Anger management needed...

Shure · 4 Oct 2006 at 20:18

Is it just me that get absoloutely furious with my 360 controller with these poor excuses for games?!

Topspin2 and DOA4 are the two in particular, there seems to be no balance with the difficulty settings, you come across one opponent and they just wipe the floor with you! :mad:

Are there any other games like this or is it just me...?

Ultra_Extreme · 4 Oct 2006 at 20:21

lol you and me both brother! ive broke 2 disks and 2 pads so far and DOA4 was one of the main culprits, dead rising has recently added to that.

Gamey gamey make ulty mad RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa

I actually found Top Spin 2 pretty easy, not that it will make you feel any better

Most infuriating game for me is still the Global Challenges in FIFA World Cup 06.

Topspin has been easy until I reached the Paris final in season 5 against Henman of all people and he ALMOST wiped the floor with me. It was by far the hardest match I've played. Still managed to win though but it took me 5 very long sets

No idea about DOA, but TS2 I find quite easy. You just need to learn to use the right shot at the right moment thats all. Tbh I find the training a major PITA but the tournys are superb fun. Had a blast playing that game and its because of Dead Rising that I haven't touched it lately.

Coria is the hardest opponent I've faced aside from Hewitt. Coria is just horribly unpredictable, sometimes he's ok to play against and sometimes he'll destroy you. Hewitt has a habit of totally buggering up my serve returns.

DOA did infuriate me almost daily when I first got it, with the AI suddenly being what felt like untouchable on occasions.

Dead risings save system is currently annoying me, but not had any pad throwing incidences yet.

FIFA World cup global challenges I just gave up on, for the sake of the furniture and my sanity.

Lego SW is now mine. One block of 99 still to get, the only way to get this block is to play the game through in one hit, no saves and it locks up in two known places. One in section 4 one at the end. Course mine locks at the end.

I'm seriously considering snapping the disc once I get that block and mailing back to TT games.

Fifa Global Challenges nearly cost me a joypad....I have burst it open at one side but it still works......Threw it from my living room, out in to the hall and smacking right off my front door...The crappiest teams suddenly became world beaters....Ridiculous!

House · 4 Oct 2006 at 21:04

Burnout - Some burning laps are just stupid.
DOA4 - Alpha cheats 27 move combos i mean...
TDU - Hitchhickers wanna got 15 miles in 5 mins but moan is i cut corners?

but TBH i wouldnt like it if they were too easy, DOAs beyond a joke mind.

jklc · 4 Oct 2006 at 21:08

I totally agree with DOA4.. annoyed the hell out of me so much I don't even bother playing it anymore. Should've gotten rid of it months ago now that I think about it...

Psymonkee · 4 Oct 2006 at 21:09

Try NBA 2K6 - nice back and forward game Suns v Rockets - final score 92 - 91 Rockets.

Next game in season mode (with a healed Center no less)

Rockets v Bulls (Bulls are significantly worse) and they assrape me 117 - 73!?

I played no differently - worked the ball around and found a hole in the defense, move in for the basket and constant miss :mad:

Very close to breaking something....

Only 2? i'm on about my 6th/7th

also i now have a few holes in my wall........need for speed catch up was probably the main one for me

Johnz0r · 4 Oct 2006 at 23:02

Wow, quite surprised with the amount of angry gamers about, I thought I was the only one!

I agree with the comments about TDU the long missions are very annoying and are sometimes very pedantic when it comes to the guidelines that you have to follow,with not cutting corners etc. Not had any joypad throwing sessions just yet

PiKe · 4 Oct 2006 at 23:34

DOA4 is amazingly crap, it deserves to be in several pieces.

The thing that gets me about that game is when it's close at the end of the game, the guy who you want to shoot the final shot with is always the one inbounding it and you can't change it.

The only game which really annoys me is Halo 2, can't stand it when I get screwed over in it.

If you don't enjoy playing, stop playing. If a game makes you that angry then you're obviously not having fun so what's the point

I came back to this last night after not playing it for months, I thought I'd try and finish this off before I trade it in this month.

AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!

These challenges were created by Satan.

The Running Man · 5 Oct 2006 at 09:23

NHL 2006 - id be winning all nicey nice, and then suddely 5 mins fro the end.

wham, bam, thank you keeper for letting 3 goals on 3 shots...

the opposition (no matter whether its ray whitney or mike modano) suddenly turn into the slick, and sickest passing team. totally beffudle your keeper before slapping in a few goals...

and theres nothing you can do! and im good at NHL.

I know I have been utterly ****** off with some games in the past. But I cant remember what they are or why I was so mad. Unlike Nokkon I would never result to violence against my console, pad, TV or game.

Actually the last game I got really mad at was either COD2 or GRAW. (COD2 for a silly save point and GRAW for some glitch… oh and the first level where jamming was used on you).

Both I overcame with saintly patience.

The last time I got annoyed with a game was when Ceeg kept lobbing smoke grenades at me in GRAW the other night. I got a little tetchy.
