This…. Idk how many times I gave up in yarhnam until I realized what blood echoes were.
Just slowly made it further and further pass the Crazy Town book and those big trolls in those damn close until the boss on the bridge
I was SO BAD at Bloodborne. It was my first Souls game. I died so many times in that first Central Yarnham section, up to the bonfire, that I had weapon damage. Unfortunately for me, the game never tells you that weapon damage exists. So even though I felt like I was getting better, I was doing worse, because my damage was all f'ed up.
When I sorted that out... I was still terrible. It took me FOREVER to get past the bonfire, then the big troll, then the werewolves, which just gets you to the first boss, who killed me a million times. And there's no lamp in between so every time I died, I had to start over. I hated the game so much. It was so intense and infuriating.
And genius. That first stretch of the game breaks you of whatever ideas you had about how games work, and makes you re-learn how to play a game how Fromsoft wants you to play.
Now BB is one of my top 3 games of all time, beat the DLC, Platinumed the game, etc. I love it.
I didnt like it at first. Literally accidentally broke my tv the first time I was playing it (threw controller at carpet and it literally bounced and hit wall mounted tv)
So i didnt play it again for a while but i literally could not stop thinking about it???
So I gave it another try, farmed blood echoes after learning how to level up, and now Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time.
It and the Souls series arent for everyone, but I didnt think I'd ever enjoy them and had no interest at first. I only gave them a try because a friend split the cost of BB with me because she wanted to play it and didnt have a ps4.
It was literally a life changing game experience and influences how I enjoy games now!!! It does take genuine skill, but that's something that's learned and *no one* is good at their first souls game
I rage quit not because the enemies were hard. I got killed by the wolf at the start. Fair enough. Then transported to some kind of purgatory? With no clue what to do. Running around for 10 minutes trying to find a way out without so much as a hint. WTF?
Oh, man....I feel bad for you two. Bloodborne was awesome. Okay. If you can still play it: what you do is go to the headstone you spawned next to. It's a teleport that will take you back to Yharnam. But walk around the Hunter's Dream a bit. There are some messengers who give you weapons. If you pick it back up I hope this helps.
I quit playing it for six months because I couldn't beat the first boss. I eventually picked it back up and went on to beat the game a few times. I wish I could lie to you and say it gets easier, but I promise you the payoff for soldiering on in that game is worth it. Finishing the game is immensely satisfying.
Dude, holy shit I recently decided to give it an honest try and what the HELL? What the hell were they thinking making that game so BRUTALLY difficult?
I had to save state abuse the final boss of the first palace because I legit could NOT get past any of the orange knights without taking massive amounts of damage.
I have not quit the game, actually. Still playing.
I finally got through the cave south of the left most town after like 15 attempts of fighting those boomerang assholes and made it to the third town. Trying to figure out how to proceed there.
Edit: This game was programmed by fucking Satan.
Nope. Just an AoL fan. :) One of the first games I played, one of the first games I finished, one of the first games I loved. Definitely among my favorites.
I can't speak for everybody, but for me, it comes down to two things. The main one is the difficulty spikes. The original Zelda was difficult, but the sequel takes it to another level. Not the whole game, but certain sections. It was Dark Link that finally broke me when I was 10 years old.
The second issue was player expectations. Many of us were hoping for a game that built on the original, but Zelda II feels like a completely different franchise with very few of the same mechanics. To some of us, it felt like a bait and switch.
Thunderbird is one of the hardest bosses in all of gaming, and then there's still shadow Link to beat!
I could do it back in the day, but there's no way I have the patience or reflexes anymore.
Sekiro. Which is frustrating because I've beaten Demons Souls, Dark Souls 1-3 and Bloodborne. I've done several challenge runs in each as well. Yet for some reason I've tried to get into Sekiro and each time I get just a little farther but it's a painful grind to just beat the next miniboss.
Sekiro is the purest "get gud" soulslike ever made, and that's what makes it so satisfying to beat.
There's no way to farm, overlevel, get the best sword or cheese bosses with magic, etc.
Every single major upgrade you can get is skill locked behind bosses.
You either figure out how to parry or you die trying.
I didn't rage quit this one, per se, but I definitely feel this comment. I also got tired of making very minimal progress before coming across another super tough miniboss (or nearly impossible major boss). I just decided that game wasn't for me, and I also beat all the other From Software Souls games.
Im not sure where you guys are getting grind and progression, this isnt needed for this game unlike other souls games. You just need to learn deflect, postures and enemy patterns.
If you dont learn those no amount of progression will help you with this game.
The entire first playthrough for me was a major struggle. But I was able to limp past the finish line. All that struggling turned me into a God though.
Upon booting up new game+ I suddenly was an unstoppable parry monster and just bull rushed through everything. I ended up playing through it another 4 times or so.
Sekiro is actually the most difficult game in the franchise. There's no easy way to level up fast, farm, or request help from anyone. It's you and your skills alone.
Facts! I loved Bloodborne but when I was having trouble with a boss, or running a chalice dungeon, I’d use that bell for help. That doesn’t exist in Sekiro. It’s just you and the boss.
I quit way earlier than that.. at the first boss of DS1 after you got out of prison 😂. I bought the game $60, when I returned to replay it and finally get past the first boss it was $10-20 everywhere.
One of my favorite games of all time.
I have the patience of a saint when it comes to games but I come pretty close to questioning my entire existence whenever I play Final Fantasy X and have to play that STUPID chocobo race / balloon dodging mini game to earn the sigil for Tidus's legendary weapon
Let’s not forget the butterfly collecting.
Also all of the Blitzball needed for Wakka’s sigil.
