So recently Nostalgia has me wanting to play through the Ratchet and Clank and Jak Series side by side again. All I have of these games are great, fun, happy memories. So to start off this giant playthrough, I begin with Jak and Daxter.

This game isn't really that rage inducing. It has its challenges, but if your careful you will be just fine. Really, the only two things about this game that provoke rage into me is Keira's damn voice and the [censored]-tease ending.

After the credits roll. "OH HEY, WHAT'S THIS GIANT DOOR WE DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL JUST NOW? OH WOW, IF YOU BEAT EVERY MISSION IN THE GAME INCLUDING THOSE ACCURSED COLLECTABLES, YOU'LL FIND OUT!"

So we move on to Ratchet and Clank. This is where the challenge comes in. One thing I love about old games is how angry they can make me, and this one is certainly no exception. With a very low use of checkpoints, only being able to get hit four times (it can be upgraded to five and six later on) and a ridiculously painful final boss, this game will have you cussing a wee bit.

The worst part is definetly this last boss. Not really because he is hard but because you have to get it right within the first few tries, number depending on how many bolts (money) you have. If you screw up and don't have money to buy ammo... well... needless go say, I did not get past this boss but decided to just move on.

I go back to the Jak series. This should be less rage inducing, right? The first one wasn't so bad, and I remember I liked this one more.

WRONG!

I have never raged so hard in my life at a video game as much as I have on Jak 2 over the past week. With hardly any checkpoints, a racing mission that chews your balls off, AND THIS [censored] PART WHERE THE KRIMSON GUARD AMBUSH YOU IN THE Canol AREA OF THE SLUMS, this game will piss you off!

GAHHHH! THIS MISSION IS HORRIBLE! I try to fight my way through the guards but they surround me. Ill try to just run instead, but you have these ass holes dropping out of there ships and landing on you. To add on to that, THE SHIPS HAVE LASER TURRETS! These things lock onto you and the only thing you can do is run and hope you don't get shot by them.

If that wasn't enough, you can't fall in the water (which is all over the damn place) or else the red version of Guilty Spark will fly out and vaporise you! You may be thinking, "Oh, just jump back on the walkway." NOPE, THAT DOESN'T WORK! The thing says, "SORRY! I can't let you DO THAT!"

The worst parg is trying to run from the guys. This wouldn't be bad except that you have the fattest civilians on the planet running infront of you and making it impossible to move! GET OUT OF MY WAY DAMMIT!






So, as im sure you all have guessed. This topic is about discussing some of the most funny (or scary) rage quits you have commited. Tell us what you did and what about the game provoked you to doing so.

Exhumed on the Saturn. One level you had to spiral up through all this lava and poison, then kept missing the jump at the end, and dropped all the way to the bottom. Gave up in absolute disgust. Needed to finish it, but had to cool off for a month, only to find it got harder. Then when it was finished, collect the developer dolls. Ohmigod, these guys are sadists. The graphics were ropey to start, but it looked like a positive dinosaur compared to everything else by the time I did it all.

One time when I was like 8 or 9 I got so pissed at Star Wars Rogue Squadron for the N64 that I took the cartridge out and spat on the inside. Dont know why I thought it was a logical response at the time

Ah yes, the first Ratchet and Clank's final boss. Defeating that was an actual challenge!

Really only seemingly unfair deaths make me rage quit anymore, and seeing how often New Vegas crashesh after a headshot i apparently manage to make the game ragequit :hehe:



Meh, a few days ago trying to defeat Gates of Hell in the Last Remnant i figured the most logical response waould be to quit the game, delete the content and have my Steam account banned :lmao:

I was playing Demon Souls, had accrued about 30,000 souls, but had died. I went to pick my body up to gain the points back. A skeleton rolled at me so I dodged...right off of a cliff. I threw my controller up in the air, and punched it. It broke in half. I no longer play Demon Souls.

No game makes me ragequit more than Resident Evil 4. That game is ball-breakingly unforgiving, annoying, and soul-shatteringly difficult. For me, anyway. Nearly every boss, getting hit by random flaming bolts, not stunning an enemy in time, Mercenaries in general, the inventory system, the horrible [censored] controls, GAH!

Why do I like that game? I don't know. Maybe I appreciate the fact that, despite its numerous faults, its difficulty is satisfying to overcome. Very satisfying. Eat laser, you fast parasite-infested [censored]s!

Also, try playing Abe's Odyssey or Exodus without throwing the controller across the room.

