10 Video Games That Pissed You Off THE RIGHT WAY

9. FIFA

GTA Online
EA Sports

FIFA has plenty of rage-inducing elements to its design, from lacklustre online servers to its opportunistic approach to Ultimate Team player packs.

However, what it loses in stingy corporate practices it makes up for in gameplay, as the addicting mechanics of football fans' second favourite pass time (second only to watching the beautiful game) is enough to capture the attention of millions of gamers across the globe each year.

There is no feeling worse than conceding a 90th minute screamer to lose an online match of EA's flagship sports title. It's enough to shatter several controllers per iteration of the series, but doing it to someone else is as sweet as the being on the opposite side is sour.

FIFA will undoubtedly piss you off, but it's one of the reasons why we love it. The elation of scoring a last minute belter is unparalleled, knowing that your opponent is going through the same burst of involuntary frustration that you've been subject to so many times.

It is worth noting that this is largely present in all EA Sports titles (conceding a last minute Hail Mary on Madden is just as infuriating), but with FIFA it's perhaps the most prominent.

Fan of ducks, ice tea and escapism. Spends much of his time persistently saying 'I have so much studying to do' before watching Zoey 101 for the millionth time. Thinks Uncharted 3 is the best one.
