Video Game Raging = Personal Experiences

FPS games used to make me proper rage but that was when I had 6-8 hours a day to play them and took them way too seriously.

Nowadays I am pretty chill about them just because I have no expectation of being anything more than sort of OK at them.

EVE makes me rage when I lose ships due to people I am flying with.

I can whelp an ship into a gang solo and be pretty sanguine about losing it.
If you never fail you are not pushing yourself hard enough. At least it's a learning experience when you fail.

OTOH losing even cheap stuff because I am accidentally flying with stupid people annoys me a lot.

Much better to fly solo than with people I cannot count on. At least on my own I have a good idea what I am capable of.

I don't know what particular button it pushes but it definitely does something.

I used to rage a long time ago playing Quake 2 1v1. The best one was probably scrubbing my mouse so hard it ripped the Teflon feet off and burned the pad from the friction - you could actually smell it :D

I'm older and calmer now. Honest.

I hated it when they released expansions for GTA4, was so glad i made it to the end of the original story (even playing through about 3 more times) once i got the settings right it wasn't so laggy just had low framerates which were very noticable, but when the extra stories came out i was just like 'NO' NOT AGAIN! now if they released them for GTA:SA that would have been amazing!

laptops that cost £1700 make me rage :D

The £1700 laptop purchase was because my current account was overflowing with money at the time as I was underpaid for 8 months and got the extra money in one go. Well, that and I needed one anyway as I wouldn't be able use a desktop pc and consoles were also out of the question.

I've had it for over 2 years now and I probably wont replace it until the next generation of consoles are out as game requirements will take a bit of a jump then.

So my post isn't completely offtopic:

I don't play online with other people much because of my job, but when I did, I wasn't really bothered when I lost. What did bother me is when I lost when I knew I could have won, usually through a stupid mistake of some sort.

I get allot of "I was round the ****ing CORNER!!!!!" in BF3, though I have been trying to tone it down since the neighbour banged on the wall the other week. I play with headphones so they probably just heard random shouting, must have thought I was having an argument with myself.

lol, yeah i do that all the time , my neighbours must think im a right nutbar
 
The main cause of my rage comes from BF3, particuarly when spawning at a point which appears to be safe, only to spawn in somebodys line of sight and get immedatly killed. Also when morons use the AA tank and put it somewhere completly useless and fail to get over 100 points in 10 minutes!

rant over :)
 
Being spawn killed a couple of times in a row does my head in. Also racing games where I keep spinning can get me quite frustrated... Actually just failing a lot get's me frustrated... Don't get me wrong, I like a challenge, but dying or failing lots in a row just isn't fun.

That's true, its all about practice though. Or easier settings, whatever you feel like at the time.

Not that i raged a it but F1 2010 caused me a few problems, did a few races 5 times before i finished it. :)

BF3 seems to be a big winner here. Is it a problem with the game itself?

Ah that's true, some games one rages about because it's just so bugged...

I think BF3 is probably quite a big winner, because it's quite popular at the moment, so more people can experience the annoyance it may bring, from the various issues people are having.

WC3 used to get me so angry that I stopped playing it.

FIFA is definitely the number one rageful game for me but it's so good.

I love Online Pro Matches / Team Play but hate it when I get in good positions and ask for the ball but the player with the ball thinks they're Messi and doesn't pass it and then either gets tackled or shoots wildly. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

I also hate how I always can't seem to hold on to a win recently when doing 1v1.

[EDIT] I also hate playing against Barcelona or Real Madrid online. Be creative people!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that with me?. I rage a hell of a lot if I'm in skype call and I start losing in some BS way. It gets really bad. Freddie 583 knows what I am on about if he ever notices this thread.

Yeah particularly with you but in every game I seem to give it away.
 
I must say I've been raging a bit recently at firefox lagging while I'm trying to play Tetris Battle on facebook. That game requires pretty much instant input or you're going to be misplacing blocks everywhere!

Thats a huge problem too.

I had my uncle complaining today about lag on BF£ and he couldn't decide whether it was his internets fault, the wireless receiver or an issue with the game.

Just shoudln't be happening really. :)
 
i remember getting my ass kicked by cpu on tekken a while ago, all they do is juggle you, you don't even get a chance to get up whatsoever. in fact, any game that juggles our character like crazy just makes me wanna rage! e.g. soul caliber, tekken, maybe dead or alive, etc.

as for mw3 and bf3, yeah, i get the picture, i've seen a lot of bs there too.

of course, after many failures on a good but difficult to play game (e.g. wipeout pure) it would dissuade even the best of us to continue playing, lest we break the console in half.

I was playing someone in the OCuk FIFA league a couple of years ago and he was battering me. He had at least 20 shots on goal and had about six 1-on-1s with my keeper, but managed to fluff them all. My goalkeeper was on fire.

Second half, 85 minutes gone, I get my first chance of the match when he concedes a penalty. The ref brandishes a straight red card and I score the penalty. 1-0. Straight from kick-off, I manage to get the ball, waltz down the field and score. 2-0. And then the ref blows for full time. :p

He raged so hard, he flung the disc out of the window and quit the league. I felt very sorry for him.
 
I've ragequit Eve a couple of times after losing pimped ships to broken game mechanics ie. overview bug & lag. That **** left me angry for days

CSS i get angry at myself because I suck, but it's a much briefer spell which usually just involves shouting at the screen a bit then i'm good:)
