Ragequitting.

[bluestarultor]

I generally don't do this, but I just put down Rogue Galaxy within an hour of trying it. It's not that the game isn't playable, but for God's sake, your party takes hits like a bitch. You go through items like air.

Here's what happened:
1. Jaster gets a mysterious companion.
2. Jaster's companion is replaced by a couple idiots.
3. Idiots make Jaster fight a boss battle by his lonesome and soak up the EXP.
4. Idiots leave.
5. Jaster gets killed in the next random encounter.

Like, seriously, game, if you're going to make me do a Zelda power spin just to hurt an enemy, it would be nice if every hit didn't cancel the whole thing. It also would have been nice if MY hits had somehow canceled THEIR power spin attack, but apparently Sand Turtles got turned around and ended up on this Godforsaken ball of sand instead of finding their way to the Mushroom Kingdom, because the first they lunge at you with their shells atwirl, you're pressed back and half your life is gone.

Like, seriously, I just killed a bloody DRAGON that gave me less trouble than a simple turtle and a pair of cacti all piling on. Because the dragon, despite setting me on fire several times, at least had the decency to take damage without me having to spin-attack him.

This wouldn't have been so bad if there's just been a bloody SAVE POINT after killing the damn thing, but no, apparently that's not enough of a milestone, despite it having been a three-part battle. So I got wiped out trying to backtrack and save my progress.

So to Rogue Galaxy: come the fuck on! ONE bloody save point.



Post your own frustrations.

I ragequit Persona 4 for a couple hours when one of the final minibosses confused my entire party with one move and then Megadolaon'd us into the ground. It was doubly frustrating because AFAIK personas can't be immune to status ailments in Persona 4, but demons in Nocturne could be.

Every now and again, when playing ME, I ragequit for a while thanks to the Mako.


Hmm.

I am sure there are other games that have infuriated me. I will come back to this later.

Last game I ragequit to the point of never touching it again, was actually Mini Ninjas, that stupid avalanch...

On the other side, this is my prefered method of winning RTS matches. Oh nothing more entertaining then destroying their con yard and resource factory then sitting back and watch as they try and use finite resources to try and fight back. Of course just before they become a threat I blast that army too. Taunting "hey I even allowed you to build up an army, why are you mad". As a rule they ragequit before I get bored tormenting them.

I rage-quit Final Fantasy Adventure for the Gameboy.

"Palm trees and eight"....my ass!

Hang in there, Blues. Rogue Galaxy gets better once you start to actually keep a regular party of "helpers." It's nice because they do their own thing, but will ask you before using items and special attacks so you can keep the idiotic AI item-wasting at a minimum.

Granted, I've never finished the game because the final boss fight always kills me and makes me ragequit. It's a really, really long fight with no savepoints.



Every session of New Super Mario Bros Wii ends in ragequittery, usually accompanied by repeated use of the word "HATE." This goes for both single and multiplayer games. That being said, it's still one of the most fun games I've played all year.


Jak 2 made me ragequit a lot. I do very poorly in timed minigames, and those make up most of Jak 2's gameplay. The timed missions are not very forgiving-- miss one curve on a racetrack and you're doomed. Lose track of what you're chasing after for a second and you're doomed. Mess up a jump on your hoverboard while under fire from enemies AND in the middle of a bunch of unexplainably lava-filled explosions, and you're doomed.

If you are not fucking with your "teammates" in the new Super Mario Bros. Wii, you are doing it wrong. That game is so much damned fun.

FF XIII I have officially decided fuck the first form of the final boss.

Lead dies = retry
Final Boss uses an attack that causes instant death
135% death immunity
Final Boss has instant deathed me 9 times with 135% death immunity, 3 times before doing so. 1 at 0%, 1 at 45% and 1 at 90%

Fuck you square for adding instant death to a game where if your leader dies you are screwed. FUCK YOU!

Yeah, I actually really like the suggestion system, because it means less hassle for healing, and the suggestions are generally pretty good.

It's not like items aren't practically falling from the sky, either. I just happened to be in a bad situation where I was out of action points and low on health, and then came the Blue Shell attack and WHAM. Didn't have a chance. I just beat the encounter, but it's difficult because of how easily they can corner you on the steps in front of the shop.

My brother got pretty far an age and a half ago, so I know it's a great game. It's just a mite frustrating to beat a boss and then get wiped out almost immediately by a random encounter.

Beating MMZ3 (megaman zero 3) on hard mode using only the buster.

Got up to the final stage... and that was it.

Still can't beat it to this day.
