RAGE QUIT!!!1!11!! >:(

[n00beffect]

The best Rage Quits always involve some property damage. May I ask what game you were playing that made you flip out like that?

And of course it's a bit embarrassing, they're ALWAYS embarrassing. That's why I opened up my OP with "I've done it, you've done it, we've ALL done it." No judging going on here, just a sharing of stories that, hopefully, we can all "look back and laugh on".

Worms World Party... yes, the Devil's spawn! Bloody wind, always blowing my rockets into my own worms, seriously like UGH!... Ok, ok, enough reminiscing; starting to get the fits again.

Ohhhhhhhh dude, the Worms game can bring out some pretty ragey rage quits.

"Yeah, 3 of my worms are already dead and I haven't even had a turn yet. That seems fair."

Tell me about it! or:

"Well, would you look at that, your worms are all positioned on/next to solid surfaces, with nothing explodable around them, while mine... Ha, well mine are all on floating barels in the water with a big sign on their heads saying 'seppuku my stupid ass'. Oh, what's that? The collectibles just happen to spawn on your turn. Well, that's just *dandy* I guess!"

I'm not 100% that "better" rage stories are good considering the interesting ones are going to involve a highly unnecessary lashing out in anger that's probably not very healthy but I know what you're going for. I hated myself [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/538.361147-So-very-angry] for doing this and have actually been much much better about it since realizing what an ass I'm making of myself but for your entertainment:

I was playing a match in FIFA 12. Someone at EA must be married to Cristiano Ronaldo because I swear to God that if he gets the ball, they'll get a goal no matter what. A shot from 50 yards out? GOAL! A cross with my big man in front of him? GOAL! Goalie boots it forward and Ronaldo dances past five of my guys? GOAL!

I could feel the rage building as goal after goal goes in. Finally, at 6-0, I threw my controller and shut my 360 down. A few chairs get punched and I'm pacing back and forth like a bull. One last kick...

I kick the garbage can, which flies into the bathroom. The plastic garbage can itself cracks and breaks. The can, while flying into the bathroom, hits the sliding door which shatters the wood around the magnetic strips that allows the door to close. The garbage can continues to fly and puts a large hole in the wall.

I'm really sorry, but this must be said...

GOAL!

Perhaps this would do too...

First time I ever rage quit was on Soviet Strike for the PSOne, the third campaign level (was about 11, maybe twelve at the time?). Just kept running out of fuel all the time and there was never any around that wasn't the other side of the map from me, surrounded by AAA, SAMs, an orgy of tanks or all of the above. Even worse were those damned SKAR rocket launchers. They'd just chew me up like I was nothing.
I never got past that level honestly (i.e. without cheats) until a few years ago when I dusted off the PSOne and had a crack at it. Beat it second try somehow. Guess I'm a better gamer nowadays? *shrugs*

Anything with multiplayer tends to cause a ragequit or at the very least a cooling off period every so often. You try to be sneaky and skirt around the edge of the map then you run into four or five guys and get owned in a millisecond. In World of Tanks that feeling can be worse due to matchmaker placing me in a light tank designed in the 30s, with less armour than an envelope and a gun that can't do shit in terms of damage nevermind penetration, against heavy tanks from the 50s with 100+mm guns and 200+mms of armour, typically sloped armour at that. If I'm not one shotted immediately, I'm tracked and have to wait for someone to finish me off. My only hope is to run and hide and maybe try for the other team's arty or lighter vehicles.

In terms of ragequiting because of bugs ingame, I'd say Fallout New Vegas was my worst experience of a game that was poorly designed. Even with patches, quests were broken, I got some really weird graphical glitches and freezes and even moments where my PS3 would just suddenly shut itself off and restart. It killed my interest in New Vegas dead. Which is a damned shame, because I actually liked it when it wasn't being weird with me, especially considering how much a fan of the ingame universe Fallout3 made me.

On a different note entirely, why does Bethesda only ever hire something like 3 voice actors per game? (exaggeration on my part, but that's how it feels)

The notorious spawn traps in Call of Duty 4 never failed to build the rage

I rage occasionally in multiplayer, but I correct myself quickly by taking a deep breath or just reminding myself that everyone dies in video games. It's also important to not let yourself get too sucked in to the game, otherwise you'll start taking it way too seriously and flipping your shit every time you die. I've never gone to the point where I break or throw objects, although I slammed my desk once when I was riding in a helicopter in Battlefield 3 and our pilot crashed into an oil tank in Operation Firestorm, killing all five of us. Also, I think this is the best video game rage ever on the internet:


Just look at all the holes in his room! I also love how he blames the keyboard and monitor for him messing up.

Got a friend like that :/ he blames everyone and everything else than himself for losing in a game.. its anoying as hell :/

Can't say I've ever broken something, but I have turned off the device or the game and walked away basically saying "fuk this shit right now". Mostly recently this is happening with DOTA 2 when it heavily upsets me to see my team squandering a huge advantage because they don't want to work as one and continually run around doing their own thing, after the other team has pulled together and is picking us off 5v1 or 5v2.

- holier-than-thou snip -

There always has to be that one guy, doesn't there...

Nah...

You guys are a dime a dozen.

I was almost wondering if I was the only one. And I know that nobody is ever the only one. Ditto on the no-rage thing. I'll give up if it's hard, but I'll come back. Hell if I let a game beat me unless it's a genre that I just don't play.

Back when CoD 4 was still "the game" many things were destroyed because of multiplayer.

At the moment I'm raging at Space Marine Multiplayer, mostly because of lag that always seems to favour the opponent. We're talking melee weapons with the range of a shotgun lag here. How I hate Assault/Raptors... Oh how very much I hate them.
Multiplayer really makes me a terrible person.

You're not the only one experiencing that bug, it's bad enough they give thunder hammers/demon mauls one hit K.O perks but when you're evading and you're getting annihilated at range by a chain sword it is unbearable.

I also hate being hit by rounds when I'm squarely round a corner, the lag in that game is just a joke at times.
