7 Times We Rage Quit Games (And Did Really Stupid Things Afterwards) 

Has anyone else besides me ever experienced this phenomenon?: You rage quit a game because you try and fail over and over again to do a certain part and, usually in my case, you leave it for a week or longer and when you finally come back to the game, you get past this part on the first try. This makes you think: Why did this cause me trouble before?

Because of commenting so late, I don't think anybody will read this, but here is my story: I reaslised, that I shouldn't be throwing controllers on the ground or wall. So I've looked around and saw, that my bed had some kind of soft wall to it. So from this moment I always threw the controller to this soft spot = no sound, no controller damage. I did this until the controller bounced back right into my face.

I always thought that Rob was a good actor but it really came through in this video. At 10:04 where he rage quits and then goes through like 8 different emotions in 10 seconds and legitimately tears up and cries on command... Bravo Rob. Bravo.

The only thing almost as awesome as watching a Friday Feature is re-watching it two years later :) Thanks Rob!

I once managed to make my step brother rage so hard at halo 3 that he bit one of the analogue sticks off. Not even exaggerating. Was impressive really

No one can beat the rage scream of a ten year old on COD or GTA V those are just priceless

The worst rage i had was putting my Fifa 15 disc in the microwave... my microwave broke instead

A game where people squirm around against each other and then someone scores. And it's not me. Ah... nightclubs. Oh it's basketball. Um.

Rage quit Injustice 2 so hard I got a 30 minute bus ride to my closest retail store and traded it in for all of the Uncharted games. Happy I did :)

First, I rage quit. Then, I came back. Finally, I made progress. Soon after, I rage quit again.

After playing a very irritating hour-long session of Overwatch I was so mad that I had to throw something. My foresight said "throw your controller at the soft chair next to you so nothing will break," so I did.... and it bounced off of the chair and straight into my TV, destroying the pixels on one vertical half of the TV. FML.

I'm curious how many people would agree if someone were to mention missing a point blank shot in X-COM

watching Nathan rage in almost every one-on-onesie is always a joy

It could never be a true video about rage quitting without a guest appearance by Nath. Thank you, Rob, for understanding that and sharing this precious gem with us. "It's just a game where people squirm around against each other, then SOMEONE scores and it's not me!"

Queen Valkyrie in God of war 4. Man I was literally red with anger due to that leg stomp.

While playing dark souls 3 I was invaded by someone using a really crappy weapon and who was also lagging. I proceeded to get destroyed by said person and then taunted after they killed me. I had previously been eating a can of soup, and the pot with the remains of the soup were near me. I became so upset that I picked up the pot and started to use it as a hammer against my footrest, sending cold soup and the spoon flying scaring the literal piss out of my dog (who was sleeping in my room at the time) in the process.

A close friend does currently only buy white controllers instead of black ones! Why you may ask? Because black controllers always leave these ugly stains on the wall ....

I couldn’t beat vamp on metal gear solid 2 so I threw mashed potatoes and gravy at my ps2. Luckily I immediately wiped it off and it worked fine, years later while visiting my parents I could still see small stains from the brown gravy on the ceiling , a faint reminder of my rage quit.

Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper... I spent a solid forty-five minutes mulling through the first crime scene, which was only a couple meters wide and inescapable until you reconstructed the crime... I didn't know that... I walked, used Holmes vision, walked more, walked even more, and the entire time, my buddies are watching as dumbfounded as me. My blood pressure has gotten to the point that I can feel my pulse in the tops of my ears, and I finally turn to Watson, hoping desperately for some insight to some mechanic I was missing, and this guy looked me dead in the face and asked, "What are we doing, Holmes?" There was a moment of silence before one of my friends gave a dry laugh. I dropped the controller, looked at him and said "What are we doing, Watson? What are we doing, Watson!? WHAT ARE WE DOING, WATSON!!!?" as I feigned strangling my pal. For a while after that, it became a bit of a running gag that when I got irritated, one of my friends would stop and ask "What are we doing, Holmes?"

I don't know how many times i raged against Bloodborne/dark souls bosses, just keep on shouting at them, insults them, say the game is broken and when i finaly beat them just give them the biggest finger ever xD

Raged at dark souls........ Punched a hole in the wall

In thirty years I've never rage-quit a game, I just quietly and calmly stop playing. Unless it's the board game version of Monopoly, in which case someone else look for all the scattered pieces, sort the explosion of colourful money, and sellotape the board back together... I don't play Monopoly any more.

Rob you're a gem to the community, I've literally binge watched every single one of these top 7 features. Nothing brightens my day than to watch one of your videos with your hilarious voice over comments

Mortal Kombat on SNES... My sister sat behind me while we played 1vs1, being the cheeky bugger I decided to spam jump attacks to win over and over again. She got fed up and smashed her turbo controller into my head shattering it in the process. Good times.

