Anything by Paradox I fail at. They just intimidate me, but yet I love the idea of grand strategy so much I go back for more. >>
Medal of Honor beta, I swear it is the only game I have ever got really pissed off, and it was because I suck at it (even though I'm pretty good at CoD, honestly)
the rest, Soccer games, god I suck at them
except FIFA 98 for the N64, I'm at least decent there =P

Any sport game specially racing games
RPGs, the only times I've tried palying them I play them through without leveling up and at some point any enemy kills me with one hit.

most if not all fighting games (I tend button Mash)
Counter-Strike
Strategy games (Civilizations, Disgea, C&C, Star/Warcraft multiplayer..)
It quite upsets me that I suck at strategy games because so many of them look like they are lots of fun. Especially Disgea..that game is fuck'n awesome. Ive seen my close friend play that. But sadly..I just don't get them, they are confusing and overly difficult for me.

Pretty much any high-speed combo fighter. I think I must have finger dyslexia or something because I just can't get the flow of "see enemy starting such and such attack, identify what will block/counter it, rapidly batter a 10-button sequence into the console" down pat. It's infuriating to get repeatedly beaten so often by someone who's nerdgasmed over it practicing and learning this stuff (much as I do with sim-racers) and sucked the fun out for other people (which is why I tend to solo the racers, or only multiplayer with the stock car list).
If I'm forced into taking part (thankfully rare now i've convinced most beat-em-up kings i know that i'm not interested) then proceedings may well end in physical violence, possible a chair broken over someones head - counter THAT.
The slightly more older-school, slower paced ones, I can just about handle. Soul Edge/Soul Calibur are enjoyable. SF2 is sort of the limit... I can at least pull off most of the specials; but SF2 turbo with the speed turned up? Tekken? Or even IK+ on anything more than "swift"? Naw. Not happening. SF3 or later, or Capcom vs anything is DEFINITELY a non starter.
Sort of crap at the rhythm-actioners (DDR, Guitar Hero etc) but I maintain that's just sheer lack of opportunity and practice (and a flabby ass), and it's not utter hopelessness. Just unfamiliarity. I've got the rhythm and the melody. Odd, when you'd think that it'd be related to the fighters. Much the same button sequences anyway.
mediocre at extreme sports things and strategy/management sims (including even stuff like battle stations on facebook, or old maxis/microprose stuff). goes well for a while, but sort of falls flat when trying for the higher echelons.
competent with shooters, if not all that brilliant. can work as part of a CS team, say.
and i will wipe my own ass with your broken, crushed ego-corpse on racing or dogfight sims. i do however get a bit annoyed that the controller can't properly give the full feedback that you'd have behind the wheel/stick and make the occasional dumb mistake when e.g. misreading how much traction there is and trying to push the wheel "further" when it's already against the stops.

Halo, I just suck so bad. So, so, so bad. Don't ask me why, I can't figure it out. But it is truly depressing.
I don't even try. I have no idea how to do it.Blind Sight said:
What the hell is the point of a game where you are told what buttons to hit when anyway?
Uhm, let's see...
Every game ever invented before the Playstation became the major format. (That is, when the PS1 and 2 were out). I'm okay at the newer games, but I can never do much in games like the NES version of the Legend of Zelda. anything on either NES, SNES, Sega, etc etc I suck at.

Rts's usually. I love playing them, and I'm fine with campaigns... but if I try getting online... i'm screwed from the start. I don't even wanna talk about the last time I played Star Craft *shudders*
Music Genre games such as Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and even DDR, but at least with DDR I still have fun playing it the other two...really boring
I suck at any RTS games, I just feel stressed out when I play them. Have to manage so much stuff all at once, and then someone waltz's in and destroys a chunk of my base :C
I've never been good at MGS either, or any sort of competitive online multiplayer.
