Gamer Rage - Does It Exist?

I say hell yes. I'm the most passive person, and though I don't get pissed at games often there are a few that make me rage.

CoD4 multiplayer tends to make me want to kill things. I don't know about other people, but the way the game handles online synchronization sucks sometimes. I'll shoot a mess of rounds at someone point blank, yet I'll die and the death replay doesn't show me shooting a single bullet, let alone hitting him. I sometimes try to rip my XB360 controller in half, to no avail... yet.:roll:

Oh, and Ninja Gaiden Black made me throw a water bottle across the room and put a small hole in my wall. Freakin biotch of a camera angle, especially with hordes of enemies. But beating that game was ridiculously satisfying. :twisted:

Anyone else?

Same as u man, Cod4 is just plain rediculous when it comes to lag sometimes its pretty much the only game where i wanted to destory the console, instead i just broke my wireless mic than the controller than the disc, i didnt buy it straight away again i just got it a couple of weeks back and i got the first copy from launch but i dont really care that much about it anymore to get angry as im not really that into it and besides ive come to terms with my gamer rage ill shout the odd cus word and shake my head but other than that who gives, The only thing that will bring me back to me wanting to destroy my gaming stuff is if i lost a saved file and lost 50+ hrs of gaming time.

I have personally witnessed many a control get thrown into a system or a tv with full on rage! Peaceful teddy-bears can become raging maniacs with a lust to destroy when owned in a game. This tantrum usually only lasts a few moments, but the console and\or the game can suffer serious damage. I am surprised companies haven't started making nerf-like soft systems to protect them from the abuse of a sad loser!!!

Getting spawn killed on a random FPS game, getting cheesed on a sport game and my PC or 360 freezing are the things that makes me angry :)

I don't rage much on Online games, use to hit my desk alot on FPS's but I just sigh loudly or type something random now.

I remember trying to destroy Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 with a PS1 controller, forget why. Only cracked it abit and had a few tiny bits of the inner disc missing. Taped it up and it suprisingly worked. Good ol' DIY.

haha single player fighter games usually make my blood boil. Playing against perfect AI computer opponents is stupid. DBZ and Soul Calibur are two big time offenders for me(cuz i play them the most). DBZ games even though they let you set the AI in an options menu the game definately upgrades the AI as you play through a tournament or story. Even though you have it on easy the damn opponents instantly get back to their feet, dodge all your power shots.._AbBaNdOn

The button mini game in Budakai 3 made me want to pull my hair out. I know everyone likes to say the computer cheats, but its true in this game. If you select your button (in the mini game) before the computer does, you always lose. Plus being forced into the Dragon Rushes when I was clear on the other side of the screen drove me insane, sometimes 3 or 4 back to back.

I used to be really bad, over the years Ive learned out to control my temper and not act out as I used to. I still cuss and swear at the TV, sometimes I start yelling. My last outburst was playing The Force Unleashed, I foolishly tried to clear the opening room of the last level. Anyone who has played the game knows its suicide to try. I actually broke my controller, in the stupidest way too. I tossed it on the couch where it bounced around. However you know the mid jack on the 360 controller? A piece of the copper connector came out which caused the 360 to not recognize it.

The only other game thing thats been semi recent that made me lose it was the timed spike trap room in God of War.

cod4 makes me angry because I get killed by the same air strike twice.gusfacer

I know! And what's even worse is when you get spawned right in front of the person that just killed you. He's like "Welcome back, bloke." and pop, you dead.
