I was playing Burnout on my PS2, and I almost beat it, I just had like 10 races to go, and I was on a pursuit level.. I hate pursuit.. I kept losing, I had to take the guy out in 1:00 and It takes me 30 seconds just to catch up to him, so I lost 300+ times.. When I get mad at games I flex my controller, and when I got mad here, I just broke it right in half. Good thing I've got 2.. I beat the stupid pursuit BTW...

What's the maddest you've gotten at a game, and what happened?

My friend threw his PS2 through the wall (literally through the wall), thats the worst I've seen.. I was laughing my ass off when he did, too.
 
I can get into some anger problems if I play a game that i've failed something on too much. My face gets all red and I grit my teeth, shouting obscenities to the computer/console. Occasionally something gets slammed, but it never ventures away from the console/computer.

I don't find somebody to murder or anything. At least... not anymore.

:shh:
 
Everytime I have a bad day in CSS I get mad, but I can control it now. My freakouts have recently been reduced to me yelling obscenities.
I used to slam the cd drive door of my computer, kick my computer, slam my mouse and keyboard, and throw thingd that had the misfortune of being on my desk. Surprisingly I've never broken anything, except a mouse one time.
 
There have been many times I have had to stop myslelf throwing the controller/moniter at the wall.
 
Well it happened whyle playing COD2. After going through most of a mission with the end in sight, I just came to a spot where I kept getting killed by enemy soldiers so I used quick save a lot. The thing is I finaly managed to get through that tough spot, but just then I quick saved about 2 seconds before I received a head shot! That made me so mad that I started yelling at the PC and hit it violently. I'm surprised it still worked after that incident.:p
 
Want the best advice for this situation? Take a break from the game.

It works. You'll come back to that insanely hard part, and beat it on your first or second try when returning. I've done it sooo many times.

Yeah that's how it usually goes for me.

Any one else get PISSED off at the last mission of Black? Took me two hours to beat that, I swear. I took a break for about 20 minutes and came back. I beat it in about five tries after that.
 
Oh yea.. I forgot the swearing at my PSP... I lay in bed and play it before I go to bed sometimes, same thing with Burnout and the damn pursuit, I don't slam my PSP, even in a fit of rage I still know that it's really valuable. I've ripped my pillow in half while swearing at it :p.

Also all the walkthroughs for Commandos games say not to get furious/frustrated, but I've never got mad at Commandos :\

I've done the "taking a break" thing on games, but I realised that it makes it worse.. When you keep playing you develop new strategies and remember them, but you can't remember anything when you take a break, well for me anyways.. Taking breaks makes me worse at games..

First Person Shooters never get me really mad.. I usually say "Shit" for "F***" under my breath when I die.. that's it, though.. mostly racing games piss me off.
 
I've probably broken 6 controllers during my time with console games.

I had a nasty habit of kicking the shit out of my computer tower and screaming/insanely laughing when I got pissed off at a game, slowdown, or things simply not working right.

The worst was right before last Thanksgiving when my computer just froze up on me in the middle of an AB match in WoW. I flipped out, picked up my laptop, and threw it across the room against the wall. Everything survived except the hard drive. I lost all my files, which means all my MP3s, all my song projects, all my pictures, all my games, all my numbers, and last but not least, all my porn.

I had to take it to the shop and get it replaced. Went without my computer for an entire week because they were putting every obstacle in my way to keep it from being their problem. I was lucky though, since I managed to pass it off as a defective drive and got it replaced for free.

I've found I have this tendency to shout extremely vile racist things to the computer, which is not only stupid, but surprising and unsettling since it's not really in my nature. I won't repeat them here though.

I used to save a load in Hidden and Dangerous. At one point I threw a grenade into a room. When it exploded I waited a few seconds to make sure everything was OK. I then saved, 2 seconds after I save "Mission failed, you blowed up the civilians"

Really REALLY pissed me off.

Let me take a wild guess. The very last part with the guys carrying M249's swarming you. Hate that ****ing mission. The angriest I've gotten is while playing HL2. I accidently quick saved during the battle with the Striders in the courtyard, with only 2 hp left. I threw my mouse at the screen.
 
I usually just swear at the computer if something angers me.

I'm really not a violent person.
 
I once threw my mouse across the room after the 50th (this is not a joke) try to fly the airplane through the hoops (training mission). My nephew then finished it for me.

