Gamer Rage

[Zombie_King]

I never get angry enough to shit a brick and then precede to throw said brick at my television screen. I take anything a game has to throw at me. Bad graphics, awkward controls, ridiculous AI, I deal with it and soldier through a game. Although, my friends...

I bought Brawl, and I played it a fair amount, and got pretty good at it. A friend came over, and after a 12-1 match (my favor) he got angry enough to chuck the controller at me. I dodged, and a fight ensued. Needless to say, it was the most violent confrontation that came from a video game that I had ever experienced.

EDIT: Nice avatar, Hopkins!

Halo 3 if I am on a killing spree of 15+ I get very angry when I die I normally dont get more than three more kills for the rest of the match

Or Oblivion when I am raiding a ruin and a giant ball flies from the sky and implats into my face leading to my sudden death

Even better GTA when I am running from the police and a car runs me over and the police place 50 clips in my dopey ass.

Forgetting to save and then dieing about an hour later.

I cannot count how many times that happened to me in KOTOR. Heck, it seems to happen to me in every Bioware game.

Wierd.

Playing Guild Wars can bring on its own frustration. Forming groups with random players to do certain missions or quests isn't recommended, because none of them seem to know how to play the game properly, and can't seem to understand that I've done most of the stuff countless times before, and that I can guide them through the easy, safe way. They choose to ignore me and do things the hard way (because they don't know what they're doing), getting us killed/failing our objective.

I'd rather just play with computer-controlled players, because at least they follow me closely, I have decent control over them, and they do things right (most of the time).

PUGs are just terrible nowadays, if you can find them at all.
Hero/Hench is basically the only real practical way you can do PvE, or you'd have to be in a pretty damn good guild.

As for PvP... ever done Heroes' Ascent? You waste over 2 hours trying to get a full party that can run a cookie cutter build, 6 out of the 8 people in your team have no clue on how to play their build properly, thus making you lose in the preliminary or first round... upon which at least 2 people quickly leave the group, after shouting that oh so typical 'NOOBZ'.

Or, again, you might have the luck of being in a good guild and avoid all that crap.

Getting killed repeatedly without having a chance to respond, or dying at the hands of cheap tactics/lag.

Ninga Gaiden 2 an incidiary shiruken. I have learned new cuss words playing that game. That and playing COD4 on veteran.

3&7s on GH 3 on hard, it made me nearly put my controller through the wall

"Driver"... After 3 hours of trying to get past the first mission! I just couldn't make it. The game drove me nuts!! So i uninstalled it. FAST.

 

[Kerr0r]

When a game of Heroes crashes. Those things take forever.
Also, Pandemic 2. ¤%&/ MADAGASCAR!!!!

I'm pretty sure i've shat bricks of pure rage playing Farcry. I mean honestly, why is every damn enemy i come across a champion marksman?

I uninstalled after I got hit by a rocket launcher IN THE FACE, shot from a boat over a mile away...

I have to say the game that really annoyed me was my copy of soul caliber 2...after it broke.
It kept on crashing at the character selection screen and I got so annoyed with the damn thing I ended up throwing the disc(and my controller) out the window.

god i hate that song, its like the designer didnt really know what the guitarist was playing and put lots of random notes in to make it look like you are doing it right.

 

[Jumplion]

People who use the god damn SVD Sniper Rifle in MGO, IT'S NOT AN ASSAULT RIFLE YOU RETARDS! NEITHER IS THE OTHER AUTOMATIC SNIPER RIFLE!

I repeatedly threw my controller to the floor in frustration as for the umptienth time, somebody with a god damned SVD kills me with a headshot while I was aiming for the persons head the entire time (trust me, I know, I keep my eye on the reticle the whole time).

 

[Relgaro]

Probably Tomb Raider, Abes Odysee (although i love this game) and the entire driver series.

If to talk about rage, caused only by video games, then I have kinda two different "rages" and all of them are caused only by Team Fortress 2 lately. First happens when someone starts to show off during playing, something like "I pwn 3vr3zing and ur n00bz" by mic or ingame chat. Then I just turn on my mic and say something like "buddy, would you kindly shut your mouth?" but a bit more violently. Funny, but usually it works fine and person chills out )
The second "rage" happens when my team sucks at playing and I get repeatedly killed because of someone's else stupidity. For example, I got burned by Pyro and run to the Doctor to get healed, and medic just shoots his syringe gun and watching me dying right in front of him. In such moments I really wanna kill somebody. For real, with my bare hands. Once, in anger, I hitted the table with mouse (controller ofcourse) and it stopped working. Then I hitted it another time and it started working again. From that day I do all I can to control the anger.

Dude, I feel you, or getting hit by a mutant robot with a rocket launcher attached to his arm from like a mile away. Or the terrible hit detection that they have on the zergling-like mutants. Apparently their arms reach like 20 feet because it's too damn hard to back away from an attack. Once it's released you're getting hit no matter where you are.

The thing to remember when gamer rage when playing online is to turn your mic off for about 10 seconds while you can scream rage at your screen.

For solo games, the only time I hurled my controller was on FFVIII when I realised I was stuck on the lunatic pandora, while massively underlevelled...and I only had one save...

Unfortunately it took the console off the edge with it and then would only work if I placed two bricks on the lid... suffice to say I control it a little more now.

when my freinds in multi wait by respawn points to kill me....

Plus, even on medium difficulty it's a two hit kill at best.
Although it is quite satisfying when you kill them in midair, and you get a facefull of dead monkey...

That reminds me of the time I played Goldeneye against one of my mates and he just kept running away from me. I thought it was because he was crap and sooner or later I would catch him and beat him down.

It turned out what he was doing was putting a proximity mine at every one of the spawn points which I found out the hard way.

Funny thing was, rather than get angry, it just made me roll around the floor in stitches.