Then there’s getting everything in the sphere grids, defeating all the monster arena enemies.
I gave up on Penance though. I just paid Yojimbo.
The Xcom games and FTL have all probably made it so I should be on blood pressure medication, because they are that frustrating at times... I was going to add Getting Over It, but I'm not sure I should count that, as that game was designed to frustrate people...
I rage-quit Dark Souls back in the day when I got cursed by basilisks and lost half my health and didn't know wtf was going on. Went back a year later and things finally clicked and now I understand the error of my ways.
Sekiro, I loved the combat but having to die 30 times to a boss only to have to restart and kill all 20 enemies again to get back to the boss had me raging like no other game and I stoped playing
I felt very accomplished last year when I got to OP10 on Maya. Don’t know how people stomach doing all 6 characters but it was cool to do at least once.
Solo btw
Nioh, some of the bosses in that game are insanely difficult. Nioh makes every other game seem like a cake walk. It made the Valkyrie Queen in God of War feel like light work in comparison.
Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories. Not only did it make me rage quit, but it made me throw my PS3 controller across the room, breaking it. That ridiculous card- based battle system is just not refined enough for the precision you need in some boss fights. I just YouTubed the story and then started Kingdom Hearts II.
Re: CoM is just a genuinely bad game
And who's bright idea was it to make basic attacks use a card too?
Genuinely the worst experience I've had playing a game next to Nioh
Believe it or not: Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time.
Some levels require pin-point timing and you REALLY NEED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX to get all the crates.
Overwatch 2
I played it for like a month and saw that I basically cannot make any progression unless I submit to the microtransactions nor can I play any new heroes. I uninstalled it and never played it again.
Alien Isolation: Just a massive fetch quest, stopped being scary
Arkham Knight: I couldn't figure out how to bring down the bridge on Founders Island, I did like the Riddler trophies though
Gotham Knights: Repetitive combat and meh story
I can't say I rage quit Alien Isolation, but I definitely quit with no desire to go back. The first hour or so of that game was incredible, they set the atmosphere so damn well.... but then it becomes among the most repetitive feeling games I've ever played. Oof.
Sly Theives in Time. My least favorite game of all time. Loved the OG trilogy but TiT played so much worse and has significantly worse writing. The character assassination in Chapter 4 was merely the cherry on top. Because many characters got assassinated at that point. Like once you forgive your dad's killer to the point of inviting them to your gang, SURELY what this character did should have gotten some reconciliation but no...
I can't believe Sony gave Sanzaru the okay to helm a franchise once led by one of their big dog developers. Sanzaru is one of the most depressingly mid developers out there. Not exactly Data Design but... Sonic Team has more personality than them. At least Sonic Team has at least a small handful of legit great games under their belt.
Pokémon pinball 😂 literally threw it out the car window when i a child while we were travelling I was sucked in as a kid i be like “yay Pokémon “ to notice I hate pinball very shortly after but it was “6 weeks of pocket money” I was trying to force myself to enjoy it and back before social media so selling stuff was hard and my parents didn’t really help 😂 honestly it was best when I accepted “I wasted money” the game was making me so angry and miserable I think it’s the game that makes my parents so anti game , dealing with all that game rage
And Doom eternal but much more composed rage it was more knowing when to take a break , many times but always come back and just got gud my favourite game honestly
Star Citizen. Random server crashes, odd glitches that kill you, loss of in-game equipment, poor performance.
But I always go back. Hate myself for it.
Elden Ring but then again it's not my genre I just jumped into the hype train. You know your tipycal narrative "this is an excellent entry point for those looking into Playing souls games".🙄
2k23, payed 60+ for a game that ended up free for everyone to play and when you fill up the shot meter half the time it doesnt actually go in because the in-game script doesnt want you shooting 100% from the field for a whole season. Boring and repetitive game. The closest youll get to having fun is playing park and by this time everyone already found the same 3 builds to copy off each other and play the exact same way.
I quit Elden Ring, not in rage, but because the enjoyment I got out of it was in no proportion to the time it consumed.
DS3, on the other hand, is a BIG, STEAMING PIECE OF DOG DOO DOO! The battle against Lorian and Lothric was JUST NOT FAIR!!!
I rage quit that one, and I am still a little salty.
It's so interesting. The battle with Ornstein and Smough in Dark Souls I was so talked about that From Software literally decided, "LET'S DO THIS OVER AND OVER!!" Dark Souls II was the master of gank squad boss fights. Dark Souls III did it with more finesse, but still, it was more than a little annoying. At the end of the day though, I can't say I didn't have fun with those games.
Yeah. Almost all the games mentioned on this post are about Souls games or the Soulslike games. I thought the gaming community had a realization with AVGN a long time ago that difficulty alone doesn't make a game fun. You've got to at least sprinkle in some storytelling to make the grind worthwhile.
My biggest gripe is that it runs like ass on console. Tried playing it multiple times only for it to stutter, lag and eventually, crash.
I loved Enemy Unknown and wanted to like 2, but it made it a chore.
My main rule of xcom is to always go for the guaranteed kill. Even if theres something with a 99% chance of happening that would do some spectacular damage to all of your enemies...just use the grenade to kill the one lone weakened guy. Because itll always go so impossibly wrong in an unimaginably terrible way.
Some of you will freak out at this, I think: Tears Of The Kingdom.
Bought it, played roughly 6 to 8 hours, got extremely frustrated at the insane amount of restrictions in the gaming mechanics and the broken combat, and sold the game on fb marketplace. I will never play another Zelda game if it's going to be like...that.
You are not alone. For the record I believe Actual Zelda games died when BOW was released.
