Take the loss. You'll become a better player when you learn for your mistakes/losses. I have made people ragequit before. Two of them were funny. One of them wasn't.deantruelove said:i recently looked back with the help of my girlfriend on my experiences playing online games and playing games with a high difficulty. for example mw2. i'm not too bad at this game but when you get those bad days where people seem to play like a super saiyen in a spartan suite and it makes me feel like a lowly grunt. and i get so angry and frustrated that i want to crush the controller in my hands and punch myself in the face until i believe im in a time where pong was a mythical creature.
so is it worth it? going through a whole level to be stuck at one point and having to go back to the check point again and again, but then completely losing my mental stability and rage quitting to then have to do the whole level that took me 9763542 hours to get to the point i got stuck at again? or is it simply worth losing a mtch bonus on cod.
leave your thoughts..

If it's not fun, quit before you rage.

If your not enjoying the game... then you have to ask yourself why you are playing it. I've never rage quite but I don't play fps game all that often.
I only rage quit when the game has quited on me right before. Losing a lot of progress since your last save and suddenly it bugs out. I cant take shit like that.
For the rest i usually quit a game long before i get frustrated by idiots online or my own ineptitude at a SP

Endure, Master Wayne. Take it. They'll hate you for it, but that's the point of Batman, he can be the outcast. He can make the choice that no one else can make, the right choice. He can Rage Quit.Woem said:
It is good to rage quit, sometimes you just can't take it anymore. The only game I don't recommend it for is Halo 3. Bungie REEEEAALLY needs to fix that Penalization system. sometimes you just find yourself in a match with some hacking bastards or people you rather not play with. And what is you need to leave in the middle of a game for something in real life? Should that cost you EXP. I DON'T THINK SO!
for a singleplayer game, yes. I did that alot when playing through the missile control level in CoD4. It wa very frustrating, but i got through it over time. I refuse To play through the Mile High Club after 3 hours of foaming-at-the-mouth frustration.every day.for three weeks.
the MW2 campaign? That's easy even on veteran as long as your patient. I don't rage quit, but I quit a lot; even if I'm 50-6, If I get 3 or 4 deaths that I could not prevent, then I leave to go play another match where there is less BS. If at any point I join a game in progress, I instantly leave as late join is probably the worst idea ever implemented in a multuplayer game.
If I'm having a super shitty game like 1-10 and I feel the enemy's are either being cheapish (like everyone is noob tubing - nothing against it usually but if a whole team does it... no thanks) or maybe they're all on their prestige mode super awesome whereas I'm only lvl 41 so there's a big gap in map memorization and when you don't know every little nook and cranny, ugh. So yea then it's worth it to just switch games and hope you're with people closer to you calibre. On the other hand, if I'm just getting unlucky then I know I can do better so I just push through and hope the next map is more in my favour.
Campaign wise, just lower the difficulty. I initially beat the game on normal, then started doing it on Hard and only got halfway, and it was tough. Fast forward a few months I just started playing MW2 a lot again recently and managed to finish on Veteran after about a week of trying. It was very tough, many checkpoints I had to redo at least 10-15 times. Like in the goulag shower room. Or the estate level, both guarding the computer stuff and also after that, the escape. I actually raged at one point and punched my couch armrest pretty hard... it kinda hurt since I hit the wood under. But, I calmed down a bit and eventually pushed through.

If a game is making you that angry then it's probably a sign that you should put it down for a couple of months. I got so angry with my defenders in FIFA 10 that I broke my Dualshock 3. I've only just started playing again and now I don't find myself in such rage inducing situations.
Though God Of War is starting to get to me, the first encounter with the Cerberuses(Cerberusi?) is really starting to get to me. I have a small soft rugby ball for throwing in those situations though.

Since I've recently been playing team-oriented games like Left 4 Dead 2 and Bad Company 2, I would have to say 'no', as it's not pleasant losing half of your team from rage-quits when you're already behind in a match. If other people are relying on you, don't do it - at least last until the end of the round! That being said, if you're playing a single-player game or a less team-oriented online game, screw it! If you aren't having fun, then don't play!
I normally don't rage quit. That's not to say I've never done it before. Mainly because of lag I will do it.
If I'm not having fun with the game I leave, it's that simple, I don't care enough about a fictional video game enough to defend my reputation on it.
