Am I one of the few people that has never broken a controller in anger? Just try again and figure out what you did wrong so you can progress.

I've held it aloft a few times while playing dark souls. Then the voice in my head tells me how much it costs to replace, before I gently bring it back down.

People who get so angry they break shit are genuinely the dumbest people I’ve ever met, and have no self control or handle on their emotions.

I think I've damaged one controller from anger, when I was in my late teens. I don't remember what game it was, just that I threw the controller to the ground, watched it bounce once, and then had little pieces of plastic jiggling inside and never truly worked after that. And I've always had to buy my own extra controllers so it hurt more.

I’ve only thrown a controller once. I was 15, playing a stealth challenge room in Arkham Asylum, dead set on getting a noteworthy spot on the leaderboard. One of my countless attempts pissed me off, but I got it eventually.

But I don’t get angry playing games. More like I get dissatisfied or annoyed. I can get mildly frustrated if I feel like I’m not improving, but if it feels momentary, I take a break, and if it feels like an ongoing issue, I figure the game is not for me. Bottom line is that I play games for challenge. I am just as likely to get frustrated with something feeling too easy as something feeling too hard.

The only controller I've had break was due to wear. My original Xbox 360 wired controller finally died last year. I should've kept it and tried to fix it, but I had a lack of judgement and just tossed it for a new Xbox controller.

I too have never broken a controller, although with a terribly bad streak against Lady Maria, I did put my controller down to go eat lunch and think about how I can do better. It's the only boss to eat my lunch enough to warrant that action.

Me neither. Controllers are expensive, yo. If I get frustrated in a game, I either look up ways other players have succeeded, or play an easier game like Dynasty Warriors or freakin Two-point Hospital;

Never ever have I done this, even as a young person playing FESTERS QUEST on NES.

I used to get that upset about games, but I’ve grown past that (thankfully). Not worth the mental energy or money for controllers. Losing is just another way of learning! Everyone can have their moment of anger, what’s important is growing from that and not being a baby lol

I throw the controller onto the couch where I know it won't get damaged when I'm mad, but no way am I throwing it at a solid wall

I have anger management issues but even i don't have the heart to break a controller. Really the only thing i do is fake bite it's handles.
