Admit what games you suck at.

[otakon17]

Except it the freakiest of "OMG! How did I do that?!?" moments I absolutely SUCK at fighting games. Also, racing games to a lesser degree. FPS's, I'd say I'm slightly above average by the fairest of standards, but I have my moments. Most memorable was a 37-2 TDM I was in on CoD:MW. Gods, that was a fun match, I don't know how I did it to be honest. I curbstomped the entire opposing team twice over, and ran out of killstreak rewards on a single spawn. I got up to 36 I believe before someone got me. I had one more k/d than the match ended before I got another.

Racing games.

Age of Empires. I love em and me and my friends play a shit load of them but man do I suck.

 

[Duatha]

Every game blizzard has. No, really. I suck at WoW, Diablo and Starcraft. I get my ass handed to me online on SC2 especially, I enjoy the storyline though. On WoW i just cant seem to maximize my damage enough, so i am basically the first to die in pvp. And on Diablo... i just cant get behind some of the control mechanics. I am more of a console person anyways :3

 

[PatrickXD]

I will suck ass at any given RTS.
In terms of a specific game, however, I'll pick Sonic. Any Sonic game, I will fail at spectacularly. I can do racing games, I can do platformers, but goddamn Sonic is just beyond me.

Hearts of Iron II - Simply do not understand how the resource and production systems work. Maybe I could improve with time, though.
Quake III Arena - I just don't get the game mechanics, plus my reactions are too slow.
Counter-Strike Source - Reactions are too slow. Sure, I have my lucky streaks, but my k/d ratio is 0.33

I'm not very good at competitive FPSes in general.

Racing games. My idea of power sliding is 'Turn in such a way that I bounce off another car and hopefully don't die'.

That describes me too. I drive toward the wall (in a turn) and just hope I bounce off at a good angle.

 

[Swyftstar]

Racers. I can practice and get good but my mind can drift and having to constantly be alert is kind of annoying
Side scrolling shooters. This one hurts as I used to be good and now fear I am getting old and slow.

 

[Bad Jim]

I suck at Street Fighter 4. I realised this when I was in the Trocadero in London with my brother. We discovered a Street Fighter 4 arcade machine there ( quite a lot of Street Fighter games actually). He beat me every round, every game. I own the game. He does not.

 

[Krakamaka]

Pretty much all the games I've ever played:
Starcraft
Possibly Starcraft II
Halo
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
STALKER-Return to Pripyat (or something like that)
etc.
I'm actually not too bad at Age of Empires. Heh.
EDIT:
And this is only the disc games.
I suck at first person shooters. I don't know why, but I just do. Probably something to do with the fact that I know I suck so I get really panicky.

Hey that's a good tactic, albeit a rather dirty one.

 

[CJMacM]

Oblivion. I could never level my character up properly, and the one time I tried to go through the main storyline didn't go too well.

I also played Black Ops on Xbox live a couple time and died a lot.

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

First Person Online Shooters, like Counter Strike or Battlefield 3.

I usually get 1 kill for ever 2 deaths. Though it used to be 1 kill for every 10 deaths so I guess I am improving.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

An addendum to my previous post about sucking gonads at Arkham City yet still going for New Game +. I'm actually doing better on New Game + than I did on the normal mode, and this is with harder enemies, tougher enemy combinations and no counter icons.

Maybe the counter icons were just what was fucking me up somehow, or maybe I'm just from some kind of bizarro-dimension. I should try all my other games on the harder difficulty settings, see if this strange habit carries over.

It took me a while to work that strategy out. For the longest time I thought "drifting" meant "hurling myself recklessly into a corner, spinning wildly then just reversing on the following straight until I could attempt a J-turn".

OT: I also suck at fighting games. I can learn all the combos that game has to offer but when the fight begins I just go nuts wailing on any buttons I can find and all pretence of strategy quickly gets thrown out of the window, along with any modicum of restraint.

Oh, and FPS games. Mostly the more recent iterations where you have keep your eyes on 500 different things because 499 of them are going to try and kill you if you don't shoot them within 5 seconds of them appearing on screen, and the 500th is just a pointless set-piece with plenty of debris and vision-obscuring bullshit thrown in.

Also: RTS games. I do not have the intellectual capacity or the reflexes or the focus to manage an entire army at once. My entire strategy consists of selecting all my forces and pointing to the thing that seems like the biggest threat at any given moment. Then when that doesn't work because I'm a moron, I say "fuck it" and go back to playing Saint's Row.

And Metro 2033. This one gets a special mention because of how much I fucking suck at it. I've barely even played the damn thing and already I've gotten my arse kicked by rampaging monstrosities more times than I can count.

 

[Zantos]

Well I wanted to say the entire RTS genre, but since you wanted some specific games I'll just reel off whatever I can remember being bad at.

Age of Empires 1, 2 and 3
Age of Mythology
Empire Earth 1 & 2
Warzone 2100
Supreme Commander 2 (or it might have been the first one)
Command and Conquer Red Alert 1&2, Tiberian Sun, Generals
Starcraft 1 & 2

That's all I can remember for now, but I'm sure there's more RTS that I've tried and failed at.

 

[somonels]

All of them. I'm only above average at games which others don't play, like minesweeper, and like 4 MUDs at various times.

 

[Ando85]

I suck at Starcraft on certain conditions. I really always hated the "Big Game Hunters" custom maps which put unlimited minerals and geysers at your first point. It just turns into a cluster fuck of 200/200 versus 200/200.

I thought part of the strategy and challenge of Starcraft would be having limited resources and having to expand. I was good at those kind of maps as my strategy was to starve the enemy of resources by not letting them expand. I'd also usually.rush the enemy (which also people like to agree not to do). My intent would not be to win at that point but to kill as many of their workers as possible. This would cripple their progression early on.

Too bad I rarely got to use these strategies that simply don't matter on those unlimited resource maps.

 

[madchatter92]

Gears of War.
Cover based combat can suck it.

 

[Optiluiz]

Any multiplayer mode in an FPS game. Even zombie mode in Black Ops. I still play it with friends though, because once in every 10 losses I might almost win a round.

 

[Richard Hannay]

I suck at Starcraft (and Starcraft 2) under any circumstances, but I concur with Ando85 that resource-flush maps and no-rushing declarations are particularly irritating. My success rate (extremely low) is never affected one way or the other by these things because I don't play on BGH maps and if someone says "10min no rush" after a game has already started, I rush them. Imposing your own house rules on strangers over the internet is rude and should be punished. If you can't handle a rush, then you should come to terms that, like me, you are just terrible at Starcraft.
