Some people really get pent up over losing. I admit it can be frustrating, but at the same time, I just remind myself it's just a game. But I've noticed that there are people who start yelling and shit when things don't go there way. Are you one of those people, SW? I don't have a mic so you won't be able to hear me cursing anyway lol.
No. I become terrible if I don't play for a while. So I know thats the reason behind my terrible score. If I play a couple hours a day for a week. I'll get to the top 3 of tdm constantly.
Abit. It sucks when someone completely destroyed you in a game. But those up and downs are what make it fun and help encourage you to learn the mechanics. If you were just winning there would be no fulfillment and therefor no point.
I get worked up for sure because I am so in to it. However, it is not so much the losing, but the moment to moment things that get me fired up. Things that are out of my control like getting killed by some random sniper in Battlefield is annoying. I fucking hate snipers. Playing with idiots on my team doesn't make me happy either. hehe :)
I get annoyed like the next person if I lose hard all the time, but I'm generally a good loser. I enjoy all matches that are balanced even if I lose. I don't throw tantrums.
Yeah. I'm a bitch... I don't like the way Competetive MP games make me feel. Like I'm trying to jump into a constantly moving machine and I'm trying to simply eek out drops fun....
I have to say though that Splatoon is the anti Competetive shooter, shooter.... I only have fun painting floors.
Only when I play RL and I get ball chasers on my team. Any other game I don’t mind losing RL is different because you have to rely on your team, I’d rather have someone who constantly whiffs than a ball chaser who’s constantly fighting their own team for the ball.
No never, I might get upset at myself if I know I made a stupid mistake, or if there is lag for example, but I don't get upset when I lose I just try to understand why I lost and how I can improve.
This is likely a mindset I had from playing a lot of competitive Street Fighter when younger, and losing is definitely part of the game.....in fact I probably lost more than I would win overall. I play games for entertainment, not to get upset. When I play PVP I play to win but Its just a videogame at the end of the day and there is a ton of great talent out there. I try to learn from the best an improve my game.
If I keep losing because the game is badly designed, then I wont play that game. Not all games are well designed with balance and such.
I can be sometimes, which is why I don't really play online. I just don't have the advantage of being online all the time perfecting my skills, so I don't bother. That's why I'm primarily a single player.
Unrelelated note, I don't really game online much if at all XD
Ihave a temper more for when I'm playing football or soccer irl. Someone messes up doing something dumb, I get very angry.
When I was younger though, my bed had a wooden frame extending out a bit....and i kicked it so many times a big chunk of wood broke off. I also turned my tv purple from kicking it watching a Redskin game lol.
OK i guess i will be the first to admit it. I do get pissed but don't take it out on anyone or thing. But i will bitch about it.
Actually why I don't play COD any more. If I am new I don't want to play against someone that has been p[laying for months ahead of me. But these lil bastards that start new profiles just to dominate the noobs and it kills all the fun for someone just trying to learn the game and maps.
That and with some of these Multi player gamers that is literally all they play for months if not years. I go through at least 12 or more games a year, don't have time for all that. I do get pretty hooked on Gears though, and can hold my own.
Very rarely and the last time was playing Mario Kart Wii online and was frustrated that I was unable to compete than I violently threw my Wii Remote and then decided to drive backward while the race is still on. That was more than ten years ago when I first played the game. Never had a "sore" loser experience since.
Nah, used to get really mad and frustrated when I was younger when a game wasn't going my way. Nowadays I'm not so tightly strung. When I do find myself getting frustrated or when the game stops being fun I just stop playing instead of trying to persevere. I reckon if you're not having fun playing a video game, you're just wasting time.
?TC must have had a hell of a gaming session last night?
lol, I admit this thread was inspired by a match I had in Apex Legends. My teammate kept bitching about how he couldn't find a shotgun, and when we lost, he went off about how we could've won if he had one, lol. I was like give me a break.
I get pretty mad these days, but not when I get beat legitimately. There are way too many cheaters on consoles now, with all the mouse users, sim apex, cronus max, etc. That said, when I get beat I get beat and I move on, sometimes you just get outplayed. I truly cannot understand why someone would put themselves at an unfair advantage though. That would take all the fun out of the win for me personally. It's not hard to tell in a game like Rocket League or an online shooter who is using these devices while on a console. They are the ones with 15 kills with 14 headshot kills or 1,400 points and 8 areal goals... lol
Yes. As someone who plays For Honor regularly there have been many times where I would send hate messages to my opponent after I lost resulting in atleast 2 communication bans on xbox live.
I used to get really mad and smash controllers because of stupid shit like usually the other team being really, really good. You can only play an online MP game for so long before you hit that brick wall and find that game after game you just keep facing gamers that do this shit every hour of every day. Then I got a full-time job a few years back and when I would go on Rocket League or Overwatch for some matches and lose, I'd just go "whatever, I had some fun anyway" and move on, while the other gamers in the chat would talk shit to each other back and forth.
Now I don't even play online MP games anymore. Got tired of the spawn, kill, die, repeat grind. I'd rather be immersed in The Witcher 3 or hell, even Fallout 4 or Skyrim with mods than go through the routine bullshit of online multiplayer.
