What game are you bad at yet you love it?

[babinro]

Any FPS game on the market.

I'll struggle on most of them on easy mode.
I coudln't even beat Resistance 3 on casual.
Get me online and I'm the guy who dies every 6 seconds.

I'm terrible at platformers these days as well. I used to tear it up with Mario, Ninja Gaiden, and Donkey Kong Country back in the day but give me a game like Super Meat Boy or Rayman Legends and I probably can't beat it anymore. I've lost my touch with those games over the years.

Any online game in any genre ever. Seriously, as good as you are compared to your group of friends and people you know...you always come off as horrid compared to the online community.

Pretty much any large scale, turn-based strategy game (or ones with RTS elements in them). The Total War Games, Fallen Enchantress, Galactic Civilizations, Heroes of Might and Magic, etc. I love the games to death, but I'm friggin terrible at them. I don't think I've beaten a single one on anything above easy, and with the HoMM games, I don't think I've even managed that (though in my defense, the last few HoMM games have been insanely hard).

I guess COD Multiplayer I'm not good at, but I still play it anyway. Another game would be Injustice, since my reflex aren't up to those who play fighting games, but how can you not enjoy a game on some level that has Superman Punching Joker in to Space and slamming him down on the ground and Joker still lives?

The Saboteur. it's a buggy mess with a pretty generic plot and a main character who's so obviously and yet so loosely based on William Grover Williams that if he was made of metal he would fall of a magnet. yet, it's one of my all time favorite games.

I absolutely fucking suck at strategy games, both turn-based and RTS. If I can beat the game on normal/medium difficulty instead of just easy it's a very good day. But I love'em. Everything from Age of Empires to Civilization to Total War to Company of Heroes to Command and Conquer.

I've been playing Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 lately, and get a patriotic chuckle whenever I select a Multigunner IFV.

Hotline Miami. Not going to say anything else. I am so bad at locking on to the right enemy and ending up getting my face eaten off by a dog I didn't see even though I cleared every enemy from the floor.

 

[MoreThanANoob]

Fire Emblem. Great stories, good characters. If only I knew how to strategize.

I always seem to hit a point in the games where I can't quite break through. Sometimes it's a little over halfway through, other times I get right up to the last chapter before I just have to call it a day.

 

[Mzuark]

COD. I'm pretty bad, but it's just so fun to try and better myself.

 

[Vern5]

Civilization. All of them. I love the idea of creating a society and leading them through various stages of cultural development but I cannot balance my priorities at all. I can specialize the shit out of whatever culture I'm playing as so I usually end up as a cultural giant or an economic superpower but then that just usually leads to me getting raped by a neighboring warlike nation.

Surprisingly, I'm really good at fantastical 4X games like Master of Magic or Warlock.

So far for me it's Fire Emblem Awakening.

I really like how it has me strategize and think about every move I make, and how it punishes me for mistakes.

It can be pretty frustrating at times, and a lot of the time, I don't realize the best way to get through a level without restarting a few times.

Still, seeing my characters get through the battle, talk to each other and sometimes marry each other makes it all worth it.

Sumia, Tharja, Nowi, Lon'qu, Panne, Morgan, Maribelle, Libra, I swear to get you all through this game. No matter how many times I have to restart!

You collected all the trinkets on VVVVVV? That, sir, puts you on god tier. That damn space station one- after several hours of trying I gave up. I never could manage the super gravitron either.
OT: I'm a bit naff at competitive pokemon but that doesn't stop me from trying. I actually won some free battles recently, using the totally not overpowered team of Protean Greninja, Multiscale Dragonite and Mega Gengar. Thank god for destiny knot.

 

[Orange12345]

Every strategy game ever. I am probably one of the worst strategists ever, yet I own over twenty strategy games and I play them all frequently.

Can relate, my master strategy is to have 3-4 times more units then my opponent, so yea sun tzu level stuff
