I just recently bought my first call of duty game (MW3) for the xbox 360. It is the first fps I am playing online and it is hard. For now I am always at the bottom of the ranking list. I am getting better at a slow pace.
I used to play alot of fps on the PC and was good at them but the controler is not my type of input device :). I do see it as a challenge to get better with a controler. So maybe in time I will be at the top.

I suck at COD, I simply seem to always raise my gun way too late. I'm not too good at RTSs either.

First and foremost:
davidmc1158 said:
RTS

Started with the old Command and Conquer. Found out I was the one being conquered. I get too caught up with a battle in one corner of the board and then get flanked by another set of units. Every. Stinking. Time.
Exactly this. C&C introducing me to the Rts-genre, while at the same time presenting me the 1st Genre I immediatly sucked at even for beginner-standards...and hardly got much better with time.

Also (and this 1 is hard to admit as One of the infamous self-proclaimed forgotten Tekken-Gods of past console Generations,
demi-god of MK 1-3 and...a lil more than decent Guilty Gear X-clobbernaut):

*sigh*...I just suck at BlazBlue!
I do love it, but don't even get the mid-long combos to work properly in practice.
So...I avoided online-matches...sticking with the cpu so I still can feel competetive
The Shame...

Pretty much any and every shooter bar the Half Life series, Killing Floor (Not that I play it much), Painkiller and Serious Sam First/Second Encounter.

im terrible at RTS games. even with things like Warcraft 2, i was great at the custom paintball gametype, but the typical gametypes were the ones i could never win at. same thing with Warcraft 3, Starcraft 2, and Halo Wars. even when i felt like i was doing good, the opponents would suddenly just whip my ass.

I suck at League of Legends. I have played intermittently since Beta, got a nice Blue Adjudicator forum avatar, but I suck at the game.

In the chaos of combat, I occasionally lose my character in the myriad of colours, I make bad decisions regarding where to go and pick fights I sometimes can't win. I have to stick to face-roll characters like Malzahar to maintain a decent K:D ratio.

I kinda suck at bullet-hell games, though it's probably because I am not motivated enough to remember shooting patterns where you are only save in some pixels.

Pretty much every RTS game under the sun. I used to be really bad at BlazBlue as well but I'm slowly getting better at the various combos, it felt awesome when I won my first match online, with an Astral Finish no less.

I am (or was) rather good at RTSes. Back until around 2001, I managed to maintain a pretty rad BattleNET ladder score on Starcraft. Now I am merely reasonably good at them. Except for Age of Empires 3, which.. didn't sit with me for some reason.

I am quite decent all-round at FPSes, but hate most 3PS games, especially the retardedly oblong-cam 'over the shoulder' ones like Dead Space, which was, frankly, extremely disorienting.

I am average at fighting games, but anyone mashing buttons fast enough is average at fighting games, so I suppose by general gamer standards I suck at them. However some of them I suck more at than others, like Soul Calibur 3 and 4.

I can't make any excuses for my performance in Dragon Age though. When I first posted about the game I complained that the gameplay and level-up mechanics are unintuitive and impenetrable, and I completely missed out on any proper healers during my 3 day stint, but I have to concede after some distinguished thought that it is me who sucked and not the game.

And I am horrible. Horrible. At Super Smash Bros. But that may have to do with my lack of motivation to play the game well.

street fighter cannot get off some of the special moves nevermind the ultra combos.

Strategy games in general. One time I was playing C&C: Red Alert 2 in LAN with some friends (cause they really needed one more player) and ended up selling my base like 40 seconds into
match. For some reason I was never asked to play another RTS...

Any game. Seriously, name ANY game and I certifiable suck at it. Yet I still continue. Christ, I suck balls at Arkham City on normal difficult yet I'm still just about to start the New Game + mode for it.

All racing games except Burnout Takedown/Revenge, where you're encouraged to hit the other cars. I sort of look at the other cars and end up drifting towards them, whatever I play. I'm still amazed I got my license tbh.

The first two Metal Gear Solid games and any of the Hitman games.

It's kind of ironic with the latter, because Hitman is one of my favourite series. I suppose the fact that I suck so hard is what makes it doubly satisfying though when I finally hit the sweet spot and make it out without botching the stealth. Plus admittedly, even when I botch the stealth if I don't botch it enough without causing a massive shoot-out or fully compromising myself, it adds some tension covering my mistake and praying that doesn't fail too.

I also suck at these:

Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame
Fallout: Tactics
Dwarf Fortress
Battlefield 2 (For some reason, this is the ONLY Battlefield I suck at. I'm ace in just about every other one, especially 2142.)
Super Smash Bros. (Any of 'em)

Every game.

I can't play shooters, fighting games, and most action games because fast-paced games make me panic and lock up. I've never tried playing a strategy game, but I'm sure I'd be terrible at those too.

I really enjoy adventure and puzzle games, but I always end up looking up hints online just because I hate trial and error so much. I have to know if I'm on the right track or if I'm just wasting my time. So I think that means I'm bad at them.

I guess I'm not bad at RPGs (on easy mode), but most of them are just so tedious. Same with simulation games.

I'm pretty good at rhythm games though!

So yeah, only once in a blue moon does a game come along that I a. can play and b. enjoy.
