When was the last time you ragequit?

[Diddy_Mao]

I've been playing WoW pretty much since it launched and I've only rage quit once and that was roughly 2 months ago.

Bit of backstory. I have always played on the Horde. I find the overal community to be more tolerable (note I didn't say perfect) and even factoring the Blood Elves into the equation I run into fewer folks with thinly veiled pop culture references for names who have more fun making poopy farty jokes in general chat than actually playing the game.

But just for a laugh and to see how the story plays out for the other team I rolled up a Pandaren monk and started dungeon leveling it for the Alliance.

Dungeon 1: entire party full of Pandaren monks, new x-pack everyone is still learning the new class it was a bit of a mess but I can hardly blame anyone for it.

Dungeon 2: More standard assortment of Warrior Tank, Druid Healer and two Rogues who seemed to be confused as to whether or not their class was capable of tanking. Tank was arms spec and couldn't hold his aggro to save his life. Party wiped 5 times.

Dungeon 3: Huntards!

Dungeon 4: Entire party incapable of keeping simple unit cohesion. Rogue off picking fights independent of the tank, healer wandering off to pick flowers in the middle of combat, tank once again incapable of maintaining aggro at all Hunter unaware that he actually has skills other than auto fire.

The party wiped twice on Kresh before I yelled at the whole party for being a bunch od ADD riddled halfwits and may or may not have mentioned something about "herding cats" and then just disconnected.

To be honest I think my character is still in Wailing Caverns.



The thing is...I'm not that guy. I don't harp on players with less than optimal skill rotations, I don't have macros assigned to automatically ridicule a player for clicking the wrong skill at the wrong time and I'm not that asshole who feels the need to report DPS rankings to the whole party and then demand everyone explain themselves if they aren't in a 5 way tie for first.

As long as everyone knows their role on a basic level and doesn't routinely actively fuck up I'm actually pretty chill.

Ico. I ragequit so hard that I'm not even going back.

It's really, reeeeeaally enjoyable to have hordes of shadow-things come after me, when all I have is a fucking stick, and Yorda doesn't have the brain cells to fight back or run or do anything helpful at all. Also, Ico takes about a hundred years to stand back up when he gets knocked down. So that's fun. And when they take Yorda to a portal miles away, so that I have literally zero chance to get there in time. Oh, I love it all so much.

I hate that I have to constantly keep tabs on Yorda, and take her absolutely everywhere with me. And it never ceases to bother me that running with Yorda is incredibly jerky.

Natural Selection 2, I have a 30-4 K ratio as aliens, saving up for onos.

The rest of my team are something along the lines of 2-14. If I'm in one part of the map the frontiersmen can not attack or advance that way without serious difficulty. I watch the rest of my team camp above a phase gate in a hive waiting for the frontiersmen to come out rather than attacking the gate. One human with a shotgun comes out and kills all 5 skulks by himself. The team doesn't even all attack him at once, they wait for someone else to make the attempt first and when they die try and 'steal' a kill against a reloading enemy - shotguns don't reload like that, they almost always have shells in the chamber.

I finally have enough to go onos and do serious damage to a hive outpost by myself, after taking out a phase gate and observatory I run away to heal before heading back in. A gorge on my team managed to, while I was attacking, build a wall blocking my escape. Rather than heal me he spits at the marine with his default attack, I die.

I quit X-Com about half an hour ago. I kept having my team ass raped because I kept loading back a turn, thinking I could do stuff differently. But none of my team were able to get far away enough from this fucking petrol station where they spawned, so they kept getting blown up or shot because cover was shithouse. So I left it for now. Aside from that, it's generally a fun game. Before that though...

...Assassins Creed 3. I don't even know where to begin; there are so many problems that game has that it shouldn't. We finally got Desmond doing something (Which, to be honest, Ubisoft should've had in the fucking second game), but when we start getting a bit of characterisation, we;re back as Connor, who is uninteresting as hell. 1600s (I can't remember the exact year) look as bland as anything. In fact, this was one of the few times I agreed almost entirely with Yahtzee in his video. I don't think I've ever rage-quit from a game so many times as Ass 3.

Last week I decided to give Dark Souls another chance and I was actually kinda having fun for a bit, then I lost 10,000 souls to the Capra demon because the said boss fight is bullshit. I died the second I walked into room like three more times then gave up and went to play something that doesn't hate me.

 

[juvemisfit]

A few days ago. One of the few times I've ragequit before a round even started.

> Team Fortress 2
> Mann vs Machine
> First into the server, take up my normal role as medic
> 2nd connects in takes scout
> 3rd takes Pyro
> 4th takes Sniper
> 5th takes Sniper
> 6th takes Spy

Noped out of there before anyone else readied up, just to save my sanity.

 

[OrpheusTelos]

Playing Darksiders, on the angel gauntlet before the second dungeon. I actually did really like the game, I plan on getting back to it on an easier difficulty setting...

