What is your favorite game genre that you suck at?

[Leemaster777]

Let me tell you all a bit about my gaming habits.

I'm a fairly good gamer, in my opinion. I'm good at RPGs, action games, and I'm pretty damn good at platformers.

But one of my favorite genres of games are fighting games. Blazblue, Street Fighter 4, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, the recent years have really been scratching my fighting game itch. And the future only looks brighter, with both Marvel vs Capcom 3 and the new Mortal Kombat on the way.

I love fighting games. And I totally suck at them. Frankly, I am just not good at them. I'm OKAY at Brawl, but that's about the extent of my fighting game ability. I own every one of the games I listed there, but I wouldn't last 5 minutes online with any one of them.

Do any of you have something like this, a game genre that you're just no good at, but love none the less?

RPG, I guess.

I always just stick with the plain old warrior class.

I'm awful at sports games in general, yet I'm oddly addicted to the NHL 11 Demo I downloaded from PSN, and if I can scrape together the chance, theres a good chance of me buying it.

I have the same problem with fighting games, never was able to be good at street fighter or the like, was always better at RTS's and FPS shooters than games like street fighter. Sports games are the same, however I dislike playing those.

Fantasypunk brawlers.

Cookie for the reference?

I'm only good at certain fighting games, but I really like most of them. Most genres I'm bad at are out of a lack of interest, except for real-time strategy, which I'd love to play if I wasn't so shit.

RTS is my runner-up in this catagory. But it doesn't quite make it, as the only RTS I LOVE is Starcraft.

RTS. I love Starcraft and its successor. I love AOE. I love Warcraft II, III, and Frozen Throne. But I am ridiculously terrible. I just don't have the amazing mind to multitask handling an army and handling an economy, or in RTS lingo, "micro" and "macro", respectively... I think...
I can handle an economy just fine, I can make a Dragoon squadron dance with the best of them, I just can't do the job of a banker and a general.

 

[TheTaco007]

RTS. Starcraft is probably the coolest game I've ever played, but I'm TERRIBLE at it.

 

[GoldenEyedScout]

Does all of them count?

I'm a pretty average gamer in most genres, but there is one I suck at.

Fighting games.

Street Fighter, Tekkan, Mortal Kombat etc. etc. Get beat down hard every time.

I really liked starcraft and now that I got it and I've played many games against the AI, I feel like I might try an online game soon. But before I was absolutely horrible at them.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

RTS, i love the genre, but im really quite bad at it, my friend ALWAYS beats me at ANY RTS, and whenever i play online it gets even worse, i lose in under 10 minutes.

 

[Veloxe]

RTS. I really liked Red Alert 2 and Supreme Commander but I can only play against computers. My obsession to detail in terms of my base layout and troop movement means I take too long to react and get obliterated by most human opponents.

 

[shreedder]

RTS. It has been said by many before me. It is so much fun, but if you are not good at insane multitasking you will suck

 

[Kae]

Both RTS and Fighting games I love them but I just plain suck at them specially RTS I played StarCraft for 3 years and my profile only had 3 wins JUST 3 that is 1 win per year and I spent entire weeks playing that game on multi player without stopping and in 3 years I had 3 wins my lost games were in around 2000 so I doubt you can find anyone that sucks more than I do.
HEH... I see that a LOT of people said RTS I bet all of them can win against me... the only RTS that I do not suck so badly at is Star Wars: Empire at War and it's only because the quantity of units that you can have is very small but then again when I got it the servers were already closed and I cannot use the Steam servers unless I rebuy it...

 

[Arctodus_Simus]

I love RPG's to death, but I must admit I'm pretty bad at them.

Too much fun to quit though

 

[Denomoses]

RTS mainly starcraft 2

 

[DirgeNovak]

Racing. Gran Turismo 5 was the first time I realized why there's a brake button in those games. I am getting better, but I'm pretty sure I'll never give up the potty training panties that are the racing line and other driving aids.

 

[Defense]

Hard puzzle games.

Generally though, the hard puzzle games are hard because they're unfair. They tend to have cryptic messages and/or really large dungeons that have easily missable spots that are absolutely necessary to pass through the dungeon.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Destruction Racing games. Anything besides Burnout Revenge and I'm pretty damn useless. Still fun though.
