We all have games that we suck at . You know the game that if anybody saw you playing they'd think you suck at videogames . Games you can barely beat on easy , or games you just can't wrap your head around . Games that make you feel like an idiot especially when you see other people playing it with ease.

I got three .

1) Resonance of fate . I swear this game makes me feel like i have a mental disability , i just don't get it . I saw someone playthis on a live stream once and was marveled at how well he was doing and how bad i was at it . I could barely beat regular enemies pet alone bosses . I have no idea how anything works in that game , even after doing the tutorial 3 times .

2) Agrest war : Zero . I like Japanese strategy games , i loved FF tactics , disgaea and growlansers , but this , this is the hardest and most confusing game i have ever played in my life . I would LOVE to finish it , but it takes me like an hour to beat a battle , and bosses destroy me in a few turns . I restarted this game twice because i was motivated , but for me personally this game hates me with a passion . I'm just so bad at this game it depresses me . There are three games in this series to date , and i'm assuming many people bought/finished these games for it to get 2 sequels. Depressing .

3) Blazblue. HOLY SHIT . I can barely beat the AI on easy , i'm not new to fighting games , i have played over the years Soul calibur, tekken , MVC3 , Street fighter and recently Persona 4 Arena , but Blazblue has me stumped . I understand nothing about this game , i can even block properly , this is how dumb this game makes me . It's like my mind can't grasp the mechanics of this game . My IQ much drop 100 points as soon as the title screen pops up . I'm so pathetically bad at this game , i can't even win with the easiest character on easy despite spending abot 50 hours in training mode . I'd be embarassed to play this in front of anybody .

Note that i'm not saying these are bad games , i would love nothig more than to be good at these games , but i have to admit defeat and realise that i am personally terrible at them despite the time and effort i have invested in them . There games have me beat , and i must hang my head in shame .

Your Turn.

UMVC3. No question. I still can't do that damn shoryuken motion to save my life. Plus all those swaggy 5 minute long combos are too mainstream. Nobody expects me to win with the standard day one combos all day!

Oh and LoL. Yeah i've been playing it for a few months straight now. Yeah I still suck, what of it? I'm liking how Poppy is so simple to beast with now i've picked her back up. Get ganked by jungler? Press R on the jungler, kill the jungler and walk away.

You know the horrible tunnel vision you get in teamfights and chases? Y'know "Rarg must focus the carry *runs through 4 other people and gets mauled*" That's Poppy's forte.

I feel like The Terminator.

"Sarah Fortune?"

"Yeah?"

"You are terminated. By DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY!"

If you do seriously suck as badly at LoL as you say you do, don't make my mistake. Keep playing LoL. Don't move to Dota 2 yet. On the bright side, I don't think I suck at LoL any more - I suck a lot worse at Dota.

Also, pretty much every fighting game ever, with the possible exception of Super Smash Bros.

Megaman. I love playing platformers and can hold my own pretty well in them, but for some reason I can't wrap my brain around Megaman. I barely get far in them, like beat a robot master or 2, and then that's it.

Halo multiplayer. I always die unless I have something like spartan laser. Even if I get a two second drop on someone they still turn around and kill me. I'll run up and melee someone but then they melee me and I die even when I hit them first. I use bumper jumper and hop around a lot but it doesn't help. I try vehicles but they make me a bigger target. I can no scope snipe people sometimes and that's my only chance of getting a kill. I tried using the scope a few times but my targets move around so much it's distracting.

Modern Warfare 3 "yes i am a COD fan" I am simply amazing at Black ops in multiplayer but MW3 I feel like a damn meat shield for the better player dead in 30 sec most of the time. Damn its annoying.

I'm bad at driving games in general. Well, I'm not horrible but I just can't get the rythm or feel in driving games that I get in other games.

Frozen Synapse. I love strategy, and most of the time I'm pretty decent at it, but that game just completely throws me. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing and most of the good stuff I did on it was pure coincidence.

Knights in the Knightmare, hands down. I just can't understand it :< It's fun, but by the gods I suck at it.

Despite being a fan of the Street Fighter franchise, I still suck at the game for the most part. It's mainly because I don't have the time to learn the moves literally. I mean my bro own the game and he only bring it over when he staying over so I have a limtied time to play it and those time are not spend on learning the moves!

Also I suck at Donkey Kong Sountry Return so bad that I used Super Kong for most of the levels and the final boss! It's ironic that I was pro back in the Snes Donkey Kong Country, I just don't know what went wrong!

Gonna have to second this.

What annoys me is I was fantastic at Gran Turismo 3 but any other racing game I suck giant hairy monkey balls at.

Even on things like Grand Theft Auto and Sleeping Dogs I can't drive for toffee.

Really shameful thing to admit but in the vast majority of games involving any driving ... my 13 year old daughter helps me.

Probably the whole tactical isometric RPG. I'm not too bad at anything that I can think of but I always seem to screw up in isometric RPGs, partly due to me, partly due to the RNG fucking me over.

I'd just say 2 particular genres. Yes I suck at entire GENRES of videogames.

First Person Shooter, and Real Time Strategy.

Holy crap, those games can be fun to play but it's harder to enjoy when I am just flat out incompetent at it.

Um...


I honestly have a hard time thinking about a certain game, so I will just say a genre in general:


Fighting games. Only because I have to say one, I am not good but I am just kinda averague-y. Except with Smash Bros. I love that series.

All Fighting games outside of Mortal Kombat, Tekken and SSB.

Also FPS, Just generally aiming a crosshair is something I struggled with for example I declare myself pretty awesome at the Batman Arkham games, but trying to aim Nightwings Wrist Darts is something I find unusually difficult.

In single player games i don't really have an achilles heel...i just beast everything the computer can throw at me.

Multiplayer though...i can't bring myself to just spam the super moves to win everything and it boils my piss that people would do it to me...which is why i shun multiplayer (except the leaderboards). Single one out...err...deadliest warrior 2 multiplayer...the other players were complete bastards and spoiled it for me.

TF2. I don't what it is about that game but I'm bloody awful at it.

Also all RTS games.

My laptop can't run DOTA 2 anyway even though I have a beta key so no worries there. That's one thing LoL got right. They designed the game around being playable on the shittiest little PC ever and it works.

I'm not that bad, I just fuck up my camera position a bunch and can't play any AD Carry. Seriously AD Carries are such balls. I love you Easy Mode Ezreal, sorry Fortune, you're stuck in second place. XD

Though I do fuck shit up really badly when i'm not comfortable with a character. I will fail the easiest kills ever just because I don't play character X enough. I did have an amazing 3v1 tower dive triple kill with my failtard Vayne though. To be honest they were diving me with WW, Graves and Leona, they're pretty right click oriented I believe.

Yeah dive the person who can roll around a lot, turn invisible and has a (quite specific) stun. Pro.

Still if I really can't be bothered I can just go top with Fiora and proceed to destroy with absolute ease. Early game damage is just too good.