As much as I enjoyed certain sports games, catch-up AI usually has me ragequit a game after some nonsense happens that's ridiculous even by arcade'ish standards.

Dude, just dark bomb the water.

Oh god, how Jak 2 and 3 made me ragequit...

Just a few days ago I beat Call of Duty 2 on Veteran. That last level, trying to get across the river...

...damn. I don't think I've ever had to retry a checkpoint so many times in my life. I ragequit a good 3 or 4 times that day. But I got it!

I didn't find RE4 all that difficult aside from a few select areas (mostly in the castle). Except for those blind-armored things that you have to hit in the back anyway. Those can go die in a very large fire.

And yes, those were the main cause of my ragequits in that game.

The Big Sister on hard in Bioshock 2 as well. Yeah, the vita-chamber helps since it doesn't really penalize you for dying, but it's still REALLY [censored] ANNOYING.

Damn thats hardcoe!

Here I thought this was a, "Have you ever ragequit a job before?" thread and I had two awesome stories of times I've ragequit jobs. I click the link and am sorely disappointed.

This thread fails. :sadvaultboy:

I never had a problem with the Jak games, except that I didn't know how to open the door in the first game. Also, if you use the jump-and-roll maneuver, the Krimson Guard's lasers can't get you.

I almost never ragequit games, but I do, "Okay, I'm tired of doing this, I'm going outside"quit games if they're too hard. The only game that I have legitimately ragequit was World at War on Veteran. I have never been so mad at anything in my entire life.

That game made me so angry as a kid....It was really fun though.



That is why I always cut off my PS3 as soon as I died.

Most early Mega Man games and all of the Mega Man X games (except for seven and eight) have broken a controller or two in my house.

I used to rage hard at arena pvp in WoW, hard enough that I once struck my laptop and damaged the hdd so much I had to replace it. Reach would get on my nerves too, never enough to make me ragequit though. However, I hardly play either of these anymore.

Metroid series. Where's the door? Where's the door? WHERE THE HELL IS THAT FREAKING DOOR? Spend hours searching for a door to start my next area and just can't freaking find it. Rage quit, come back several weeks (or in the case of Metroid Prime, MONTHS) later....the door was right there all along, just slightly hidden behind a rock outcropping or something. All of my rage.

The year was 2004 (or 05 idfk) and I was playing 'Catwoman' (the video game based on the Halle Berry movie) on my brother's big fat PS2.

The level required me to swing from light post to light post to advance further. Needless to say as a video game nooblet I couldn't do it at all. And I got MAD.

I freaked out and threw the controller across the room. It was attatched to a wire so it didn't get very far. Ever since then when I RAAAGE on a game I refer to it as a 'Catwoman moment'.

The end.

The only game that I can remember that's made me genuinely angry is Demon's Souls. Especially the fight with the Maneaters. I actually had to resort to exploiting a glitch to beat them after breaking one of my controllers.

I thought the same thing (except I've never ragequitted from a job)

God of War 1 on Hard Mode during the second half of the battle with Ares (when you are using the giant sword). Cheap boss moves! :swear:

Also, during Colosseum: Road to Freedom; I had worn down the tops of my anolog sticks so much that my thumbs were slipping off, making it difficult to perform the necessary actions during combat. I actually threw the controller, I was so pissed.

And more recently, the battle against the 6-(human-infant)-headed-dragon Typhon in Rygar: Legendary Journey. It's an okay game, but only in small doses due to bad voice acting&dialog, as well as poor pacing.

Hey, just make sure to add an actual video game ragequit at the bottom. That way you won't be off topic!

I'm curious.

I actually ragequit from Assassin's Creed 1 after getting extremely pissed at not being able to pass a certain part.

Been there, done that. Then i found the hint system of Prime :hehe: And of course now i pretty much remember where to go and when. Except the artifacts and Sky Temple Keys.

Ah I love Ratchet & Clank and Jak & Daxter. They're my 2 favourite PS exclusive series I dunno I think both the series are easy enough though :shrug:

I got all the items needed to open the door for the first oen though so (trust me you don't see anything worthwhile though).

RnC is a series that's usually pretty easy until the final boss in which case it's very hard and the first game had the hardest boss of the entire series, if you don't get it the first (maybe 2nd) time, forget it you'll never win and you'll enver finish the game :swear:

Rage quits usually happen with fighting games - Tekken 5 being the prime example (the final boss was ridiculously overpowered) - or racing games, now I don't any one of these but a friend lend me GT5 and it's so annoying when you're in race where you can get DQd if you go off road by just a couple feet :stare:
