So far the only controller throwing frustration from this game is pre-planted vert lasers. NOTHING is as aggravating as being hit by one of those as they enter the screen. No warning, just if you're the unlucky sucker who happened to be going up in line with one, you get hit.
That has ended literally all three of my winter area runs. At least with the rotating turret laser bad guys there's some safe distance. The vert lasers are if you're on screen and they're hitscan damage. Feel impossibly unfair.
