Games you WISH you were good at.

[Fortesque]

I really, really like the concept and idea of the Armored Core games.

I love the idea of giant robot with massive weapons locked in fast and intense combat. However, i am totally shit house at these games. I have no idea about building a good AC, dont know what are good weps and not and always seem to lose my targeting 5secs into a mission.

I have tried to practice and figure it out, but I just cant.

 

[Mcupobob]

I'm pretty good at most games but what I would like to do is beat a mmmorpg or the sims, but I lack the will...

 

[Ultra_Caboose]

I hear you. I think the last AC game I played - and was good at - was the third one on the PS1. after that, I just kinda fell out of it, and every time I play now I completely suck.

I've never been worth a damn with fighting games either. Sure, I learn about 5-10 moves for a character and make sure not to button mash, but I can never seem to win... especially against friends, I'm always the first one to lose in Brawl... The only exception would be Gundam Battle Assault 1 and 2, for some reason I am awesome at those games. Every other fighting game on the planet, major suck-ness.

 

[Ciarang]

I am good at all games I want to be good at ?
If I wanted to be good at a game I'll just practice =P

 

[Maeshone]

SWAT 4... Whenever we play it at a LAN, everytime I get my ass handed to me repeadetely by a girl (Wouldn't be so bad if we weren't pretty equal in every other game)

Don't think it helps that I usually end up on the same team as this guy who thinks it's hilarious to repeadeately tazer me in the nuts...

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

I'd say any of the Call Of Duty's. I'm pretty good but not godly by any means, I've gotten to the point where I do a little better than break even on my K/D ratio. I wish I could run around and absolutely own people, because killing sprees are such a good feeling, but I don't nearly have the time to invest in that.

 

[Kilaknux]

Starcraft. I really like that game, and I like playing it, but I really suck at micro and lack the patience to learn. I'm not too bad at overall strategy, though.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Combo games like Soul Calibur 4 and Ninja Gaiden 2, racing simulators like Gran Turismo and rhythm games ala Guitar Hero.

For combo games, I just can't remember all the combo's, choose which one to use in the correct situation and execute them, all that in a split second.

In driving simulators, I fail at making corners.

As for Guitar Hero, I think that's just a matter of practice.

 

[SonicKoala]

I wish I were a little better at FPS's, particularly games like Counterstrike and Call of Duty. I'm alright, but I certaintly could use more practice, which I just don't seem willing to invest.

 

[Kermi]

I'd love some godlike FPS abilities, I'm average at best when it comes to Halo 3's multiplayer and struggle on the hardest difficulties for most any other FPS game (I think I got about a third of the way into COD4 on Veteran before giving up - which might be a good thing given how much I was dreading the fairground at the end of the flashback level).

 

[latenightapplepie]

I tried Forza Motorsport 2 the other day with all the assists turned off (to get a couple of achievements) and the difficulty turned all the way up and even though I used a car vastly superior to my opposition , it was heinously difficult. Keeping track of gearing, the driving line, my opponents, my own speed, the attitude of my car - it was a fairly haunting experience that reminded me of how easy I had it normally.

To be able to conquer that kind of hardcore, uncompromising stimulation style of racer without breaking a sweat would be a wonderful thing.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

COD4

I have invested lots of time into this game and I still only get positive KD ratios 75% of the time, and that's playing slowly and defensively.

I think I have to face the fact that it is not my forte...

 

[ThePirateMan]

Wc 3 (not counting custom maps and the campaign, I kick ass on those most of the time)
Counter-Strike Source
Dungeons and Dragons Online, the game just confuses me :S

 

[sirdanrhodes]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky, I am on medium, and Christ it's hard!

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

It'd be nice to be at least half-way decent a racers, although I don't play them that much, but it would mean I didn't always come last at parties.

Also, FPSs. I'm not bad at FPSs, but on every one I've played I've kinda been bordering on an average player as opposed to a good player.

Halo 3s MP isnt really that skill based anyway, people just unload and then toss a nade at the enemies feet.

That 'strategy' is called noob rushing, and takes no skill. However, that calibre of player is someone even I, a self-confessed average player, laugh at.

 

[The_Healer]

All RTS's.

Wow i'm bad.

 

[blankedboy]

I wish I was good at DoD:S.
