History UnstoppableRage / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' features a literal example of unstoppable rage: Tret the holy tree was rightfully pissed off when the people of Kolima village started cutting down trees, especially considering the lumberjacks also tried to cut him down, severely wounding him. However, his anger reached truly uncontrollable levels when Psynergy stones started falling from the sky. Their powers amplified his anger to a point that he didn't even have control over his own actions anymore, and he started [[BalefulPolymorph turning all the people in Kolima into trees]], wanting to spread the curse around as much as he could, and [[TakingYouWithMe leave them to wither and die like he was about to]]. After Isaac and his friends kick his ass, Tret returns to his senses.

* Happens before the plot of ''VideoGame/{{Drakengard}}'', so the protagonist is in almost a constant state of Unstoppable Rage throughout the game. His rage abates by the time any of the endings roll around, but hey, [[KillEmAll most of the people are dead anyway.]]

** Late in the game, Asura has become so unthinkingly, unstoppably pissed off that Yasha realizes the only way to calm him down is to ''kill him''. [[EscapedFromHell They've killed him three times already and he just keeps coming back]] [[{{Determinator}} faster each time]], so this isn't quite as extreme as it sounds.

** Of note, however, is that in spite of Asura's wrath being a terrifying and unstoppable force, he is at the same time not a '''mindless''' force. Even when completely lost within his own sheer, violent, supreme hatred, Asura still refrains from harming innocents and noncombatants. But anything he perceives as an enemy -- such as the Gohma or the Seven Deities and their soldiers -- are targets.

* In ''VideoGame/AmericanMcGeesAlice'', Alice can find Rage Boxes, which represent her anger over the death of her family; if she uses one, she howls in pain, her skin turns blood red, horns grow on her forehead, spurs grow from her back, and her hands turn into horrid claws - for a limited time. In game terms, this is a PowerUp that makes Alice do more damage to enemies, and requires her to spend less mana points for her attacks. (Most of the time, there's only one Rage Box per level, and sometimes there is none; the player can save them for when they are needed.)

** ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'' uses this as a gameplay mechanic: when Sora's health is low, he can voluntarily enter "Rage Form" - which, according to WordOfGod, is basically Sora unleashing his own anger and going on a rampage.

** Id is the personification of this concept - and of RoaringRampageOfRevenge and ImplacableMan. (As well as a bad stereotype of InsaneEqualsViolent related to a real mental health condition, so do be warned...)
** Elly reacts this way at least twice - at the death of her parents and loss of her home, activating her true Ether capacity, and in the battle with Mugwort and Rattan on disc 2.
** Hyper Mode is the "LimitBreak" version for the Gears, and there's a small possibly coincidental EasterEgg in gameplay in the first Miang/Ouroboros fight on disc 2 - two characters will enter Hyper Mode very fast, with no manipulation to make it happen. Those characters are Citan and Maria, and both have more than enough reason to want Miang ''dead'' at this point.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'':
** When [[spoiler:Metal Face murders Fiora]], Shulk reacts... ''badly''.

** In ''[[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2 Torna the Golden Country]]'', when Malos blasts Auresco with his Siren, [[spoiler:killing Milton]], Mythra goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge and uses her full power to kill Malos and make him suffer. She [[spoiler:ends up destroying Torna]] as a result, because Addam couldn't control her.

* FinalFantasyXIV has lots of examples, but the major gameplay ones reliant on it are the Warrior and Dark Knight jobs.

** Throughout ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'', Samus is mostly portrayed as a quiet badass, speaking only once in the entire game and approaching most of her enemies with an almost ButForMeItWasTuesday style of attitude while simultaneously aware of the gravity of her mission. However, during the climatic final battle, [[spoiler:Samus is being [[NeckLift choked out]] by Raven Beak, having failed to defeat the powerful Chozo even at full strength. As she slowly passes out, she is reminded of all the atrocities that befell Quiet Robe, the rest of the Chozo, and the galaxy at Raven Beak's hand, and Raven Beak's final monologue about how he plans to clone her to conquer the galaxy [[RageBreakingPoint finally pushes her over the edge.]] Her Metroid DNA fully manifests and transforms her into a Metroid as she revitalizes, granting her the Metroid Suit as she [[FacePalmOfDoom plunges her left hand into Raven Beak's cracked right eye]] and [[EnergyAbsorption drains both his energy and the energy of the flying space station they're in]] while she unleashes a scream of pure, unadulterated fury]].

** Near the end of ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'', [[spoiler:Samus is being choked out by Raven Beak, having failed to defeat the powerful Chozo even at full strength. As she slowly passes out, she is reminded of all the atrocities that befell Quiet Robe, the rest of the Chozo, and the galaxy at Raven Beak's hand, and Raven Beak's final monologue about how he plans to clone her to conquer the galaxy finally pushes her over the edge.

