My nephew just rage-quit MG Rising. Ah...

[dragoongfa]

I rarely rage quit a game nowadays, now I only just scream expletives when I loose but back in the day, oh boy...

I still remember my first PS1 and how it was murdered by my hand. I was playing Gran Turismo 2 and in particular one of it's endurance races. My car was barely able to stay at the front of the pack and I had to time my tire changes carefully in order to maintain the lead. Despite everything I managed to stay at the lead throughout the race but 5 laps before the end I slightly misjudged a turn and I was passed by 3 cars at the same time.

I screamed bloody murder but I kept going, I passed one of them 1 lap later and I managed to pass the 2nd car 2 laps before the finish, then at the final lap I was toe to toe with the lead car when the third car came from behind at a turn and cut me off, passing me and the lead.

I finished 3rd...

The Playstation was thrown against the wall and shattered.

Not really a rage quit more of a quit by a thousand "ugh that too?"s.

New thief. I went in with low expectations and they managed to go below my already low expectations. It was a mission where the mix of the sound issues, incoherent story, forced chase scenes and gear/movement limitations annoyed me to uninstall. I hated being a great thief then walking into the room and knowing it would go wrong. There was one where the safe where I knew as soon as it was opened I would get caught. I hoped my gamer sense was wrong but they did that trick there and several other places. Never beat the game but I am willing to bet the dlc bank is on of the best levels.

Otherwise I don't usually rage quit more of a meh or bored quit.

 

[The Wykydtron]

Half an hour later, he quits out of frustration because he can't figure out how to parry. (Easy Mode gives you an automated parry.)

Now, it would be wrong of me not to feel some small amount of guilt over getting him so riled up, but at the same time, my heart swells with the hope that next time he plays this game, he'll actually pay attention to what the game is telling him and learn some of its nuances.

It does bear pointing out that a good part of that is that MG:R has one of the worst parry systems I've ever encountered in a game. It's far more finicky than it has any good reason to be.

Is it? I know it was kinda hard to pick up but once I got used to it I could parry anything. By "got used to" I mean once I got the shit kicked out of me by the Monsoon boss fight. He is basically a "I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW TO PARRY LOL" difficulty spike of crazy proportions.

Lol'd at the kid who ragequits Normal. I've beaten the game on Revengeance, that's just hilarious to me.

I've rage quit League of Legends on occasion but in the sense of I'll wait till the games over and not come back to it for like a month.

There are some champions I just can not deal with laning against no matter how many games I play against them and it can be infuriating at times.

This. I've got way better as time goes on but all of the characters I hate are super popular right now. Fuck you Zed. Get out of my mid lane. You edgy ****. "Oh i'm so cool, I can reset to shadows ohhhh jukes" fuck i'm legitimately getting angry just thinking about him.

Remember when mid was two mages? When it was a quickdraw cowboy contest to see who could catch the other out and do their 100-0 combo faster? Good times.

I just play jungle to avoid all of that lane stuff. Sion jungle, farm til 6, ignore all usual gank routes and ult into mid or bot lane when they're pushed to tower whenever it's off cooldown. Even if you miss it, they now have an angry Sion between them and their tower. An angry Sion spamming /laugh because it looks totally hilarious. Say whatever you want about Riot but their decision to let you bind emotes to a key is amazing. /laugh on Spacebar, who needs the camera reset?

I ragequit against the CPU way more than against other people. When I play some Fire Emblem for half an hour, you'll probably hear me go "FUCKING ARCHERS" then reset the 3DS to not lose my flying unit.

I usually end up ragequitting every other DOTA 2 game by now, I stopped trying to learn that game ages ago but I very occasionally try to get back into it after a break "oh I like watching DOTA gameplay, why don't I play some myself?"

30 minutes later

"I REMEMBER NOW"

I'm reminded of Pyrion Flax's words on good DOTA players giving you advice

DOTA guy: "Oh Pyrion, you just need to do X and Y and Z and it's all fine!"

Pyrion: "After giving you this advice, they then expect it to work. And they expect it to work now"

Rage quitting huh...

I think Marvel Heroes because I didn't know that choosing a random character would have locked me with that person.

Well, another one is FTL a lot. A LOT.

 

[Worgen]

I didn't so much rage quit as finish a level and decide I didn't feel like putting in the effort to get any further in they bleed pixels. It's just not as playable as super meat boy.

 

[V da Mighty Taco]

I'll never understand why I keep playing post-W@W CoD games, as I almost always end up eventually getting incredibly frustrated at the crappy spawn system that likes to spawn players right around the corner or right behind the guy / gal who just killed them (even if the spawning player occasionally is me) as well as the rest of the anti-fun mechanics that plague those games (fuck those progression systems). In the end though, I'm still playing Black Ops 2 and don't understand why. I even notice just how incredibly disproportionate the amount of fun I end up having when I win compares to how shit I feel after losing, and is something I notice in other players as well (talking about seeing players I personally know in real life). There's something genuinely addictive about those games that keeps you playing well after you stop having any sort of fun out of those games.

FTL is another good example of a rage-quit game, though otherwise it loses the similarities to the above. There's nothing quite like getting wrecked in the first or second sector due to a bad roll and immediately telling FTL to go fuck itself with a pine tree. XD

 

[Augustine]

You know...
I don't think I ever rage-quit anything. Is it a common occurrence, I wonder?
I guess that makes me a decent Stoic, does it not?

 

[BytByte]

It used to be a lot worse, but there was never any throwing. You could just tell how mad I was relative to how high I was sitting up on the couch, like actually sitting on top of the back of the couch. Also, the more often I said "Are you serious?", the worse it was. Thankfully that stuff's in the past. Rage is not fun.

 

[Poetic Nova]

I frequently rage-quit STALKER.

