People often brag about how good they are here. But let's be honest. A good chuck of us Yas Forumsirgins suck at the vidya.

I never play ranked matches in any game no matter how good I am. I never play on the hardest difficulty.
>>Spent hours uppon hours practicing combo's in fighting games only to get my ass handed to me by button mashers
Can relate to that, still coulnd't finish most trials
Hovewer i can't even imagine not being able to beat warcraft campaing without cheating you can turtle almost every level.
I've never won a game of Age of Empires 2

i never did. i could now, but i generally suck at vidya because it's either git gud at vidya or git gud at my job. so all my hotkeys and meta strats are work-focused. not getting any younger so my reflexes have gone to complete shit.
I died to pinwheel
But only because I made the same mistake I did with the moonlight butterfly of getting cocky because I knew the spell I just cast would finish it off and dying before the spell hit
I am currently in the process of getting filtered in doom eternal, doing the arc complex on ultra violence but keep dying to the bit where you fall down the hole in the floor to the bottom of the building after trying to use the elevator

Its mainly about experiencing all the cool adventures this medium has to offer than any competition at this point.
Pic related my 230th game.
>I died to pinwheel
That's nothing. I died to the fuckng covetous demon. Honestly my most shameful defeat in any game.
i can't defeat the sniper chick from furi
You think that's bad, I never even started dark souls 2 because I couldn't beat gwyn
>tfw never 1cc'd a touhou game

People say Soulsborne is hard, but Ninja Gaiden and the original Devil May Cry game raped me. It's kind of like Souls... only to do anything you have to master complicated inputs for an entire moveset like it's a fighting game.
I still can't parry in any Dark Souls game
My first time involved crippling the framerate to make dodging shots easier.
>>can't even beat AOE 2 Normal AI
That just means you don't know about build orders and shit like that.
You can beat the AI just by using Scout Rush and add maybe a few skirms.
Hell that even works against Hard
I don’t bother going for 100% unless its a game I really, REALLY like.
Most of the time its just tedious busywork to unlock every little thing.
w-whats that bulge?
Here's my deal with FPS games. They aren't any fun on multiplayer. The only way to win is to jump around in circles like a faggot. It takes the immersion out of the game. Why make a cool game with interesting aesthetics if you're just going to pogo everywhere doing loopty loops to avoid getting shot. That's one thing Halo got right, you had to moon jump, so jumping actually made you a slow moving target.
The other thing is experienced players know where all the spawn points are, so people just spawn camp. When I play COD, I spawn in, take 4 in game steps and instantly die. Single player mode for fps games is great though.
Otherwise I'm dope at most kinds of games. Rhythm games are easy for me even on hard difficulties. Platform games take little effort as long as you have some patience. I'm also good at Soul Calibur/Street Fighter. I'm even good at puzzle games and excel at Tetris.
I'm really bad at playing new games and I tend to just play the same shit over and over again.

