Videogame Rage

Do you rage when you play videogames? If you do, what game? What makes you rage when you play Videogames? How do you deal with it?

I never really rage...

Exceptions are bosses in RPGs sometimes, when I got them down to low HP and they pull some insta-kill crap (RAGE is proportional to the time spent battling). Or stupid puzzles.

This exactly.

Also when people play online and feel the need to cheat by "getting off the map" or lagswitching in ranked matches, then I don't really rage, but I still get heated.

Oh yes, i do have my share of rageing. wierd thing is the games i get frustrated with are the games that i really enjoyed/enjoy playing. When i get pretty good at the game the raging stops, because by then there is not as much as a challenge.

Virtual-On: Marz Ultimate Mode. Shit makes me rage so hard. Nothing says "Fuck you!" like having three enemy mechs rape your ass ... in waves ... But it's necessary to get the badass Temjin 747a8.

Of course I rage. It's way more fun that way. It's not really serious rage, but lots of indignant umbrage and trash talking. Also just expressing rage by yelling the word "RAGE!"

I don't seriously get angry while playing games though.

F-Zero GX.

REAL rage. RPGs are nothing compared to that.

Spyro 3, the skateboard sections, trying to get enough points = CHILDHOOD MEGA RAGE!

I think thanks to that experience my PS1 controller had bite marks on it.. I'm a crazy man.

Only time I rage is if I'm pissed off from repeating the same mission over and over again. (or if I play Tekken :P)

Fighting games make me rage, when I face a cheap ass player that follow the bandwagon and pretends to know how to play that said fighting game...

How I deal with it? I beat the crap out of them and laugh at them (jk on this but usually i just stop playing and do something else)

Fighting games, Dose not matter which, but there is always a point where I will get my ass beat senseless and get frustrated. This is coming from a person who considers himself skilled at the genre

It's more like I quietly say "God damnit...." but that's about it. I'm a calm, patient person.

When I was about 7, I used to have this Konami handheld TMNT game. The kind of thing that had a basic LCD display that would just flick between the different positions, like a digital watch.

It was so fucking hard, so fucking annoying. I would throw it against the wall or just scream and actually start biting and chewing it. It ended up covered in teeth marks. I haven't got anywhere near as mad with a game since then apart from Phantasy Star Online on the GC. After 100s of hours, the memory card corrupted and I lost my character. I was so pissed off I ripped the top off the GC.

More recently, I just tend to kind of hang my head and sigh. I'm far too mature for those shenanigans now. The other day I was playing Lost Odyssey. It's easy as piss until that dragon boss who can kill all your party in 2-3 turns if he does the same move in a row. I died 3 times on him, used GameFAQs, died again, then did it on the 5th attempt after grinding three very slow levels. Then I moved into the next area and half an hour later was killed by normal enemies despite entering the battle with full HP. I raged moderately. Then I reloaded, got to the same point and then got DISC READ ERROR on the screen. I didn't rage, I just kind of resigned myself to the fact and played Fallout 3 instead.

Edit

It's good to know I'm not the only one that would bite my gaming devices.

Mortal Kombat 3 on my ds. Shao Kahn is the cheapest son-of-a-bitch to ever walk the earth. All of his attacks are unblockable and he keeps using the same cheap attacks to push you into a corner and eventually add your spine to his neatly stacked spine pile. Oh, and Jade is hard as hell to fight against because the computer is a master of timing her temporary invincibility as soon as I throw Scorpion's spear and then pummel my health by half before I could even regain control of my fighter. I usually swear up a storm capable of making kids cry in the next couple of counties over, but I've never gotten to the point of abusing the same stuff that I've paid good money for.

Simple answer thing:

Rage = Button Mashing = Fighting Games

Button mashers on fighting games get stomped on if they try me.

Oh yeah, fighting games.

I don't rage over button mashers. I rage over ONSLAUGHT.

Only managed to beat him once in my entire fucking lifetime.

/thread.

Whenever I'm a moment where it seems like the game is rigged to make me fail, I rage. It's not even exclusive to enemies. Just yesterday I was playing Mass Effect and I was driving on a planet with huge fucking mountains, and my destination was on the other side of this HUGE FUCKING MOUNTAIN. I couldn't go around the mountain so I had to drive up it. After a few times sliding down I raged. About 20 minutes later I finally drove up the mountain at the right angle. Angry perseverance ftw.

i always rage when playing combo control fighting game....

I über-rage all the time when the game is being a dick.

Last time was last week when the Zeus quick time-event in God of War 2 was fuckin me up the ass over and over, pissed me off to the point where I was screaming out loud.
But once I got past that shit the feeling was all the more awesome~
