This is easily answered when a game is shit, glitched or badly designed in the spot you're quitting from but what about a game that's half decent or even good, a game you're enjoying. How do you feel?

I got to a boss at the late game of Lies of P, one that is so much more difficult and cheap, than any boss before it, that I rage quit. Like we're talking a shear vertical cliff here, in difficulty spiking. First time I think I have ever rage quit a game and made the determined decision to not go back. Now I feel depressed, angry, resentful and a whole other host of emotions. 

EDIT: I went back and beat the boss. I am pain.

Man I really need a full time job, soon.



Typically quit and never go back. I quit Sekiro and just have no interest. I found the game cheap and repetitive. I figure my team is valuable. If I am not enjoying something, then moving on makes the most sense.

But what if you are enjoying it though, and end up roadblocked. Actually, Let's say you're really enjoying the game and your time do far, do you quit? This is the paradoxical conundrum I'm faced with. What would you have done, had you really been enjoying Sekiro. 



If someone can make a good argument to allow myself to continue being emotionally abused by this game. I'm all ears.

Not sure to be honest.  Never enjoyed a game that road blocked me.  I did get stuck on Smelter, DS2 was my 1st From Software, but I think I just keep at it with no breaks, finally won.

I forgot you were a souls vet. You ever have to respec? Respe (unless you fucked up) feels like failure to me.

I have only respec a few times, usually NG+ when I want to change my build.  So for intentionally purposes.  



It's been decades since my last rage quit. Now I simply don't play if it's not enjoyable. No rage, just go play something else and usually never go back.

Actually that's incorrect, my last rage quit was in GT7 online, too many hostile players sapping the fun out of online racing. It was a long time since I felt that anger, didn't like it, haven't touched online play since. (That after nearly 15,000 online races in GT Sport. PD not caring about fair play in GT7 killed my appetite for online racing)

There's so much to play out there, my backlog is huge, why play something that frustrates? I still play GT7, but now in VR, against AI with my own custom races. No lag, no frustration. The AI isn't great but doesn't deliberately target you nor dive bomb in every corner.


But I've been young too. I have smashed keyboards with the keys coming off, taken a hammer to mice that would cause me to die (old roller ball mice), smashed discs so I could never play the game again. Now I go for a run when I feel frustrated, 15K in 75 minutes and all troubles have faded away.

Omg yeah, Online Racers are the worst. The best experience I had with them was the original Project CARS, people actually respected the race and other Racers, they'd crash instead of bump. GT7's rating thing does very little cause you start out where gamers don't necessarily do it on purpose but might be shite. A good way to do it would have been to put you in the top rank from the start and then have your ranking degrade as you crash or rule break in the way chess.com handles rankings. 

You've smashed a mouse with a hammer, lmao. Nice. I've broken discs when I was a kid but I can't see the use in letting my anger break me like that these days. Since my adolescence only one controller has been broken and that was outta shear instinct, it left my hand before any thoughts entered my head. Now, I just let my anger turn into some form of depression. I love challenging games but it almost feels to not be worth it at times.
