Screw honor, winning is all that's important. If you suck you might as well suck without anyone knowing.Onyx Oblivion said:
Really? I absolutely rock at them, Ratchet and Clank is my all-time favorite shooting game (Well, shooting platformer, I guess).TheTim said:
Real Time Strategy games. I always turtle expect I don't build anything and focus only on upgrades and am left defenseless. Only game of the genre that I managed to be good at was Sins of a Solar Empire, and I'm not sure that is really a full fledged RTS...
Well, my basic strategy in RTSs is to crush my opponents with overwhelming numbers. Also, I love racing games like Wipeout, but I'm pretty bad at them in practice.
I'm terrible at "Old School" RTS's like WarCraft.
I can do Rome: Total War and the like where I feel that it simulates what I would actually do (and what people actually did) in real life. Spear line out front with infantry staggered just behind and archers behind them to soften-up the enemy lines as they approach. Heavy cavalry to perform a flank or pincer maneuver that breaks their spirits and causes a rout. One or two units (preferably mounted) as a reserve. Simple, classic, effective.
WarCraft? Build units, have the enemy decide to attack with like 5 guys at a time for some reason and try to survive as long as possible. On easy, it's too easy. On hard, it's too hard. It never feels like strategy because there is no emotional element to the units. You can send one man at an army and he'll always listen.

I have two genres - MMORPGS, and Roguelikes.Ricotez said:
I loved Guild Wars so much - countless hours I spent buying and selling, playing the market, adjusting characters...I eventually ended up making a Dervish that would use a form, usually with immunities to stuff like poison and bleeding, get healing over time buff to help with all the pain I would shortly bring upon myself, use three AOE attacks (Holy, Ice, Holy) use a skill to end those three AOE attacks prematurely (gaining HP and MP in the process, while setting the enemy on fire, then the third "end enchantment early" skill would reset all my skills so I could do it all again) all while surrounded. It worked amazingly well against large groups. Problem is...I spend too much time playing the market, and almost no time actually playing the game. Sad.
As for Roguelikes, I love the concept, but I suck so bad - I hoard items like crazy, which means games like Baroque make me stare at my menu for 5 minutes deciding which item to throw away. (And don't get me started on my Fallout 3 hoarding...)
Oh man, SC2 is THE game I am looking forward to, not to be a fanboy but, holy crap! Starcraft 2!!Sir Kemper said:
There is a point, in that I still kinda suck at it, and 1 out of 1 times I tried online, my butt was torn off.
im pretty pro at RTS games. Like i can go for 10 hour games to wait to win. But some games like oblivion and fallout 3 i love and i can beat them fine BUT i seem to have an issue with killing everyone and everything. Like some one in fallout 3 will try to help me and ill kill them =[
Same here my friend.Jhil said:
