Need For Speed games.

You cannot tell me that these cars, which steer like bathtubs, are the pinnacle of physics-to-games operation. Not when, rather ironically, the bathtub in a Twisted Metal game (Sweet Tooth's ice cream truck) maneuvers easier.
The Need for Speed cars (except for possibly Shift/Pro Street as I never played those) all handle ridiculously well... like beyond what is physically possible. I'm confused.
Well, the answer there is...no, they really don't. You're simply use to them, whereas I am expectant of a proper response from my controls in, say, the manner I explained to someone else. (If you took the time to quote me, you can find the rest of that convo as well. This was just something on-topic and relevent, yo.)

You've got to be kidding me? The cars are so unrealistic that steering them is a breeze. For U/U2/MW/Carbon, let go of the accelerator, then floor it again when you go around the corner, insta-drift and control. If it's really sharp, tap the brake. I haven't played Pro street, or from hot-pursuit up to Underground.
We shit you not, fair reader! Them tubs handle like a horse with no name legs!

The point is that it doesn't respond like it should when you tell it to do things. If I am using the controller to turn right, for instance, it shouldn't calmly consider it the way a sloth considers - you know - moving. It should turn right, with varying degrees of effectiveness dependent on the degree in which I am wielding said controller. And if I'm JAMMING on that thing, then I'd better get two steps shy of fish-tailing, not slow and gradual maybe-turning.

This is not to disagree with your ability to handle the game. This is to keep in line with the topic and why. I bow to your skill in making crappy cars vroom to anywhere.
I probably came across a bit harsh in my previous comment (especially since I forgot that the NFS is not PC exclusive and thus can have a controller used on it. [Which except for shift I could never even consider]. My comment was more that while their system sucks if you just hold it down, you eventually learn that tapping brake or letting go of the accelerator for a second allows a lot more control. And your complaints are completely valid and used to drive me crazy too, I just kind of learnt to deal with 'em by getting around it.

Team Fortress 2. I was so bad at that game it wasn't even funny but I usually hold my own in shooters. Maybe I just didn't play it enough but I always find CoD fits my playstyle more naturally. Just not a team player I guess.

Probably any console FPS. Since I'm only turning my head when I need to aim at something, I always seem to be looking in the wrong direction.

Racing games like Gran Turismo. I just suck at them, I never brake on time, I never know when to brke, I always go on the grass and just generally can't turn corners.

Although racing games like Crash Team Racing and Jak X I'm fine with :p

Racing game and I'm shameful that I'm now suck at side scrolling games like Donkey Kong Country return and Sonic Colours. I used to be good at playing those during the SNES time.

Any RTS game ever...of all time...Seriously, you let me construct an army and yet instead of allowing me to watch the battle you would rather have me stare and some base while supplies are produced from the weirdest places. I refuse to understand the amount of time you need to spend producing supplies versus producing troops or what troops need to be upgraded or what I should attack first or...well you get the point. I seriously can't play them for fun because eventually I'll think I'm doing everything right only for an army to zerg rush me or something and tell me that not only did I do everything wrong but that I'm an idiot and deserve to spend the next 20 minutes getting demolished. They hate me and I hate them.

Racing games - I always bump something when a turn comes up...i just don't know how to drift.
Fighting games - games like tekken...tried memorizing and practicing combos and got owned by someone who was randomly pressing buttons...i stopped playing games like that thereafter.

I love these mech games but for some reason I really suck at playing them multiplayer.

Most games actually. Fighting games specifically, but that doesn't stop them from being close to my favourite kind to play.

I will own anyone in any FPS. But get me behind an RTS or a sports game and I end up being everyone's *****.

Though I love RTS games, I am usually terrible at them. Dawn of War is my all time favorite, but with a skirmish AI mod I have installed I get annihilated even on standard difficulty.


Gears of War online. Seriously, I'm terrible. I guess the main problem is I'm always paired up with people who know the maps and weapon locations off by heart so I never really get a chance to even learn the map. I honestly prefer playing it with bots anyway.

Battlestations: Pacific. I can't get my head round the control scheme and its confusing as hell, though to be honest I have only tried it out for about a half hour.

Well I am not very good at sport and fighting games but thats maybe because I do not play them so often.