Only game I rage quit was Bloodborne. I got so mad, because I was stuck at the final boss with only 2 blood vials. I tried for a few days, then got really angry and sold the game. Just to buy it again a few months later, because I actually like it lol

Nathan's rage at the end killed me!! I was legit in tears on the floor laughing! Hahaahaha

"Pillows are entirely unsatisfying things to punch" should be a prophecy

When I rage quit I just don't play it for a month and come back to it. Then I repeat

I have a habit of rage quitting, immediately feeling stupid, and going back into the game hot without sufficient cooldown, convincing myself I'll do it this time, as I get worse and worse at the bit as my blood pressure continues to spike

Can we take a minute to appreciate how good of a comedic Actor Rob Pearson is? The way he visibly conveys emotion you can tell he was definitely trained.

I once had a 12 hour streak going in FFV. The first time I ever played it way back when. I ran in to Omega Weapon and was completely wrecked. I was totally unprepared for that death machine. My last save was that 12 hours I previously stated. I calmly put the controller down, turned off the game and shelved it for a year.

I feel comforted to know I'm not the only grown man who bites things when he's rages. This includes controllers and my own skin lol.

Biting the controller.. Still do that cause my brain says breaking something is expensive and you just gotta take your anger out on something. Eating electronics it is. This usually combined with the 3am rage.

I usually flip the bird at the screen

I have two, First, Conker's Bad Fur Day (Remake) the Lava level. I basically took the controller outside, spun it around like a hammer throw, and smashed it against the house, shattering it everywhere. I left it there and grabbed my spare controller played again. Lost and kicked the console. Second. MGS5. I spent A DAY building the nuke, it finished building, and literally 10 seconds after it finished building someone snuck into my base, and fulton'd it and then turned off their internet connection so I couldn't get my F*ing Nuke back. I never went back to MGS5.

I remember when I accidentally deleted my 70 hour save file for Horizon Zero Dawn and threw my disc out the window. I totally regret that now😭😭

How convenient that this comes out the day after the Stormy Ascent DLC for Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.

My sister and I were playing psychonauts at the same time and I rage quit at the meat circus and she laughed at me for it so I did the next logical thing and hid the disk from her so she couldn't beat it

10:08 - When you unlocked a SUPER rare item/cosmetic in a game and your power goes out or surges before you hit Save.

Raged in souls 2....Save was corrupted...lost 110 level character, shed gentle tears...

Raged at my brother because I couldn't beat him at fighting games i cried alot when i was a kid now my bro is working overseas wish we could play some more when he visits Edit:(Hopefully with less crying and tantrums)

I've thrown controllers, broken disks, deleted games, given myself actual leg cramps, broken up real friendship, and destroyed my laptop.

These funny sequences in the middle are so hilarious all the times. I've watch all of the channels vids over 5 times each I think but yet the mum sequences are amazing. Good work Rob, you're the best

You think destroying the disc is bad? Try destroying your console. That bloody tank memory in Brotherhood was a nightmare.

Dave's reaction to Nathan rage quitting made my day

My "rage quit" story isn't truly rage quitting at all. After losing to one of the bosses on Dark Souls 3 for the millionth time (I forget which one now) I quit, and decided to vent my frustration. My parents came into the kitchen at midnight to find me aggressively making coffee cake while passive aggressively grumbling. The good part was that the coffee cake was delicious.

I have a terrible habit of pounding my fist with anger into my quadricep when overcome with gamers rage.

My brother and I used to love playing Star Wars Battlefront (the old one). We were both playing Imperial on Hoth, and my brother wouldn't stop shooting me when I was trying to take the bunker. I've never played with him since.

when I rage-quiet, or just get freakin angry at a game,I scream like a Banshee at the screen (oddly none of my neighbours had complained about it yet), sometimes smash the controller at my couch (as long as it does not bounce of to much, it keeps safe) and then go online to see if anyone else is totally pissed at that certain part of a game.

I remember once getting so frustrated going for gold on 150cc in mario kart 64. Then the phone rang which forced me to rage quit and answer the phone, in which i decided to greet this person with a good yelling. Mother was not best.pleased with me that day 😂

I was playing Mortal Kombat with my brother. He doesn't know how to play and so he doesn't do combos, he just sits and spams the same move over and over. I kept losing because I was too mad to think straight and counter him. I spiked the PS2 controller so hard off the floor it literally exploded. It was like a little bomb went off in it. There were bits of controller everywhere. I still find pieces of it every now and then.

