I am abysmal at First Person Shooters, but nothing was going to stop me from beating Crysis and Deus Ex. Where there's a will, theres a way.......or an easy mode......

 

[Nymerio]

PUBG, Dota 2

 

[NoKisum]

Fighting Games: The Thread
For me, mainly Smash Bros, Skullgirls and DOA

Also, Puyo Puyo

Honorable mention to Cave Story, because the areas involved in True Ending has driven me wild. I've still never properly beaten it.

 

[Manu]

 

[eXistor]

The entire shoot 'em up genre. Love the heck out of em, but I can't really commit to one game to really get good at them.

 

[Puru]

Fighting games and shmups, the later in particular.
I think beating Suguri in it's hardest settings is what i'm the most proud of.

 

[Peltz]

Rocket League - I've probably played over 300 hours of it but I still can't only get a Gold ranking...... but I still love it and its the best sports game I've ever played

Yep. I've never gotten above a gold ranking in RL but it's still my favorite game.

 

[Klappdrachen]

Love me some Tekken, but oh boy am I trash at it.

Yeah, this. I still had a lot of fun with them though!

 

[Umbooki]

The DJ Max series might apply here. I love rhythm games and I'm pretty good at them, but once you incorporate more than 4 main buttons (left, up, triangle, and circle usually), I fall apart real quick. Compared to some of the godlike people abroad and here in the US, I'm garbage.

 

[Ryukori]

Age of Empires II

 

[wtd2009]

Souls games. Suck at em, only finished one, but man are they addicting.

 

[Ravelle]

The entire shoot 'em up genre. Love the heck out of em, but I can't really commit to one game to really get good at them.

I'd say I'm pretty good at Titanfall but it's not good at keeping me hooked on the game itself.

 

[salaciousdrift]

Spelunky. I don't even try to get to Hell on runs anymore.

 

[Poppy]

Spelunky. I don't even try to get to Hell on runs anymore.

you can do it though if you keep a dream alive in your heart

and it feels soooooo good to finish

 

[Necron]

Wipeout... but I love the visuals, sound and sense of speed.

 

[killatopak]

Fighting Games The Thread.

 

[arigato]

Tekken, Overwatch, and Rocket League.

I'm similar with Beatmania IIDX (though I hope to get better since I started less than a year ago and have been playing on and off, and my limit is probably more around 5-6 buttons).

 

[JamesJoyce1882]

All Cave shmups.

 

[gafneo]

Smash Bros. If only they added a lock on feature. I'm always facing the wrong way.

 

[Jer]

Geometry Wars style shmups. I love GW3 and Everyday Shooter, but I'm so bad at them, it's kind of embarrassing.

 

[MrS]

CoD PVP. I'm so bad but it scratches the itch for sure.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

I suck at most games I really like.

Souls games would probably be my best answer. My PvP record is like 1W for every 20Ls. I still persevere through the whole games though.

 

[dragonzdogma]

I suck at most games I really like.

Did you know that impatience is the number one killer amongst all gamers?

 

[tiebreaker]

Puyo Puyo Tetris. I keep losing online matches and yet still love the game.

 

[Icelandic_Jazz]

Beatmania. Really fun even if you never get good at it.

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

Breath of the Wild. I often take way too much damage despite being a series veteran.

 

[archreaper93]

All fighting games and RTS games.

I'm ass at them, but still love them.

 

[ambar_hitman]

Injustice 2.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Bayonetta. I think I only earned stone medals through out.

 

[Currygan]

Im fucking terrible at RTSes, yet can't stop playing them. Heck even the Bantu fired a nuclear missile at me in RON while i was still making jets and shit

 

[graffix13]

Battletoads for NES. Still after all these years.

Bullet Hell games. Love them but Game Over for me 10 seconds in.

 

[Schucky Ducky]

Downwell. Haven't gotten past level 3-1. Still love it so much.

 

[Opa-Pa]

I've never not ended in last place in Neo Turf Masters but I still play it every night before sleeping lol. It's so good.

 

[eso76]

MGS3 definitely.
I am such a lousy player, always reveal my position, always trigger alarms, always have to deal with situations the Rambo way.

I never had the patience to put up with the camera and controls but I really love the game

Also Puyo Puyo.
Weird because I'm generally good at those games, but Puyo Puyo always felt like I was missing something fundamental about the mechanics and felt harder than it should have been

 

[gelf]

I love fighting games even if my level of mastery rarely goes beyond being able to pull off the special moves and only the most basic of combos.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Most fighters

 

[Coda]

All Cave shmups.

Haha me too, I can only beat the first 2-3 levels in most of them without dying but I love how fun and beautifully 2D they are.

 

[TwiztidElf]

Overwatch and Starcraft

I adore the Terran/Zerg/Protoss paradigm so much that I wish they'd do something more with it than just the rts. (Yeah, yeah HOTS - doesn't count).

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Smite, a buddy and I are true cancer to our teams.
Yet we laugh our asses off everytime we play!

 

[DSix]

Starcraft, Warcraft, and Dawn of War series.

I'd play the campaigns on easy and I'm getting wrecked in MP, but I still have a good time when I'm not getting too destroyed.

 

[ghibli99]

Pretty much any quality 2D fighting game.