Left 4 Dead 2

My friends and I were getting our arses handed to us by what I like to imagine some professional players. Eventually I threw my headset on the desk yelled at my friends one more time and just gave up.

I once lost two armies trying to take Kyoto. Wasn't due to bad luck, just poor tactics on my part.

I was too sad to ragequit. It was such a crushing defeat, I felt like commiting Seppuku right then and there.

Spoiler

SHAMEFUR DISPRAY

OT: Honestly can't remember. Not really much of a ragequitter in DOTA, I have 15 abandons after roughly 800 games which isn't much as far as I know.

I was attacking Kyoto recently, my one army being enough to defeat the shogun's 2 armies because the way I do things is I lay siege then wait for them to sally out and die. I had defeated the shogun's armies, slaughtered the men, and before I can get to the campaign map where it'd autosave it crashed. It just fucking crashed. I haven't been back to the game since.

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2.

There's a section extremely early in the game where you're thrown in prison and have to avoid being caught by uh...

Spoiler: this absolutely beautiful creature

Kumbhanda, or as I like to call him, skeletal rapey horse thing. Considering I DESPISE chase sections in games and the way this guy looks...I'm not sure I'm picking up DDS2 for a little while. Even though the section in question is actually quite short and probably wouldn't take too long. I just failed once and gave up because somehow that stuff was just too frightening for me.

 

[cookyt]

I wouldn't call it a rage quit (maybe angry quit is better), but I just couldn't take it anymore in Dark Souls. Died 3 times because I walk over a 2 inch piece of wood on the ground, so I slipped and fell to my death; once due to being toxic poisoned and not getting my purple moss out fast enough; twice on the boss because of an instant-kill area attack where I just didn't get my shield up in time; and once because I picked up an item, it was transferred to my quick select, and I used it instead of the healing flask I meant to use right before getting pummeled into the ground by a troll with a large club.

I'll probably be back at it later.

 

[Ironbat92]

Yesterday when trying out Borderlands 2. I was on this quest, killing enemies, and then this big boss comes out of no where, keeps killing me since he's one level up, and that made me keep going back to the check point, where I had to run back to kill him, with his health regenerated, and I would Die again, rinse and repeat. I ended up returning the game and am now putting that money towards buying a Wii U.

Yeah, he's a pain to kill. Last time I fought him, I died enough to make me put the game down for 2 months. There's a trick to beating him by using the environment to your advantage.

Spoiler

Use the stairs to the side of him. Lead him up, then fall off. He'll fall off after you, and you can attack him as he recovers from the fall. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Also, I wouldn't advise going into a boss fight with a significant amount of souls.

Halo: Combat Evolved

Truth and Reconciliation:

Why can't you assholes sit right the fuck there and wait for me to stealth kill the Elites BEFORE you storm the area?!

 

[144_v1legacy]

Never. I play with humility.

Wait, are we also counting single-player? In that case, Bastion, a few days ago, during the hammer proving ground.

[SilverBullets000]

Recently, Ninja Gaiden 3. Twice. Though, in all honesty, it's my own damn fault. I knew that Ninja Gaiden was supposed to be a hard game, but I just shrugged and gave it a shot anyway. [sub]Hell, I hear that this one is supposed to be too easy? What the hell are those players on?[/sub]

Second bossfight seemed like a fight against a dark-side character (like Dark Link, etc,) and had an unblockable move. Not only that, but hitting him didn't make him flinch in the least, so every hit I landed left me open for a barrage of attacks. It was such a chore to beat him that I finally switched to the easiest mode...only to find that it actually played the game for me (avoided attacks and blocked on his own) rather than made it any easier. That was my first rage-quit.
The second came later, when they put me up against three guys who were very similar to the earlier character and expected me to beat them all. Yeah, I'm not playing that game ever again. I'll just watch someone who knows what the hell they're doing on youtube.

 

[Tahaneira]

I'm not sure if I would call it a ragequit, but my last experience was Assassin's Creed III.

I was upset to discover that I was one of the many who was glitched out of the 'An Extraordinary Man' achievement. Then, to my joy, I heard that the Thanksgiving patch had fixed it! Filled with hope, I rushed onto the game and hurried for the Homestead, ready to complete the last scan and claim my achievement.

Only to discover that the glitch was not fixed retroactively and I'd have to start an entirely new file to get it.

Well, I think to myself.

Fuck.

So I quit and read Terry Pratchett.

 

[Kaamos]

Alan Wake. After the third fight where they send like a million guys after you I just gave up and quit to the desktop. I can barely take two or three at once, but when they send like, five guys at the same time, two or more of them being strong dudes that can pretty much one hit kill me and require like three full flashlights before I can even start hurting them, yeah screw this I'm going to play Fallout.

And I know you're supposed to avoid enemies in survival horror games, but these guys run as fast as you. Even if you make it to a "safe haven" the guys just reappear when you leave, and catch up to even if you try to run like a madman to the next area.
