10 Video Games That Make Losing Truly Painful

1. FIFA 21

EA Sports

Playing FIFA with friends or online is a pastime that has been around as long as modern consoles themselves have, and for good reason. Football is a cultural phenomena in Britain and following your team is likened to a religion.

So, when you fire up the game with your friends whether on the same couch or in an online lobby the stakes are always high. Your teams honour, bragging rights, reputation... its all on the line in these personal battles with friends.

There really is no gaming experience like it. Proving that you're the better player out of your group of friends was always and still is a great feeling, but god help you if you lose because you'll never hear the end of it.

You'll almost feel distraught as your friend jumps up immediately screaming as a free kick smashes the back of the net in the 90th minute. The only response is to sit with your head in your hands and let them have their moment.

Pushing passed the frustration is never easy and it always leads to the same thing... shouting the immortal words "one more game".