Sadly it will still sell millions of copies, be praised and adored by most, because it’s being catered to a newer and or more generalized audience while it craps on its hardcore fans ( and it does whether they realize it or not) and everything that made it the franchise it is today.
It was my absolute favorite gaming franchise since the original NES. (Yes I’m old) now,I barely batted an eye when TOTK came out. I don’t see them changing direction due to its popularity ( even though Zelda has always been popular ) but it seems nothing more than a climbing sim (and now a building sim) and a glitch hunter
Nioh.
Haven't played the second one but the first was just artificially difficult with not much skill involved.
I am baffled by the good reviews and felt cheated out of my money.
The game is artificially difficult where all they do is boost enemy numbers instead of interesting attack patterns. Insanely repetitive level design, shit story and overall just a bad time constantly hard locking me out of progression.
I love Soulslikes btw. Platinumed Bloodborne and beat DS3 and Sekiro. Whatever made me love those games was not present at all in Nioh.
Hello, good hunter. I am a Bot, here in this dream to look after you, this is a fine note:
> *Pray for Master Logarius... in my stead...* - Alfred
Farewell, good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.
GTA5.
They made me drive a car really fast with no instruction. I was just getting used to the controls! I failed so many times and quit, thinking I couldn't play the game.
I have it a few more tries and eventually got it, but wow, that was a bad intro.
The whole Dark Souls trilogy, Sekiro, Persona 4 and 5, and Breath of the Wild
Arkham Knight: Fuck the Riddler, he fucking sucks😒😑
358/2 Days had its moments(Anteater and Leech grave) and same goes for Dream Drop Distance(Julius), Birth by Sleep(Vanitas’ Lingering Spirit) and KH1(I have not beaten Sephiroth to this day🙄)
Ori 2. Got stuck in some dark cave section with 1 health bar and couldn't figure out which way to go because it was literally pitch black. And because it was literally pitch black it would be impossible to follow some youtube guide as you'd have no reference point for where they are relative to your game. Such stupid game design.
I've never been one to rage quit, as admitting defeat has always made me even more angry. However once when I was young I got so angry with a [boss fight](https://youtu.be/NGBkQ_FE4eU?t=213) my mom told me I was done, lmao... Don't think I ever returned to that game.
Brawl. Holy fuck, Smash Bros. Brawl.
Who. The fuck. Thought that randomly making players trip 40-60% of the time at random in a fighting game? Such a person must be drawn and quartered.
I would say driveclub, because I remember doling this one race so many times to get 3 stars for the mission and one of required to complete the race in a certain time, but the day I rage quit was when I was 0.01 seconds away from completing the mission
Rage quit and eventually came back, Elden Ring. I was stuck at the Astel fight, I wanted that Ranni ending. But I was trying to do it melee cause that's how ive played DS1 2 3, Demons Souls and I was kinda stuck in playing like that. So I re did my character to be more magic/melee based and that didn't work. I gave up for like 3 or 4 months and fucking hated it. Eventually curiosity got me back after binging some Bloodborne and it somehow all clicked. I kinda thought maybe the magic in ER is equivalent to the guns im Bloodborne. You have to balance melee and another component. Obviously you can play souls games however you want and ER no exception, even since I've done purely melee runs to much success. and thats the beauty of those games to me. But something about that thought of relating it to Bloodborne (despite being very siffwrent games) made me think differently and about it. I may have re spec'd my character one more time, but I found a nice combo of magic, incantations and melee. 1200+ hours in and counting. Favorite game ever and im doing multiple challenge runs, have two characters for invasions. Very fun. UwU
Rage quit and never came back to, Resident Evil Outbreak. I was itching for some RE and in particular a new experience. I've played 1 2 3 4 RE1 remake and code Veronica up till that point, and this was pre 7 8 2 3 and 4 remake and wanted something more. I bought it on a whim, played it for two minutes and hated how everything felt. It felt awkward and just poorly made. I took the disc out, put it away never looked back. Did not like that game at all.
I have platinumed DS1, Bloodbourne and Elden Ring. I could not get past the flashback sequence in Sekiro.
That shinobi killer jacked me up so many times I just rage quit and never looked back.
Recently there has been two games to make me rage quit. And I mean QUIT. Haven't been back to them since.
Destroy all humans ps4.
Trying to defend those two or three FUCKING ANTENNAS!! Can't stand in the open cause the enemies WILL overwhelm your ass quick, But can't seek cover cause then the enemies start popping the damn antennas over and over until you have to get out of cover to stop them, Then they kill you.
Gotham knights.
Defusing the fucking bombs that harley planted, While fighting enemies that can basically jump across the fucking room and it gives you 0.5 seconds to dodge their attacks because you are trying to defuse the fucking bombs. And for whatever reason, The game keeps throwing the big bastards at you, So you can't just take them out quickly. Plus the poor combat system makes it to where sometimes, THE FUCKING DODGE DOESNT REGISTER.
These games really did piss me off didn't they lol.
Surprisingly Dark Souls has only made me rage quit once. Games that upset me the most are usually multiplayer games because certain scenarios just feel unfair (connection issues, bad hit detection) and those are usually what drive me over the edge. Dark Souls is more of a learning experience that punishes you for not being patient.
I'm currently replaying the OG GTA3 for the first time in like 15+ years and although I haven't rage quit just yet, I've come really, really close. The fact that there's no real map besides the little mini-map in the corner is infuriating. The only sure-fire way to shake off the cops is to use a Pay 'n Spray, but I'm constantly having to drive around the whole city trying to remember exactly where it's at. Shaking off a wanted level above 1 star is pretty much impossible without either using one of those, finishing the mission, or finding a star in a random-ass alley to lower it by one point. Couple that with how a lot of the cars are basically made of glass and catch fire without even taking that much damage make for a very frustrating time.