I also once broke a wooden desk in two by slamming the shit out of it after dying an n-th time on SWAT4. Too bad my computer was on it :| I also couldn't play for a week because my hands were so painful.
 
Most I usually do is slam my fist on the table and shout stuff at the computer...sometimes I'll just say f*ck this and pull the plug out of the wall and walk off.

The worst I've eeever done was probably throwing a chair across the room...
 
The worst I've done is stamp my foot and swear. I would get angrier practicing the piano- I'd kick it, pound on it, etc.
 
I think the worst I've gotten is with the Drivers from the PS1. Very good and very hard games. I've thrown controllers at walls, slammed them into the ground, and punched my metal bed and immediately regretted it. Of course that was when I was younger. Now I usually just usually yell something along the lines of "JESUS ****ING CHRIST" when I get really frustrated. Would probably be better to just turn the game off at that point ...

Also, this isn't out of anger, but I think I hold the controller too hard. When I'm playing a game for awhile and I get to a hard part, I start to notice that the controller is slightly bending and making noises like it's fixing to break.

god damn ****** crashed on me.:LOL:



Attension:This was a joke.
 
I’ve smashed a keyboard when trying to connect into Planetside, not fun trying to explain that to my brother.

Playing Flatout on the PS2... goddamn I hate that ****ing game, thrown the controller numerous of times across the room.

Countless of times when playing Battlefield 1942 and BF2, seriously these two games would make Chuck Norris cry. I can't remember how many times I've shouted some sort of language which shouldn't be mentioned here. Every time I start up the game I feel the blood pressure rising dangerously high.
 
I'm sure, if anything, my sister gets pissed off more than I do because I'm usually yelling ''SINCE WHEN IS THE IRAQ AK47 THAT ACCURATE?!'', ''No, just no. **** off, nobhead'' and ''Man, the sniper [Halo 2] is so horrible, slow and un-accurate that it hurts'' as her room is across the landing from
mine.

So just getting abit heated, really. A few swear words, but the only games I play online are Halo 2 and BF2:MC. Halo 2 is really the only game that annoys me because of the dumbasses that play it.
 
I don't get mad at my computer.... I might yell at it once in a while when I'm doing the same thing for the 25th time and I simply can't beat it.
 
Either NS or WoW, WoW isn't rage causing itself but my computer freezes up whenever I start to do Warsong Gulch or Arathi Basin.

The next minute a gnome ****ing kills me and does it's dirty dance on my bovine corpse.

Bah!
 
I once killed a man and his family after losing on Polar Express for PS2.

Also, after I mispelled 'cat' with the letter 'K' in JumpStart Advanced 2003 Kindergarten for PC, I stuffed dynamite into my high end PC and blew it up.
 
When I was about six or seven, I beat the crap out of my baby brother because I didn't beat bowser in Mario. Then again, I was six or seven.

I have to say that Metroid Prime 2 is the last game that made me really really angry.

But finally, getting ganked in WoW over and over by some idiot Rogue 10+ levels higher than you is one of the most frustrating things on earth, especially when they emote laugh at you :(.
 
Got mad at Starcraft *lost on bnet..* and kicked my dads computer...it shut off.

I was freaking out. I thought I broke MY DADS COMPUTER!

I turned it off, unplugged it, made sure everything was connected *note that I was ilke 14 and had NO idea hwo to fix a computer...* and turned it on, it worked..I never kicked a computer again.
 
I've been getting really mad at guitar hero because I can't beat "texas flood" on expert mode.
 
Mostly Burnout 3, when I was trying to nail the really hard races/time trials/crashes towards the end. Some of them were totally unforgiving, and took me gawdamn forever... but I realised that me getting hot-headed wasn't helping, so I made myself go get a drink and cool off every time I started yelling. One grand prix I think took me the better part of a night cause I paused it so many times inbetween (and during) races :p

Then there was the end boss on Dead or Alive 4... anyone who's been there knows my pain. I was stringing together far more impressive cuss-combos than anything I could pull off in the game >_>
 
i was getting really frustrated when Company of Heroes beta first came out, because it was HORRIBLY buggy and crashed all the time and had connection problems out the wazoo. i'd get pissed and just start throwing all sorts of bad language at the computer
 
I think one time... fairly recently... I cried. I just cried, while playing Ninja Gaiden on Xbox. Once you get to the horseman in the second level, I just could not for the life of me beat that guy. After a good three hours, I just stopped and cried for a few minutes. Returned the rental the next day.

