Anger management

[KWZX10]

...Honestly i'm always relaxed when i play on gt, it's the game that i use when i have a bad day.
Well, if someone smash me when i'm racing online the "**** YOU" is there instantly, but nothing more.

I get angry only on games like battlefield (i don't know why), but i don't destroy anything anyway LOL

I never break anything if the game, whatever game that may be, frustrates me. That being said, my ds3 stopped working in the middle of 24h of Nurburgring, so I twisted it apart. I knew it was on its way out but still, I was a little angry. Whatever, live and learn.

Never been angry enough from playing GT5 to do anything but I did kick a hole in my wall one time after losing a match in Street Fighter. Patched it up later easily enough though. The whole time I was fixing it I was laughing at myself.

I just seen that myself. NASCAR said. "Boys have at it." Well, there ya go, lol. Not a Jeff Gordon fan, but I can't say I blame him for getting pissed. Boywer has been asking for it all year. Gordon should have waited tho and taken care of things in the garage area. Not a big fan of wrecking cars to pay back someone.

I guess it does go back to Martinsville way back earlier in the year. I felt like Newman kinda forced Bowyer's hand on that late restart, though. He was trying to fend him off and accidentally took out Gordon. But the initial late race contact at Phoenix was just hard racing. No way should Gordon have been that angry about that. He should have known better than to do what he did. Several innocent drivers got taken out in that mess and could have been hurt. I will say it was fun to watch Bowyer sprinting to Gordon's hauler.

I either quit the game or get revenge on other cars. The lamborghini seasonal made me so mad after many attempts and only getting 2nd I drove backwards down the final straight and hit the lead muira head on at 180 mph, I haven't even tried that race again since the first week it came out because I know it's just gonna piss me off.

Learn to control your temper otherwise gaming is going to get pretty expensive for you. I know them Turtle Beach's arn't cheap.

It was quite a while ago when I was a tryhard on CoD... I don't take the game seriously any more so we're all good

NASCAR is so entertaining for that sort of stuff ... and the language on the radio I have a whole playlist of that (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL99B5EB2A7A55E8C7) but my favorite along the lines of this thread is this:

The only game that made me so mad I ejected and then broke the disc was Midnight Club 2, which has vile AI that deliberately smash into you. After the 50th time in a row, even a patient man becomes a bit miffed. Fist to wheel started with the lovely G25 ("PIECE ... OF ... MONKEY ... 🤬") and its rubbery feedback, and has continued through two DF GT wheels which have exactly the same rubbery feedback along with weak plastic. The only game that made me throw the controller was the ambulance mission in Vice City... you know, when you've just spent 20 minutes of fastidious careful driving and that last patient runs into your vehicle and dies, failing the mission 🤬

I think even if you're a "grown-ass man" and should have control of your temper, games are deliberately designed with a bit of frustration factor in them (because it makes them more addicting). As long as you only take out said anger on inanimate objects and are willing to pay for the damage your hissy fits incur, some game rage is normal. But learn some self-control, wussy (at least that's what I tell myself

GT5 is not frustrating in-game, menus are.

Sometimes i get mad enough that i would punch the TV, in my mind

In your mind? That doesn't count, I commit unspeakable acts of behaviour on a daily basis in my mind, far more disturbing than imagining trashing a TV but only because it's kept within the confines of my mind.

 

[thelvynau]

My brother is the funniest I sit back and watch him scream and swear at a game and swing and grip the controller around I find myself in fits of laughter over it.

GT1 was a very violent game for me, back then I did a lot of 2-player split screen races with friends and flatmates and it was accepted behaviour to physically punch your opponent hard if you got overtaken or when you were behind, there's a lot of nostalgia on this forum for both GT1 and GT2 but I mostly remember the bruises and agony.

 

[MoLiEG]

When I get mad while playing (regardless of the game) I throw away my controller real hard...

 

[hazellnut134]

Broke my DFGT RA Button... The good thing is it still works, and it works on touch

I just thought of that gaming scene in 40-yr-old Virgin LOL

 

[Dmarc_Atl]

I seriously thought of breaking my COD ,stomp it , wipe my butt with it, put in a envelope , spit in it and send to infinity Ward with a letter saying fix this s#!%. But I usually just drop the controller and leave the game playing. I did that on final round of gt academy , I just left wheel and let the car roll down a hill and crash. Funny next morning I beat it on 2nd try.

I think it's a generation thing going on here.

Back in the days of games such as Monty on the run, Thing on a spring, Gribleys day out, heck when Ghost 'n'Goblins had 3/5 men you just had to deal with it.

Never felt short changed in those days. They were/still crushing games and very few ever saw the grand finale ( Congratulations mostly ) before getting kicked back to the start to "Clock the game" again.

Achievements my arse. It was about how many times you could clock scramble ( 3 times my record ) for 10p

Your bloody Molly coddled nowadays. Throwing controllers and sulking. Tut tut.

I remember getting pretty pissed while playing Mike Tyson's Punchout on Nintendo NES. Especially when that one guy did his gorilla dance and started laughing at you or taunting you I guess it was, lol. I had a couple small pillows on the couch that I would end up throwing at the cheap ass TV I had back then, lol. Never broke anything tho. Pretty calm these days tho. Guess its an age thing.

Got an Image of Nelson Piquet and Eliseo Salazar in Hockenhiem in 1982...
James Hunt got a bit, punchy, after stepping out of a car at times.

Never had any anger issues myself, Tend to limit my anger to breaking Lap Records... (ouch!)

I did break my old Tomb Raider CD on the PS (Used for original Gran Turismo) I hadn't put the disk in the track properly, shut the lid and the rack of gears chewed the edge of the disk, and broke a chunk of it off... but the Game would still work despite missing a nibble of disk.

Funny old game.

Good point..

 

[sumbrownkid]

I just fire up GTA4 if I get angry.

 

[HondaS800]

I've broken a few controllers during my years of GT.

 

[mrkevans]

I am ashamed to admit it but playing cod online resulted in a smashed controller! Dam awful game full of campers ect, thank god I discovered battlefield

 

[Damon Hill]

Nothing.

I'm a grown man and don't smash up electronics when I don't get my own way.

👍

When i was a youngster i raged quite a bit with games like: Street Fighters or Sensible Soccer, playing with my brother 10 years older than me was quite an anger managment challenge i guess : P

 

[Gejabo]

I've never broke anything in anger while gaming.
Although I tend to get pretty pissed sometimes.
But I can remind myself that it's just a game.

Friend of mine broke his Fifa'12 disk.
Threw his controller away, ejected the disk, broke it in half and out the window it went.
we still make fun of him about it

 

[KBRacing2488]

I broke a Playstation 2 a year ago. I was mad because it didn't work anymore. I remember having some good times with it, so I decided to let it go honorably. I smashed it, set it on fire, and buried it in a hole with my hand over my heart. Deserving way to go, no?

On topic, I don't usually break thingss when i get mad.

 

[The Bman]

I broke an HD television, two PS3 controllers, multiple laptop screens, and a PS1 disc that I had.

Thing is, I can't control my temper when I get angry as it 'takes control' of me, you know what I'm saying? It pretty much makes it so I can't control myself, leading to me doing stupid things. I'm taking medicine to help, but does that work? Hardly. Therapy? Nope, since I forget easily, keep so many things inside my mind, and have trouble understanding. Nothing seems to be working.

You've got some issues dude, glad to see you acknowledge them and you're working on them.

Not an issue for me. I've sworn at people on the screen but never into the mic that's just rude.
