Aw dude, i got tales. When u love a game so much but quit out of sheer frustration on either a boss battle or certain part.


Happened a lot with MG:Snakeeater, Sonic and knuckles, every ninja gaiden game, and madden online :/
Most recently...yugi and FF iii for DS >8[


Theres road rage than theres gamer rage, am i the only emotionally over invested one?

    They need a support group for people like us.

    I've said in here before that I'm notorious for not finishing games, and that's why. I'll get angry at a boss, or ticked off because I can't find an item, or I'll not be able to solve a puzzle, and I'll get all mad and quit "for the day." Then the day stretches to a week, and I still can't think about playing without getting mad, so I don't, and by the time the rage subsides I've forgotten where I am in the game and I feel like I have to start over, which is too frustrating so I just give up.

    I think I'm a pro rage quitter, it's worse for single player games for some reason. So many games left unfinished....

    What got your rage on with Snake Eater?! I love that game!
  • It was a glorious game! Just figuring the old man sniper and big boss @ the end.

    I spent all day yesterday cussing out this one quest in Skyrim. But when I get stuck on something like a puzzle game, I cheat. That's right; I cheat. I go straight to a walk-through. But if I get ticked, you outta see my boyfriend. I've seen him toss his keyboard. ;}

    Gamefaqs.com has saved me several rage quits. I am not ashamed.
  • when I get stuck in a game i become a bit a pissy, well actully I want take the remote and jam into the tv screen. What I do is take a brake from the game (being stuck on a level, boss, ect...) and play a differnt game or do something else for awile. It seems after I come back all of the sudden the game is easy. but that just me.

    Often when I get stuck it's because my concentration has dipped, so often a break does the trick :D
  • lol..... brings back memories of WoW .. I was a mad gamer... a nice person when not playing games.. arenas and world pvp D:< lets just say i had to get a new mouse, head set, key bored ,desk, last thing i broke was my cell ...... i would rage quit every time our rating went down...

    .BAHAHA

    I did exactly this with Assassin's Creed. Can't remember the quest but I was hideously outnumbered and would always die. No going back to dashboard but just holding in guide button to turn xbox off......

    Himself has gone through a few controllers as he would punch them repeatedly and they wouldn't work after a while. His brother is worse though. When he couldn't complete a match on a boxing game he calmly walked over to the playstation, took disc out of drive, walked to front door and threw the game into the road and watched a lorry run it over and smash it.

    I have a friend at work who punches the fridge when he gets killed on MW3 and bites the controller........bless him!

    I finally got so pissed off at my kin (guild) leader on LOTRO that I rage-quit in the middle of a raid (I was the kin's main tank, so yeah... that was a really, really bad thing). It had built up over a few months of him harassing me, and despite being a really nice, super calm player (yes, it's true, that's rare for a raid tank, haha), I finally broke. It shocked everyone, and I missed a lot of people, but I definitely needed the break from the hardcore gaming life. Sometimes taking a bit of time off of a game is the way to deal with it. I came back to the game about a month ago after six months off, and it's been much more fun. I've approached it with a different attitude, adopted a support class as my main for now (my old main has become a much-loved - at least by me - alt), and I'm having a blast so far. A lot of my old kin-mates have commented on how much they missed me and how different my attitude is now.

    I dunno, maybe that'll help you a bit? :)

    i broke a few controllers in my teens and twenties. that beast doesnt rear its ugly head much anymore. the only time it happened in the last 10 years that i can think of was a few years ago when i was playing WOW and trying to lvl a frost mage by aoe grinding. i just couldnt get the handle of it and kept dieing. i finally got fed up and slammed my fist on my pull out keyboard tray and it broke. i just lol'd at myself at that point.

    The last game I rage quit was Dragon Age Origins. I get too invested in my games so when I found out that my character had to pick between her or Alistaire to kill the archdemon and ultimately die, I raged so hard haha :(

    Normally I am too stubborn and determined to finish a quest/battle etc. to rage quit though.

    So glad my husband isn't on MFP, because that's kind of a big spoiler there.

    Back in the day I did break a few controllers. Recently I rage quit on Dead Island where the auto-save put me in a really bad position. Took me like a day to beat one part that I kept dying only 20 sec after respawning. HATE!

    I just rage quit GTA China Town Wars for my phone >8-[


    Prob like halfway thru it, i get a text and it interrupts the game. No biggy, it pauses, when i get back to it, its frozen, no biggy i just saved it.
    So i close and reatart...everything was gone! Oh the humanity! So much time, gone. Argggggghhhhh.

    I wanted to press my phone screen so hard that the display would spiderweb. But i put Scott Pilgrim on and chilled myself the eff out.
    Oh well, ...it was mainly a waiting room game but it started growing on me :/

    Oop, sorry! Figured that it was spoiler free since the game has been out a while, I should have put a warning there. But even if he read it, no fear, there are work arounds and alternates to everything in DAO, I think that's the beauty of it haha.

    ohhhhh yea all the time! lol

    I just started playing Skyrim and i get so frustrated i always end up quitting.
  • I've done this a couple times when raiding on WoW. Wipe after wipe after wipe cos some idiot can't stop standing in fire. Fake a d/c and throw my keyboard down in disgust.

    I had to rage-quit Skyrim yesterday because this stupid draugr wight kept killing me and I got all mad. I gave it one more try, only to find that he wasn't in his usual place, so I figured maybe I'd snuck past him and went on into the next room. But he followed me and attacked me from behind, so I yelped, which was embarrassing because my husband was sitting right there, so I had to quit for a while. But he made me play again and helped me strategize, and I finally beat the thing and moved on. If my husband hadn't been here, I probably would have given up, and that would have been the end of Skyrim.

    I rage-quit Pirates of the Burning Sea at level 14 because some mean horrid lvl 49 sunk my ship. And I had all my supplies onboard (which they took).
    I hate PvP.
