The five most controller-wrecking games ever

Destructoid writes: "Controllers, the means by which we exert our will on the worlds inside our games, need to be durable. Constant clicking, flicking, pressing and tugging is going to cause wear on anything and, in the long term, your controllers are probably going to stop working some day."

I place my foot carefully on the rock band kick petal to optimally avoid it's breaking. I just hope it holds out 'til the rock band 3 drum set comes out.

My nomination would be in the form of the original Alundra. It's puzzles were hard and it was extremely frustrating. How many times did I try to complete the frozen pillar puzzles in Kline's Dream only to screw up one push just to screw it all up? To this day I offer the same to all of my friends since the days of the original; complete the game is less than 25 hours without a walkthrough and I'll happily hand over my next paycheque. To this day, not a single one of my friends has done it over 10 years later.

I wore my analog sticks out from COD4. Seriously. They got so loose they just hung to the side when I held them upright. I had to buy a new controller. Oh, and the NES controller is by far the toughest ever. I remember my friends and I throwing and nunchuck slamming those things around, still didn't faze them. No way I could do that with today's controllers.

ive never damaged any of my property because I can actually contain my anger

Blackfrican5849d ago

Damage incurred through playing Mario Party was not the result of anger...

FACTUAL evidence5849d ago

needed a spot. I actually know two people who broke a controller over that game literally.

HighDefinition5849d ago

Getting RROD makes you wanta break something, or any system failure for that matter. That sh!t sucks.......

N4GAddict5849d ago

One of the Dragon Ball games on Gamecube wrecked my controller.

tunaks15849d ago

I remember the Fly Guy, my n64 control stick survived it though :D

GAM3R7l5849d ago

....because of the abuse my analog sticks got from COD4 and FNR4.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle21d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg27d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree26d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai26d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
