Do you ever get mad when you lose?

[Kane99]

When it comes to competitive gaming in general, do you ever get mad when you lose at a game you're good at? I tend to get mad if I can't win at all, and it's just a continued repeat of losses over and over. I take losing bad sometimes, especially in sports games. I will be winning one second, and then out of nowhere I fumble in Madden for example and my opponent runs back for a TD. 

So, do you get mad if you lose a competitive game? or do you just take it and move on? I try to do the latter, but I need to work on that myself.

Not really. I'm one of the calm guys. Of course, my friends are getting mad but, I'm just laughing at them.

99% of the time, Nope. I get mad at cheaters who are playing the game using wallhack or just general cheating. They are mostly first-person shooting games. But the games that I do are mostly simulators. I do get mad a little if something doesn't go right while in a flight or the sim/game crashes LOL

But I tend to do CSGO or old BF2 games that are very much competitive game.

Not really. Games are made to be fun and even though I am somewhat competitive, I tend to not video games that seriously.

Oh for sure, anyone who hacks/cheats in games are a pain in the ass. I don't understand why they do it. I know they do it for the laughs, but it's just pathetic really. I remember playing COD 4 on the 360 years back, and I caught a guy switching teams somehow mid game. And bear in mind, we were in a ranked match, and that's not supposed to be possible. He was literally hopping back and forth to each team. He did it to, I guess, keep his win streak going. I chewed the guy out, but there wasn't much I could do. It's always fun to report hackers and cheaters though. Because MS can easily look into it. I don't know how many times I've gotten that MS message saying "Thanks for your report, we took action on it, etc". I love that, because it means one less hacker/cheater out of the equation for a while. 

But yeah, hackers get on my nerves for sure.

I despise hackers as well because they ruin the experience for every one that wants to win fair and square. Proving your competence in a game fair and square is the only way to determine where you stand in comparison to your opponents.

Getting mad when you lose game is not too cool. Before you go for any competition, try to know how to play the game very well. So even thou you are been defeated, they will know it is not a cheap winning from you.

I don't think so, it all depends on the game.. You're telling me that you've never got made after losing to a boss you cant beat in a RPG? If so then you have never played a game that you really really loved.

 

For me sometimes I can get that rage out.. makes me feel better, and allows me to reset myself and try again.

This has really nothing to do with me loving the game or not, if i get mad in a game that i love, i will stop playing it, which is not my plan.

I grow mad too when the game I love frustrated me if it's an adventure games or soccer games. I always get frustrated playing God hand when I can't get past the final boss enemy.
