Games you love but suck at

Dead or Alive 4...I do fairly well in the single player and online, but locally with friends I get my ass handed to me every time...
And every shooter ever. I take too long to aim at enemies. I am, however, incredibly quick to pull the trigger anytime Francis(L4D) is between me and the infected. Friendly fire for the win!

lol, I'd assume it has less to do with you sucking and more to do with the fact that online players play waaaayy differently than the AI does. Or at least my friends do...they actually communicate with one another, they'll come up with strategies, and most of them play in the same group 90% of the time...so from what I've seen it might as well not even be the same game. Kinda like L4D online vs local...as long as the people you play with understand the definition of co-op the game experience isn't even close.miracleofsound said:
Unless he's talking about Dawn of War. I'm actually really good at the tabletop game but not terribly good at Dawn of War. I love to play through the campaigns and everything and I enjoy getting my ass whooped in online matches.Singularly Datarific said:
I also really like the Halo series but I'm not terribly good at it. I get by but I'm only really good at shooters when I'm working with mouse & keys.
Call of Duty 4. I'm decent at shooters, but for some reason I absolutely fail at CoD, which is why I'm slightlly dreading the release of MW2 and the catcalls of 'noob' it brings with it.
There's not many games I'm actually bad at, to be honest.
Most of them involve me loving them and working, and working, and working to get better (ie: X-Com, with a learning curve steeper than EVE imo...)
However, there are the few...The very few...That just...aklsjdfkasjl;
Examples:
-Warlords 2. (To give myself credit, it's been a long, long time...)
-Crazy Taxi 2 (I didn't feel like learning new routes after working on the first game so much)
-Competitive Starcraft PvZ (I never learned this matchup, because I just played TvZ instead most of the time...)
-Counter-Strike (Oddly enough, I feel so out of my element here. There is no armor to pick up, no weapons to pick up, no spots to ambush, no fast/difficult movement, and shooting while running is inaccurate. I'm not used to camping a room until someone runs into my crosshair or I line up a shot I've made 1,000 times before. I know I could beat them in UT or Q3A, but not there, I guess. Different kind of skills are required.)
-Heroes of Might and Magic (I was young, but I'd always get steamrolled because I didn't expand enough. Perhaps today I would do much better.)
-Golden Axe, Revenge of Shinobi, Contra: Hard Corps, etc... (Last time I booted these things up, I did much better, but it just takes a lot of time investment to memorize what is where and what to do vs what opponents...)
-Donkey Kong Country (Gimme a break, I got all the stars in Braid...How am I supposed to find everything in this game...>.<)
-Guitar Hero 3(After like 13 attempts I still choke on FCing Barracuda, and I still haven't 5 starred Raining Blood. -.-

The trick with the GH games is that there's widely varied difficulties. I can usually roll through most songs on Expert, but there's always a song or two that pop up and kick my ass. "Raining Blood" and "Satch Boogie" being the primary offenders.-616- said:
Another game I love but suck at is basketball. Also pool. I like 'em both, but generally never do well.
Excuse me sir, but are you implying I need a smidgen of skill in order to enjoy my online computer games?Singularly Datarific said:
Counter-Strike floor knifing, HWG ninja ambushes, CoD:WaW plunger spamming in the middle of an open field surrounded by snipers ftw.
Devil May Cry. I've beaten countless similar games, but for some reason this eludes me. I'm only halfway through after years of playing.