* ''{{Franchise/Metroid}}'':
** This is what happened to Mother Brain at the end of ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid''. After Samus inflicts enough damage on her, Mother Brain shoots a powerful laser at the bounty hunter that incapacitates her. Mother Brain is about to finish the job when the baby Metroid that saw Samus as its mother attacks and drains the Space Pirate leader before transferring the drained energy to Samus. Mother Brain then attacks the defenseless Metroid in the midst of it healing Samus, which kills it. The energy that Samus receives from the dead Metroid grants her the [[EleventhHourSuperpower Hyper Beam]], which she uses to blast Mother Brain in a now very one-sided battle. Subverted. While the gameplay encourages you to do this, when this is revealed in cutscene form in ''Other M'' Samus is actually in ''[[MamaBear very deep]]'' in TranquilFury territory throwing a PreMortemOneLiner in the most icy tone she's ever been heard using before one shotting her with Hyper Beam.

** A canonical example happens in ''VideoGame/MetroidDread''. After the boss battle with [[spoiler:Raven Beak]], he has Samus in a NeckLift and taunts her that she still can't defeat him and nobody will be able to stop him from conquering the galaxy. Samus' suit shuts down and she seems to be defeated. Then she has visions of the horrors that await the galaxy, and she twitches. Her metroid DNA activates fully and she absorbs the energy of [[spoiler:Raven Beak]]'s ship then breaks loose and savagely beats [[spoiler:Raven Beak]] senseless while the ship crashes. For the last (very one-sided) confrontation and the following EscapeSequence, Samus is in full anthro metroid shape and can fire the hyper beam at will.

** Then there's Terra's. [[spoiler: It reanimated his armour just to fight the guy who had possessed him]] and the musical theme accompanying this battle? Its (very fittingly) called ''Rage Awakened.''

* Usalia in ''VideoGame/Disgaea5AllianceOfVengeance'' gets the Overload "Murmur of Rage". It removes all of her standard specials and gives her "Berserk Stream", a 3x3 attack wherein Usalia, hunched over on all fours, violently slices her opponents at high speed before throwing a gigantic red orb that explodes when it connects with the enemies. Furthermore, she damages all enemies on the map when she transforms, and she deals a support attack after any ally attacks regardless of distance. Her appearance changes as well. She goes from a cute little bunny girl riding a big golden prinny to being hunched over on all fours, her pupils vanish, and she holds her mouth open in a bizarre but unsettling way.
** In Chapter 12, Seraphina ends up taking a shot meant for Killia, and for a moment it seems she has died. This causes him to have a flash back to when [[spoiler: Liezerota took a similar attack from Void Dark, which killed her. Killia, needless to say, flips out and reverts back to his old identity, [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Tyrant Overlord Killidia]]. You get to control Killidia as he tears the daylights out of the enemy demons, and what puts the ''Unstoppable'' in this Rage is that he has no limit to his actions -- as in once you move and attack, you can do so ''again'' without using up a turn! CurbStompBattle doesn't even come close to describing it.]]

* ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'': The added game to the Nintendo Switch rerelease, ''Bowser's Fury'' is quite the apt title. [[spoiler: Due to a prank gone wrong by Junior,]] Bowser has become "Fury Bowser" and has gone on a serious rampage across Lake Lapcat. Whenever he [[AStormIsComing awakens]], he's driven by his pure ''hatred'' of Mario and will pursue the plumber wherever he goes. Unless Mario can grab a Cat Shine to [[WeakenedByTheLight drive off]] Fury Bowser or use the Giga Cat Bell to [[BehemothBattle fight back]], all Mario can do is run until Bowser decides to give up and return to his slumber. [[spoiler: When Mario's 3 shines shy of the 50 needed to awaken the final Giga Cat Bell, Bowser's fury turns truly ''unstoppable'' as the light of the Cat Shines no longer can hinder him, requiring the final Giga Bell to be utilized to put an end to his rampage.]]

* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel III'', [[spoiler: [[TheHero Rean Schwarzer]] undergoes this thanks to a [[TraumaCongaLine combination of events that happen in quick succession]]. To wit: he loses control of his SuperpoweredEvilSide after watching the [[CoolShip Courageous]] destroyed in the sky with his friends and allies still aboard, nearly seeing his student Altina die in front of him, ''seeing Millium die in front of him to protect him'', and the latter's soul being used to forge a sword capable of destroying a Divine Beast. End result: one pissed off man -- as in, so pissed off he ''gains demonic eyes'', something which never happened before, not even prior to him learning to control it--who kills the beast in his SuperRobot and unintentionally spreads darkness throughout the Erebonian empire. Oh and after killing it, he ''still hacks it over and over again'' until it finally dies for real. And ''he still doesn't stop there'' as he goes straight for the culprits. It takes at least two other people in their own super robots to restrain him just to make him stop. And he ''still'' wants to go after the culprits after that! It takes practically all his friends and students, a month later during ''the following game'', linked through their ARCUS [=IIs=] to snap him out of his berserk state, by which point the poor guy's gone so AxCrazy he's reduced to borderline HulkSpeak and forgetting his own name.]]

** The [[StandardStatusAilments Berserk Status Effect]] is this. It gives character boosted attack, defense, and speed stats in exchange for them only using physical attacks and being controlled by the computer.
