What obstacles in games make you rage?

For me it's wall run several times, into rope swing, into wall run, into rope swing, into wall run, into double jump, into pray to God you went high enough, far enough to catch the ledge on your billionth try.

open world style games with invisble barriers blocking off stuff...

sliding tile puzzle

The number 1 scourge of puzzle games.

---

Platforming in games where you can't see your body.

---

Random encounters when you're stuck in a dungeon with no way to repel them or save, beforehand.

The path of pain

---

When the RNG doesnt cooperate when I need a specific item or whatever.

That or when a random boss spawns when you're looting an area of its collectibles.

i wouldnt say its an obstacle but fetch quests

---

Puzzles in general.
I ain't got time for that shit.
Unless it's a relatively braindead 'puzzle'

Currently playing Arkham Knight and it's pretty cool how the Batmobile can drive straight through trees and even sides of some buildings. Almost nothing stands in your way.

Except this random small pile of sandbags that for some reason is indestructible and stops you dead. Has done this to me a few times driving through the city during missions and drives me crazy each time.

Goron Moon dungeon in Majora's Mask.

89% chance to hit. Miss. Miss. Miss.

---

Underwater stuff.

---

RNG shit in any game.

---

Invisible walls are the absolute worst
Just put an actual fuckin wall there if you don't want me going that way

Goron Moon dungeon in Majora's Mask.

the trick is to hold forward while charging, and once the spikes come out let go of the control stick and just hold A. make slight left and right adjustments as necessary until you get to the turns obviously

Totally aware of this, and have got through the maze pretty easily in the past because of it. However the last time I tried this, I kept rolling off to the side or missing the jumps. Idk maybe my controller has been worn out or something.

Auto scroll levels.

Escort missions

I hate this because the AI is dumb as rocks 99% of the time

---

The floor covered in spikes, lava, poison or just plain water (that your character can't swim in for some reason) yet you have to make precise jumps to tiny platforms or else you will die.

---

Puzzles that I have to google like in Skyrim or something that I just dont have the time to figure out because the hints are total shit.
Escort missions
BS style stealth areas.

---

Looks like someone beat me to the punch, but I'll add that anything and everything involving Goron Rolling in Majora's Mask enrages me.

---

When you have to avoid traps, but your AI companions just keep walking into them

---

I'm surprised nobody said tutorials yet.

I hate tutorials.

I get why they're there but they're just not for me.

Haha, I think I got that out of my system in another topic.
But ya, Tutorials can be annoying, especially when it seems each new word is really just another tutorial of some sort.

Tutorials can be done well, though. You only even notice them when they're shite, and then you're mad at the game being shite, not the very existence of tutorials.

---

I just played Metal Wild Chaos XD. And pretty much everything in that game is to make you rage. I almost beat it twice despite that.

Few things it has

• 15 minute levels on first run with no Checkpoints

• Some instant death attacks that kill you before their animation even appears.

• Start off levels with you being shot at

• Harsh time limits if not overleveled

• Boss fight where you just spam and can only win with the right weapons equipped

And more

Birds, bats, and bugs designed to gotcha into pits

Agree.

I guess what I don't like about them is the stop and go nature of some tutorials in games.

I should also say, when I brought it up in the other topic, it was in conjunction with the fact that games don't come with booklets anymore, or if they do, they don't say much.
---

Any time there's a puzzle or a maze with random encounters.

What idiot thinks gamers want that crap, let alone have time for it?

---

Any stealth segments thrown into a game.

Unless the game is specifically in that genre I despise it.

---

Does seeing a gap your character could totally go through considering how you can go into smaller places in the world but being stopped by invisible walls being rage inducing?

because warframe does that to me a lot.

I was playing Onimusha remastered last week and forgot about the timed sliding puzzle in that game, fuck that noise.

I'm also going to add the Insurmountable Pile of Small Rubble, that's genuinely more offensive than an invisible wall to me.
