Do you get uneasy when you watch noobs play? (Watch as in in real life)

Not trying to be a jerk, but this is how i genuinely feel. Whenever i see a noob playing and he/she does something stupid, ihave the iresistable urge to snatch the controller out of their hands and play the game myself. Never actually did it of course.

Anyone feels the same way?

I feel the same way as you do, especially with my other half and some of my friends xD

Yeah I think everyone gets that feeling. Playing games is a very personal thing and when you watch someone and they do something in a way that you wouldn't it gets very frustrating.

I've just learned to let people get on without interruptions, they will learn one way or another.

I agree with you there (:

Nope, but if there's one thing that used to bother me, and still might, is when people would consider themselves good Street Fighter players, and use throw traps. Growing up and going to arcades it was a given that if the match was to be taken seriously, there would be a "no throws" exchange between the two people playing. I don't know if that exists anymore though. So, to answer your question, if someone happens to be exploiting something in a competitive game, I skip the uneasy part and more so want to sock them in the jaw.

I'm half and half on it. I only get annoyed when I'm watching someone get stuck at a point where the solution is painfully obvious but that person doesn't know what to do.

It's a thing I try to fight grabbing the controller away from them, mostly because I want to play, and part they have no clue. But generally I try to be tolerant and help. But when someone who just logically should know better doesnt listen to instructions from a more veteran player, then well... that irritates me. For instance, lots of people in White Knight Chronicles use longswords, but also use healing magic and buff themselves. My job as a healer/supporter is to keep you buffed and alive, YOU as the attacker just attack. Nope... every 15 seconds they just start recasting their buffs even though they didnt wear off. That irritates the crap out of me.

i don't get uneasy, but i really feel like just telling him what to do, but i don't ever do that. for example, at my friend's place, this one kid was talking about COD and how much fun it was to do on a certain drug (not weed, mind you) so i thought that meant he was good or something, but then he'd be walking around in close quarters using the Thumper, not getting kills.

I had a buddy who wasn't too smart, and I watched him play Braid for about a half-hour. It was brutal, because when somebody figured out the answer, he would tell them to shut-up because he wanted to do it himself.

You know, I wanna say no but sometimes I catch myself shaking my head at how bad they can be. I had a friend come over and introduced him to Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and had him do some of the easier missions, and I found myself getting a little upset that he was getting owned.

Yeah, I get so frustrated when I'm watching friends play. Its impossible for me to sit and watch and keep quiet.

People get frustrated with me when they watch me play tetris, because I will ONLY go for a tetris no matter what.

i play with this kid or noob which ever you prefer..

nazi zombies to be exact

i only get uneasy when noobs are horrible and they gloat like their absolutely fantastic....

(when he throws monkeys near our team and kills us all)

If someone else is playing a game i generally have to leave the room. What i hate worse than watching is when someone ( my GF for example ) asks me to do a particular part for them because they are stuck and then a milisecond after i finish they are complaining that they want the controller back.

Sometimes. I usually laugh at him/her to make myself feel better though.

I don't know any noobs irl. I only hang around hardcore gamers.

How fortunate. My little brother is playing Battle field BC2 right now, so im hiding in my room in the meantime.

I don't have a problem with this.. What does get to me, though, is when I am watching someone play a game (and at times, I enjoy doing this), and they are progressing at a painfully... slow... rate...and wander along, seeming to be way to laid back on the couch there, getting nothing done.

When my friends are noobs on it i try helping them but sometimes it just piss me off and i want to take the controller, but i don't...

But when my gf is playing i try to help her as much as i can trying to explain her what she doesn't understand, and even have to translate english most of times, cause she doesn't speak it. But hey it's my gf after all and i want her a pro too :P

Yeah...LOL...I get upset when my lady tries to play a fps and makes the game look like its soooo hard to control... then for me it feels like second nature!

I second you there. :)

You see, when I see a noob play and he does something stupid, I can't help but make a sarcastic, insulting comment. I never actually want to take the controller, but I just can't hold my tongue and the comment usually passes through my lips. Like when a guy tries to stick an infection form in Halo.

When I see a noob play and he uses some overpowered weapon in multiplayer, it kind of annoys me as well though I say nothing and kind of just watch. Especially watching my friends play Modern Warfare 2. My one friend, a total noob, uses akimbo shotguns every match, and still gets 7 kill streaks (not against me). It's really annoying.

Yes, its an odd feeling, I cant help but feel a certain way when im watching a friend or family member do something potentially horrid while playing. I try to give advice but it doesn't seem to help:(

I watched my uncle and my cousin play MW2 split screen, they both sucked especially my uncle who nevr played a game in his life or held a controller for that matter. I just laughed at how he couldn't even move his character, while my cousin is sniping him from every direction. For me its just funny how people mess up in games.

ME!

My friend came over and he was playing chapter 5. of uncharted 2. Seeing how I have memorized this whole chapter I just wanted to beat it for him in 2 minutes. He took 15 just to get to that chloe part. And if there were scoreboards I would be the highest for CH 5, 18 and 19. Mark my word.

Nope. The only thing that makes me cringe is when they get so frustrated with a game that their hand gestures start getting a bit erratic. At that point I just wait to see a controller go flying. Aside from that, why should I care? If they are enjoying themselves that's all that matters.

It doesn't make me queasy or uneasy, but I do get frustrated watching my friends play the start of a game and screw up at every possible thing. Like "where do I go?" as they wander around the same tiny room for five minutes. Or when they get shot down by the first enemy they come across.

Oh, God! I can't count how many times I've spectated someone playing in Counter-Strike (waiting for the round to end) and uttered phrases such as:

"Are you kidding me?"

"Oh, yea, that's real smart!"

"Oh, no, don't check that spot or anything! Even Iheard him run there and I'm not even playing!"

"Oh, no, don't watch the bomb or anyting. Just run around like an idiot so they can defuse, yea!"

i only feel that way if they are messing up my rank. but i usually don't care about them playing bad. i just laugh at their mistakes or noobness.
