Games you love but are bad at

[Pokenami's icon Pokenami Pokenami]

Mostly Shmups for sure but I would mostly add fighting games as well as I can't for the life of me try to use special moves.

Here's looking at you Tekken.

 

[Yukyon]

Fighting games, I love them but man I get my ass handed to me each time I play against other players

 

[MicheIe]

Fighting games.

 

[nintara]

almost every game tbh.

i just got d rank in bloody palace in dmc4 (reached level 9) before getting my 3rd settled city in civ 5 effortlessly captured by an army that could analrape my entire empire thrice over and make it back home in time for lunch, on king difficulty no less. i'm dogshit at games despite devoting a relatively large chunk of my time to them.

granted dmc4 is closer to like than love but still.

 

[TheWanderer]

Fighting games in general I want to be able to do sick combos but I can't do it very well

 

[Leviafen]

im ass at most shmups and gallery shooters but GOD i love zeroranger and wild guns so much

 

[konatakonatakon1]

Any fighting game. I just got blasted by my father in Tekken 3. I think my only hope into fight games is SoulCalibour.

Dude i watch videos online of other people pulling off sick combos, take a lot at the input, because of intense copium tell myself meh i can pull it off, get the try and pull off the combos get my ass handed to me,exit retroarch, repeat when i see another combo.

Tbh you just have to lab it
And keep labbing
I play hinokakura sometimes it's combos are very satisfying

 

[bigstinkie]

i'm not sure
first person shooters i am very bad at but i am also not really a fan of the genre - i am just vey passionate about the first person shootzors i do enjoy like shadow of chernobyl
the only thing i do well in them is shoot people from far away while peacefully hiding away - any kind of real time action in shoot games i spin my mouse around screaming until i have been killed by death

i think rhythm games would fit for me on this.

i LOVE music, especially since im a musician. but i feel like since i AM a musician and also have a few very specific forms of synesthesia (specifically the ones relating to involuntary motor functions triggered by sounds), it makes the rhythm games im playing either extremely difficult or piss baby easy.

for example, if im at an arcade and any rhythm game has Night of Nights (touhou song), its a Full Combo. Full Stop. But then lets say im playing Project Diva or Guitar Hero or something. If the chart is horrible and doesnt match my internal mapping for how the beat or guitar or whatever is supposed to go, i just cannot win.

it can get really frustrating, REALLY quickly

 

[Esidemoken]

I really like Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate although it cost me a lot to learn its mechanics, I finished the story mode but the G rank mode HR7 makes me feel like I'm a beginner who can't do anything when I'm already beaten.

 

[zacharinolongpants]

Most fighting games, it feels like.
I'm the best in my friend group, but I get bodied almost instantly online.

Same here. I LOVE the Tekken series and thought I was getting dope it at but then I played online lmao.

 

[Varyag]

Funny how common responses Fighting Games and Shmups are. On one side, FGs are inherently competitive, and that breeds a set of difficulties of it's own. On the other, shmups are the single gaming genre where I see the most passionate fans, paired with the most difficult mental health issues to do with playing the games. And I AM a shmup fan too, I get it!

 

[The Missing Link]

ALL Fighting games! Their fun but man I suck, I still play tho lol.

 

[Devin8or]

I'm pretty bad at anything that isn't an FPS . . . and I'm only mediocre at those.

I would say that my biggest mismatch of love to skill is with grand strategy games. I really like games like Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, and Stellaris, but I am so, so bad at them. I've pretty much stopped playing them, though, because they eat up so much time.

 

[MrBird]

I have a love/hate relationship with Fighting Games. There's a lot of stuff I like at them (Characters, Music, Mechanics, all that stuff), but then I get to playing them. Sure, I'll be having a good time, maybe even having a bit of fun, but then the SNK Boss comes in, stomps a mudhole in me for about 20 minutes straight, and then I'm tilted for a while.

 

[stealthRUSH stealthRUSH]

SEGA's Super Monkey Ball series comes to mind. I go in with a mindset of wanting to finish (at least one of the games) concentrating, becoming familiar with the controls, completing several stages.. only to get to a level where I'm stump and become frustrated and eventually stop playing the series altogether for months years.

Mega Man
Mega Man X
Mega Man Zero
Mega Man ZX

 

[snes9x]

Gimmick! is my second favorite NES game but I've only ever made it to the penultimate stage. A lot of shmup/bullet hells too. Most of the Souls games

 

[meimei]

anything that requires me to know combos. if being drunk doesnt make me better at the game that game will be abandoned.

 

[Taukyrie]

Pretty much any fighting game, except maybe Gundam Extreme VS. I sometimes think it's a lot more fun to just fuck around in fighting games than try to take them seriously.

 

[NobodyHere]

Project Diva, I love it so much but I keep forgetting the button placements, spacing out, or getting distracted by something else (often the game itself)

 

[Burzuru]

Devil may cry 3. i barely finished very hard with dante and DMD just too much for me to stand.

 

[Graves Ruinwalker]

Mostly Shmups and RTS games .
One RTS series just filtering me everytime i try to beat it .

Its Kingdom under Fire : Crusaders and Kingdom under Fire : Heroes . At a certain point , its always walling me with armies that are always tougher and the goal is to defeat them with my armies of slightly upgraded doofuses with long pointy sticks and my upgraded Knights of the incompetency order . And no matter how i upgrade , level up and approach my armies , im getting destroyed by this game.

But i love the concept and the extremly underrated soundtrack that blasts through the game that i even cant hear what the characters actually talk about .

But im suprised that alot of folks aremt good at fighting games . Never had a problem with fighting games but i dont play online against other players because mostly connection-issues and constant updates/patches often ruin main-characters . Played online-matches for a few years when the Xbox 360 was the newest console on the market . I had some fun but mostly frustration out of it .

Friends and the CPU are for me enough to have fun with those games .
