Are you easily frustratable when it comes to gaming?

[joe the janitor]

I can get very frustrated when games have stupid things like FUCKING CHECKPOINT SAVE SYSTEMS, THEY MAKE ME WANT TO THROW MY CAT IN THE MICROWAVE!!! I mean....... something.

I know I am. I get really annoyed at things. When my Halo 3 disk broke, I really had to hold it back due to the fact that my friend was in the house. I had gone to get it fixed after Gamestation had managed to fix both my CoD games, and it broke completely. I'm not joking, I would have smashed through the wall if he wasn't there. Recently, my L4D disk mysteriously broke and kept freezing my console, and I threw the pack off the ground, smashing little green shards of xbox-themed plastic onto the ground.

That sounds more like anger issues than frustration.

Frustration leads to anger, and anger leads to frustration. Vicious cycle, no?

After dying for the millionth time in Dead Space I tend to chew the furniture.

But the worst.. oh the worst... jumping around in Fallout 3 only to accidentally get lodged in a rock formation and be stuck unable to move and left with no choice but to reload my last save which warps me all the way back to two hours ago... I go INSANE!

 

[ThePirateMan]

Not really. Only if I play a single player game and When I die, It sends me back really far.

That and if I get killed by 5 Force-A-Nature using scouts on Team Fortress 2 several times.

 

[Soxafloppin]

Not really, i get annoyed if theres a very tedious and mundane section that takes forever, but it never bubles to the surface.

I've recently been playing Arkham Asylum and am 98% done and have two combat challenge rooms left until I get 100% completion.

I got so frustrated yesterday I called batman a "f*cking stupid tw*t" and then I called myself a "dumb f*ck" (it may even have been c*nt) because I got hit.

The problem is the more stressed I get the worse I get, so the verbal self harm continues. The funny thing is, I was playing this one room for an hour, gave up because I couldn't do it, went out and about 5 hours later I came back and did it first time.

 

[MurderousToaster]

Yes my controller has gone flying through my window more than once. I think need not say anymore.

Also, MurderousToaster, I think I (May or may not) speak for everyone when I ask... What the fuck does your avatar say? It's so dang [Small] small [/Small].

Yeah, sorry about that. It's an achievement. It says 'Achievement Unlocked 100G - Be MurderousToaster. '

XD, it's been really murdered by the tiny little box.

 

[lostclause]

Depends. I don't mind a challenge, puzzle or enemies, but I do get irritated by bad design (i.e. not knowing where to go or what to do).

 

[sneak_copter]

Yes. My anger attacks are legendary. I should record them and put them on YouTube.

 

[Murlin]

Is getting angry after dying 10 ten times consecutively because of a missed jump, considered easily frustratable?

 

[Insanum]

I have never gotten frustrated or angry while playing a game. I just get minorly annoyed at online trash-talkers, when people spawn-kill, if dying sends me far back in the level, and if a single boss keeps killing me over and over and over...........

Those, And when a game BLATANTLY cheats (Your shots miss even though they travel through the enemy & then the enemy shots kill you even tho they were nowhere near you).

Also, The force unleashed. /thread.

 

[Bat Vader]

I only get frustrated with a game if I keep dying in the same place over and over again like when trying to complete cod 4 on veteran.

Or if a boos keeps killing you over and over.

I have punched my TV a few times.

 

[WrongSprite]

I can get fustrated to the point of rage quitting, very easily, but it really does depend on the game. Some of them just do it so...effortlessly.

I honestly have never gotten frustrated by a game. But then I never play games on their highest difficulty settings either...

Online I don't get frustrated, 'cos my game of choice is TF2, and that game is just too cathartic to get pissed at even if you're getting your arse kicked.

In a word, yes.

Should be "In a word: yes." You've just been grammar nazi'd.

[sub] Sorry, I just did it for funsies [/sub]

Actually it should be a ";". ":" are for lists.

You've just been double grammar nazi'd.

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

Not really. I think the only games I get really frustrated at are racing games, like Burnout, when I can't complete something to the standard I want.

[mikecoulter]

Not really, I only really get annoyed if something breaks or the game I just spent good money on is somewhat crap.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

One time I trusted my Halo 2 disc to a friend of mine, then, when I got it back, it was scratched to hell. Oh man, the stream of obscenities alone would make Westboro Baptist Church shit bricks.
