Are you easily frustratable when it comes to gaming?

[MurderousToaster]

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.

When it comes to playing online, I also can find myself thanking God I don't have a swear-jar.

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

The only thing that really frustrates me in gaming is scripting in Pro Evo. I have dreamt many times of the day that I meet the person responsible for it.

Well, I'm easily EXCITABLE, jumping and making weird squeaky noises if I'm playing, say, TF2 and someone starts attacking me. If I die several times in a row, i start getting hyper. If I get a killing streak, I get hyper. The only time I really get frustrated is if the same person kills me over and over again, someone's being cheap or cheating, or, in the case of if a previous save fails to load or I accidentally save over an important save.

Outside of the actual games, I always get a bit pissed when I somehow manage to install a game wrong, or it says I don't have enough hardware space, or, God forbid, I get those first two red quadrants on my X-Box (which i still haven't figured out the meaning of.)

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.

 

[Blackmagic1515]

Only if I get stuck in one place and keep dying over and over. But then I just turn the game off and walk away, ready to come back to it later when I'm calmer. It normally helps.

 

[Ace of Spades]

In a word, yes.

 

[Amarok]

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]

 

[scnj]

Not any more. I used to be, to the point of throwing discs, controllers and joysticks, but I've really calmed down in recent years since counselling.

 

[hazabaza1]

If I die and die and die, etc, then yes, otherwise, no, not really.

 

[Mcface]

frustratable?

anyway yes I am easily frustrated with games... and everything known to man.

 

[iggyus]

I am being fucking frustrated now that I fucking have to wait a fucking month to buy my MOTHERFUCKING PS3!!!!!!!!! *Howls to the sky in sheer rage*

 

[General Ken8]

Well, i don't mind spawn killing, people who do it are just playing the game, and unfairly getting bad player reviews
But if i keep getting sniped it makes me kind of angry, because there is absolutely nothing you can do about it

 

[Jaranja]

I love gaming but it does make me want to hunt down teenagers.

 

[Destroy Gundam]

I can get easily frustrated when an objective is especially difficult for me to complete.

This usually happens when the game ups the difficulty after I complete it, and there's no way of keeping that from happening and/or any way of re-setting it.

 

[Flour]

I only get frustrated when I play online(which is why I don't do that) and when it's obvious when the game is cheating to a point where it's impossible to win. The former is easily fixed and the latter is rare because I rarely buy games.

Rubberband AI? [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RubberBandAI]

If it is, just play not as good until the last 25% of the game.

EDIT: Google shows a "pro evo" search as for a soccer game so my suggestion ruins the point of playing the game against the computer. Not much you can do about it then.. but I'll hold the person responsible while you stab him though.(assuming it is rubberband AI)

 

[Banana Phone Man]

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.

This is the kind of stuff that gets me frustrated too but you get quite a rush and feeling of determination when you finaly do it. CoD 4 on veteran was not to hard but CoD 5 is impossible. That game drives me up the wall.

 

[Worgen]

depends on the type of game, getting totaly shut out tends to piss me off but that can only really happen to me in rts games and occasionaly fighting games altho it does mean that I tend to stay away from multiplayer head to head rts games since Ive made enough holes in my walls

I'm more or less like this. I think the last time I raged out was in KZ2 at the ATAC and the push towards the end. I broke off two little pieces off my six axis. It still works, and it's a crappy six axis anyways. My best rage was trying to play my friends copy of the getaway. The controls for that game were so stiff I pulled the disk out and smashed it against the wall after dying a dozen times.

 

[WelshWizard]

There's a fist shaped hole in my wall from where my swordsman lost a fight with a warrior on Civ 4 with 99.9% combat odds.

I smashed my mouse to pieces when, as a spy (I only play spy), I encountered a team of what seemed like all pyros in tf2. Luckily, it was only a ?20 basic micorosft one. How FUCKING annoying is it when you're killed by a talentless shitgimp who's just randomly spraying his flamethrower like some deranged and rabid sadist? Very.
