    Angry RAGE QUIT!!!!!!!

    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.

    True but they might remember the Robot Chicken sketch with Joey Fatone and the TMNT that references it.

    Definitely the "It's cheap, and I'm done" option. Used to be the "Beating this crap on principle" option. But even then I wasn't guaranteed to persevereDon't have time for that kind of outlook anymore. I don't play video games enough as it is. 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

    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 >.>
