Most Stressful Games

[TheAnimalSpy]

What game stresses you out the most everytime you play it? For me it's Devil May Cry 4 with it's increased difficulties. They always get to me. Makes me mad :raven:

Dungeon crawlers where if you die without exiting, you lose all of the stuff you've gained on that trip into the dungeon. And anything with permadeath. Enemy Zero for the Saturn, for example, only gives you a limited number of saves and loads and then, that's it, you have to start over even if you are right at the end, as I was.

The most stressed out I've ever been playing a game was when I was a kid and I got to the final world of Super Mario Bros. That was serious white knuckle gaming.

Urban Reign gives me a hard time to assess difficulty, but that is a good thing, otherwise it would just be a simple beat-'em up.

What makes it aggravating is getting my ass kicked by petty thugs that suddenly act like they're bosses, depending on the stage. It should get easier when I can finally get the hang of the grapple system. Leveling up helps too, but the problem with that is, you can't grind.

Trauma Center: Second Opinion made me cry. During Chapter 2.

Now, on the DS version I could make it to, I dunno, Chapter 5 or 6 before just giving up in frustration. But, ugh, it's the Wiimote controls of something that throws me off. I usually don't get too upset when I suck - just, you know, discouraged - but Trauma Center is just plain mean. :crying:

That game would have to be Elite beat agents, final level on hard mode.

For me, it would be any Megaman X game.

Not sure what I'd call the most stressful, but one recent game that comes to mind is Mario Kart Wii. I love the multiplayer in Mario Kart Wii but the single player campaign with the cheap spamming of powerful weapons and unforgiving AI makes it the most frustrating Grand Prix mode in Mario Kart history.

Wolverine's Revenges. It easy to die even on the first level of the whole game and the game was set on easy mode.:mad:

Trauma Center for sure. The worm like parasites that would reopen the patients' wounds--the GUILT I think they are called--- were on the top of my hate list until I got Trauma Center: Second Opinion for the Nintendo Wii and....

And now "diffusing bombs" is number one. I didn't think anything could top the GUILT but...never underestimate the ridiculousness of Trauma Center. >>