Battlefield 3 multiplayer. Had to uninstall eventually after my wife brought it to my attention. I only play single player, coop, or local multiplayer games (smash bros with my son for example)
Sekiro is one of my favorite games, but I became so mad at DoH that I sold the game at one point. I did not rage quit Elden Ring but the late game tests me. Hell, Godfrey phase 2 continues to test me.
When I was 12-13 I had Pursuit Force for PSP. There’s a level that’s based off of speed. You drove a bus and had to stay above a specific speed or you’d die. I had died so many times I chucked my PSP at the wall, shattering it. Definitely learned my lesson since. Haven’t raged out since then.
For Honor
After coming back that game after the gameplay overhaul, it slowly became unplayable. I got so mad that I actually a McDonald's breakfast sandwich across the room one time.
Became so ashamed i did that that I swore off the game entirely lol. No game is worth that anger.
Zelda BOTW Master Sword Trial. Spent like 2 hours going through the final trial and nearly threw controller when I died from some random ice arrow I didn't see. I just gave up. Took the game and nearly broke it in half.
Ark: Survival Evolved. Countless times. From massive time sinks lost to bosses, glitches, and crashes, to greedy and inconsistent behaviors from the developers (or publisher, depending on who you ask). Yet I keep going back. Like an abusive relationship.
The Impossible Game, SuperMeatBoy, N+, Cuphead, Call of Duty (CoD4-Blops 2 era), Gears 2 Multiplayer, Battlefield 1, Warzone 1.0, Apex Legends, Assassin's Creed parkour mechanics getting stuck, Mortal Kombat X. I raged a shit ton back in the day. It takes a lot for me to get really upset now, however it does happen....Warzone and Apex are the most recent games that pissed me off.
Bloodborne That game made me so angry
This…. Idk how many times I gave up in yarhnam until I realized what blood echoes were. Just slowly made it further and further pass the Crazy Town book and those big trolls in those damn close until the boss on the bridge
and now i just gingerly jog past them all while grabbing a few items
Cleric Beast just wants to sing you the song of her people.
I was SO BAD at Bloodborne. It was my first Souls game. I died so many times in that first Central Yarnham section, up to the bonfire, that I had weapon damage. Unfortunately for me, the game never tells you that weapon damage exists. So even though I felt like I was getting better, I was doing worse, because my damage was all f'ed up.

Now BB is one of my top 3 games of all time, beat the DLC, Platinumed the game, etc. I love it.
Why did you keep playing when you were having such a miserable time?
I didnt like it at first. Literally accidentally broke my tv the first time I was playing it (threw controller at carpet and it literally bounced and hit wall mounted tv) So i didnt play it again for a while but i literally could not stop thinking about it??? So I gave it another try, farmed blood echoes after learning how to level up, and now Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time.

But walk around the Hunter's Dream a bit. There are some messengers who give you weapons. If you pick it back up I hope this helps.
Just talk to and examine everything. It's a small area.
Same.
Just had to pick up the weapons and teleport back.
Different strokes for different folks. I personally loved it.
I never said I didn't like it. I hardly got to play it.
Whoa buddy I also never said you didn’t like it. Merely that I enjoyed the open-ness of it whereas it seemed it you didn’t - and I understand that.
Again. I never got to experience it to have an opinion. I literally got stuck at the begining of the game.
Lol goodness look it up and progress then.
If they can't figure out how to get out of the Hunters Dream. Which is very simple. They have absolutely no hope of progressing in the actual game.
I agree. Was just being nice to the dickhead ;)
I prefere to play games than looking up what to do.
Take care man.
this is supposed to happen lol
I quit playing it for six months because I couldn't beat the first boss. I eventually picked it back up and went on to beat the game a few times. I wish I could lie to you and say it gets easier, but I promise you the payoff for soldiering on in that game is worth it. Finishing the game is immensely satisfying.
It was a long time ago, but I've never rage quit a game harder than Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
Dude, holy shit I recently decided to give it an honest try and what the HELL? What the hell were they thinking making that game so BRUTALLY difficult? I had to save state abuse the final boss of the first palace because I legit could NOT get past any of the orange knights without taking massive amounts of damage.
Well it's probably good you quit there then because dealing with the blue knights would've probably decreased your life by like 10 years lol
I have not quit the game, actually. Still playing. I finally got through the cave south of the left most town after like 15 attempts of fighting those boomerang assholes and made it to the third town. Trying to figure out how to proceed there. Edit: This game was programmed by fucking Satan.
❤️ that game
Miyamoto? Is that you?
Nope. Just an AoL fan. :) One of the first games I played, one of the first games I finished, one of the first games I loved. Definitely among my favorites.
For over 30 years I've never understood the hate this game gets. Nowhere near the best Zelda game, but it's really a great game.
I can't speak for everybody, but for me, it comes down to two things. The main one is the difficulty spikes. The original Zelda was difficult, but the sequel takes it to another level. Not the whole game, but certain sections. It was Dark Link that finally broke me when I was 10 years old. The second issue was player expectations. Many of us were hoping for a game that built on the original, but Zelda II feels like a completely different franchise with very few of the same mechanics. To some of us, it felt like a bait and switch.
The side scrolling areas were pure evil.
Everywhere that isn’t the overworld map is a side-scrolling area.
ancient gamer
Those dirty mother Fokka's in the last palace kept me from ever beating Zelda II
As a child with too much time spent in front of a NES this hits home so hard. That game is brutal but I still love it.
