Getting so pissed at video games...

[Guest CED Ordonez]

The worst I get is slamming the controller down. Since I play in my bedroom, it always hits cushion, which severely reduces the potential for permanent and irreversable damage.

 

Grrrrr....No Mercy counter system on hard mode.

[Guest Memphis]

Sonic & Knuckles on Genesis:

 

I am Knuckles. I've already blitzed the game as Sonic and scored the ending. I figure that going through with Knucks is worth it if an alternate ending will be shown. So I spend roughly 5 hours of my Sunday morning (my 'decompressing' time) going back and forth. I finally make it to the very end and face Evil-Mecha-Nasty-Asshole-Sonic.

 

One hit left to finish him.

 

One life left.

 

No rings.

 

Guess what happend?

 

One broken controller later and I was a very relieved little boy.

I have not broken a system since the old NES systems were out. And I broke two computer games, but neither one was exactly that memorable.

 

Nowadays, I have mellowed on my game playing. I won't break a game if it holds my interest. On the other hand, if I am getting pissed at it and it doesn't hold my interest I just quit and move on. Nothing I hate worse than a RPG that decides to sell itself on complicated random battles, while refusing to GET TO THE FUCKING POINT with the story. I guess that's what the off button's for.

It took you five hours? I hope you at least got all the emeralds.

*chuckles* Ah. The ol' RPG games that have no fucking point to them, yet they could've been so great.

 

Hence why they should be destroyed, like Legend of Dragoon.

I'd bet it was with emeralds. Cause five hours is a little long.

[Guest Slingshot Suplex]

Youth's first post makes me laugh every time I read it.

 

For the record,I was not pissed over the whole losing to Hogan thing. Well, I was, but the conversation became a parody over the fact that I have broken stuff before. There was never any actual danger of throwing or breakage.

 

Never let it be said that sometimes violence is not fun though.

[Guest Heel In Peril]

How many people actually break shit when they lose?

...

Your temper ever lead you to break controllers? Games? Systems?

No. And I hate it when people do it to my things. "I HAD a BAD experience."

 

<----Bitter about that.

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

One broken SNES controller here. Couldn't tell you how it got that way though.

 

I have gotten so overjoyed at winning that I've hurt myself. Most notably was beating my cousin at NCAA Football 2003 (after we'd been talking shit about our respective talents) 17-14 as Tennessee over Nebraska by completing a 73 yard TD pass with 0:02 left in the game. I was so happy that I leapt up off of the couch and busted my head open on the overhead light fixture (the ceiling is about seven to eight feet tall). I collapsed immediately and figured I just had a lump or something, but after my cousin left I felt blood trickling down my forehead and realized I'd hit the bolt that the glass screws onto on the fixture. Still, despite bleeding from the head, it was a great victory.

[Guest Zack Malibu]

My half-brother, a devout Bruins freak, was playing NHL '96 on Sega some years back. When his beloved team lost to someone (I want to say it was the Penguins, one of the teams he despises), he proceeded to kick his TV screen in.

 

I think I ran up the long distance bill on my phone simply laughing at him.

 

EDIT:He wasn't a kid either, at the time he was about 27 or so.

[Guest Angle-plex]

I just usually tell the TV to go fuck itself and do something else.

Its still pretty damn long, I finished Sonic and Knuckles and Sonic 3 with all chaos and super emeralds in one sitting in just under 3 hours.

Indeed. I had accomplished EVERYTHING you could possibly accomplish.

 

Plus, I'd fuck up occasionally, hit the pause button, throw down the controller, perform the king of all hissy fits for about a half hour, then return.

 

Eh, Evil Sonic is bad ass.

EDIT: I should also mention this was 8 years ago, I was only 10.

 

Imagine the rage im packing NOW.

After getting double perfected against by the computer controlled Sagat back in the Street Fighter II days with a lot of people watching me, I got pissed enough to kick and dent the coin return. Guess who never saw the inside of that arcade ever again?

[Guest evilhomer]

A video-game-anger related question, who here has taken a game out from the system and broken it into pieces?

I did that to my copy of No Mercy. Turns out it was a glitched copy, it took over a year for the glitch to show up, but when it did it came with a vengeance; at some points it seems like the memory was erasing every time I turned it on. I was super pissed the first time it erased because I had everything completed, a bunch of CAW's, and every wrestler edited just the way I liked them, this was countless hours of work. I was able to salvage my CAW's from a game pack, but all my editing was lost.

 

So I did some studying and found where it was usually erasing (at some points with certain wrestlers in career mode). With this in mind, I carefully went through the career mode again and thought I found a way around the glitch. I got to about 90% complete and only had to finish up the World champ block. In the meantime, I gained some confidence and re-edited all the wrestlers, bought all the moves/costumes, and brought my CAW's back in, again, countless hours of work.

