And what’s worse is that this treatment of the player as cannon fodder can surface in multiple ways – spawn camping in Call of Duty, corrupt save files and hardware difficulties, inconsiderate boss battles that are inhumanly difficult, and so forth.Īpparently in an industry as consumed with entertainment value and audience satisfaction, what they love the most is toying with our emotions and taunting our inner cave-people to attack. But in my defense, how would you react to being relentlessly mocked by NPC’s and IRL people by having your ass absolutely handed to you inside a fictional realm designed to make you feel good? It’s awful and it’s shameful. I’ve been known in the past to scream, smash and single out inanimate objects to attack with unbridled anger and fury. I can pretty much overreact to most things. Oh no, I’ve felt this level of utter hatred across the entire board of video games, as your patience will soon find out. I would however like to make one small change in definition to the above by stating that this intense feeling of frustration and anguish is not just reserved for the players of multiplayers such as Call of Duty, Counter Strike or Team Fortress.

Here’s a charming definition from Urban Dictionary on what it truly means to ‘rage quit’ on something : So what am I like when I go into FULL HULK MODE?

Either about what I ate for breakfast or how adorable I found a cat-centered Vine the other day, I don’t half arse emotions. If you knew me in person, then you’d already know that I’m a very passionate person. And whilst that may be true for sadness, I certainly feel disgusting amounts of rage. Last week I expressed my concerns about having little to no emotional reactions to video games.