But I keep going back.
such is life in the Zone.

If you aren't playing it on the hardest difficulty, do it. It actually makes the game easier since accuracy and bullet damage scaled the wrong way around if you play it on I.E. normal.

 

[Catfood220]

Spec Ops: The Line on FUBAR difficulty is just the worst. I normally do not rage during gaming, but FUBAR... oh my gosh.
The part where one of your squadmates is sitting next to a crashed helicopter, constantly yelling at you to protect him...

Not only was it incredibly annoying to constantly hear the guy's pleading for help, the game also throws some of the most infuriating enemy types at you. Shotgunners, assault rifle-wielding guys who never come out of cover unless you stick your neck out first, and to top it off, a heavy trooper. How is that supposed to be even remotely enjoyable? After the fourth time in a row where I managed to kill almost everyone, only to be insta-killed by the heavy, I was just so done with that game. I uninstalled it in disgust and have to this day never felt the need to come back.

I can't remember, is that before or after the mounted gun in the shopping mall bit? Because that was the worst bit of doing the game on FUBAR for me. It doesn't help that your guys won't take cover and wait for me to take out the enemies with my mounted gun. No, they have to be heroes themselves and will march into incoming enemy fire like lemmings walking off a cliff. I was going for the platinum trophy and if it wasn't for my friend telling me to carry on, I probably would have quit then.

And the bit in the carpark. That game is horrible on FUBAR.

Rage Quitting is a rarity for me, mainly because I have a lot of patients for things that can be otherwise tedious. The last game I rage quit was probably Duke Nukem Forever and Ride to Hell: Retribution. What I mean was, I was doing an LP of those two games, but stopped entirely. Ride to Hell was because it was literally one of the worst games I've ever played (and I've played 6 chapters of Superman 64 and all of Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis); Duke Nukem Forever was because I sufferred constant technical problems when recording and it got to the point in which I'd have to restart the entire game again.

I have never thrown a controller or destroyed a piece of gaming equipment though when raging, as I'd know I'd regret it.

 

[chozo_hybrid]

I've always known when to take a break from a game before it gets to that point. I usually get more diapointed with myself then anything else, since I usually know I can do better.

 

[Someone Depressing]

I don't have a lot of patience, but I've never broke a keyboard or a TV or anything like that. I don't really rage-quit all that much; only if I'm very annoyed at whatever I'm attempting to do.

I have, however, witnessed the subtle emotions peering through the scholarly Xbox Live players' nuanced minds. Their proverbial stoicism cracks. Hilarity ensues. And then their mom comes in, beats them up, and threatens to call their father.

But then it's funny again because someone plays Rickroll.

 

[Tsun Tzu]

Used to rage quit like a ************ when I was a pre-teen/early teenager.

I grew out of it.

Now it's just quiet irritation leading to repressed emotion, which culminates in the formation of ulcers.


...Young me may have been on to something.

 

[Handbag1992]

Bought Bayonetta 2 with the original Bayonetta included. Had a great time replaying the original, then after beating 2 I went back to the first one and spent a good 8 hours grinding for halos to unlock the secret boss. Had my ass handed to me a few times, gave up and then came back to it, only to find that I hadn't saved the game. 9m halos needed to unlock the boss, haven't played the game since.

 

[jademunky]

I rage-quit at the first boss of the "Crown of the Ivory King" DLC for Dark Souls II. Tried him 10 times, respecced my tanky guy for a faith/agi type build, sank a whole lot of shards into upgrading new weapons and armour and still cannot solo him. Finally I just gave up and have not played since.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I ragequit Pokemon Pinball. How are you suppose to capture them all in pinball form when you only have two flipper and a stupid pinball to do so (I can never flip the ball angle right)??!!

 

[Odbarc]

Super Mario Kart; SNES version, because it is best.
Early days of playing it, we suck, 50cc, can't come first. (Playing as DK or Yoshi, it can happen.)
Keep sometimes maybe almost seeing something that looks like a lightning bolt.
Never get lightning bolts. Rumored item, not true.
Eventually gets lightning bolt, happily screaming, excited, omg omg omg, what does it do? Let's line up a shot, might be like red shell but better?
Dad hears screaming, runs in, pulls the SNES with all it's cords and leaves with it cords snapping off, he doesn't give a fuck. Thinks we're fighting over the "idiot box".

Not exactly the typical rage-quit but some of us had Dad's who didn't give a flying fornication. Happened almost every other week.

 

[Ygrez]

Only games I've ever rage quit were games that had some minor choice/event near the start end up blocking off stuff later on in the game. I tend to come back and finish the games anyways, but it takes a while for me to play the game again.

ie: Missable Zodiac spear in FFXII, because you opened some unmarked chest early in the game. "Tales of X" games are also pretty bad with this. They tell you there's no time to lose and that you have to move forward, but if you don't want to miss side-quests, you need to backtrack, sometimes pretty far back or else they are lost until you start a new game with no warning.

 

[JagermanXcell]

My most recent rage quit was out of sheer disappointment really... the end of the last DLC of Dark Souls 2.
I enjoyed the last DLC, enjoyed fighting Avaa, enjoyed creaming over the bone fist, and enjoyed what they were going for with Ivory King,... and then the Frigid Outskirts happened.
Probably the worst area in the entire series which is a shame cause it had an interesting gimmick. So the boss had at least better be goddamn worth i-

Two Avaa's..... TWO AVAAS?! B TEAM... F*** YOU. F*** YOUR DLC, F*** YOUR GANK BOSSES, F*** YOUR COOL RANCH SMELTER A DLC AGO, F*** YOUR LAZINESS, F*** THIS AREA. AND AGAIN, F*** YOU. Then I let the "boss" kill me and stopped playing the game since.