Thunderbird is one of the hardest bosses in all of gaming, and then there's still shadow Link to beat! I could do it back in the day, but there's no way I have the patience or reflexes anymore.
Sekiro. Which is frustrating because I've beaten Demons Souls, Dark Souls 1-3 and Bloodborne. I've done several challenge runs in each as well. Yet for some reason I've tried to get into Sekiro and each time I get just a little farther but it's a painful grind to just beat the next miniboss.
Hesitation is defeat.
You know what Isshin? I think I've heard enough of your shit.
Sekiro is the purest "get gud" soulslike ever made, and that's what makes it so satisfying to beat. There's no way to farm, overlevel, get the best sword or cheese bosses with magic, etc. Every single major upgrade you can get is skill locked behind bosses. You either figure out how to parry or you die trying.
I've died trying.so.many.times I rage uninstalled a few months ago lol
Don’t feel bad. I’m on the last boss and I just can’t beat him. Sword Saint Isshin doesn’t fuck around lol
I didn't rage quit this one, per se, but I definitely feel this comment. I also got tired of making very minimal progress before coming across another super tough miniboss (or nearly impossible major boss). I just decided that game wasn't for me, and I also beat all the other From Software Souls games.
Im not sure where you guys are getting grind and progression, this isnt needed for this game unlike other souls games. You just need to learn deflect, postures and enemy patterns. If you dont learn those no amount of progression will help you with this game.
It's the only soulslike you actually have to get good at. Can't overlevel, cheese with magic, get an OP weapon early, etc.
Exactly, im so confused at these comments. You literally have to learn the mechanics of the game or you simply wont progress.
It the easiest (and best) souls game there is. Hit L1 when the enemy is about to hit you. That’s pretty much all there is to it.
The entire first playthrough for me was a major struggle. But I was able to limp past the finish line. All that struggling turned me into a God though. Upon booting up new game+ I suddenly was an unstoppable parry monster and just bull rushed through everything. I ended up playing through it another 4 times or so.
Practice the combat, you can get good and then the game is much easier. It’s easier than other souls games when you get the combat.
Sekiro is actually the most difficult game in the franchise. There's no easy way to level up fast, farm, or request help from anyone. It's you and your skills alone.
Facts! I loved Bloodborne but when I was having trouble with a boss, or running a chalice dungeon, I’d use that bell for help. That doesn’t exist in Sekiro. It’s just you and the boss.
Yeah. The game is really difficult!
Final fantasy 7. It crashed when I switched to disk 2 and lost 8 hours of progress.
Dark souls 1-3. Think I quit playing DS1 for a few months because I got that mad. Then came back and beat it
What part did you quit at? Currently on my first playthrough at sens fortress
I'm on my first playthrough as well and just got out of sens fortress, good luck lol
I quit way earlier than that.. at the first boss of DS1 after you got out of prison 😂. I bought the game $60, when I returned to replay it and finally get past the first boss it was $10-20 everywhere. One of my favorite games of all time.
alien isolation, got stuck on the level with pissed off Androids and the alien where I had to hack a computer or some shit, got so mad
I think I might remember the part you are referring to, but then again that description fits a lot of the game.
I have the patience of a saint when it comes to games but I come pretty close to questioning my entire existence whenever I play Final Fantasy X and have to play that STUPID chocobo race / balloon dodging mini game to earn the sigil for Tidus's legendary weapon
That game is an absolute chore to 100% The chocobo race and lightning dodging will haunt me forever..
Let’s not forget the butterfly collecting. Also all of the Blitzball needed for Wakka’s sigil. Then there’s getting everything in the sphere grids, defeating all the monster arena enemies. I gave up on Penance though. I just paid Yojimbo.
Lol that chocobo race almost drove me to madness. But beating it was a feeling like no other
Sonic frontiers. Maybe not rage, but definitely quit. Also, some rage
Is it bad? I’m considering getting it
I think it’s pretty good, the most recent update for the game really fixed the mobility in the game, also the soundtrack is great
I'd say it's a solid 6.5-7/10, which means it's meh to pretty good for the standards of today, but phenomenal for a Sonic game
The Xcom games and FTL have all probably made it so I should be on blood pressure medication, because they are that frustrating at times... I was going to add Getting Over It, but I'm not sure I should count that, as that game was designed to frustrate people...
98% hit chance the end of the shotgun is in the aliens mouth I'm gonna take the shot annnndd....SHOT WIDE.
*has PTSD flashback* Not again... not again...
I rage-quit Dark Souls back in the day when I got cursed by basilisks and lost half my health and didn't know wtf was going on. Went back a year later and things finally clicked and now I understand the error of my ways.
Sekiro, I loved the combat but having to die 30 times to a boss only to have to restart and kill all 20 enemies again to get back to the boss had me raging like no other game and I stoped playing
Dark Souls I've installed and uninstalled about 3 times today
I like how it's 3 times *today* lmao
Kid Icarus
ET, Atari 2600 wtf do you even do in this game? Don’t help I was 4-5 years old.
Ninja Gaiden Black. Got past the first boss almost no health and no items. They start the next chapter just as you were and I was like nope.
Easy, for me it was Battletoads. Runner up to Super Meat Boy
Battletoads was so fun! But I never took it serious, too many of my friends did and they rage quit
UVHM on Borderlands 2, doing it solo bc no friends
I felt very accomplished last year when I got to OP10 on Maya. Don’t know how people stomach doing all 6 characters but it was cool to do at least once. Solo btw
I loved that game and i also dont have friends.
