Ragequitting. Goddamn.

[surg3n]

I tend to rage quit when things get unbalanced. Like playing Battlefield, and getting spawn raped, I would tend to rage quit then. Proper rage quitting, like Alt+F4, or pressing the power button on my 360 with my big toe... well I try to justify it, I think the game I've rage quitted on the most is Trackmania Nations, that game always seems like a good idea at the time, then I realize how much I suck at it!

 

[A-D.]

I never actually ragequitted or /qq'd if anyone even remembers what it stands for, damn youngun's. I think the only reason i'd have to actually leave a game is because someone on the opposing team is hacking, and i dont mean "they play so good they must be hacking", i mean literally speedhacking, aimbotting, whatever you can think of for any kind of game out there.

Though i have left and rejoined games when teambalance was truly off, i.e. the team i was in was basicly roflstomping the opposition, so i'd just switch over, even it out a little, besides, a challenge is nice.

I experienced the antithesis of ragequitting: rageENDURING!

WAY back when GTA IV launched, I entered a MP match using the ENTIRE Liberty City as the map, free-for-all, first to 100 kills wins. Absurd, right? Of course. We started out with about a dozen or so people; after all of 15 minutes and the then leader having about 8 kills, people started dropping out, one by one. This went on for about an hour and it finally dwindled down to just me and one other guy! We both had total kills in the 20's (race to 100, remember.) Neither of us had our mics so the next THREE HOURS was total silence of just the two of us griefing each other in heliocopters, drive-bys, rocket launchers in busy streets, etc. Just WAITING for the other guy to quit. Neither of us caved. He did stop playing for a 20-minute stretch (mommy probably called him to dinner or something,) but this did not deter me; I was playing on principle alone by this time. I simply went to his blip on the map, murdered him, went to wherever his blip turned up next, murdered him. When he finally jumped back on, it was like 80-something to 60-something. He tried to mount a silent comeback, but it was too late, I beat him in an endurance match to 100 that took over 4 hours. When the game was over, I found myself just sitting in the lobby, like it never happened. No fan fare, no laurels for my significant feat of manhood. Nothing. I was just starving and had to piss like a racehorse.

... but I won!!

Dude that's fucking awesome.

 

[mysecondlife]

I don't rage. I just sigh in admission of defeat... which is what happened when I played Ninja Gaiden. The camera control for that game is just impossible.

 

[tmande2nd]

Was playing Dragon Age 2 on Nightmare.

Had just won the last fight in the Legacy DLC.
It crashed RIGHT AS IT ENDED.

I then went to bed in a huff cursing my laptops machine spirit for failing the Game-Emperor.

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

I ragequit once in my life.

When I was transitioning from controller to fightstick in Blazblue. I was playing Jin against another Jin, and due to not being familiar with a stick yet (and the other guy just being much better than me), I got perfected, with my best character by my best character. It had been a long night trying to adjust to the stick, and in my rage, I just shut off my 360. About five minutes afterwards, I go back on and sent the guy a very long, very apologetic message, explaining what had happened and why I did it. He was cool and asked for a rematch, which we did a week later.

Anyway, when somebody ragequits on me, I generally send them a smiley face.
If they reply negatively, I send them another smiley face.
If they reply again negatively, I just type out SMILEY FACE!
If they continue to be a little *****, I send a shocked face. :O

People generally quit after the though.

3rd phase Riku fight in Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded. After dying at least 40 times, I finally gave up. He had one attack that dealt a ridiculous amount of damage and was very hard to avoid. The most annoying part was that to get to that fight you went through a door, then immediately fought 5 boss fights counting the different stages of bosses. No time to prepare, so I only had crappy potions on me, and only 3. And so by the time I got their I was screwed before I began. I finally just loaded my save, only to find I also needed to go through a corrupted area again. At that point I just said screw it and turned my laptop on. ;_;

 

[Lil_Rimmy]

Yeah, this is spoiler because it is pretty long... so... yeah... spoilers.... woooo..

Spoiler

Heh, I used to play Planet storm, a MMOFPS with vehicles and aircraft and base and shit like that.

Basically, instead of buying things you got "Certificates" by levelling up and you spend your certificates to unlock things. E.g. You can spend I think 3 certificate points to unlock Reaver aircraft.

Then when you unlock the vehicle/gun/armour/aircraft, you go to a base and either request one from the vehicle pad, or get your guns and armour from terminals.

Now, I was a pretty good pilot, with my Mosquito and Reaver. The Reaver was an armoured aircraft with missiles and dual cannons, while the Mosquito was a fast-as-fuck little ship with a single cannon.

What I always did was attack and evade. I would see an enemy ship flying along, probably travelling to whatever base was under siege at that time, and I would fly up behind, then let rip. As he tries to spin around, I boost past him and the race is on. I could fly so damn close to the ground it wasn't funny.

I would dodge his attacks, and if there was a mountain or a canyon, I would zip through there and loose him. Now, when he disengages and flies off, I spin back around, fly straight up and come back down from above.

What would happen is a cycle of him getting pissed and attacking, then flying off, then attacking, then getting pissed and flying away.