The only game I remember ragequitting is Dark Souls. Oh the boss is one hit away from death ? "Here let me make you forget everything you know about the controls of this games , go ahead give it a heavy attack not the light one , no we don't want the FAST WAY OUT!!!" Or the legendary "Ok almost done with this portion of the game, it's been quite dif-LEDGE!!!!!!!!"

Am I the only one who has never raged this hard? Ever time I feel the tilt coming I put a hyped up music and that's it... I get very hyped and forget the tilt...

I was playing Crash Bandicoot 'N sane trilogy and I was on the hardest level in video game history...........the high road. I had got so mad that I threw my deodrant on the floor, it exploded and my room smelt like autumn flowers for days......

I remember that day, when I was playing Destiny 1 against another players, and with a friend. I was really bored and frustrated on Osiris because, there, it looks like the players are invencible (or I really suck). Then, to resolve things, I quited and put on that trick that makes u play online but looks like ur offline for others, so they couldn't bother me... Play against the mobs made me feel a lot better, headshots on them was like a walking on the beach on sunlight perfectly lighting me.

if someone is about to loose, or doing pretty terrible; send the following message; ''?'' guaranteed rage quit, or a hilarious response. did this too many times to be proud of. no regrets

I lost my temper at far cry 4 final mission and threw a plastic tub at the tv and broke the tv

Once when I was younger I raged so hard that I kept hitting the chair I was sitting on with my remote on impulse. Instead of hitting the space between my legs I hit my crotch and the frustration from the pain on top of mine with the game caused me to quit... What's worse is that now I don't even remember what game I was playing, I'm pretty sure it was an online game as I died super frequently, probably CoD.

I actually had to watch that bit at 10:04 a couple of times. That was an unexpectedly great acting job. I mean I figured rob could act a bit because he does videos, but it was...really solid. Lots of emotions there. Bravo rob.

Is it bad that I come straight to my computer on Friday to watch this..... I don't even own a Playstation....

1. CoD 2. Destiny Trials of Osiris 3. Destiny Oryx Raid with noobs 4. GTA V everywhere, every mode, everything.

Nathan's rage quit made me cry with laughter! Thank you for making my day that much less rage quitty

I once threw my controller away not knowing it was plugged into the ps4 so the next thing i know my ps4 is halfway across my room

Kingdom Hearts 2: "Dance, water, dance!" I was young and didn't know how to add skills, nor the point of AP. Lost SO many times!

Raged at TNA:IMPACT throwed the disc at the wall and it bounced off and hit me square in the nose.

i'm brasilian, learned english at about 8 years old, when i was 6 year old, i rage quited sly cooper 3 in a level that i had to read a map in an isolated island, i maneged to pass trough the game until that part without being able to read it, and tht's why i decided to learn english.

Back when I was in the navy, I was stationed in Sasebo Naval Base on board the Essex. For those who have been stationed on the Iron Gator and have suddenly had flashbacks like you were in 'Nam or Korea, I'm sorry. Back in late 2007 when the first game of a series most of you love called The Witcher first released, I picked it up right out the gate and tore into it. Pardon my heresy, but I found the game to be a frustrating, infuriating, and unplayable mess of bugs, clunky and awkward controls, and slow plot that has about as much pull as the overarching plot of the original Final Fantasy. It came time for when I had to hunt down the barghest. I considered myself a patient sailor, but The Witcher, predatory hunter it is, felt determined to show how much more patient -it- is. Wandering around trying everything I could, killing everything I found, and even taking the hit to my pride and looking up walkthroughs and following multiple ones step by step the barghest refused to spawn. Ever. Even when it was supposed to do hit and runs it never spawned. So I decided that I was going to show this game and it's overpriced $60 price tag that I was neither amused nor one to be trifled with. I ejected the disc from it's slot in my laptop, dropped the case in the trash on my way out of the berthing on my way to the top decks of the ship, and in my supreme wrath I flicked my wrist and sent The Witcher spinning through the air and off the back end of the ship like a Frisbee. It had a good go, CDs make awesome Frisbees by the way, and the offending chunk of plastic went a good 50 meters before sinking into the ocean waves somewhere between Japan and the Philippines. I sure showed it. In my chronic immaturity I still feel pleased with my performance today.

