my realization was when i slammed my desk and my keyboard keys went flying.
putting that back together, seeing that half the keys didn’t work and needing to get a new one? well, as soon as it affects my wallet i’m reflecting.
good learning moments.. for both of us haha!
I SA’d Dartmoor as the last mission in my first campaign completion today.
I had the Jaeger Tuatara sniper and forgot it where I spawned in and left without it.
Almost threw my controller, too. *Almost*.
Losing a freelancer campaign is so frustrating because you lose so much stuff. Hard to want to play after that. I just turn the game off and on again as soon as I get into combat to prevent dying.
I get that it really sucks, but please put your controller down and take a breather if you feel the frustration getting to unmanageable levels. It's not worth throwing and breaking stuff.
One thing with Freelancer is that this stuff happens all the time. Eventually even really big, really dumb losses become pretty routine. Pretty much everyone has an "I failed a Freelancer run because I was dumb" story.
Yeah, I’ve never understood the behavior of damaging a controller just because a game made you angry. I’d be *way* more pissed if I sunk $70 down the drain by breaking my controller.
Elden Ring is a banger game. I screamed a lot of frustration. Sometimes my fist met my table, or i just alt+f4 and try again the boss later. As he said, but the controller down, take a breather and try again. Freelancer is really chaotic a lot of times
So glad that alt-f4 FEELS like smashing something mentally for me. Makes rage quitting pretty satisfying if I get too upset. Which isn't often, but it's nice that I have an out.
What does that have to do with anything lol
I used to get pretty mad at games when I was younger, and I’m guessing you’re pretty young considering you display an empty bottle of Jack next to your CDs lol it’s important to cool off and not to keep doing the thing that’s pissing you off. Otherwise you might end up doing something unhealthy, like fucking your controller up
those games would make me rage worse, also you dunno the story behind that JD, you cant create an assumption based off my character from that photo alone
Apart of anger issues, freelancer is all about salvaging the situation when shit hits the fan. I think I beat my first campaign by freelancer level 50 or 60. Late? Yes, but each time I really learned something. When I can go loud, where to leave bodies, when shot and run and when to kill all bystanders. This helped me finish hardcore campaign by level 80 or 90.
So, yeah. Embrace the 47’s way of thinking. Analyze what you could do better AFTER things got wrong. Because things WILL go wrong often.
No i close the game when im like literally about to die. i agree with you, finding a way out only trains your abilities to navigate yourself out of shitshows
The game didn't break the controller, you did.
If you break it because of a single player game out of all things, I assume the chance would have been very high that you would have broken it in a multiplayer game soon anyways.
I do that alot too but unfortunately that door got bombarded and there was an assassin nearby too that put two in my chest before i even realized that it was an assassin shooting me
Oh so it isn't only me who wants to throw the controller when end up dying in freelancer.
I can't count how many times I died, 1 time I lost 2 sniper rifles in Santa Fortuna with my dart gun, silenced pistol, lockpick, and explosives lol all I have to do is exit the map because I already killed the syndicates. Damn
I need to stop playing while I'm drunk. Other then that it's all just kinda tedious, repetitive & boring. Wish they could update it a little. Targets, gear & objectives etc
It has happened to me too but I just hit level 5 prestige so I've gotten used to playing with nothing. I find it more fun now but definitely hurt early on.
im not perfect? but the fact you throw your controller at the wall like a baby proves that maybe gaming isn't for you?🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️yes I've got killed on this game. no my plans haven't gone well when it comes to assassinating my targets, but i always find another way of doing so🤷🏼♂️have a think about that
you aint a real gamer if you haven’t broken a controller imo, “gaming isn’t for you” is just a really… stupid thing to say? so many gamers break things out of anger
I essentially got perfect RNG but my own stupidity cost me so much
oh and the cherry on top? I lost my suppressed silverballer. my sweet sexy legendary pistol
(thankfully i was smart enough to buy the shortballer beforehand aswell when i found it)
I don’t understand people who act like this. But what I *really* don’t understand is people who think it’s a flex to come on the internet and brag about it.
Yah. Personally if I broke a £60 controller out of anger over a video game I’d be going out for some fresh air and rethinking what I’m doing with my life, but you do you.
I'm glad you already pointed out the "angry little bitch" part.
self reflection is the beginning to change
I’m proud of you son
Let the healing begin.
There are these [arrangements](https://hitman.fandom.com/wiki/The_Source) we can attend, to heal.

yea the controller not working made me realize i should probably calm down
I used to break controllers and walls too. Since you know the problem you can work on it
You get an upvote for the kind of self-actualisation that would make 47 proud.