So...

I don't make people ragequit. I make them ragefly-the-fuck-away.

I even managed to clear an entire airspace over a sieged base. When I came back, we had taken over. Yay!

 

[Ninjat_126]

I've only ever really ragequitted on CODBLOPS. And that's when I join a game with 2 min left, and the other team are curb stomping us into the ground with simultaneous chopper gunners, attack dogs and bombing runs.

Oh, and one match on L4D2 where there seemed to be a Witch every chapter blocking a doorway. Of course, some idiot (or a bot...) decides to shine a light in its eyes, and since I often take point in these sorts of situations, I'm the guy stuck blocking the hallway. Plus, the server was Realism, so I died in a single hit and had to wait around for half an hour or so while they explored every single room and triggered every single horde. Then I respawned in the next safehouse at 50% health with crappy guns, walked out and immediately got OHK'd by a Witch someone else had startled. Fuck. That. Shit.

 

[Sub_Soldier]

DEAR GOD DOTA 2, my first game my ENTIRE team left when the other team only destroyed like 2 towers so it was just me and an eternity of waiting for the other team to finish. Its not an isolated case either! EVERY game I've played has had rage quitters. There seriously needs to be some punishment for that...

 

[Phlakes]

So many Halo 3 matches, mostly on that one map, the UNSC base with all the Brute targets and the sword on one side. In one of them, one of my friends was playing on the same console, our entire team quit and we just stuck together, sneaking around and dominating them all, until we both died and spawned in one of the otherwise inaccessible roofs, and hid until the timer ran down. Same thing happened that same day with an Infection match.

I once broke my controller playing MK9. After the tenth time playing Rayden vs. Shao Kahn in story mode and getting pounced, I just threw the controller across the room.

Still haven't beaten the bastard yet.

Pro tip: Stand very close to him. Wait for him to telegraph an attack, then jump over him and land a combo from behind. Rinse and repeat. Works for any character, and when you get the hang of it, it becomes an easy fight.

OT: There are occasions when I rage-quit from BF3, but it only really happens early in the game. If I'm off to a bad start, for example, with a 1-5 K/D. For fear of preserving my overall K/D, I'll quit and look for another game.

But if I start falling behind right in the middle of a match, for example, I'll stick it out. There was one occasion in BF3 playing on the defending team on Rush. The other team had destroyed every single M-COM station but one. All of my teammates had K/D's below one. We were being brutalized. I myself had an 11-23 record. But the pressure of being so close to losing somehow gave my team serious cohesion. It was like gaming nirvana. We stuck it out, and ended up winning. I had raised my record to 24-23. It felt good.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is, if I'm off to a really bad start in the first couple minutes, I'm liable to rage-quit. If I'm doing my best, but my team is still taking a pounding, I'll stick it out. And I think that's how most people are in terms of rage-quitting. I think everyone has a right to drop out of a match as long as it's still early in the game, at a point where their quitting won't make a difference to the team.

 

[Exius Xavarus]

I generally avoid playing competitive games, to be perfectly honest. I don't really ragequit, though. If I'm playing a multiplayer, I only ever ragequit if the opposition is fighting with unfair means and rage tactics. Fuck those guys.

 

[Master Kuja]

I rage like an absolute champ at times when I play BF3.
I usually take deaths with grace, but I do not take it well when my death stems from either the fucking awful hitboxes that game has (getting killed when you've been sat behind cover for a good second or two, anyone?), or when I light someone up, have every shot visibly register and then have him turn round and drop me in under a second like absolutely nothing happened, then for the kill cam to show up and show him sitting at something like 50 health.

Oh yeah, and spawn killing, that shit pisses me off but more often than not I take that as a personal challenge. It usually ends with me and a buddy jumping in an attack helicopter and bringing our team back from a 100-150+ ticket deficit to a victory.

 

[Irridium]

Sometimes. Before I could power through it. But now, I have better things to do than to have a game or person piss me off.

For games if I'm stuck at a part, I usually retry five times before I stop. Usually I'm able to come back later and beat it, so that helps.

For people I just leave. Since staying can't lead to anything good.

 

[loudestmute]

I have killed many controllers as they've been tossed about the room, and have spouted out so many curse words I had to invent new ones to express my frustrations. But I will never ragequit mid-round. Wait until the game is over or the next checkpoint appears (whichever is appropriate for the game in question), then ragequit, but never before any consolation prizes are handed out.

I call it "rationally irrational hatred"

 

[CulixCupric]

Ragequitting; one of the many reasons I do not play multiplayer, except this doesn't apply to 1vs1 starcraft2, because then you win if your opponent ragequits, but it still is annoying in 2vs2, 3vs3, and 4vs4.

 

[AetherWolf]

I almost felt like ragequitting DJ Hero 2 myself after seeing DLC containing 3 songs costing $7.99 each. But this is Activision we're talking about here.

[sub]I cried a little on the inside when Daft Punk avatars didn't return from the first one.[/sub]

 

[Ectoplasmicz]

I Wanna be the Guy.

Although it's understandable that game made me check myself into a mental asylum.
