To be honest, I can't remember what the last game that frustrated me was. Mega Man Zero maybe? Trying to get perfect ranks in the later games was sometimes frustrating, but never to the point where I became irritable or anything.

See, I agree that DOJ is super hard, but I don't find it frustrating. I see it as a case of me not being good enough.

Now, you wanna talk frustration, let's talk Odin Sphere. The game takes the PS2 beyond the limit, which means you have to contend with REALLY bad slowdown. Plus, your beautiful attack animations take a while and can't be cancelled. So you'll quickly find yourself in a situation where you can see the boss's attack coming, but there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

Tough question. The most frustrating moment in gaming history for me was when after almost getting to the last level of Blaster Master, Sophia 1 got trapped in a section at the first cave in Level 1 (you have lots of backtracking to do). I was done like dinner.

I'd say the most consistently frustrating game would be any of the game from the BLITZ series. Up by 21 points with 1 minute left in the 4th quarter? You're probably going to lose.

LONG loading times in any game can be frustrating. Levels on Soldier of Fortune (Dreamcast) take forever to load. You could probably listen to Stairway to Heaven during the load screens.

Id have to say xbox 360's Culdcept Saga,The game is purely amazing for strategy/MTG fans.Combines custom deck building (creatures and spells like MTG) with the concept of a Monopoly game.Ive had previous experience with it from PS2 so when I heard it was coming to 360 I cry'd with joy.The fustrating part is the learning curve and cheap A.I
You can be in a 3-5 hr match WINNING just to lose to an unlucky dice roll,land on a powerful enemy territory,and start another rematch.Its like 4 or 5 years later and after hundreds of hours Ive only completed the game once,still have like over 500 cards to collect and the deck variations are endless.
My all time favorite strategy game!!!
