Have you ever raged/rage quit on this game?

Post » Thu Jun 23, 2011 10:33 am

There are very few things that can make you want to rage quit this game and so I personally never have. Sometimes I'll play this to calm myself down after I rage on MW2 or some other trash game like that...but personally I've never rage quit Oblivion. Now that I think of it once a bug/crash made me lose a few hours of gameplay(I know stupid not to save)and that made me give a nice solid bellow...but that's about it.

Sometimes, because I'm using OOO, I'll rage because of a godamn mystic imp. :L

But other than that, it's hard to think of anything.

I've never rage quit a game. I've had games crash and opted not to restart them because I was unhappy, if that counts.

For me, rage quit = sliding the difficulty slider down to easy. Usually happens at about level 30, where my Better-than-daedric quality weapons need to be recharged/repaired after every few encounters.

I don't think so. It's not really a game I get mad at, other than when it crashes and I haven't saved for a while. In that scenario, the game quits itself, so I obviously won't have to. That's smart.

Oh lord no. :D I've been frustrated on occasion. I've been stressed (usually before a big Boss encounter). I've been spooked at times, but I've never gone into rage. Or quit the game due to being pissed at it.

Closest I guess I've ever raged in a game was while playing Tetris or Sonic or some game like that, but that happened a long time ago, and it probably wasn't all that ragey. I'd just get mad, turn the Sega or whater off, but I wouldn't start throwing stuff or anything. That's what I see as a "rage", when somebody really loses it. I've got a couple friends that do that. >_>

Leveling system got me ganked by zombies, forgot which ones but was around level 30. 2 of them attacked me and I used about 5 weapons on them to 0 armor and about 30 repair hammers. That was my very first character on Oblivion around 60 hours into the game and I rage quit and deleted the saves. I returned a few weeks later and it was only then that I learned about the difficulty slider.

When I am bored with a quest or oblivion gate I have cheated sometimes using Chameleon or tcl. Never had a problem with difficulty in the game. The most annoyance I have is the dialogue the way the npcs talk to each other makes me want to murder. Can't wait for Skyrim.

Huh.. you know, I've raged, and I've quit, but I don't think I've ever rage-quit. If something is difficult enough to make me rage, I'm stubborn and keep at it. And if like, a glitch happens, I just quit, with a sort of casual, apathetic "I'm not really in the mood to risk that again" mentality.

I rage quit when i am doing a quest that requires stealth and every time i try get the needed item i fail / get caught over and over making me have to relaod over and over and over (copy + past for another hour)

i also rage reload when i go through 10+ lock pick trying to open an easy locked door

when game crashes itself

when i get locked inside that 1 mage guilds attic where door is free to enter on 1 side but on other side its a "very hard lock" and theres no key in the room to be found and that door was only entrance/exit (i had to start a new game because of that was soo peed off)

I play for fun. If I'm not having fun, I stop playing and go do something else for a while. :)

The only time I've been upset at the game was when I got hit with the A-bomb on my first game. I never knew about it until then. I found posts here about it and learned to keep my game under a game year of 365 days and haven't been hit with it since. This is on PS3. Otherwise I'm pretty easy going and just kind of view problems as something to overcome...like a quest. :/ My current game of Oblivion on PC has only crashed once in 120 hours. I'm quite happy with that and almost surprised. I've been very used to constant reloads on FNV.

When I first got the game and didn't know how to turn down the difficulty, I was at a point where I hadn't saved in a while, I was about to die, and I was being attacked by Imperial Guards in Chorrol. After numerous failed attempts to escape them alive, I rage quit. There was no way I was going back to a save that I made an hour earlier. Not right then, anyway. I didn't play Oblivion for a while after that.

I am not sure I understand. What do you mean by "A-bomb" in that post?

Heh, I just type "killall" in the command console, and happily watch their worthless bodies fall to the ground around me.

Tetris makes me break things. I can't play that game any more.

Here's a link to the thread on-site that discusses all aspects of this random bug that can happen in the game.

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/813915-slowfrozen-doors-fire-spell-etc-animations-thread-8-of-jittering-doorseffectsobjects/page__hl__bomb

Here's the thing. Anyone getting the game at this point in time should know that the A-bomb is random, doesn't hit everyone. For me, on my latest PS3 game, I'm at 215 game days with 350 hours played. I was able to do KotN DLC and completed everything I wanted to do. I had a blast. I'd never tell anyone to *not* get the game because it's *that* great and with Skyrim right around the corner, it's a good time to play Oblivion to see what TES is about.

Some people are still very angry about it and I absolutely agree that corporations should back up their products but, for whatever reason this wasn't addressed by Bethesda, (It must be huge or they'd have fixed it, I think) I've decided to just deal with it when I play because, well geez, I played for 350 hours and had a blast...in 4 games over the years 4x350=1400 hours. What other games give us that? I've done plenty of exploring but made sure to keep my games under 365 game days (easy) and have not run into the bug again. Some people have run into the bug sooner but most people never see it at all.

That's all I can contribute...I'm no expert on it but I don't think it'll be in Skyrim so I'll be playing that for years, I'm sure. We'll all push that game to its limits too and I hope we don't find anything.

Besides the hidden images I′ve only raged against the Abomb, but never at the game itself. Like others I play it to sort of calm down. At least I did

This ^ along with getting knocked down, close to death and as my character gets back up, I'm holding in block the whole time getting back up only to have my character swing their weapon one more time and getting blocked by one of the foes which lands a killing blow on my character. I've raged many-a-time, over the fact if you get hack & slash happy (press the attack repeatedly hitting the attack button) only to get knocked down and the game has to make my character do one more attack before they finally block, while I had been holding to block button the whole time after getting knocked down. I even rage-quit over the scenario above. Thankfully I've gradually learned to try and time my attacks better.

I have also rage-quit over some game crashes that happen at the most inconvenient times.