 

So I was pretty sure the game was ok, I had done all this and the memory was sticking. Then in World Champ, it got to the point where Steven Richards comes out. I notice that he's wearing his RTC gear, and has the RTC music. I think that's strange but nothing really occurs to me. I end that match, go to save and it freezes up. I shut it off, plug it back in and find that everything was lost again. Without thinking I grabbed it and smashed it on the floor into multiple pieces.

 

I miss the game, but I'm afraid to buy a new used one because I figure it will be glitched as well.

[Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly]

When I get pissed at a game, I just yell obscenities at the top of my lungs. No sense in breaking the game and not being able to win next time.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

Every copy of No Mercy was defective, which is too bad cause it's fun otherwise.

[Guest Jubuki]

Let's see...

 

One SNES

One copy each of: Sonic Pinball for Sega Genesis, Madden 95, Ivan Stewart's Off-Road Racing, Street Fighter 2 for SNES, & NHL 95 (the last 3 were rentals)

2 - *two* - copies of NBA Showdown (I wasn't thrilled with shooting 35% behind the arc with Pippen)

Two Genesis controllers

 

It became easier to stop breaking stuff once I was paying for it.

[Guest Flyboy]

Bullshit. My copy was never defective.

[Guest Bannable Offense]

Then consider yourself one of the very fortunate ones, Flyboy.

[Guest Human Fly]

Never thrown a controller or a game, but I have found "rearranging" furniture to be very therapeutic.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

One of the few then. The 2 copies I had at different times were. The 2 copies my brother had were, and everyone else I knew that had one had problems with the save...your time will come

[Guest Flyboy]

No, it won't. I've played No Mercy for years and never had a problem. I never got the bug, but that's neither here nor there since I don't even play it anymore.

[Guest eiker_ir]

i've ALMOST broken my N64 controller while playing NM or WM2000, trying to finish the game.

 

You know when they counter EVERY damn move you do, i got so frustrated and started cursing like '' motherfuckers!! why did u make this game!?! i hate you bastards!!!! whaaaa!!!!!''

[Guest BookerTman]

I've had No Mercy since it came out (quite awhile) and it never fucked up on me so I guess it isn't glitched. Or is it?

One time, while waiting for three of my friends to come over and play No Mercy, I set up an exhibition match between Bret Hart (CAW) and the European Champion. Now the thing about the Euro champ, was that I had another CAW holding it last before I deleted him and instead of reverting back to the default holder, it showed the champ as being "???" and he had one of those CAW graphics for a pic. I was curious as to it'd be so I selected it and picked the Hitman and then when it went to the next screen I saw that it was an old CAW who I'd deleted a few weeks earlier. On top of that, it was the flaming homosexual guy with the chick face and the pink dress (please don't ask!). I wrestled the guy and beat him for the title.

 

I was baffled as hell about it for awhile after that, I mean, how the fuck could that possibly happen?!

 

As for the original topic, the worse I did was slam a SNES controller into the floor. My brothers were a lot more abusive however and one of them destroyed my N64 controller into a few hundred pieces, I was really pissed and got into a fight with him over it.

I started playing No Mercy again not long ago and now I'm fighting Test in career mode. I've got to take him on in a cage match and I just have to make him BLEED in order to advance. Unfortunately, the stupid cocksucking motherfucking piece of fucking shit refuses to bleed!!!!!! J.C. I FUCKING HATE THAT ASSHOLE! The last time I tried to get him to bleed, the match went over 40 minutes with me bashing his face into the cage and shit. I made him bleed before in other matches but now that I have to make him bleed...OK I have to stop before I really lose it.

 

Test

[Guest BookerTman]

I bitch and whine here about Test not bleeding, and right after that, I plugged my 64 in, put in No Mercy and 30 seconds later Test has blood on his face...about time because I would've broke my 64 if the match went more than half an hour again.

[Guest Skironox]

Oh yeah, I've definitely punched and stomped my fair share of controllers back in the day. The closest I actually came to breaking a controller was when I died in Star Ocean 2 after being killed by the Yetis in the ice mountain (I didnt save). It kind of made the analog stick jam and not move. It just took alot of wiggling to fix it tho.

 

Now I just take my aggression out on my refridgerator or a file cabinet.

No, it won't. I've played No Mercy for years and never had a problem. I never got the bug, but that's neither here nor there since I don't even play it anymore.

That's because THQ only fucked up a few of the original cartridges. I had the unfortunate luck of picking up a faulty one and contacted THQ straight away.

 

Apparently, they hauled a shitload of newbies over from Japan that were in perfect working order to replace all the faulty ones accidentally released.

 

Ah yes, I've yet to find something wrong with that country.
