Post your ragequit stories

[Lunchlady Doris]

I occasinally play a bit of Magic on the xbox, boy is that a ragequit inducer. I have had many an abusive message, and 'U mad!' works a treat I'll tell you.

 

[Ed_Gein]

I don't get like violent or anything when I rage but I get filthy language and screaming and the like.

The worst one I've ever had was on Burnout 3 when you race the F1 car in the grand prix. It's the fastest car in the game but it's steering was a nightmare. There was no way you could avoid oncoming traffic. That and the pain-in-the-ass catchup glitch the game had got me in a filthy mood for three days. I haven't played it since. I've got Paradise though.

Oh, and on UFC 2009 when your opponent would throw an erratic high kick and knock you out despite having them down for most of the fight. That really sh*t me.

ahh the good ol rubber band effect. NFS most wanted has that. it's infuriating to see the indicator (or arrow) of an opponent on the HUD spin out which lets you know he's crashed or the like, you continue to drive the perfect race, but you let slip and clip a wall a little exiting a corner and he ends up right on your tail. man, they could take corners without braking if they are too far behind. it's for that reason makes me fail to understand why a few people think this was one of the better NFS games.

This is not so much of a rage quit story but a **** the ps3 as a whole in general it's really starting to ping me off, for starters the other night playin blackops It shits itself which is all good normally, so I reset it next thing I know it's corrupted the hard drive and all my saved games gone ****in gone. Seriously thinkin bout pulling the 360 out of the cupboard and putting my time back into that.
And after playing fallout new Vegas on ps3 with all it's bugs and shit there's no way I'm wasting my time trying to play skyrim on the ps3.

By the way I'm not hating, just saying that all..

The Fallout games are 2 of the buggiest games in history, on any system.

Skyrim will be using a new engine however, so you SHOULDN'T expect the same issues again.

Starcraft. My team-mate was hell bent on expanding and telling me to "cover him" told him to at least build a few units, he wouldnt, so i used all my men to attack his base, he started whinging and i told hhim to defend me with his army/

 

[And_ROOS]

Mario Kart Wii online, my mate and i end up in an online race with one other person, so we decide to team up and smash the sh*t out of him. 3 corners left we hit him with 4 red shells, my mate hits him with a blue shell and i put him off the track after hitting him with a star.

We laugh and expect him to ragequit as we finish 1st and 2nd by about 7 seconds or so.

Get to the results screen, and the little hacking **** has cheated and we finish 2nd and 3rd, he finishes first with a time of 1 second. Yup, 3 laps of this track (tree top track, cant remember its name) in 1 second. Havent played it since.

Just bought a PS3 recently in anticipation of the new AFL game.

Borrowed NBA2K10 off my cousin. Have played a heap of games... have won like 1 game. This seriously is a BS game. I had Steve Nash go a whole game without making a shot... even when he was wide open. Second game with him he didn't score until the 4th. Miss a tonne of layups no matter who I am. Lebron James can't even score unless its a dunk. Meanwhile, the AI scores at will, 3 pointer after 3 pointer. He's 4 points down with seconds to go... conveniently steals my inbounds twice, OT and then sinks 3s. Every other game, I get blown out early and basically can't reel back a deficit, or manage to do so and see a bunch of 3s hit to blow it out again.

Argh, rage quit!

Today playing Marvel vs Capcom 3 online, I got this little cheap bastard 3 times in a row.
He had the team of X-23, Super Skrull and Dr Doom, and just spammed moves over and over. With Dr Doom he just kept shooting me with a laser, and with Super Skrull he just kept doing this pulverise move. By the 3rd game I was pretty much screaming profanities at the tv, turned off my ps3, then turned off my tv.

One day i was playing Black Ops.
The end.

 

[cats2rise]

Special Cup, and in particular Rainbow Road on Super Nintendo on 150cc back in the day.

And you always had to start again from the first race to get that damn gold cup.

 

[Knighta21]

^^^ haha, yep.
And trying to do the shortcut on Rainbow Road and failing

 

[kaysee]

One day i was playing Black Ops.
The end.

Had a ragequit yesterday with Speedball2 on the iPhone.

