How easily do you get discouraged and rage quit a game? Do you have little patience or will you stubbornly tackle a wall of difficulty long after it has stopped being fun?

How easily do you get discouraged and rage quit a game? Do you have little patience or will you stubbornly tackle a wall of difficulty long after it has stopped being fun?
Never. I'm too stubborn. I might stop for a bit out of sheer irritation but I'll always come back after a little while and keep at it.
The last time this happened was against Sazh's Eidolon in XIII. I lost dozens of times until eventually i stopped and then came back later that night to beat it.
I will swear at the screen a lot at a hard part before finally quitting the game and abusing the case. I'll usually go back to it in a couple of days, unless the week is over and the review is done, then smurf that game.
I answered number two on the poll but that doesn't exactly sum it up. If the game is good enough to warrant my continued frustration I will stick with it, if it isn't then I won't play it anymore. I will usually rage quit at a certain point though, it is just 50/50 on whether I will come back to the game or not.
THe only games I rage quit in are FPS games or MMOs. I stopped raging in DayZ long ago. Way too many bugs to rage in that game. Counter Strike will piss me off to no end.
Now I think on this, I did a lot of this when I was younger. Especially to my poor N64 because I didn't just quit, every time I lost a wrestling match in WWF War Zone or whatever I'd get mad and just start smacking the console mercilessly or maybe yanking the cart out and throwing it across the room.
I had anger issues. I still do...just not so much against video games.
90% of our members won't know what are Reaganomics.
True but they might remember the Robot Chicken sketch with Joey Fatone and the TMNT that references it. ;)Quote:

I don't need to waste time playing something I don't enjoy, and I don't need the stressGoodbye, Dark Souls! You're not hard, you're cheap~ ....extremely cheap....

I will rage quit if its too hard. I can accept some level of difficulty but if every battle is like pulling teeth then no thank you. If the story is great I'll watch the rest on the youtubes
I absolutely hate dying in video games, so much so, that I will go so far to turn the console off or 'soft reset' just before the moment of death, so I don't have to watch through the game over or death sequence. If I'm too late to do that and my reflexes aren't quick enough, I still turn it off as soon as possible, and play another game for at least a week to block out the painful memory :p
I always avenge a death. It's almost as if I hold a grudge against the game for killing my friend.
I'll get annoyed if I die several times. I won't exactly rage but I'll get frustrated enough to stop playing for a while. A bit of a challenge is fine, but if it's so hard that it's almost impossible then I have no patience for that. If I really can't pass it, depending on what it is I might just quit and find out what happens somewhere else.
Dark Souls loved trolling people with this. Saving as you took the final hit, so when you re-load, you just immediately drop dead. No real hope of rescue there >.>Quote:
