Multiplayer gaming... sigh

[GuideBot]

I'm excessively good at picking things up really, really fast. It's a gift. Without wanting to sound too much like an arrogant ass (which is virtually impossible when you're me...=) ), this means that I generally own at most videogames and other activities with a hand-eye and/or cognitive element.

Except dancing, actually. I have to be absolutely wasted to stand any chance of not looking like a total prat...

It really depends on the game, and when i get it in comparison to how long it has been out. im not to good at tf2 because the community is so experianced, but im quite good at bfbc2 because ive been playing it since day 1 (well minus one)

I think you're just working with a to rigid system. You memorize these things when you should just be playing, plans are overrated and prevent you from adapting. Just go with the flow. Act as things come to you, never before hand. If faced with an immediate threat let your instincts take over, true combat is primal.

Follow this advice and you will be as good as me.

I'm good sometimes, and that counts for everything. I either have a great day of gaming, bowling, etc, or an awful day of gaming, bowling, etc. I'm sporadic like that. But now...

I own in my Pokemon game.

I'm so horrendously bad at first person shooters. No matter how much I play, I can't get used to the controls. The whole having to use both joysticks to move AND move your camera angle has always just been really jerky and confusing for me. Screw multiplayer online FPSs...or just FPSs in general....

 

[NoseDigger]

If I haven't played for a while, then I might need a round or two to get back into it. I'm generally one of the top scorers, and I'd think I can 'casually mangle anyone' in my way.

Unless the game is lacing depth. I always find it frustrating how somone says they can master a game in a month. If you can become a pro if it so easy. free money for you.

Well master is a very vague term.

As time goes on multiplayer games evolve, you can master a game in 2 weeks, but then a few days later new tactics have been developed.

I will use Gears Of War and Halo 3 as examples.

I got Gears a few months after launch and I loved it, so I played it a lot. I say I mastered it because I knew the maps inside out, and knew all these little tricks to increase my odds of winning. Now however I am terrible at the game, partially because I'm more used to FPS games and because the online has 'evolved'.

Such as in Halo 3. I was one of the first people online to use a bubble shield as an offensive strategy. Meaning throwing a grenade into the centre and jumping out so the person inside would die or have no shields and be exposed. So for a short while I had mastered Halo 3 because of how good I was at it.

I then started playing other games for a while and half a year later I went back to Halo. Everyone was playing differently to what I remember, new strategies had been thought up. Proper sword fights had been replaced with 'B bashing' and the online felt completely different.

I'm still pretty good at Halo but nowhere near as good as I used to be.

And seriously I absolutely cannot play fighting games...

never really do good enough to pwn noobs but until someone bitches about it I don't give a damn
hell tf2 I prefer heavy cause it gives me an excuse to run in and get shot

 

[ghostdog20]

I have the twitch for shooters but when it comes to RTS and strategy games, I am terrible. Which is weird because I love strategy games.

'Maybe if I hide behind this fridge he won't see me!​

Try hiding behind a fridge, and not a washing machine/dryer/oven.

Seriously though, yeah, some people aren't that good at multiplayer gaming. That's why I have no interest in this whole XBox Live thing that all the kids seem to be talking about these days.

That and my internet connection has the consistency of separated Jello.

Keep in mind that playing fighting games such as SF4 pretty much sucks with the 360 controller. By far the shittiest D-pad on consoles and the analog stick does not substitute as an arcade stick.

I like coop gaming better then competitive. Favorite game atm is Castlevania HD.

 

[RikSharp]

For F-zero though, I'm pretty godly, and even after not playing it for a year I could whip all the master cups on my first or second try. Why does no one else play this game?

sigh...

ditto, i spent a sily amount of time playing f-zero x on the GC. got my death race time down to 14 seconds.

OT, am alright at multiplayer games, dont play them often and when i do it's usually with friends (i.e. no random xbox live bs)
would probably get my ass handed to me if i played anyone who is actually any good tho.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

I'm pretty good on everything. Except RTS games.

Every time I go against a human I get annihilated. Every, damn, time. No matter how long I practice, how hard I try, I just lose and lose completely.

And yet I love RTS games... Odd.

I have a similar dilemma...

 

[KaiRai]

I like to think it's not a co-incidence that COD is an anagram of OCD.

I'm ok at multiplayer games. I kind of luck out. Sometimes I'm like 36-4 TDM, most times It's a pretty even spread, maybe negative K/D.

I guess I sometimes get lucky that everyone who isn't as good as me can get dumped into the same game.

I like to think I improved with COD:WAW though.

 

[Skorpyo]

I am an abomination in multiplayer.

Co-op? Just fine. CTF? I'll be the runner. Deathmatch? Hell naw.

 

[jultub]

I don't play FPS games, so I wouldn't know. In other words, I suck at FPS games, and it's no fun getting my ass completely handed to me every time, so I don't play them.

I'm ok at most other game types though.

 

[GeneticallyModifiedDucks]

I'd say I'm somewhere in between. For the most part I can naturally win without too much effort, but I won't be going to the top without breaking a sweat.

 

[Abengoshis]

I love multiplayer gaming, even though i'm not usually good at it if it's competitive.

Overall I prefer single player games, for example Metroid games. Although oddly I was REALLY good at the MPH multiplayer. xD

 

[Lordmarkus]

I'm pretty much stunning at FPS's.

Love the fact that I can jump in at random TDM server on CoD 4 with my trusted MP5 and score around 80/30 but still don't win.

RTS's on the other hand I fail horribly, even if I love the genre.