How has no one mentioned that ending clip? that made me laugh so hard XD Watching people rage is priceless

Love it. "Hi I'm Nathan... and I sometimes rage quit". Lol

After 1000 hours of Souls games, I can't feel angry anymore. Whenever I get killed I'm like "Meh, whatever" On an unrelated note, I also lost my capacity to feel joy, so when I actually beat a boss I'm like "Meh, whatever"

I missed the entire kingdom hearts series while looking on with a mixture of guilt and incredulity because I rage quit the coliseum in the first game, before Phil ever let me into a single match. Phil is a really hard teacher you guys! (says the one final fantasy fan in the world who couldn't even get through a fighting arena tutorial on the third or fourth level of the first game)

This is the most relatable video yet. My rage was trying to get the "flappy goat" achievement in goat sim. I couldnt get the 10 points so i threw my controller, and it cliped the corner of the TV (CLIPED IT) and half of the screen turned to the rainbow lines. The worst part was explaining to mum why i needed a new TV

I'd rage quit when milktank used rollout to body my whole team#pokemonsilver

I could listen to him tell stories forever

Shout out to the jak series making the list!!! As soon as I heard jak 2 I knew exactly what part and I was right ^_^ glad to hear I wasn't the only one ;)

I remember the good old days of ragequitting Gun Game matches in Black Ops 1 because some people loved demoting you by only going after you with a knife ;) (And then being a child about it and doing it yourself to others. Ah well, I was young). Oh yeah and trying to get the gold relic on Stormy Ascent just yesterday. Ah well I got it now.

Rob is my city.

When your in a rpg and you forget to safe for 6 hours and then die arhhhh!

I raged at FF8 as a kid. Couldnt beat the final boss. At one day i just turned out the tv and spitted on it, filled with anger. After realizing what i did i cleaned it up immediatly.

I ragequit on sleeping, when I try to sleep late at night because it's the right thing to do, even though I'm not tired at all.

I'm quite a calm rage quitter, dark souls and bloodborne plat taught me patience. I am eternally grateful my controllers are still intact.

Tekken 3, and Crash Bandicoot High Road two cracked controllers. One on PS2 and one on PS4 but they both still work to this day lol

I had a rage quit moment on Halo 3. I threw a tiny bottle cap at my 42'' TV, and broke it...

Remember Dark Souls? Yeah me too.

Destroyed my Dark Souls 2 disc after trying to get through the Iron Keep for the first time then went and bought another copy the next day, I live in Australia to and it just came out so 90$ each purchase

I've experienced a lot of these. Usually, when I rage quit, I just start another game and feel bad that I couldn't finish. I deleted the Kingdom Hearts mobile game when I couldn't get past one particular boss even after fighting her for two hours and spending more of the in-game money than I would have wanted. I hated that; I watch the rest of the game being played by a RU-vidr now, and I feel sad because I'm not part of the experience anymore. But probably the stupidest thing I did was probably what you should do--I asked for help. I was having trouble with a moment on Final Fantasy XV near the end of the game, and I went to several walkthroughs and watched numerous videos of that part, but no one was telling me what to do. So I joined a message board discussing the game, described what was wrong, and begged them to help me. And yes, they got me through it, and I finished the first playthrough soon after, but they really made me feel stupid for asking. One person told me his only advice was to "stop sucking." So I'm not anxious to take that rout again.

This was brilliant. So many PS Access videos are great, but this is my favorite.

1 game..... Wipeout HD....

I once broke my DS by headbutting it because I lost to a team on FIFA that i had created which had all players with around 60 overall. I was not a smart kid

Punched the N64 cartridge to death for Golden Eye 007 after trying and failing the Natalya mission. I still haven't been able to play it because the rage is there every time I start the game.

I remember when I was 8 years old playing Crash Bandicoot 3 on the PS1, I rage quited a level and broke the cd in two, but as a result of that I cut my hands. The blood soaked the carpet and my mom was angry as hell at me!

This is one of my favorite episodes

Rage quitted on Catherine. On the 3rd or 4th puzzle I got so mad I got a knife out of the kitchen and scratched the disc as hard as I could, and did a mock exorcism on the game (yes, I'm serious). Also Dark Souls 3, threw the disc at my wall, got the disc chipped And Demon Souls, threw my controller against the floor so hard that it flew and created a perfect arc that hit the top left of television, breaking the screen. Also a few times I damaged/broke controllers, can't remember them specifically though. I may need anger management.

Used to get sooooo mad back in the N64 days, when faced with the (at the time) crazy task of running through the ENTIRE elite for in Pokémon stadium and then having to still beat Gary! Never beat it and broke a controller....ah the good old days...R.I.P. 3 handled controller

Omg this video had me in tears of laughter. Great job.

the last one was just glorious

the high road from crash bandicoot n.sane trilogy ......... even after a week from finishing it and getting the plat, i'm still mad at it, I think that's enough to explain how mad I got when I did it

With the god damn skybridge level going into the slippery climb level in the Crash remake I just ended up shrieking like a pterodactyl for an hour while losing every life I've built up thus far in the game

Nathan screaming incoherently is always a favourite :-D You're not alone mate, I used to do that too. Also causing my mum to take my console and hide it. Now I just don't play games that make me angry. Solved.
