Reaper Cloud Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 games have you destroyed? My history for video games is as follows: - Atari 2600 - NES - SNES - PS1 - PS2 - PS3 I have only broken one game, and it was for the SNES. The title for said game was "NFL Football," and just watching a YouTube video to make sure that I had the correct game gave me flashbacks. lol This game just LOVED to cheat, and it kept doing one cheap play over and over again. I don't remember the play, but I do remember it always getting an interception though. I was so pissed, that I said aloud "If you intercept me on this play I am going to SMASH you!" Sure enough, it picked me off. So I stood up from the couch, turned the SNES off, removed the game...and went outside. I then proceeded to use the SNES cartridge as a football and spiked it into the sidewalk. It didn't take much to ruin the outside, but then I took a hammer to the actual chip inside. Sure, other games has pissed me off since then...but for some reason I never had the desire to destroy them. That one Football game was just evil in my opinion, and I had to save someone else from playing this game if I was just to give it away. I've read about other people snapping PS3 games, but they seem a bit far fetched. So, if you have put a bad game out of its misery...let's hear about it.

mjc0961 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Another thread where the thread title question doesn't match the question asked at the end? I haven't put any bad games out of their misery. I sell them and let some other poor schmuck deal with the game's shittiness. It was really hard not to destroy Okami though. But game I've destroyed? One, but it was an accident. I was cleaning up around my room once and things were kind of a mess because I was in the middle of cleaning. I ended up tripping on something and falling over onto a plastic bin that stored many things, including my N64 games. I only landed on the corner of it, but the corner of the bin was smashed and so was my copy of Body Harvest. Really sucked because that was my favorite N64 game, but thankfully I found brand new copies on Amazon for a really fair price, so I was able to replace it easily. The only other game I can remember being destroyed was my copy of Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge, but that wasn't even me who destroyed it. I was playing it when all of a sudden I heard a weird noise and the game froze. Didn't think anything of the noise at the time, I just reset my computer and tried to play again, but it told me I had no disc insert. That's when I checked my disc drive and found out what the noise was: the disc shattered to pieces inside the drive. I guess it must have been cracked somehow and all the spinning finally got to it. Once again though, I was able to easily replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjfan97 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I've never destroyed a game but I've had the desire to a few times. Terminator 3 on the Playstation 2 is so bad it literally almost made me break the disc out of madness of what a shitty game it was. I also mistook it for a better Terminator game which was called Terminator 3: Redemption, I think and they both had similar titles so it's an easy mistake to make. Also, on Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood I wanted to destroy the disc because every time I attained level 25 I was booted back to level 24 because of the game's connection issues so I suddenly sad "fuck it" to the level 50 trophy.

Phodda Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 For "destroy", if you mean "being so careless that your games get totally crapped", well, my Yoshi's Island, Gran Turismo II, and my God of War II. None of my PS3 games stay out of their boxes, and if I see any of my friends or relatives doing so... My flowers will get a new set of vitamins...

Reaper Cloud Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Another thread where the thread title question doesn't match the question asked at the end? I basically broke up the sentence with one part being the Topic title, and the first sentence of the post being the second part. It was just a tricky way to get people to look inside of the topic to see the rest of the question. I've seen this done on other message boards before. Didn't think that it would confuse anyone. With all the video gamer rage videos on YouTube...I just figured that more people would go nuts and break their games. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungalist Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Only game I have broken is Mercenaries 2: World in Flames and that was on purpose. I hated the game so much that after I platted it I didnt think it was worth a trade in or worth putting someone else through this game. So me & my Coop partner both snapped up the games after the platinums was obtained. Still got be one of the worse games I have ever played.

Usually people just destroy their game...but to have two players who teamed up in game, and for breaking the game, is a first for me. lol Although I won't break my copy of "Ghostbusters," once I get the Platinum it will collect dust. My friend will sell her copy. lol If we hated the game a lot, maybe we could copy your idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I used to be pretty careless with my PS1 games...never putting them back in the case, letting sit on the floor, getting stuff spilled on them, kicked around, stepped on, etc. So needless to say they would get so scratched up they weren't playable anymore. Although I don't recall ever purposfully destroyed a game...the destroying was always left to the controllers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyc138 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 There's no way I would ever destroy a video game, not even back when video games cost $8 on the SNES. It just doesn't make much sense to destroy a game over gamer rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry94_ Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 When I was about 7 I snapped a demo disk (cant remember why). But I tried to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psikorps Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I dont destroy games, it would be like walking into a museum and defacing the works of art inside, or going to a library and burning books. Even if the game is complete and udder trash (I'm looking at you Hanna Montana) I would still not destroy it, I would simply file it under (1st grader finger painting art work). Where something like Red Dead Redemption would be filed into the (Fine works of art) A place for everything and everything in its place...and while some might deserve the trash as their place, I cant simply do that.

vegetollo7 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Never. I would never let a videogame get me riled up so much that I would actually break it out of rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZombieBP Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I have never meant to destroy a game but quite some time ago my GTA 3 disc was in my TV stand where I had my PS2 and it slid off of my PS2 in the back where there was a drawer and by the time that I could get it, it was pretty severely scratched up. I put it in my PS2 and it booted up but if you moved very little at all the game froze up. Now I take the disc out of my PS3 and put it in its box before turning my PS3 off at the end of each and every gaming session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landmine214 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 does playing them to death count? If so, 4-5, i killed three discs of Spyro 2: Riptos Rage by playing them to death, and a couple other games If not, 2-3, i snapped a disc of the original Beyblade game for ps1 one time after losing on the first battle of the game, and then i snapped a copy of naruto: uzumaki chronicles plainly because i did not like the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINAS3 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 My first system was an Atari and I have never ever broken a single game I own. Family, friends, animals, that's a whole 'nother story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpadesOfDarkness Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 During my entire life, I have never been angry enough to destroy a game. Never have and I hope I never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chardxd Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Me myself, a close one. As a kid I dropped a NES game on the water, it worked after wiping it. I stepped on the same game weeks later, the cartridge case broke, luckily the chip was not even scratched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDSFootball Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I screwed my From Russia With Love disc and Ps2 up pretty badly one time. I was spinning in one of those computer chairs and forgot my controller was wired so it pulled the system and made it mess up. The disc was dead and my eject button had to be repaired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) I've never broken a game. I've wanted to, but I work too hard for money to do that. For "destroy", if you mean "being so careless that your games get totally crapped", well, my Yoshi's Island, Gran Turismo II, and my God of War II. None of my PS3 games stay out of their boxes, and if I see any of my friends or relatives doing so... My flowers will get a new set of vitamins... I'm actually more interested in that quote. It makes absolutely no sense to me. Can someone please explain? I've never heard of vitamins coming in sets or giving them to flowers. Please help.

Bounty V Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I've never physically broken a game before, but I can't say the same for controllers No matter how bad a game may be, it's still something I paid for so I'd much rather sell it than "put it out of its misery" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY_Madness Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I've broken quite a few original PS1 games, and controllers at that, and I broke my first original playstation 3, the fat 60 gig gloss one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavensLightfire Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 When I had the PSOne, I destroyed many of my games after I found them unplayable, and I burned the controller.

Nille Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I have never broken a game intentionally, but my Far Cry 2 disc somehow got a big crack in it and wouldn't work anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
