Gamer Rage

[Arondight]

Final Fantasy XI (or any MMORPG I've played), when trying to work as a team. There's always that one douchebag who just does his or her own thing getting the rest of us killed.

I don't get violently angry though. I just pour myself another shot of Jamesons (12 year old) and sigh.

Edited to add the year of the whiskey. Have to be specific with these things ya know.

Reign In Blood on GH3 on Expert, button mashers on Soul Calibur 4, any idiot on XBox Live that can't keep make constructive statements, and instead we end up with stupid, meaningless prattle.

Is it sad that I cared more about the Year of the Jameson than FF11 stuff?

... wait, no it isn't.

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...

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.

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...

Definitely true. It made me carry around my jackhammer just for those damn things. In some parts I'd wish I had another gun but knew that I couldn't get rid fo the shotgun.

In first place, CoD4's veteran difficulty setting. I love playing all my games on the hardest difficulties for the sheer thrill of it. But you die so easily and often you never even know where the killing shot just came from.

Team Fortress 2's spies. Yes, I know it's more of a testament to how skilled a player is that he can consistently ruin my engineer shit or back stab me and I do respect the very good spy players, but Hades damn them! I hate spies! =D

 

[creepy_rabbit]

id go for wario 3, you know those flat monsters that flew up in the sky when you did that "butt earthquake" thing

 

[Rabid Toilet]

Almost snapped my keyboard in two a few hours into IWBTG. I have no idea how I made it through that entire game with all my computer parts intact.

The last bosses on final fantasy 12.

kinda surprised Alterac Valley (World of Warcraft) hasn't been mentioned yet. The retard level in there can get to dangerous levels when all you're really supposed to do is keep control of a few checkpoints long enough to burn em down, concluded with your team ganging up on a boss-like NPC.

Now there are two things that enrage me intensely when attempting to win, first being the clueless pillocks who appear not to have a clue as to what's going on (even though the gear they wear requires nigh endless farming in Alterac Valley) and proceed to be a pathetic waste of space throughout the fight.
Moreover there are the folks that on the slightest hiccup or hint that things may get a little rough immediately seize every useful action in favor of cursing the entire battleground chat full with "omg retards, you suck" in various ways. When someone of equal mental age replies the maturity levels reach a new low. Part of me is pissed of about those folks no longer doing anything productive (and them thinking their ranting is some kind of motivation for the rest), and the other part gets pissed about how many mentally injured 12-year olds are around at 1 in the morning

PS: yes I have been addicted, recovering atm

 

[teknoarcanist]

Tekken 3. And then, later, Tekken 5. Those are the only games that have ever really gotten under my skin and pissed me off to the point that I have physical, imminent rage; normally I just sort of sigh and turn them off.

 

[TheKbob]

Grenade of Duty 4 and Chopper of Duty 4.

I can't help with 'nades, but for choppers, I have a light machine gun (the last one) with a grip, stopping power, and steady aim and you just blast that thing. It's better than relying on one hit with an RPG and you can usually get it down with one clip or rounds.

 

[WolfRocker]

I was playing mgs4 and i had a dream run no alerts no deaths no kills on like big boss hard.. it was the last level im inching my way to the door...and a gekko by one miracle or another SEES ME AND KICKS ME TO MY DEATH now i was so mad i went outside of my house and kicked my tree like 12 times barefoot.

i don't have gamer rage but that just set me off...

Only time I've got annoyed is on Gears of War when playing Assassination online. I was unfortunate enough to have a know-it-all nine-year-old on my team. I was consistantly made leader, because I was able to assassinate the opposing teams leader and was generally doing better. But this little fellow thinks he can do better. Unfortunatly for him, it's an unranked match with team kill switched on. Let's just say a shotgun in the back of an unsuspecting infant who doesn't know this fact can raise quite a scream hee hee.

Other than that time, I'm usually tolerant.

 

[Aerach]

Far Cry, that game is mother effing impossible. I had to uninstall it within an hour of installing, truly a painful experience.

EDIT : Yay, my first post!

 

[shatnershaman]

Dawn of war online. First time and I get pair up with some guys training for a tournament.

 

[KaZZaP]

Ninja's in Dead or Alive. I would play the slower grappler fighters becasue it would be all the more satisfying when you beat them, but I have many holes in my walls due to some ninja cheesemaster spamming high priority moves and teleports when the game is on the line.

 

[DesertHawk]

He he, this is a topic that I have too many examples to list. I'll just list a few of the more recent.

-Company of Heroes while playing with a certain family member online. I'm far from the best CoH player out there, but I'm not horrible. My uncle has the game too, and loves the look and feel of the game, he just can't play worth a snot. Yet, he insists on playing only 2v2 online matches. I get enraged to no end at some of the plain dumb decisions he makes in that game. Its not the mistakes themselves that make me angry, its just that he insists on making them every. single. time. twenty games straight, against all advice from myself and even the enemy players.

-MGO. I just plain can't stand that game, but two of my best friends love it and keep insisting that I play. So I try....try so very hard...and suck worse at it than any other game I've played. Yet I just keep forcing myself to play despite getting angrier as I continue. It makes me mad because I'm fairly good with most first person and third person shooters, yet everything about this game feels 'off' to some degree (I would go into detail, but thats probably not necessary right now). Broke a controller and some drywall over it.

-Playing Counterstrike for more than an hour a month.

To be honest, lately I have been trying to stay as far away from competitive online gaming as I possible can. I just don't taking losing, badly, very well. =(

 

[sicDaniel]

As a kid, losing against the AI in any sports game made me scream and throw the controller away. Dying at the final boss in Mario Land 2 made me smash my gameboy at my forehead, and the display broke.
Today, I just don´t play games at which i suck.

 

[ZacOfTheZombies]

I acually broke my TV/Controller one time while playing Sonic The Hedgehog.
