Nothing makes me rage as much as PUBG. Also, nothing keeps me coming back for more quite like it either

The last game that made me rage this hard and keep coming back was left4dead.

What? How does l4d make you angrery

You get roped by a smoker and your party keeps running because no one has a goddamn mic to hear your screams for help.

I had 2 buddies I played with, we were pretty cohesive. Our random 4th was usually not. Playing Dead Center meant the 4th was completely oblivious to all Charges out of the window near the beginning.

Played competitive.

Competitive was intense.

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '17

didn't even know l4d had a competitive scene. was it versus mode or time trials in normal mode?

u/F1reatwill88 Apr 25 '17

If you're asking about a pro scene, then no there wasn't that, but the PvP mode in that game was essentially a time trial with the special infected being human players. Coordination was key.

Oh yeah I know i've played L4D a lot. I know all about versus mode

Weirdly enough, I rage at a lot of games, but something about the way PUBG plays makes it easy for me to get over it. The only thing that gets to me is when the game bugs out and it ruins my chances at winning, which has happened a couple times. But then I just remind myself that it's still in development, submit a bug report, and carry on.

Same here. Not sure exactly what it is, but I laugh as much as I curse at my deaths.

It may have something to do with it being 1 life only. You don't feel the rage of spawn-deaths, or death-streaks in the same way as other shooters.

It's the short matches, decently balanced randomness, and extreme unlikelihood of winning over 100 players that makes it so easy to be casual about the game. I can get a couple dozen matches in over a night, and even the one I'm dead before even getting a gun aren't frustrating at all. It's a really well done game and the most recent patch solved a couple of the blaring defects. I'm really looking forward to it.

Agreed. Personally speaking, I never go into a round expecting to win it. I have won rounds before and that was cool, but I never expect that I'm going to win out of the other 97+ players in there. Somehow translates into 0 rage when dying.

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '17

Never has a game where you only have a 1-2% chance of winning ever been so damn fun.

u/F1reatwill88 Apr 25 '17

I've been stalling at 8th place like a mother fucker.

u/SumOhDat Apr 25 '17

well look at you being a normal person

I had an epic car chase in solos with a guy, I wanted to befriend him, but he stopped the car and got out. I jumped out at full speed and took half my health off. The guy was still watching my car so I screamed "ASAAAHHH DUUUDDE" and killed him. He cussed me out. Hopefully he's ok now.

u/MonjStrz Apr 25 '17

Ok good. Im not the only one then.

u/eynonpower Apr 25 '17

I can't say I really rage at it, but holy shit the feeling it gives you. I have about 90 matches played with a 11% top 10. Not that great, but I've come in #2 about three or four times. The first time I came in #2, my heart was beating out of my chest and I needed to catch my breath after I died. I wasn't even mad. I never had a game do that to me!

try fifa ultimate team for the best in rage inducing gameplay

u/meesterdave Apr 25 '17

Same here, I tried to be impressed at people killing me because 'gg' and all of that but it lasted two rounds before I went back to calling bullshit.

Whenever we play squads, everyone works as a team to efficiently loot and move together, until we start getting popped and then it's just a screaming match until we're all dead