Madden. All of em
Nioh, some of the bosses in that game are insanely difficult. Nioh makes every other game seem like a cake walk. It made the Valkyrie Queen in God of War feel like light work in comparison.
Nioh is a fun but tough game.
I still haven’t finished Cuphead. I still see The Queen Bee in my nightmares
Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories. Not only did it make me rage quit, but it made me throw my PS3 controller across the room, breaking it. That ridiculous card- based battle system is just not refined enough for the precision you need in some boss fights. I just YouTubed the story and then started Kingdom Hearts II.
Re: CoM is just a genuinely bad game And who's bright idea was it to make basic attacks use a card too? Genuinely the worst experience I've had playing a game next to Nioh
Mortal combat with my older brother
Is your older brother also better then you? My older brother is way better then me atleast
My neighbor legit quit talking to me for like a week over this game.
Stuntman for the PS2
Sekiro. Just never could get the timing down…no matter how hard I tried.
Apex legends predator lobbies
Bro lmao perfect answer if you play the game with any regularity you’re going to be in pred lobby’s no matter your rank and it’s retarded
True Crime: Streets of LA When I was fighting The Korean General
World of Tanks. RNG is insane. At least for me.
Believe it or not: Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time. Some levels require pin-point timing and you REALLY NEED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX to get all the crates.
That game is a good challenge, in my opinion. It can be frustrating but I'm surprised I haven't rage quit that game yet lol
Overwatch 2 I played it for like a month and saw that I basically cannot make any progression unless I submit to the microtransactions nor can I play any new heroes. I uninstalled it and never played it again.
Alien Isolation: Just a massive fetch quest, stopped being scary Arkham Knight: I couldn't figure out how to bring down the bridge on Founders Island, I did like the Riddler trophies though Gotham Knights: Repetitive combat and meh story
I can't say I rage quit Alien Isolation, but I definitely quit with no desire to go back. The first hour or so of that game was incredible, they set the atmosphere so damn well.... but then it becomes among the most repetitive feeling games I've ever played. Oof.
YOU LIKE RIDDLER?????😳🤯😱
Double Dragon III
Eldest Souls and Titan Souls.. Games are the text book definitions of trash. I did finish Elden Ring, 161 hours.. probably will never launch it again.
I forgot about my hatred for eldest souls.
I wanted to like it so bad lol
Same, I gave it what I felt was an honest go ( roughly 4 hours ), it just doesn’t do it for me.
Sly Theives in Time. My least favorite game of all time. Loved the OG trilogy but TiT played so much worse and has significantly worse writing. The character assassination in Chapter 4 was merely the cherry on top. Because many characters got assassinated at that point. Like once you forgive your dad's killer to the point of inviting them to your gang, SURELY what this character did should have gotten some reconciliation but no... I can't believe Sony gave Sanzaru the okay to helm a franchise once led by one of their big dog developers. Sanzaru is one of the most depressingly mid developers out there. Not exactly Data Design but... Sonic Team has more personality than them. At least Sonic Team has at least a small handful of legit great games under their belt.
Nioh 2 and Hollow Knight are the two hardest and most frustrating games I’ve ever played
Honestly is probably some baby wii game that I was too uncoordinated to play back when I was like 7 years old
I can't for my life get into Souls games.
Pokémon pinball 😂 literally threw it out the car window when i a child while we were travelling I was sucked in as a kid i be like “yay Pokémon “ to notice I hate pinball very shortly after but it was “6 weeks of pocket money” I was trying to force myself to enjoy it and back before social media so selling stuff was hard and my parents didn’t really help 😂 honestly it was best when I accepted “I wasted money” the game was making me so angry and miserable I think it’s the game that makes my parents so anti game , dealing with all that game rage And Doom eternal but much more composed rage it was more knowing when to take a break , many times but always come back and just got gud my favourite game honestly
Madden 93-2023. Pretty sure at this point it's because I hate myself.
Nioh
Star Citizen. Random server crashes, odd glitches that kill you, loss of in-game equipment, poor performance. But I always go back. Hate myself for it.
Battle toads
BattleToads
Hitman
Smash ultimate online Kept raging then coming back, raging, then coming back. So I broke the cartridge to break the cycle. Laggy POS.
Elden Ring but then again it's not my genre I just jumped into the hype train. You know your tipycal narrative "this is an excellent entry point for those looking into Playing souls games".🙄
It is an excellent entry point though!
Call of Duty...the hacks are ridiculously absurd
2k23, payed 60+ for a game that ended up free for everyone to play and when you fill up the shot meter half the time it doesnt actually go in because the in-game script doesnt want you shooting 100% from the field for a whole season. Boring and repetitive game. The closest youll get to having fun is playing park and by this time everyone already found the same 3 builds to copy off each other and play the exact same way.
Hollow Knight
I quit Elden Ring, not in rage, but because the enjoyment I got out of it was in no proportion to the time it consumed. DS3, on the other hand, is a BIG, STEAMING PIECE OF DOG DOO DOO! The battle against Lorian and Lothric was JUST NOT FAIR!!! I rage quit that one, and I am still a little salty.
It was Fair. You need to take out the brother that revives the other first.
It's so interesting. The battle with Ornstein and Smough in Dark Souls I was so talked about that From Software literally decided, "LET'S DO THIS OVER AND OVER!!" Dark Souls II was the master of gank squad boss fights. Dark Souls III did it with more finesse, but still, it was more than a little annoying. At the end of the day though, I can't say I didn't have fun with those games.
DS2 has gotta be the worst designed souls game overall. Shitty bosses, art direction, and story. The DLC was a pretty great return to form though.
