Gears Of War three months ago. The last boss can't be defeated. And those god damned Kryll...

I tried ragequitting that one game, but I failed at that too.

@Lizard Bite: ...OH FUCK YOU.

Lizard Bite: You're doing it wrong.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Why do you care that you've lost? I've lost. It's not even the first game I've lost.

Comix Zone, just a few minutes ago. Fuck that game.

@Stark: Use a Dodgy Cape/Syrup or Flurrie's Fog ability to make it so less of his audience projectiles hit. Or wear defense-upping/HP-upping badges.

@Pacific: Yes, there is an easier way. Bribe one of the other prisoners and he'll give you the keys to get into a vault with 1, 000, 000 Rubees in it. Takes much less time.

Anyway: Mario Party. It was a team game. It was the last five turns, and the computer landed on Chance Time and royally screwed me and my teammate over. There was zero time to recover. I nearly punted my controller.

FFFUUUUU-

I Wanna Be The Guy. Yes, I realised that was the point but go to hell, game. You're just impossible. At least, for my skill levels in platform gaming.

catch the sun: That is not a game. That is an exercise in masochism.

10 minutes into Brütal Legend. Noisy worm thing, something about a door, no hints given plus whiny bitch.... fuck that shit. Not really a rage quit, just handed the controller back to my friend.

Metroid Prime 2, when I lost at the end of the game during the godforsaken escape from the planet after killing the godforsaken boss and the godforsaken controls didn't work and I died because time ran out AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGG- GGGGGGHHHHHHH!

So. There's a silver Gamecube controller in my home with a massive scuff in the side. Want to guess where that came from?

Oh, hey, that was the part in the demo that got me stuck for like, half the time I played it! Yeah I'm not too sure how I felt about that, because I feel if it had told you what to do it would've felt patronizing, but since it didn't, it left me completely baffled.

It's that ground-shaking move you have to do.

Oh yes, the original Mario Party. All the repressed memories are coming back now. I blame the skateboarding minigames for my N64 control stick's demise.

I keep hearing about Mario Kart provoking incredible bouts of frustration, but it's never made me very angry. Mario Party has no excuse.

Yeah. Said friend had it figured out in 5 seconds after I handed back the controller...

I guess I suffer from Complacent Gaming Syndrome sometimes

It's true, the girl really isn't all that helpful. "Can't you do something?!" "Knock those things down!" ...Okay. I'm sorry, that wasn't quite vague enough. Could you possibly be a little less specific?

Really? I blame the shyguy in the shop. Me and my brother were very annoyed that we didn't get anything after reaching 50.

Whenever something goes wrong in my life, I always blame the Shy Guy in the shop in Mario Party.

Battle Garegga. I normally can make it to the stage 3 boss, if not to stage 4. Today, I can't get past stage 3.

That'll teach me to play non-Touhou shmups, I guess. >:

I Wanna Be The Guy, at several points during my first play-through. Especially the moving spike hallway in the Ghosts And Goblins area. I ended up ragequitting permanently near the end of my attempt to beat the game on Very Hard, because I couldn't get past the damn minecart ride in one go.

Nice avatar!

I can't get angry with IWBTG because I expect it to be impossible and I know that my deaths are due to my own mistakes. Things like the pokemon TCG for the Game Boy, to use a recent example, do infuriate me regularly because they have just the right mixture of luck and skill-based gameplay to make you think you have a chance while laughing in the face of your preparation.

Ninja Gaiden. Gave up on that one for a couple of months after losing a bunch of times against Alma (1st battle). Came back to it only to quit again after getting lost in the sewers level.

More recently, Red Alert 3. I recently set up a skirmish against a normal Soviet comp (I hadn't played it for a while, and wanted to just warm up again), only to get rushed and lose three times in a row. It pretty much turned me off to the game entirely.

When I was twelve, I ragequit Metroid Prime. A few years later, I borrowed a copy from a friend and completed it. I felt like such an idiot for skipping out on such a great game.

I also ragequit Viewtiful Joe. It was a fun game, yes, but I was getting frustrated because I kept dying. I also felt that I had little incentive to keep going, since I could barely understand the voice acting and I did not see a subtitle option.

Final Fantasy XII was another one. I got really annoyed with the need for Level Grinding. This is a shame, since I was genuinely interested in the game's plot and setting.

I almost ragequit Metal Gear Solid 2 last night during the big Metal Gear RAY fight scene, but I looked an Game Faqs and found that I only need to destroy five or six of them to continue. Thank god.

It's not really a ragequit, since I keep replaying the game, but I refuse to replay the tunnel sequence from Ace Combat 5.

So on my replays, I just play until I hit that mission ("Aces"), then start a New Game Plus on that save.
