VATS exists for the sole purpose of getting out a 10mm or Chinese pistol and chasing a raider through the wastes while ensuring that all of his limbs are crippled and his weapons are lost or broken.

Meh, using the scoped weapons is still better outside of vats, because you can hit enemies reliably from ludicrously far away outside of it, while inside of it the aiming is stupid and gives you low hit percentages.

Hell, I snipe people using the Dart gun. I dunno why I barely used the Dart Gun in my first playthrough, it quickly become one of my favorites when I started actually using it.

Ragequitting?

Me and my friends were playing some crazy warcraft 3 map and kicking the other team's asses.

Then out of nowhere they each had better things than all of us combined.

I was playing Dissidia the other day, fighting WoL in Ultimecia's Castle omega. I did BRV break to him. 120 BRV. We were level 100, so that's terrible. I then did it again later and got...230. I had saved up like 2k BRV, so I decided to attack him. I hit him with an HP attack and he then uses his combo that ends with Bitter End, doing BRV break on me and hitting me for...9999. He got 9.4k BRV at once. I should've saved a replay, it was just too overwhelmingly stupid.

I tend to ragequit a lot... but that's because I'm totally incompetent. At least when I quit I insult myself and my inability to do anything right rather than the other person being teh h4xz0r, a noob rusher, whatever, speaking from a Starcraft 2 perspective lately.

Sigh.

I had to ragequit God Hand a couple of times. Ended up ragequitting and not picking it back up when I tried to start a game on Hard after beating it my first time, and I couldn't beat the first level. But that's why the game is awesome.

Couldn't stand Midnight Club as it was not a racing simulator but a memorization game- remember the track perfectly because the game gives you no breaks. Rubber band AI which phases through buildings when you're far enough away, the fact that one crash, one measly stop or detour, and EVERY single other racer is now in front of you, including that one guy you shoved off a bridge. And then there's the harder levels where someone shoves you off a building and there's no way to get back up unless you restart the race.

Love F-Zero, but the harder levels are brutal! Final races, only 1 life, making a ludicrous jump that you have to hit just right....and while in mid-air another car bumps me off track and I die, and I have to start the entire circuit all over again. Blargh!

Old RPG Games in general for being balls hard, and not just for not being as user friendly, but as in Elder Scrolls first two games where you can die at the very beginning because of rats, because unless you used all your character creation points into agility and dexterity, irregardless of class, you can't hit them. and the take you down in five hits.

I hate professional games, that is multiplayer games that other players have down to an artform, because not only do they have a clear advantage over me, I have no way of getting better because I die almost instantly on spawn while they all have some sort of jump crouch slide.

It gets really bad when I go to my library commons and play Smash Brothers, and they not only participate in tournaments, but speak almost entirely in community speak "So I Uptilted wave dashed and punished his Fox, perfect shielded and managed to spike him for a win" and all use the controller in the most complicated way possible for button mashing. The best of them can kick my ass anyday , and the rest know some exploit or pattern that makes them tricky, and obviously they never play anywhere but final destination, no items, no low tier characters unless you're being silly.

I rarely ragequit games. Sometimes I'll give up the game for a day, but that's about as bad as it gets.

Eltargrim · 04-03-2010, 03:02 PM

I try to make people rage from L4D2 frequently. Me and a bunch of friends will all hit the same team, and depending on the mood we'll either try to steamroll the other team, or lead them along only to steamroll them later.

It is really quite fun, especially when we meet a group doing exactly the same thing. Then it actually gets competitive.

Yeah, sniping is fun. Y'know, if you're a wussy coward.

I prefer to be a raging inferno of chaos and destruction, myself. I am a whirling being of blades and bullets and hot plasma, more natural disaster than man. I reveal myself suddenly, charging the gates or leaping down on an encampment. Against the brunt of my charge, the first are mutilated and killed in an instant. Some, probably the snipers, flee while others feebly attempt to fight back, but too slow they raise their weapons - I am upon them and they are no match for my savagery. Gobbets and blood are sent flying all about, and terrified, pained screams like sweet music to my ears fill the wasteland. So great is my berserker rage that the very beasts heed its call and join in the destruction.

When everyone is dead and my appetite for destruction is sated, I feast on the heart's blood of any who provided sufficient challenge. The battlefield's remains are scarred and desolate even by Wasteland standards. That's when I know I'm finished.

But no, you should keep doing the sniping thing. Wouldn't want you to break a nail.

Ryong · 04-03-2010, 04:24 PM

I think you're not playing Fallout 3 there, man. I'm pretty sure you can't charge or be anything close to a whirl of blades...

But hey, imagination is a beautiful thing.

I'll go back to being an actual whirlwind of blades and death on Titan Quest, btw.
