You love it, yet you suck at it?

[goatzilla8463]

unrealistic shooters like halo. i am stupidly good at cod though.

I love me some TF2, but ask me to be anything besides a Pyro or a Medic, and I will die horribly.

I'm the same, except I can't play as the Pyro or Medic eiter.
I will always die horribly when playing TF2.

 

[ace_of_something]

Oh Team Fortress 2 definitly; I am terrible at that game. I think because I play all the classess nearly equally so instead of being really good at one I'm 'weak to crappy' with all.

 

[TheGreenManalishi]

All games. In terms of gaming I'm a jack-of-all-trades.

 

[hopeneverdies]

TF2 and Audiosurf, thank god the latter doesn't punish you too horribly for being shit

 

[massau]

i have bad luck in love and i like sandbox games with cars as a travelling system not racing but i cant drive

 

[H.R.Shovenstuff]

RTS for me too, I suck but I love the whole concept.

 

[bue519]

Am I just weird or is it ok to love something you truly suck at.

You see I love RTS games, but at the same time I can't micro worth crap so I normally end up doing extremely bad online and can often only beat the campaign on the easiest setting. Hell before the added difficulty settings to most RTS games I normally couldn't even beat the campaigns if they had no cheats (Orignal C&C + Red Alert, Starcraft + Warcraft)

Am I alone here? Or are there others like me?

-P.S
I also love turn based strategy games and I'm actually pretty good at those! No micro needed >.>

Well Considering that those RTS are some of the hardest ever. Its really no surprise. I'm still working on beating Star Craft Brood War, and I got the game years ago. But, eventually I will kill those cerebrates.

Sex?

Beat me to it. Damn.

I would have to say music. I love music, and in theory I knwo how to play, I know the notes and how to read music. BUT I CAN'T FOR THE LOVE OF MY LIFE DO IT!

Same here. I can see every note of a song, essentially, pass before my eyes. I just cannot put it into practice. Im sure if I had time to work at it I could, the problem is that I dont.

RTSs in general tend to be tougher online, or at least less intuitive as one needs to have a specific strategy before the game starts in order to win (eg: in Starcraft one might aim to get Lurkers or Dark Templars as your first units and attack with them before your opponent has detectors available).
Personally I'm pretty bad at RTSs when playing PvP, though i love them single-player.

 

[quack35]

Planetside, for sure.

Drumming, I can barely drum the intro to Back In black by AC/DC, but still it gives my unparalleled joy.

Talking to girls I like.

hahahahehehe....

[Sporky111]

I really suck at first person shooters, yet I am addicted to the Halo games. Half Life 2 is just as fun, yet I also can't really play.

Portal, however, is one of the games I am the best at. . . Not sure how that works.

Well, those 2 are easy to learn. Since they both rely on constant streams. One is aimed at enemies and the other at friendlies.

 

[sadpolice]

CoD4 online, I suck at it but still love it to bits.

 

[hotacidbath]

Racquetball. I love to play it but I suck out loud. I was teaching someone to play who had never picked up a racket and she beat me on our second game.

 

[Blow_Pop]

FPS....I love shooting the shit out of people real or not through games and for the life of me can't. Actual real guns I'm amazing at. Dont worry I only shoot cans and paper targets.
Combos in platforming games(ie PoP)
Love...

 

[Ghost]

all fps, except tf2 for some reason
