Topic: Do you ever get angry when playing video games?

Doubt it

I usually have lots of patience and perseverance when it comes to video games. I also love the experience of becoming great at a video game that used to kick my butt. Hollow Knight is one of those recent examples that was very difficult at first but became a breeze once I got used to its mechanics and learned to be patient with its bosses.

The only thing that's able to make me lose my patience are time constraints.
I agree with @gcunit stance on Majora's Mask for instance. While it's not the worst Zelda out there, it's certainly in my bottom 5 because of the time mechanic. I hate the amount of stress that comes from time constraints.

@Apportal I've known some people that rarely get angry. They're out there.

@WoomyNNYes silly joke. Don’t be offended, my dude

I’ve never gotten to the point where I start throwing things when I’m angry (well, maybe as a toddler. But that doesn’t count.) I have loads of pet peeves though. Like when someone gives a lousy apology, uses my stuff like it’s there’s, and does something rude and plays it off like a joke. None of which happen while gaming.

I’m just saying everyone has their own pet peeves. So everyone gets angry sometimes. But yeah I’ve known a couple people who won’t get angry no matter what.

you know what, these days thats exactly how i am. i have loads of patience these days with games.
if its a game im really sitting down to absorb, ill take it all in. sometimes it helps to discover the games true colors if you will.

Yep, some games need a bit of commitment to truly shine. The Xenoblade franchise being a prime example of this.

Something else I tend to do with games that don't immediately "click" is going on a discovery of sorts in which I try to figure out all of the underlying mechanics or just play around in the world a lot without necessarily progressing the story, just to find the most fun way to play. And once I do find that "click", I start over from the beginning to enjoy the game to its fullest.
Last time I did that was with Octopath Traveler. I wasn't sure which of the 8 playable characters I'd like the most so I just picked one, finished the first two chapters of each and then start the whole game from scratch with my favorite as the lead, being Tressa in this case.
