Rage quitting

[User_10273415]

How often do you do it?

I do it quite often, unfortunately. And some of my friends find it hilarious

So I've decided to start recording me playing games that typically make me mad

Would you ever record yourself getting frustrated?

I do sometimes but it has to be at a part where i have NO idea what I'm doing XD and when i rage my brother or friends that are around think it's funny. might be the things i say lol

I only do it on games I'm not crazy about in the first place. If I love the game, I'll push through it. Might rage quit momentarily to take a breather, but it won't be particularly long.

I've honestly rage quit a lot of games.
Only because half the time I get lost or stuck and can't figure out where I'm going/ need to go so I give up angrily..
Friends will always find such things funny.
I know I do when I see someone do it

The last game I rage quit was Super Meat Boy I believe.
If you have ever played that I am sure you understand why. And I think that would be awesome to record myself getting angry at games.

Rage quitting is irrational behavior, and as such I tend to only do it on games with irrational mechanics. Games like Super Meat Boy, Castlevania, and Megaman are difficult, yeah, but their controls are tight and the challenge is at a fair (if high... or really really high) level. Games like that are satisfying to beat!

Games that AREN'T are ones that are stupidly or unfairly hard, either through stupid controls or mean/manipulative game design.

I can't think of TOO many examples of this, because I typically try to avoid stupid games, but one I've played in recent memory is Kirby's Epic Yarn. The UFO segments are extremely frustrating at higher levels, because the levels are designed such that they want you to have like an expert and super-precise control over the thing... But the UFO controls like a roller skater in a field of banana peels, sliding and bumping all over the place almost indiscriminately.

Furthermore, a lot of the levels in Epic Yarn have hidden goodies in segments where one or more of the following is true: 1) you can't go backwards on the segment, and/or 2) the goodies are usually in a spot you wouldn't think to go the first time. In other words, you're unlikely to get everything in one run on your first time, even if you're playing well (something that was done better in Kirby's Return to Dreamland, which I appreciated).

Kirby's Epic Yarn was a fun game, but there were a lot of parts where the difficulty level was more along the lines of cheap than challenging.
...so, er, yeah sometimes I ragequit it. (I'm not off-topic I swear)

I think I've only ever rage quit a game once and it's when I spent RL money on ammo for this game, only to crash/die in the game and be unable to find my items. An hour later, I was back playing it again though. XD

I did it alot on older games like Sonic Adventure. But lately I've controlled it.

I rage quit once on Lollipop Chainsaw.
Only because I'm absolutely terrible with combos. ;-;

Sonic Adventure is an OLDER game? o___O Cripes, I hope you never have to play any of the ACTUALLY old Sonic games, you wouldn't get anywhere at all.

You consider Sonic Adventure a newer game? And I have played them, and they were a nightmare.

It IS technically one of the 'newer Sonic' games, as in not 'Classic Sonic'. So it doesn't surprise me that they struck you as 'nightmares', because they're kind of not as good (the older 'new Sonic' games anyway)
