What makes you rage in video games?

What I'd call "rage" from me at least is actually pretty petty compared to others. Usually my kind of rage is just me face-palming or saying something in frustration that doesn't go beyond calling what happened rude or something. I'm too calm for the kind of rage you often see elsewhere.

I don't rage really.

I just stop and try again later and usually I'm ok.

I did something similar to that when trying to 100% Kirby Mass Attack.

I eventually quit on that. The perfection needed to do that is too great.

It's called DLC, what's with it.

Stealth Missions because of how poorly designed a lot of these are and when your caught 90% of the time I'm like "that was freaking cheap"

Also can't stand cheap deaths that aren't your fault.

Sounds like on-disc DLC for me. DLC is supposed to be optional, right? Well, you can't access certain areas in Skylanders just because you don't have the Earth thing or whatever. Well, at least you get a little figure, but can I just 100% without buying anything extra? I guess I'll just turn to an emulator. Not that it's an interesting game in the first place.

Not all DLC costs money, and most DLC is optional stuff

Please, learn what DLC is.

Oh yes. The Alchemist mission in Spyro 2 comes to mind here.

For me, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon really sucks for that.

Why do your escorts always suck ass and are incredibly stupid?? Oh well, artificial difficulty there.
 
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who shudders at the thought of escorting someone and keeping her alive. :']
 
Dude when I'm around, you're never alone
 
Ironically, my successful attempt happened just after watching a video of someone failing to get that one gold star.

Unless the reward was fabulous, I never took any escort missions in the PMD games because they were just so bad.

Ashley Graham in Resident Evil 4 was such a burden.

Adding more...

- Backtracking constantly (Oh god Paper Mario: TTYD Chapter 4 was a pain)

- Getting a game over in a 2 player co-op mode if one person dies (i.e. Multi-Man Brawl, events or Boss Battles in Brawl)
^Pokemon Mystery Dungeon also falls under this to a certain extent but it's the AI in this scenario.

- Having stupid CPU AI for your teammates and then they fail (Mario Party 6 comes to mind, and Clean Team is a bitch with them cause they don't follow the windows you sprayed which is why I prefer being the one cleaning)
^A bit similar to the second thing listed here. :p

- Having to battle under specific conditions (The reason why I DESPISE the Glitz Pit in TTYD, I swear it was rigged just to make me mad, and I couldn't stand having "Don't le