One game left in my second season, undefeated at that point, 12 points ahead of 2nd place. The scoring is 10 points for a win and 1 point for every 10 points you score during the match. So I figure if I win, thats it, im undefeated and up into Division 1.

I win an unusually tight contest 18-12, thinking yesssss, undefeated, div 1 here we come. Get to the results page to see that second place had won their match 148-6, jumping me by 1 point in the standings, leaving me behind in Div 2 for another year, despite being the only team to go through undefeated. Let out a big 'YOU ****ING ****' whilst sitting next to the wife who was on the phone to her mother. Not happy.

 

[RoosterLad]

That killed me a few times as well Macca, sometimes they would rack up massive scores and it didn't matter if I won or not as their bonus points would far outweigh mine.

In my third season I did get promoted though and actually lost a game, the team I played last must have been tanking because I flogged them and got promoted so got a bit of revenge there.

Was Playing Flick Fishing on my ipod a while back, and reeling in a fish for over 40 minutes, then the line broke

the game cheated you so hard

This is the BEST thread in the video games forum, bar none. More a swearer than a violent ragequitter - a while ago I was one of the unfortunates to have been massively excited about the Fallout 3 Game of the Year edition. I don't know if the game was just too big for the PS3 to handle (with all the added missions like Operation Anchorage, Point Lookout, etc) but lockups and freezes were pretty common. Swore like a trooper. Lady next door's four year-old said his first 'c*nt' and she knew exactly where it came from.

Heh.

This is the BEST thread in the video games forum, bar none.

it is funny reading some of them again. My personal fav is this one:

I spat it last weekend with my 9 year old son who was laughing at me and calling me a noob because i was getting my arse handed to me on Call Of Duty.

Banned him from playing any games for a month.

An hour later, he was back on playing

The problem is these days I rage quit usually because of technical difficulties or the game goobering out, rather than frustration at my inability.

Although I did rage quit from BOPS the other day when for whatever reason I was experiencing insta-death when they would tag my little toe using a silenced famas from the other side of the map, but a slightly off centre shot gun blast to the face from me apparently wasn't good enough.

Another controller down.

Was playing Battlefield 3 at a mates place yesterday, doing the campaign. Just going through it, doing fine, and the whole time he is sitting there giving me shitty advice, thinking he is the champion of gaming. He even told me to push buttons in the interactive parts, even though it says on the screen what to push...
This guy is shit at most games btw, so his advice is useless.
I eventually told him to shut the **** up, stormed out, and drove home

People sitting there giving shitty advice is the worst thing possible though, so I stand by my actions.

 

[Benno_900]

The only time I ever really raged was playing FIFA11.

Playing some ****wit, who I admit was good, but the game was much more even than the scoreline suggested. He led 4-0 around the 75th min and paused the game a few times just to send abusive messages for no real reason.

The cocky **** started to pull useless tricks and then tried dribbling his way through with his keeper. Stole the ball off him twice and got it back to 4-2 by the 85th min.

Then he decided to defend seriously again, I managed to get another goal back in the 89th min and then passed my way through to score the equaliser right at the death (3 min stoppage time). I even paused the game before I had the shot to abuse him back.

Here I was thinking the whistle would go immediately and I'd forced ET but then the lucky prick launches a long ball in frustration and hits a volley that takes a huge deflection and goes in.

I just turned off the system and hurled the controller across the room.

 

[Dazb86]

Few days ago was at a mates place playing fifa. We had a tourney and after a match a mate threw his controller which hit another friend which turned into a mini fight/wrestling match on the ground.

 

[hayes]

I raged at Zombies once, threw the controller which bounced off the couch and hit a mate in the face. It was brilliant.

Basketball games need to bring the push button back like the Live games in the 90's. Definitely helps with rage.

 

[edgie]

Last time I had a rage quit was the final Shao Kahn fight in Mortal Kombat story mode. Had Gorro down to a bee's dick of health left, and he pulled out a ridiculous set of combos and ranged attacks, blocks my special moves, interceps my jumping attacks and charges me about a millisecond after I teleport away

A few close calls on Battlefield 3, but thats more due to a shitty team and I just leave cause they can't prioritise and work together properly
