To answer your question, I find that most gamers who are angry are usually in the 15-21 age group. Just a moment playing online in Gears, Halo, Rainbow pretty much proves this as fact.
Being that I'm 31, I decide to be patient with them and hope that as time goes by, they'll eventually mature into decent people.
I am a little bit. Only on games such as COD3 on veteran! It is making me just want to break my 360!!! COD2 on veteran to me was easy.imakillaholicLOL. What a topic. I aint so much an 'Angry Gamer', but I only get annoyed if my wirless don't react when I press a button, like a few times I've had about a 3 sec delay, and I be dead or crashes or something, then I get annoyed and have to buy a new pad, cause I smash the other one lol.
Only in rare circumstances. Like a couple nights ago when during a laggy round of RB6V coop terrorist hunt, I had unloaded several UMP45 rounds into a terrorists face and yet somehow, he didn't die and proceeded to kill me with his SPAS.
Or like when I was playing team sharpshooter in LVU campus and a group of idiotic, pre-pubescent 12 year olds spawn killed my team for a full 20 minutes and then at the end of the match had the balls to say "you guys got pwned!!" , in their annoying high voices.
Things like that turn me into an angry gamer.
Depends on the game. NBA Jam back in the day used to make me mad with the 'fair play' programming that always kept the games close and would cause me to lose to 3/4 to full court 3 pointers at the buzzer. The lag in Gears angered me so I quit playing. Sloppy controls on a game I was enjoying can get to me. In terms of yelling or shattering a controller: NBA Jam - I used to yell. FIFA: 06 WC: Broke controller and had to patch a wall doing 1 of the challenges (I was drinking though). Street Fighter EX A: Fighting Akuma I destroyed a controller.
LOL...I had real problems when I fell out of gaming for 2 years and started again. After I started again I got the original XBOX in late '01 and pummeled a couple controllers at the time. I had alot of pent up aggression from the military.
Since then I've calmed down alot. I've only broken 1 360 controller and now just turn a game off instead of yelling or whatever. I was tired of making myself look like an a$$. The FIFA one was last year and was the final wake up call I needed.
O man....takes a lot to wind me up, but when the BASTARD CHEATING AI on the hardest difficulty in Pro Evo 6 starts cheating (ie magically ghosting through my tackles and scoring all their goals with rebounds, or passing faster than realistically feasible, or shooting and scoring from totally impossible angles, or fouling and not getting called on it, or...blah blah)...Lucky those controllers are wireless or my xbox could have followed one of mine off the balcony the other day (j/k). I don't mind losing if it's my mistake, I can learn from that, cheating AI seriously pisses me off though, I'm getting angry now just thinking about it.foxy42
I'm with you in that on just about any game. For instance in COD2 on Veteran even though your teammates are in a line in front of you and they are all shooting at the Germans and I go to peak my head up and every single German focuses on me. Yeah that makes sense.Â
Besides A.I. I don't get mad while playing online against people. I do get irritated and actually quit but other then that I don't call anybody names.
