Am I only one what rage uninstall a game when they get in a bod with one?. Seems to be the new thing I'm doing. lol.

I have done it many times with Elite Dangerous. :P

The thing its not like games are on disc these days either so takes along time to install again. I guess that's my punishment for rage uninstalling. hehe

Never have rage quit anything, particular not lately with how much handholding there is in gaming today.

I don't rage quit or rage uninstall my games. While I purchase most all of my games on disk you still need to install them and it seems like it would be a waste of time to uninstall them out of rage.

Never done either, but I take a game for what it is.

Sure, I've disliked games, sometimes even found them flat-out cheap. But I keep trying till I'm satisfied it is the game and not me giving it a unfair chance.

Games never make me angry, if it's not working for me, I give it to someone who may enjoy it.

I did it with Metro: Last Light after Steam trashed my saved games and I think I was 3/4 done with the game.

I finally got over it 3 years later and am now replaying the game.

I find that usually when I get angry with a game it is because of a fundamental misunderstanding of the mechanics. After doing some research I usually feel stupid then I carry on.

Yup, I've done it a few times, like "f*** this game" and uninstall.

Examples? Well, I've done it enough times that I can hardly remember them all, but Assassin's Creed III does come to mind. I was like "wait, all that messing around, all that 10 hours of tedious linear bulls*** I had wade through... ...was effectively tutorial? F*** this game and f*** it sideways with a sledgehammer wrapped in barbed wire" and uninstalled.

Yes, I have hit points in games where I was so disgusted with the game that I just slammed down Alt+F4 and then immediately uninstalled the game.

When I was way younger, yeah i definitely ragequitted a number of times.

Nowadays, the hormones aren't raging 24/7, the knees aint what it used to be and novelty in game have long since worn off so its more of a bored-quitting or apathy-quitting.

I don't recall rage quitting a game. I certainly don't do it for multiplayer. I usually wait till the end of the match to leave. And I am highly selective of the games I play, and in particular purchase. So I am fully aware of what I'm getting myself into. And few games nowadays are hard.

Although I have ragequited multiplayer matches and I have rage unfriended and /ingored a close friend, I have never rage uninstalled.

However a friend of mine has not only ragequited and uninstalled a couple of times but once he deactivated his account and then emailed the company asking them to delete it altogether (deactivated accounts could be retrieved for the particular game). They didn't and eventually he reactivated his account and played again.

The next logical step is rage-formatting.