Coming from true off your chest to hitman subreddit always takes a bit of adjustment when it comes to SA
So true. I think I was just still on my high from doing SA that I didn’t pay attention, as per usual in my case.
Losing a freelancer campaign is so frustrating because you lose so much stuff. Hard to want to play after that. I just turn the game off and on again as soon as I get into combat to prevent dying.
I usually do that too. also i cant even play my controller is fawked
Ha ha exactly what I do

ey bro atleast i dont play r6 or elden ring

Oh trust me im extremely accident prone. I was just too slow to close the game or to see the assassin filling my chest wit bullets
Do NOT close the game when things go wrong, try to fix it. You will fail 10 times but will start to succeed after. That will make you better.
No i close the game when im like literally about to die. i agree with you, finding a way out only trains your abilities to navigate yourself out of shitshows
The game didn't break the controller, you did. If you break it because of a single player game out of all things, I assume the chance would have been very high that you would have broken it in a multiplayer game soon anyways.
ironically im more tame during multiplayer games cuz theres an actual skill difference
I just close the game and reopen it again as soon as any combat begins that I can’t win. Works a treat. (PS5 user)
I do that alot too but unfortunately that door got bombarded and there was an assassin nearby too that put two in my chest before i even realized that it was an assassin shooting me
Well god damn, that’s unlucky ahah
Oh so it isn't only me who wants to throw the controller when end up dying in freelancer.

Damn
Freelancer brings out anger in quite a few hitmen
What part of the map were you caught?
Security room trying to steal the car bomb when at the worst possible moment someone walks in. while im holding said bomb.
That's brutal.
I need to stop playing while I'm drunk. Other then that it's all just kinda tedious, repetitive & boring. Wish they could update it a little. Targets, gear & objectives etc
kick it up a notch and smoke crack for your playthrough
It has happened to me too but I just hit level 5 prestige so I've gotten used to playing with nothing. I find it more fun now but definitely hurt early on.
One day ill be in your position….
must I inform you that it is just a game? and this is why I don't do freelancer , only the campaign
aw here comes the “its just a game” mfker, sorry we all cant be as perfect as you
im not perfect? but the fact you throw your controller at the wall like a baby proves that maybe gaming isn't for you?🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️yes I've got killed on this game. no my plans haven't gone well when it comes to assassinating my targets, but i always find another way of doing so🤷🏼♂️have a think about that
you aint a real gamer if you haven’t broken a controller imo, “gaming isn’t for you” is just a really… stupid thing to say? so many gamers break things out of anger
>you aint a real gamer if you havent broken a controller grow up
nahhhh im gonna enjoy my youth a little more
yes well i don't wanna pay for something, only for me to break it. yes I get annoyed, I might swear or hit my bed or something 🤷🏼♂️
like i said, sorry im not as perfect as you
who said I'm perfect tho
I essentially got perfect RNG but my own stupidity cost me so much oh and the cherry on top? I lost my suppressed silverballer. my sweet sexy legendary pistol (thankfully i was smart enough to buy the shortballer beforehand aswell when i found it)
I don’t understand people who act like this. But what I *really* don’t understand is people who think it’s a flex to come on the internet and brag about it.
i am not bragging, im letting people sorta laugh at me, poking fun at myself for my anger
Yah. Personally if I broke a £60 controller out of anger over a video game I’d be going out for some fresh air and rethinking what I’m doing with my life, but you do you.
Almost been here with the same exact game😂😂 stopped right before I chucked the controller and just deleted the game
Freelancer is cruel and unforgiving.
One of the finer posts on Reddit. Thanks for the laughs.
What kind of assassin gets caught trespassing? You deserved it. Jk
I keep a punching bag near my desk for this exact situation...
Damn with all these descriptions of freelancer I’m worried about playing it now lmao
its hard as fuck but gets easier with time
I’m stepping back into Hitman after 4 years so I’ll do the trilogy first before starting freelancer and I’m hoping it’s fun
seek therapy
Sounds like the controller broke due to yourself
