Annoying Games

Annoying, is the act of something that irritates you and may often lead to frustration or anger. Annoying games provides a love/hate relationship with the players, and are often very rage inducing. Although it is particularly strange as the game may be very annoying, they are just as addicting. This addiction may stem from the many challenges that the game throws at you, the constant state of irritations, a series of losing, or oddly difficult yet simple game. Though, it is usually due to the annoyance of the game that some players often find themselves coming back for more. Another reason why players may find annoying games addictive, is the singular moment of achievement after constant difficulties.

Flappy Birds
In Flappy Birds, players are given 2 instructions which is to jump by tapping and to go through a series of endless pipes to gain 1 point. There is no other goal aside from your own previous high score or simply lasting as long as you can. The mechanics and idea is so simple yet for some odd reason, it is really infuriating as you constantly die.

Dark Souls
In the Dark Souls series, players are challenged with bosses that are overwhelmingly strong and may have multiple phases. In addition to the outrageously strong bosses, the enemies that the characters deal with are just as annoying as the bosses, if not less. As you progress the game, you do get better but so does the difficult of the enemies. To make it even worse, the players could lose their progress as they only have one shot at recovering their previous "souls" which act as currency to upgrade your character. If the player does again before collect their soul, then they lose all of it and keep nothing.