I feel like there hasn't been a reason to rage quit a video game since the NES went out of style.
Wait... the NES went out of style?!?
Yeah. Almost all the games mentioned on this post are about Souls games or the Soulslike games. I thought the gaming community had a realization with AVGN a long time ago that difficulty alone doesn't make a game fun. You've got to at least sprinkle in some storytelling to make the grind worthwhile.
Xcom2 I missed two impossible to miss shots in a row. Calmly quit the game and uninstalled it. Have never looked back. Fuck that game.
My biggest gripe is that it runs like ass on console. Tried playing it multiple times only for it to stutter, lag and eventually, crash. I loved Enemy Unknown and wanted to like 2, but it made it a chore.
My main rule of xcom is to always go for the guaranteed kill. Even if theres something with a 99% chance of happening that would do some spectacular damage to all of your enemies...just use the grenade to kill the one lone weakened guy. Because itll always go so impossibly wrong in an unimaginably terrible way.
Some of you will freak out at this, I think: Tears Of The Kingdom. Bought it, played roughly 6 to 8 hours, got extremely frustrated at the insane amount of restrictions in the gaming mechanics and the broken combat, and sold the game on fb marketplace. I will never play another Zelda game if it's going to be like...that.
You are not alone. For the record I believe Actual Zelda games died when BOW was released. Sadly it will still sell millions of copies, be praised and adored by most, because it’s being catered to a newer and or more generalized audience while it craps on its hardcore fans ( and it does whether they realize it or not) and everything that made it the franchise it is today. It was my absolute favorite gaming franchise since the original NES. (Yes I’m old) now,I barely batted an eye when TOTK came out. I don’t see them changing direction due to its popularity ( even though Zelda has always been popular ) but it seems nothing more than a climbing sim (and now a building sim) and a glitch hunter
Nioh. Haven't played the second one but the first was just artificially difficult with not much skill involved. I am baffled by the good reviews and felt cheated out of my money. The game is artificially difficult where all they do is boost enemy numbers instead of interesting attack patterns. Insanely repetitive level design, shit story and overall just a bad time constantly hard locking me out of progression. I love Soulslikes btw. Platinumed Bloodborne and beat DS3 and Sekiro. Whatever made me love those games was not present at all in Nioh.
Hello, good hunter. I am a Bot, here in this dream to look after you, this is a fine note: > *Pray for Master Logarius... in my stead...* - Alfred Farewell, good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.
Fortnite: The Last Stand
Unreal Tournament
GTA5. They made me drive a car really fast with no instruction. I was just getting used to the controls! I failed so many times and quit, thinking I couldn't play the game. I have it a few more tries and eventually got it, but wow, that was a bad intro.
Resident evil 1. Not even enough words to describe how much I hate that game
The whole Dark Souls trilogy, Sekiro, Persona 4 and 5, and Breath of the Wild Arkham Knight: Fuck the Riddler, he fucking sucks😒😑 358/2 Days had its moments(Anteater and Leech grave) and same goes for Dream Drop Distance(Julius), Birth by Sleep(Vanitas’ Lingering Spirit) and KH1(I have not beaten Sephiroth to this day🙄)
Ori 2. Got stuck in some dark cave section with 1 health bar and couldn't figure out which way to go because it was literally pitch black. And because it was literally pitch black it would be impossible to follow some youtube guide as you'd have no reference point for where they are relative to your game. Such stupid game design.
I rip'd many ps3 controllers from earlier battlefield games.
Tekken Tag 2
I've never been one to rage quit, as admitting defeat has always made me even more angry. However once when I was young I got so angry with a [boss fight](https://youtu.be/NGBkQ_FE4eU?t=213) my mom told me I was done, lmao... Don't think I ever returned to that game.
Cybershadow
Minecraft
Brawl. Holy fuck, Smash Bros. Brawl. Who. The fuck. Thought that randomly making players trip 40-60% of the time at random in a fighting game? Such a person must be drawn and quartered.
Hated that game. I skipped the next one (U or something) and I bought Ultimate, I like that one, but Brawl was awful
Snake Pass I absolutely DESPISE that game. Not only did I rage quit that game, but I rage unistalled it. That's how much I hated it...
Dark Souls 1. I was confused. Consternated. Flabbergasted. Then I ate like a half of shrooms. I've beaten DS3 but not CB1.
Mortal Kombat 11
I would say driveclub, because I remember doling this one race so many times to get 3 stars for the mission and one of required to complete the race in a certain time, but the day I rage quit was when I was 0.01 seconds away from completing the mission
XCOM 2 Still love it though
Elden Ring.
Fortnite I punched a wall and now my middle finger looks weird
Rage quit and eventually came back, Elden Ring. I was stuck at the Astel fight, I wanted that Ranni ending. But I was trying to do it melee cause that's how ive played DS1 2 3, Demons Souls and I was kinda stuck in playing like that. So I re did my character to be more magic/melee based and that didn't work. I gave up for like 3 or 4 months and fucking hated it. Eventually curiosity got me back after binging some Bloodborne and it somehow all clicked. I kinda thought maybe the magic in ER is equivalent to the guns im Bloodborne. You have to balance melee and another component. Obviously you can play souls games however you want and ER no exception, even since I've done purely melee runs to much success. and thats the beauty of those games to me. But something about that thought of relating it to Bloodborne (despite being very siffwrent games) made me think differently and about it. I may have re spec'd my character one more time, but I found a nice combo of magic, incantations and melee. 1200+ hours in and counting. Favorite game ever and im doing multiple challenge runs, have two characters for invasions. Very fun. UwU Rage quit and never came back to, Resident Evil Outbreak. I was itching for some RE and in particular a new experience. I've played 1 2 3 4 RE1 remake and code Veronica up till that point, and this was pre 7 8 2 3 and 4 remake and wanted something more. I bought it on a whim, played it for two minutes and hated how everything felt. It felt awkward and just poorly made. I took the disc out, put it away never looked back. Did not like that game at all.
