watching my wife play through that. She's on her second Survival playthrough and already finished the game 4 times before the DLC came out. And not rushing to finish finished, like 100% finished. Easily gotten over 200 hours out of that game, I got about 120 out of it and I was well and truly done with my first playthrough.

War Thunder shits me right off so I've stopped playing that entirely. Right now my flavour of rage is CK2.

Honestly fuck that game, I built up a ton of land in the space of half a dozen generations, building my own Kingdom of Wessex out of the southernmost part of England (everything south of Gloucester) and then started working on taking Wales and Ireland. Suddenly, Burgundy took Gloucester from me by inheritance and I claimed it back as part of my de-jure kingdom. Middle Francia decided they were going to join in on kicking the shit out of me over a single province while they should've been concentrating on the 12,000 Umayyid running around what is now southern France (and by south I mean outskirts of Paris).

3,000 men held off twice that number with some nimble navigation and I'd pretty much won the war then my own vassals used that chance to enforce an elected monarchy, vote my heir out of inheritance and then assassinate me.

I was two provinces away from having a dejure claim over the rest of England (Had almost all of Wales and 3/8ths of Ireland along with about 20 English provinces) and thus making the british empire, which could have solved some of my inheritance issues. Oh well. Not bad for a first game, right?


The next day I decided to play as Northumbria, figuring having a larger powerbase at the start would help me consolidate and pick off the weaker nations quicker. Instead I had the Picts (now the scots) declaring war on me at least once a decade to try and take Clydesdale from me, and every single time using their alliance with their Irish butt-buddies to join in and try to fuck me. Each time I was often outnumbered so badly that I'd have to hire over a thousand mercenaries to pad my forces out, one time even 3,000 just to get them to piss off. I married one of my sons off to the king of West Francia who had at the time inherited the lands of Burgundy, Middle Francia and Saxony and was about a step away from starting the Holy Roman Empire and developed an Alliance with him, and how does he help?

Dropped off 500 cavalry on a province that wasn't being fought over and left them there. Never came back for them. I can't control them, they just sit there eating my grass and shitting everywhere. But I'm expected to lend him men to help him fight Bavaria.

To make things worse the entire time I'm getting the Scots to piss off I've got my own people forming factions behind my back to try and enforce law changes or oust me from my kingdom but if I imprison and execute them, I'm the tyrant. I ended up alt-F4ing when in the middle of my 4th or 5th war with those inbred potato eaters a coalition of my own vassals declares that they want independence and if I don't give it to them they (and half my counties) are declaring war on me. This was only 30 years from the start of the game and there was over 400 left until the game ended.

Fuck the Irish, fuck the Picts, fuck West Francia and the House of Karling, and especially fuck Northumbria. Ungrateful Manc cunts.

Jak II's racing was broken as fuck. Imagine my fourteen year old face after the game broke an escort mission and replaced it with a race objective.

The problem is that Fallout 4's basic game mechanics simply don't allow for that sort of high end difficulty. A survival mode really needs to be implemented from the start and have game mechanic decisions made with it in mind, not just slapped on a few months after release.
