I rarely do it. If I do it its because im acknowledge im tired so I just go on about my day and the next time I have spare time to game then I get the shit done.

I only rage quit if a game is not fun to play even at the non raging bits. If a game is too hard, then I just quit and accept defeat, but that rarely happens. I dont play those super hard platformers like I Wanna Be The Guy or Kaizo Mario stuff. However I did quit The End Is Nigh. That game becomes really brutal halfway through. Might try it again some time though. And some NES games are just insane.

I don't mind moving on from a game if it's not for me/difficult, especially if I play it on gamepass or ps+. Tried Bloodbourne, died a few times, deleted it and never went back. A lot of the nes games I couldn't beat in the past, I've gone back to and beaten with a little help from save states.

If there is a spot in a game I cannot get past and losing my patience, then I search up every guide and trick I can find on the internet hoping there is something there that can push me beyond it.

That being said, I have been beaten; Breath of the Wild, Master Mode, Trial of the Sword. Could not complete the final trial. Luckily it's not mandatory to complete to enjoy the rest of the game.

I am pain.

I don't think I've rage quit a game permanently.
There are 3 games I remember quitting because I wasn't enjoying it enough.

A Call of Duty game that friends tried to get me into.
Star Ocean 4.
And Bloodborne.

I actually went back to finish Star Ocean 4 though, which I regretted doing. lol
And while I like certain soulslike games (Elden Ring, Ni-Oh, Code Vein, etc) Bloodborne just didn't feel like it was for me.

I have quit many more games than that though.
But not because I didn't like them enough, but because I 'put them on hold' with the plan to go back to them later. And instead they ended up in my backlog.

Sure we'll clear our backlogs eventually, it's not quitting if you put it in a folder that's clearly labeled as backlog, it's just putting it on hold. I'm sure when I'm in a nursing home in the future I'll finish them. All seven thousand of them.

Gaming is supposed to be fun. If I'm not having fun, I don't play. I don't feel bad about that.

If I decide to try a game again later, I do so. If it is fun when I come back, I play it more. If it isn't, I don't play it.

If I get stuck in a game that I want to keep playing, I turn to guides that I find online. If that doesn't work, I play something else.

This is all very simple, really. And not to be an asshole here, but if you're having serious issues with rage quitting video games and struggling with your decision to put down or pick up a game, you might want to consider a different hobby. We're talking about video GAMES here. Games are for fun, and only fun.

Video games are also supposed to be challenging too, they started as super challenging to get the change out of kids pockets back in the day and that's where my love of challenging games comes from. It was beating double dragon 2 or Crash Bandicoot 2 against all odds of my skill level only to actually overcome the challenge, it brings out adrinaline in tense moments when you know shits on the line or you're really close and if you win you get a rush of chemicals to go along with that adrinaline and some euphoria. The fun comes from failing and seeing yourself improve bit by bit. And to the matter, I obviously don't play difficult games that suck, if a games hard but there's no fun, I'm not going to play it. This game is fun...or was fun.

The problem is in this case is that I'm simply not improving and end up dying to the same attack spam with no way to really learn what to do as the boss is not telegraphing the spam in any meaningful visual way and up until this point the game didn't teach me how to handle this level of spam attacks, always telegraphing moves obviously, instead just suddenly spiking in difficulty, the game failed at getting me good enough bit by bit or I failed to pick up on it if it was attempting to do so.

I rarely do it. And I never did it in my youth. I would just blast through it and will my way past everything. But now that I'm old, I don't see as much value in it. I know I can overcome anything, so I don't have to prove it to myself anymore. So if a game is designed unfairly, I will put it aside for another day. Whether that day arrives is anyone's guess, though. I have games now that I've put aside for years. Hopefully, I get the desire to pick them back up. But if not, I don't care.

Now, as for online games... if I suspect the game is allowing other players to get an unfair advantage via lag, or something like that, then I leave immediately. No tolerance for that. There is no point in raging about something you can not overcome. Best to just leave and try something else.