>>never 100%'d any games
what does this mean? you dont really think that you should do all of the fetch garbage and unimportant collecting crap? the moment you finished the story with side missions, that game is 100% complete and you should move on. Only mentally retard will actually go for padding garbage put in modern >open world games
Most definitely. I just like turtling and send my men to their fiery death in this genre.
I'm always surprised at people online who claimed to be busy with real life stuff but can 100%'d games in like a week or two. I don't know if I actually like the games I really like that much or normalfags are actually better at vidya than me
AoE2 AI cheats like hell, the only way to win against multiple AIs is to bunker the fuck down behind several layers of walls to hold back the endless konga line of enemies like its a damn tower defense until you construct a kill ball that can break through
I could beat any of the colors in a fight
its a good one. Played it a few years ago. Same as you i play games only for the adventure,story and atmosphere part but i dont go around and advertise myself as a gamer thats literally like going around and saying that you are a faggot.
I am painfully average at every multiplayer game
I play games on easy difficulty or use cheats everytime whenever I can.
>I just like turtling and send my men to their fiery death in this genre.
Turtling is fine but then you really need to know more about the game and your endgame strategy and also how to expand and increase your economy
i like playing fighting games but i only ever made it silver in SFV
Is it still fun for you?
I never really understood the point of playing through a game with godmode on the whole way through. Might as well just watch a movie.
this is my secret shame too
I CAN do it with some reliability but my success rate is just too low, it's not worth it
Gwyn was kind of hard though. At least if you didn't know how to parry.
Covetous demon is so easy that you could put him as the first boss in any game and nobody would complain he was to hard.
My worst offence is playing god hand on easy, and it still was too hard so I had to use save states
When most of your time is spent on assignments or work I just want something that's quick and easy to enjoy and I tend to play singleplayer games since I'm in a third world shithole anyways. Only due to the lockdown thanks to the virus that I do feel like having some challenges from my games.
I used savestates to get past the hallway before Death in the original Castlevania
My problem is that I'm just too reckless when I play games. I have a bad habit of fucking around and taking too much damage, only realizing that I should take things more seriously when I'm at 1 HP. I barely ever defeat a boss without at least dying a couple times to figure out his pattern, and in multiplayer games I always end up with a shit KDR from constantly trying and failing to charge the enemy directly.
I guess it's because I'm a careful and cowardly person in real life that I enjoy being so reckless in games.
>circle strafing
it's only important in arena shooters, and (unlike singleplayer), you can't actually go in circles without being too predictable and dying.
>aren't any fun on multiplayer
yeah I agree here. Most mulitplayer shooters boil down to doing the same thing over and over, and players with more playtime know the spawns and autowin.
IMO this isn't a huge issue in Insurgency Sandstorm. If you LARP and take a lot of time you autowin. Unfortunately if you play it at a fast pace, the game basically becomes RNG for who wins each fight and it returns to the CoD/Battlefield gameplay of doing the same thing over and over to chase a dopamine high.
>Singleplayer mode [...] is great
A shooter with good AI that you can out-learn and game to be able to play perfectly without taking any damage is the toppest-tier of video games IMO. Unfortunately not shooters do this. HL2 and Wolfenstein: TNO are some bad offenders where you need to tank a certain amount of damage before you kill an enemy with most guns. Wolfenstein 2: TNC actually kind of fixes this by having weapons that aren't all AIDs.
But why would you want to?
I admit it, I'm shit at RTS games. I just can't into control groups.
Well I got past that part but now I am getting my ass kicked by the marauder
And i forgot to pick up the codex entry in that part
My problem is I tend to be a "purist" and thus put artificial challenges on myself.
For example, in all the soulsborne games, my first playthrough has been completely blind, using only medium armour, 2handed sword, no magic, no ranged etc. And I don't even use buffing items. Although that is more because I need to "save them" for when I really need them. Which is usually never.
I bet many peole put restrictions like that on themselves. But I am so bad that most of thse restrictions are not needed.
I can't fucking do it. I just CAN'T FUCKING PLAY twitch FPS games. I put thousands of hours into Team Fortress 2 and MNC/Super Monday Night Combat and got to an at least passable level of skill. I cannot for the life of me play shit like call of duty or battlefield or CS and so on without eating shit constantly and never getting good. The lower the time to kill is, the more dogshit I get at FPS games.
I hate it because all the shooters I liked are dead and any newer releases flopped or got changed too much (Battleborne Yes, I liked that game and Paladins).
Somehow I wasn't good at overwatch though but I'm going to blame it on the game having actually low if you're not playing a snoozefest tank.
>beating them when you can hypnotize them instead
Yes, you know exactly where this is going.
Weird, I find CoD and BF much easier than CS
Dear gods I miss the colors so much.
Too many to mention most notable to me is I've played over 200 hours of left 4 dead 2 and i still get lost in every level
I've also emptied and entire uzi clip at one (1) zombie running at me and missed every bullet
I miss being able go crossdress convincingly and teasing panties like that
I fucking suck at platforming. The platforming sections in Devil May Cry 3 almost filtered me out of the game.
Any game that needs fast reaction times to find a target is what I have trouble with it. In CS it's snapping to the skull, in cod and bf it's even getting your gun on the fucker as they zoom around sprinting everywhere.
I unironically get jumpscared when playing those games is someone suddenly starts shooting at me from an unexpected location.
I dropped Doom Eternal to "Hurt Me Plenty" on the second mission...
>generally average at fps with occasional streaks of genius.
>play all my games on normal difficulty
>play without perma death in Fire Emblem because I like to try risky maneuvers.
imagine the smell of her pants haha
Personally my issue is actually SEEING the enemy. Everything from a moderate, to far distance look like regular pixels to me.
>got filtered by Griffon and stopped DMC1
>Almost got filtered by Xaldin and took multiple days to beat him in KH2 on normal difficulty
>Never got to the first boss in Bloodborne
>Worse than all my friends in multiplayer games
>Don't play online team games with ransoms because I feel like a burden on the team
>Only game I ever felt confidently decent at is online Pokemon and that went to shit
I beat around the bush with why I prefer single player games to multiplayer games but the real reason I don't like them is that no matter what I do everybody I meet is just naturally better than me in every way. Learning the ins and outs of a game starts to lose its spark after I keep getting my shit kicked in. this applies to things I do in real life too. Looking back on how much I fuck things up I genuinely think I'm some form of retarded
I also play vidya on normal when I go in blind but I honestly don't think that's much of a sin.
Okay, gotcha.
For me CoD just seemed more forgiving than CS, as CS needs more precise shooting where as in CoD you can just burst opponents down

That's actually a great way to start a Souls game, aside from the "no ranged" bit because bows are a useful utility in some instances and crossbows can be a lifesaver in PvP, especially against casters. I remember my first blind run of Demon's Souls back in the day. I had bought the game because I heard it had relatively realistic combat, so I brought a Winged Spear, Longsword and a shield and it worked really well.
