Controller-Breaking Boss Fights
-
What boss fights infuriate you so much that you feel like you want to break the controller or hurl it at the TV? Personally I can't take too many difficult bosses in a game but one that has annoyed me a bit of late is the Rank 6 boss in No More Heroes thanks to cheap tactics that frustrate.

Father Gascoigne almost broke me. Took me like 15 tries. I didn't progress that far into Bloodborne, I think the latest boss I beat was The Witch of Hemwick, and I beat all the bosses until that point in less than 5 tries (some of them even in only 1 try). Gascoigne's such a painful outlier.
Akuma in the Tekken 7 Story Mode is too crazy for me. I'm probably nowhere near good enough to beat him, but he just keep reading my moves so well. I haven't beat him yet, and have no plan to return.

Not really a rage gamer, so I've got nothing.

I can't think of exact examples but long RPG bosses that have a kill-all spell are just dumb and probably the most infuriating.

I once beat my friend in Mario Kart Wii and he was so mad he whipped me in the leg with the Wii remote so hard I was worried he had fractured my patella, does that count?

Seymour Flux. Doesn't help that it is preceded with a 4-minute unskippable cutscene.

I think pretty much any boss fight that lasts for an hour and still has an attack that happens in the last half that will off your whole party in one hit. There was once or twice in Persona 5 where this happened to me and I had to just take a break in between.
I got to the last boss fight in Final Fantasy X and legitimately couldn’t beat the game. I was too low level and an initial sword attack killed everyone at once. I tried that one for a while too with different strategies and light last room grinding. The real kicker there was the one hit kill was after an unskippable ten minute cutscene. And I had to watch it every time I restarted. Double decker of things I just point two middle fingers at.

@mbun I don't rage either but there are boss fights that really test patience.

@jdincinerator I mean there's ridiculous gaming challenges I've given up on before like Hollow Knight's last DLC where the last Pantheon is beating every boss in the game, some of them powered up, all in a row, without checkpoints, but that seems different from the title of this topic.

none of them. i look after my stuff.

@yoshi The title was blatant exaggeration anyway just for clicks.
-
@jdincinerator You say that, but I've definitely had friends who have broken controllers (among other things) after getting frustrated at a game.

You hang with Santhrax?

So you openly admit to making clickbait? Don't you know that 1 out of 10 people who post clickbait are left reeling from a unknown medical condition....

@dmcmaster Hey if I made my title duller then it may not catch on. I'm glad I don't have a thumbnail to put stupid red arrows and red rings on. And no I'm not aware of this medical condition-I already have one I don't need another.
