Title: I just busted a PS2 controller
Post by: PyroMenace on Monday, April 21, 2008, 05:28:13 AM
I havent done this in a looooong time. I'll let you guess at what game it was and even bigger kudos to what part I was at to make me do such an awful thing.

My roommate did it in Fight Night Round 2.. It just crumbled in his hands.

In your case, was it a Burnout game?

Nah, its a brawler. The game has been known to be quite difficult and frustrating at parts.

I was having a total blast up until this point... but looks like I just got passed it.

I don't know if it's considered a brawler, but Maximo: Ghosts to Glory?

No, think gorier, with mythical greek gods. That pretty much gives it away.

DMC?  Are there Greek gods in that?  I'm truly not sure.

God of War?  Would that qualify as a brawler?

The first first-party (*ugh!*) controller I broke was a PS2 DS very recently.  I didn't even break it, really.  The right stick stopped working properly all of a sudden.  I was in FF XII at the time, not a game that requires any hammering of the sticks.  Is this thing more fragile than your typical official controllers?

I broke a Dreamcast controller while playing Dead or Alive 2 with my buddy. That was 8 or 9 years ago. I still think that I parried his move, and he still says that I didn't.

I actually can't guess what part of God of War would get you to break a controller.  I hated the last fucking boss fight with a passion and didn't actually beat it my first time around for some reason, but the *real* horrific thing for me was in God of War 2.

Was it Odin Sphere when you finally figured out that the game is just trying to rape you and you shouldn't have dropped all your hot cross buns to make way for better items in the last stage or was it in Persona 3 when you went through like 15 levels of Tartarus, Fuuka told you that the boss (and exit point) were on the next floor and the last enemy before the stairs cast mudo on you, instantly killing you because you thought you had one or two more homunculi left?

I just re-read that and want to punch myself in the face for saying something so lame.  I'm sorry.
