What games do you flat-out suck at?

[Kaymish]

ball sports games and stalker shadow of Chernobyl i just cant get past the second job the guy who saves you gives

 

[ShakerSilver]

Sports games and Tekken-style fighting games.

 

[neoontime]

About every stealth game. I have no patience.

 

[societysatfault]

Racing games, i don't know why but i fail super hard at them.

 

[Unorthodoxx]

I'm absolutely awful at RTS games, I could sit and build a defense all day long, but I will always be wiped out quickly. I'm so so with realistic racing games like Forza and Gran Turismo, it seems like the more unrealistic the racing game the more god like I am. And I cannot forget sports games, I just can't really grasp how to advance in them so I'm usually quite awful.

 

[Angeryterrano]

Quake 4 online i just get hammered

 

[Donald L]

First Person Shooters.

 

[ireskimo]

Splinter cell. They just don't work in my hands. I don't know why. I tried them years ago and i tried them a few weeks ago. I just can't do it.

 

[Fidelias]

Rts games. I guess I just suck at any strategy that doesn't involve charging the enemy with guns or swords. Or guns AND swords.

Edit: Oh, and also fighting games. Why can't I just SHOOT the idiots?

 

[Tipsy Giant]

Smash Brothers, can't get used to it at all and all my friends are great at it, oh and MVC2 as well, maybe they practice? I never play them on my own

 

[CleverNickname]

RTS.
I never played C&C, I played one round of StarCraft when it first came out and only got 1 and 2 this year, played WarCraft2 mostly with cheats, barely managed to get through WarCraft3, but cheated again at the end of Frozen Throne, only really played Galactic Battlegrounds because it's Star Wars and for the same reason played Empire at War - on easy.

I'm too slow and deliberate, my main MO is turtling -> researching -> steamrolling; which most games don't actually allow to be a viable strategy.
Especially the oh so fabled StarCraft, apparently. Against random people (or even the AI...) you lose against early rushes, and even when playing with a friend who agrees not to lolrush, the one who gets to the expansions first wins (which is also true in EaW MP). That's a stupid system and I don't get why people like it.

Sins of a Solar Empire was the only one where I could do what I do and once I conquered a 250+planet galaxy three times it got kinda boring. And it counts, it's not really 4X, it's real-time 3-and-a-half-X.

And looking at the various Civilizations, I'm probably too dumb for turn-based strategy.

Warhawk, I don't know what it is but, maybe I joined the party too late but I get my ass kicked up and down the street until I call uncle. Too bad too, its a really fun game.

Yea I often get my ass handed to me in that one but I still love it and play it all the time. However, while I get shot out of the sky a lot, I am a crafty fighter on the ground who?s very good at concealing mines and sneaking up on people. Still, I spend most my time getting shot out of the sky. Then again, it depends on what music is playing: if I got The Go Team blaring Titanic Vandalism, I do a hell of a lot better.

And RTSs. I do fine on the sp campaigns but in multiplayer, I?m always getting overrun. Once again, it?s still a lot of fun.

I also get my ass kicked in fighting games but for some (like MvC) I love to just mash buttons with my friends.

 

[JimJamJahar]

Any rhythm based game and Fallout 3. Those two I suck at, I can't even finish Fallout 3

 

[Eolon]

RTS's, some racing games and Counter-Strike, pretty much.

 

[FalloutJack]

Need For Speed games.

You cannot tell me that these cars, which steer like bathtubs, are the pinnacle of physics-to-games operation. Not when, rather ironically, the bathtub in a Twisted Metal game (Sweet Tooth's ice cream truck) maneuvers easier.

The Need for Speed cars (except for possibly Shift/Pro Street as I never played those) all handle ridiculously well... like beyond what is physically possible. I'm confused.

Well, the answer there is...no, they really don't. You're simply use to them, whereas I am expectant of a proper response from my controls in, say, the manner I explained to someone else. (If you took the time to quote me, you can find the rest of that convo as well. This was just something on-topic and relevent, yo.)

You've got to be kidding me? The cars are so unrealistic that steering them is a breeze. For U/U2/MW/Carbon, let go of the accelerator, then floor it again when you go around the corner, insta-drift and control. If it's really sharp, tap the brake. I haven't played Pro street, or from hot-pursuit up to Underground.

We shit you not, fair reader! Them tubs handle like a horse with no name legs!

The point is that it doesn't respond like it should when you tell it to do things. If I am using the controller to turn right, for instance, it shouldn't calmly consider it the way a sloth considers - you know - moving. It should turn right, with varying degrees of effectiveness dependent on the degree in which I am wielding said controller. And if I'm JAMMING on that thing, then I'd better get two steps shy of fish-tailing, not slow and gradual maybe-turning.

This is not to disagree with your ability to handle the game. This is to keep in line with the topic and why. I bow to your skill in making crappy cars vroom to anywhere.

I probably came across a bit harsh in my previous comment (especially since I forgot that the NFS is not PC exclusive and thus can have a controller used on it. [Which except for shift I could never even consider]. My comment was more that while their system sucks if you just hold it down, you eventually learn that tapping brake or letting go of the accelerator for a second allows a lot more control. And your complaints are completely valid and used to drive me crazy too, I just kind of learnt to deal with 'em by getting around it.

 

[SpireOfFire]

RTS games. i love them, but i really suck at them. although i have improved in recent years.

 

[Korenith]

Team Fortress 2. I was so bad at that game it wasn't even funny but I usually hold my own in shooters. Maybe I just didn't play it enough but I always find CoD fits my playstyle more naturally. Just not a team player I guess.
