One of my PS3 controllers was broken and when I was playing game it hit some commands without I push the button... so I push the R2 to shoot and the Triangle is pushed together too... it is aleatory and so annoying.

So everytime I was really doing something exception for trophy or in the multiplayers a button is pushed automatically by the controller doing a unexpected jump for example... that just kill or make me lost the trophy... I already threw three times this control on the wall because of that.

I'm happy now that my new controller arrived so I will throw this one in the trash and just play with the other two (one is a beautiful new controller).

That was two weeks of pure hate when my main controller was without battery and I have to use the broken one.

The most recent moment was about a year ago, playing Dark Souls, fighting those two bosses in the Anor Londo area on my own, without any help.

I had managed to defeat one and was almost defeating the other, all it would have taken was literally one more strike from my sword..frustrating as hell.

Ninja Gaiden NES stage 6-2, WoW pvping in Halaa while being far outnumbered (I ripped my keyboard holder off desk and broke on my knee then punched top of computer so hard that I broke the top DVD drive, stopped playing WoW after Lich King), Fire Emblem level I'm semi stuck on right now, friend not telling me how to dodge while getting up in NWO vs WCW N64 resulting in a controller throw and never playing with him again (didn't have instruction manual), playing on the original xbox controller (the controller just plain sucked), spending 5-10 mins building a warrior in Civ on marathon and seeing it die in less than a min, CoD or any FPS online since I can't handle losing on FPS (I stopped playing FPS),

I'm sure there's more but right now, all I can think about is trying to get Tidus' final weapon in Final Fantasy X. You need the win the chocobo race with a time of less than 0.0 seconds and that stupid bird is uncontrolable. I ended up crafting my own weapon instead.

I remember getting so frustrated with that!

There have been plenty in the past. Maybe the most rage inducing moment was playing gt3 A-spec. I was doing a race on Tokyo R246 with mandatory tire wear but no pit stops available. Every time I was in the lead my tires started wearing out, then on the last lap the brain dead AI apparently with no degrading tires simply bumped me out of the way in the corners every time. It was the final straw, I took the disc out of the ps2 and smashed it.

Funny, I just posted this:

100%ed GT3 with a DualShock2. So yeah, that was the game that gave me the most frustration probably.  Especially THIS motherfucker:

A decade later I still remember the suffering. I lost weight with all the sweating, I swear.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Castlevania 3, clock tower level. I was a child, the jump mechanics sucked, and I may have cried. More recently Skyward Sword, the motion controls sucked at times, tasks would have been so much easier with just pressing a button or control stick, I would fail because of unresponsive inputs or lack of calibration. I was an adult, and I may have cried.

Might have been Heavy Rain.

Pop the disc in, go through an hour of system and software updates, play fifteen minutes of some douchebag's morning routine and the PS3 hard crashes. I never loaded it up again.

My one year old niece got more fun out of that game than I did. I let her chew it to pieces.

I have this frustation with almost GTs (even GT5)... that happen to me when I try to play with controller I always make a perfect race and reach the first place and so alone without any other car to make me mistaken... I just make a bad turn and go out of the track... I hate it.. hate... hate... with whell even I making the band turn I can correct it in the process but with controller I can't because when I try to make the car go back to the track it just make a 360 spins and go out again lol lol lol... the controller senssitibility in streess moments flurry me.