Aside from that... I can't really recall getting physically or emotionally angry at a videogame. Sometimes I'll get irritated or frustrated at something (i.e. retrying a mission a redundant number of times, or experiencing some of the more colourful bugs in BF2), but I can pass the frustration off rather easily nowadays. And if I ever get close to an outburst, just telling myself things like "Who cares if I lost the match, my k/d ratio was 1:1.5, I'm still better than hundreds of thousands of other people, and it was still a fun match" can really cool me down.
 
^That's actually pretty funny that you cried.

Most of my frustration comes from stealth games. Especially the ones where you get caught and you have to start the entire level over. All I do is slam my fist down on the arm rest padding on my chair, nothing major.

And playing BF2 against the dolphin divers. That gets me heated in a second.
 
I remember actually crying over Dinopark Tycoon. Granted it must have been 1st or 2nd grade, but still. I had a very nice park running with all of the dinosaur pens filled, all of the misc concessions stands, and $250,000+. Then, I saved the game during an auction. Little did I know that this caused a bug, leaving me in a loop and unable to leave once I loaded. That perfect park, gone in an instant.
 
I beat up my friend when he beat me in Smash Bros (he was laughing while i was smacking him) but I wasn't joking. But at the time I was on Accutane and he realized it so he didn't hold it against me.
 
So this time I wanted to play Unreal Tournament, but you know what? Das verdammte spiel wollen nicht starten!!!!

;(
 
I shout the odd obscenity, mainly whilst playing CSS, but never anything physical.
 
BF2 is the only game that gets me beyond frustrated. I absolutely hate when I play well and my team is full of hopeless noobs. I get extremely mad far too often with that game. When a noob medic keeps reviving me over and over around a corner while I get killed over and over I literally blow my lid. I bang my fists on the desk and yell out swearing.

I'm not normally like that, been playing cs, tribes, quake 3, diablo and everything else since the beginning when I sucked and died lots but BF2 is the only game that twists my nutsack and crunches my testicles with a sledgehammer.
 
The worst I get is in CS. When I die I sigh alot.. but then I eat spam and jam and ham alot, which cheers me up.

Haha, Ninja Gaiden is awesome that way. It's a frickin hard game, especially the bosses, and there's definitely a learning curve involved. But once you get past the hair-pulling and controller-bashing and get a feel for the controls, it's really intuitive. You totally get out of the game what you put in skill-wise... for example, I had serious trouble on that same boss my first time through. But just recently I started a new game on the 360 and minced him first time without losing a smidgeon of health :)

If you think it's your kind of game, stick at it for awhile and eventually you'll get results, and it does become really enjoyable (but still consistently challenging... I can't promise you won't be getting teary again). Oh, and the secret to that boss is to block his attacks and just take out the other enemies (get to know their attacks too, how to dodge their magic, and when to strike them). They only respawn a certain amount of times, then you can just focus on the horse dude, who isn't all that hard on his own.

Oh, and uhh, on-topic, definitely had some frustrating moments with Ninja Gaiden too. The demon boss in the cathedral (the sister of the busty bondage chick) took me like 30 attempts before I finally nailed it, and the cusses were flying like ninja stars. You really have to get the fights down to a fine art @_@

Edit - Oh yeah, also I was very close to tears a couple of times on the final boss of DOA4, which I've already mentioned. But that's not just cause she's tough, that's cause she's a f*cking hax :frown:
 
I remember Shinobi on the Mega Drive. I could only ever beat the first boss by suiciding most of lives (you explode when you suicide). Other bossses I didn't have so many problems against.

Looooooooooooooooove Ninja Gaiden. First time i played it i actually, entirely, broke my Xbox controller. I mean the whole thing flew apart and i could actually see the little board and the wires and shit. Put together again using a very tiny screwdriver but the rumble.....the rumble is dead....

Once you get used to the moves of the enemies and shit, it becomes a lot easier. Still its nowhere near easy but anyway.

Ninja Gaiden Black on the otherhand, is ridiculous. Every boss fight now has more enemies in them. Like you'll face the boss, but there's always two other enemies bouncing around trying to slice you up as well. Oh and Black Spider Ninjas on the first ****ing level. Yeah....Team Ninja don't want you to have fun in that game.
 
Only really get pissed with BF2 and then i just swear shitloads over VOIP/TS/thin air

If am really getting pissed off i just quit and put on some fukin heavy Metallica tune!