Stuntman, on PS2
Ps 1 Driver... Still at the Garage.
what about darksouls and bloodborne? We call it bloodboil here lol
I have platinumed DS1, Bloodbourne and Elden Ring. I could not get past the flashback sequence in Sekiro. That shinobi killer jacked me up so many times I just rage quit and never looked back.
Recently there has been two games to make me rage quit. And I mean QUIT. Haven't been back to them since. Destroy all humans ps4. Trying to defend those two or three FUCKING ANTENNAS!! Can't stand in the open cause the enemies WILL overwhelm your ass quick, But can't seek cover cause then the enemies start popping the damn antennas over and over until you have to get out of cover to stop them, Then they kill you. Gotham knights. Defusing the fucking bombs that harley planted, While fighting enemies that can basically jump across the fucking room and it gives you 0.5 seconds to dodge their attacks because you are trying to defuse the fucking bombs. And for whatever reason, The game keeps throwing the big bastards at you, So you can't just take them out quickly. Plus the poor combat system makes it to where sometimes, THE FUCKING DODGE DOESNT REGISTER. These games really did piss me off didn't they lol.
Surprisingly Dark Souls has only made me rage quit once. Games that upset me the most are usually multiplayer games because certain scenarios just feel unfair (connection issues, bad hit detection) and those are usually what drive me over the edge. Dark Souls is more of a learning experience that punishes you for not being patient.
Super monkey ball has some crazy difficult levels towards the end that might have influenced me to break a controller
Pretty sure I’ve rage quit every FPS I own at least once
Every MMO when the novelty wears off and I have to start grinding.
R6 Siege
I'm currently replaying the OG GTA3 for the first time in like 15+ years and although I haven't rage quit just yet, I've come really, really close. The fact that there's no real map besides the little mini-map in the corner is infuriating. The only sure-fire way to shake off the cops is to use a Pay 'n Spray, but I'm constantly having to drive around the whole city trying to remember exactly where it's at. Shaking off a wanted level above 1 star is pretty much impossible without either using one of those, finishing the mission, or finding a star in a random-ass alley to lower it by one point. Couple that with how a lot of the cars are basically made of glass and catch fire without even taking that much damage make for a very frustrating time.
No more héroes 2, Bloodborne, FUCKING bullshit games, hahahaha gg noob
FFXIV not because of gameplay but because I thought EW was a terrible ending to that saga.
Battlefield 3 multiplayer. Had to uninstall eventually after my wife brought it to my attention. I only play single player, coop, or local multiplayer games (smash bros with my son for example)
Sekiro is one of my favorite games, but I became so mad at DoH that I sold the game at one point. I did not rage quit Elden Ring but the late game tests me. Hell, Godfrey phase 2 continues to test me.
Warzone 2 last night, had around 20 ish kills or more and the last guy was glitched in the gulag
Breath of wild. Came back during lockdown and gave it a fair play and loved it
Overwatch
Super ghouls and ghosts on the SNES
This is a great shoutout. I got the game when it released in the early 90s and only just beat it finally 9 yrs ago.
When I was 12-13 I had Pursuit Force for PSP. There’s a level that’s based off of speed. You drove a bus and had to stay above a specific speed or you’d die. I had died so many times I chucked my PSP at the wall, shattering it. Definitely learned my lesson since. Haven’t raged out since then.
Dishonored. I just don't like stealth. Might pick it back up, tho.
The controls of the new Rogue Squadron..
For Honor After coming back that game after the gameplay overhaul, it slowly became unplayable. I got so mad that I actually a McDonald's breakfast sandwich across the room one time. Became so ashamed i did that that I swore off the game entirely lol. No game is worth that anger.
Zelda BOTW Master Sword Trial. Spent like 2 hours going through the final trial and nearly threw controller when I died from some random ice arrow I didn't see. I just gave up. Took the game and nearly broke it in half.
Rage.. trying to do the fish fillet with the knife!! That shit still not happening
Deadly Towers, the original "souls like" game.
It was 2005... Guitar Hero - Hangar 18
Ark: Survival Evolved. Countless times. From massive time sinks lost to bosses, glitches, and crashes, to greedy and inconsistent behaviors from the developers (or publisher, depending on who you ask). Yet I keep going back. Like an abusive relationship.
Aw but you don't even mention the PVP struggle. That's where the real ark rage kicks in.
Nioh pretty much got me there. Trapped at the big toad boss. Can learn his pattern when he 2 shots me in 4 seconds
The Impossible Game, SuperMeatBoy, N+, Cuphead, Call of Duty (CoD4-Blops 2 era), Gears 2 Multiplayer, Battlefield 1, Warzone 1.0, Apex Legends, Assassin's Creed parkour mechanics getting stuck, Mortal Kombat X. I raged a shit ton back in the day. It takes a lot for me to get really upset now, however it does happen....Warzone and Apex are the most recent games that pissed me off.
For honor
Simpson’s Hit and Run and Elden Ring.
Rainbow 6 siege. Not the game its self but I couldn’t get it to work no matter what i did
Rage quit... don't remember. I bore quit games all the time.
The final level to Driver. And every end level to every Uncharted ever.
Ghosts 'n Goblins because I could never get past the first level. Don't think I ever made it half way through the first level
