| Was just playing Battlefield 3 (PC) with my friend. We're on a voice chat while playing. I always get aggravated when things don't go my way in a video game. Sometimes literally screaming like a little kid LOL. This used to happen a lot when I played Counter Strike professionally. I can never enjoy video games that's why I don't play them, they're more like a job to me than a game. Anyone else get like this? PS: I'm old, but it's an old habit and it's hard to shake off! |
 |
| Anyways no, because it's a game... and if i continuously die or the game isn't going my way, it means I'm shit at the game so I give up... Mod Edit: Removed quote of a deleted post. |

| You should play single-player game this way. No one can piss you off. |
| I like how a simple question is making everyone mad... if you enter a 'shitty thread' you are the only one to blame for actually clicking on it. Now to answer the question, like any sensible person should do rather than throwing out negative comments unrelated to the question... The game shouldn't make you aggravated, everyone is bound to have a bad game, it's how you handle it that determines how you play. Your mental state often affects how you play. There are a lot of people that don't know how to handle their anger, lashing out on teammates is always bad, because then you are making your teammates mad. Some people also don't understand that a team game requires team effort... simple, yet they still don't get it. Psychology can attribute to how well (or poor) you play and the outcome of your games. It's one thing I learned when I started ranking in LoL, my win rate is higher now, but I still have a lot to learn. There is an 'i' in TEAM... you can find it in the A-hole... got that off some youtube video |
 |
| Well, just don't play online/multi player games. There are always people who are dicks. The best games are the ones you play alone in a dark room with headphones on. :> |
| Never play Dark Souls then if you can't handle things going wrong |
| once you constantly lose and take it seriously it gets frustrating so thats why i rarely play online or multiplayer games |
| Nope, I often curses though, not in an intense, emotional way. My old CoD days. *bam!* (my character died from a sniper) "What the hell. Okay, fuck you who shoot me, stop being a camper or I'll put some knife on your butt." Yep, not mad at all. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |

| not really but on racing games i lean left to right with my controller. |

| My cousin does that, it's really annoying. I don't understand how someone can get so upset over a game. |

| Ever hear of Cyberathelete Professional League(CPL) or CEVO? Professional/career Counter-Strike players. We didn't do it for fun, we played in tournaments and traveled. |

Putting the word professional in something does not make it a profession or the people in it professionals, it's just that there are no regulations legally as to where 'professional' can be put into a label. Playing counter strike for money, tournaments or not, does not make you a professional. It means you played in tournaments with cash prizes. |

| You're allowed to have your opinion on it, but whether you like it or not Electronic Sports are considered a profession and have been for about 12 -15 years now. People making a living on this and I did for quite a few years. And to put a "eastern" spin on things, how bout those Starcraft II professional players in Korea? |

Sorry for hurting your video game playing pride though. |
|
| Well I "was" a professional gamer. Sorry to disappoint you. |
|
| Actally video games are my replacement for a punching bag. |
| "Efficiency is not king, efficacy is." Post a comment on my profile. Profile comments are fun. |
| They used to but now I simply turn it off, walk away, return when I calm down. How it is when I played Black Ops 2 but overall I have quit that game all together, maybe its just bad internet but often times I found myself saying "WTF" way to much....did have a nice little Konata picture though that I loved. xD My brother on the other hand, I have had to go into his room and turn the game off because he will not stop. He will get to the point of screaming and yelling even when he is leading the room (which is rare mind you), calling people idiots and mororns (he has no mic) yet you watch him run down the same route 3 times and get dropped 3 times. |
| I once shot a controller with a shotgun. Whats that say? |
| Early Megaman games make me homicidal. Still beat them all. But beating them should give some of you insight to my breaking point. |

| No. I might get frustrated at an annoying or overly hard boss on occasion, but those times are few and far between. |
| Depends on the game, but frustration is part of the pleasure in offline fighting game matches with your buddies. Rage so good. <3 |
| OP should play Unreal Tournament. I don't usually get mad when I die, but if I have a lot of health and armor and some bitch comes along with an OP weapon and knocks me down to 1 HP I just suicide. Goddamn combowhores. |

DON'T EVER REMIND ME! I remember playing UT2k3 at some tournament team CTF. It was that map with the two tall pyramids and a lake in the middle. I got lightning rifled right in the face. I don't think I've ever raged so hard. |

| No because it's only half of the reality you molded for yourself, if you lost it's your fault..... |

| video games make me mad sometimes, and I usually quit the game and play something I like if that happens sonic adventure 2 made me really mad |
 |
| yes alot :I mainly while playing LoL/Dota 2 with bunch of tards |
| Video games are the best thing ever after electricity. |
| I used to get angry while playing games until I took an >-----[> to the knee. |
| i don't know how many controllers for console games my brother broke when we were growing up |
| i get angry at fps games so i rarely if ever play them other than that games have never made me angry but then again im not an angry person in general |
| Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rheagar died. |
| Simple rules to avoid being angry while playing video games: - Use vocal chat only when necessary (playing/raiding with friends for example). - Turn off global/world chat in MMOs. These are usually as bad as 4chan. - Don't force yourself to play a game if you are tired/angry. - Don't force yourself to grind mobs when you don't want to. - Don't play a game that you don't have any interest in it. - Accept that you will lose, die, or fail sometimes. It's a game. You can win or lose. - And the most important rule: HAVE FUN. |
| I say fuck, shit, cunt, faggot and twat a lot when I keep failing a difficult challenge or something, but I'm only mad for that short moment and it's only during single player stuff. |
 |
| Depends on the game, I'll usually just curse a little and possibly punch whatever I'm sitting on. I won't slam a controller or throw it, I take care of my stuff. I'll also just turn off the game if I forget to save and I die or my console turns off. Just walk away, I'll feel like playing it tomorrow. |

Mclovinballs said: Yes a couple of times. I also accidentally started a new game over a save file yesterday. It was a shitty game, but I still spent a couple of hours playing it off and on before deleting it. Stupid xbox controller moves up for like 2 minutes after starting a game and accidentally moved it to start new game.Introverturtled said: I'll also just turn off the game if I forget to save and I die or my console turns off.

| I don't usually rage in single-player games since I can always save and try again as many times I want. However in multi-player games especially team oriented games I'm always prone to rage, I could never take them casually, I always approach them with a competitive mindset but that's what makes them fun, outplaying your opponent. |
