Okay, slight :powerlevel: here, but I have anger issues when it comes to losing in video games. If I die a bunch of times, I will flip out. I've been trying to keep this under control, but I do tend to tard rage if I lose. Shameful though it is to admit, I've involuntarily created scenarios such as this:


Here are some prominent freakouts I can remember:

I was round a friend's house playing Halo 4, and as anyone who's played that game knows, it chucks you in right at the deep end. You have to start shooting right away. I was killed a bunch of times before I even got off the ship and I got mad. I think I invented several new swear words while my friends just watched and laughed.

Also, I love it to bits, but Jak 2 is a hard game. Jak 2 vs Jak 3 is one of those decisions where it's impossible for me to choose which one's better (a reverse of the situation where I can't decide whether Alien 3 or Alien Resurrection is worse), but a major point in Jak 3's favour is they toned down the difficulty to a fairer level. On my third playthrough of Jak 2 I got stuck on the sewer level where you have to escort three men. Not only do you have to look out for them, but there's barely any health packs and there are no checkpoints. You start the whole level over if you die. Eventually, I gave up and to this day I haven't pushed past that level, despite doing it before. I'd be here all day if I went through every mission in Jak 2 that made me rage, but that's the only one that made me rage quit for a significant amount of time.

Another prominent rage moment was the final level of Sly 1. Sly 1's not an especially hard game, but I kept dying during the final battle with Clockwerk. I was at the bottom floor of my house and my brother was on the top floor and he could hear me yelling through the floor. Not one of my proudest moments :oops:
 
I liked the more challenging aspects of Survival mode but I feel like I was being tutored on how to babysit a starved orphan. How to raise them, wipe shit from their asses. It just got annoying and the only reason I have it on now is because of a Kill Everything mod.

Story related to Fallout 4:

Know how it's nearly goddamn impossible to operate above the law in Diamond City when sneaking is useless even with a Railroad stealthboy? Well, this is an example of my carelessness and greed clouding my sense of reality, you need to SAVE before committing felonies in Diamond City on Survival Mode. So I was able to hijack a railroad stealthboy and use it to try and sneak into McDonough's penthouse offices where his slut secretary mouths you off about a housing permit. Okay fine but I just want to kill two birds with one stone and get Kellog's key and hey maybe even my caps back. Three deals in one reach-around, finished, so I managed to get hidden... Up until a guard gently bumps into me right before I lock pick, getting me detected. No problem, just sneak out. Right? No. Get immediately spotted and my head blown off. Do it again. Succeed... Goes to explore Kellog's house and guess what? New Vegas Deja-Vu, game crashes on load screen.

Hey where the hell is my save file? Fuck you. Never really got a proper restart on Survival Mode after that horseshit... Didn't touch the game again until mods came out.

Ugh, that Clockwerk level was hard as balls. I felt so proud when I finally beat it.

I yet to actually face the terror that's Rugal Bernstein in the early King of Fighters games, but there still plenty of cheap asshole bosses in other fighting games

First, there's I-No from Guilty Gear XX #Reload. At first, she doesn't seem like much, especially since she's one of the starting playable characters. But then you'll realize she is going to block every single attack you make on her while her ranged attacks have been completely buffed in speed and strength. Let me just say there's nothing that pisses me off more in a fighting game than a ranged fighter, except maybe a ranged BOSS. They severely nerfed her boss version for the next re-release...to make room for the new bullshit boss, Order Sol. At least he's a secret boss, so you can at least spare yourself from him.

Next, there's Gill from Street Fighter III. There's his Seraphic Wings super that's nearly unblockable and takes down half of your health. But there's one worse thing about Gill that can be described in one word, "RESURRECTION!"

Finally there's Mortal Kombat 2. I honestly can't tell you anything about how bullshit powerful Kintaro and Shao Khan are because I've never even faced them. The difficulty has been jacked up so high that I struggle to even get to the 5th opponent. I have beaten every other Mortal Kombat game, including the first game and its bullshit endurance rounds. But for MKII, it's like what Khan says, I'm too much of a "weak, pathetic, fool".
 
Thought of another one,
I got the FFX remaster for shits and giggles early this year and ran through it for the first time since I was but a lad, I got to the calm lands and found the stolen aeon cave, fought my way through and managed to buy Yojimbo (I'm sure many of you can guess where this story is headed).

After getting my new 15 foot tall samurai companion, I decided to test him out and see what his average damage on hit would be, so I picked a fight with some random fiends in the cave, it was a pair of dog demons or something.

I tossed him 50 gil thinking he would use his throwing knives or let his dog attack.

He used fucking Zanmato.
 
If I try to play the classic sonic games, its guaranteed I will rage, and I will ragequit.

I'm sorry to any Sonic fan out there, but I hate Sonic's classic games (1, 2, 3, Sonic and Knuckles) I cannot stand them, I can barely understand them, it is just not my kind of platformer.
 
The most recent frustration for me in recent memory was the fucking Bed of Chaos boss fight in Dark Souls. It's a three part fight with bullshit mechanics. The floor falls out from under you, you have to dodge large area sweeping attacks and if you die the walk back to the boss is grueling and annoying. To top it all off the actual boss fight is a joke and the payoff is not worth it. This is one of the most unfulfilling and infuriating moments in the Dark Souls series.

Seriously, it looks easy, but doing it blind the first time, I died so much, that leap of faith onto the fucking tree in the center hole is enough to make you rage quit. I knew I was so close to beating it and just had to take the abuse.

 
Mission 45 from Metal Gear Solid V

You and Quiet are forced to take on a seemingly endless wave of tanks, soldiers, and choppers. Quiet is pretty much useless in this mission since as a sniper, she can only take out a few soldiers. As for you, if you aren't prepared with numerous anti-vehicle weapons, you've already lost. Stealth is non-existent in this mission, so you can't pussy-out and use the chicken hat. Even when prepared, you're still going to have the worst time of your life as you only have limited ammo and will be forced to continuously call for ammo from Mother Base. Did I mention how goddamn accurate those tanks are? Even when a sandstorm brews up, they still find me. And by the way, MAKE SURE THEY DON'T KILL QUIET OKAY EASYPEASY
 
As someone who's been a nerd of the Poke'mon series for years, I've had my tard rage moments with the games over the years. Particularly the "let's have you be paralyzed six turns in a row and watch your opponent set up on your crippled Poke'mon who was the only counter to this shitface and get blown the fuck back".

Another game I know I've had rage issues with in the past was ye old Sonic&Knuckles on the Sega Genesis. Haven't touched the game in years, but when I was younger and playing it my grandparent's place, I always got stuck on a particular boss with Knuckles and would have the biggest fucking tantrums.

I don't remember the name of the game, it belonged to my brother and was played on his XBox, but it had something to do with piloting a mecha and trying to save various areas on a planet from invaders. I'll have to see if he remembers the name of it, but I had some moments of rage with that one with some of the bosses you were supposed to somehow beat, yet they OHKO'd you a few seconds into the fight starting.

I've got some underlying anger troubles with video games. Just about every one I've played has pissed me off at some point or another; excluding Okami and Shadow of the Colossus.
