Fantasysci5: I wanted everyone to like me so refused to declare war on anyone

zeogold: Aha! I KNEW you weren't really an American!
*declares war on Fantasysci5*
Please don't declare war on me, I'm Switzerland. *hands out cookies to everyone*

And so it's not completely off-topic, I also have lots of problems with anything needing coordination or timing. For platformers, I keep falling off narrow ledges.

tinyE: ON that note, "physical" isn't usually the first word that comes to mind when thinking of card games. :P

We absolutely must play "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" sometime.

You think you know him, but you haven't got a clue.

...not all at once, I hope.

Also, just in case anybody didn't get the reference I was making:

Has someone lived the experience of playing FPS with friends for more than 4 years and never get gud? I am tired of playing COD:WAW with never progressing on somethings besides my fear tactics to get a chance to win, in either Battlefield, TF2, Insurgency, Counter Strike, I never seem to grow out the similar mechanics they share with different types of playstyle and get good on just one.

I am gonna stay with my fighting games at least in those I can learn faster to the point of actually understanding what I have to do.

It's just like any other game (or practically anything in life, if you look at it). Practice, practice, practice. It's not how long you've been doing it for, it's how many hours you've put into it.
I'm pretty terrible at RTS games. I have avoided them completely for over 10 years now.

I have a bit of opposite problem in Team Fortress 2. I quite often seem to end up at #1 position in the team scores, sometimes with quite a wide margin (like me having something like over 50 points, the next team member having 20, rest having less than 10...).

The heck I know why that is. It seems it is enough that I simply start playing as a soldier and killing any enemies I see, while rest of the team plays just snipers, spies and scouts and rack up points much slower, not caring for the objectives either.

It never ceases to amaze me why so many TF2 players seem to be against the idea of playing as a soldier, and instead cling to those bullshit specialized classes like sniper/spy/scout. To me it is always clear that the team who has more soldiers, wins the game. But people just don't care, they just want to have "fun" by running around aimlessly and getting cheap backstabs once in awhile as a spy.

Why does 90% of the TF2 players play intentionally so shittily?

BadDecissions: If we're going physical games, my attempt to learn to play bridge was not crowned with any great success. I sort of knew how to bet by the time I decided it wasn't going to work out.
Quoting a fortune cookie from Shadow Warrior:
"Sex is like playing Bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you better have a great hand."
I suck at adventures, but mainly because I am too impatient when I'm playing them alone. Also, EVERY racing game (or almost every game where you have to drive something) except maybe Star Wars: Racer, but that may have to do with the fact that I hate to control a vehicle with the keyboard and I never bothered enough to buy a steering wheel (I did buy a joystick for Freespace, though, great decision!).

Also, basically everything on a console because I never learned to play with a controller.

edit: I am also not very good at turn-based strategy, although I would like to be.

Tough question. I can only answer it approximately because at the top of my head I can't remember any game that I sucked at - and still thought it was good. :D

But I'm generally not good at building sims and strategy games, no matter how good they are, because I just lack the patience to study their complicated rules in detail and then invest countless hours in building something only to have it destroyed and start over. I'm mostly interested in story and exploration and there are so many other games that give me more of those in shorter time and with less looking at tables and figures. Or real world jobs about looking at tables and figures that would actually reimburse me for all the trouble. ;)

And I don't really get One-on-One fighting games. I can play those where mashing buttons creates unexpected cool combos, but I can't win against anyone who knows their stuff, in a game where skills matter.

Also, maybe, Dark Souls. People keep telling me how good it is once you understand how it works, and how interesting the setting is etc., and I want to believe them, but personally I only see all the repetition from being set back to earlier checkpoints after dying in boss battles and having to run through the same corridors and to watch the same cutscenes over and over again. Not for me.

And Blackguards. I want to play it and enjoy it, but the odds seem so unfairly stacked against the player, most of the times spells misfire despite good hit chances, and I don't understand whether it's a flaw of the game or my lack of knowledge about how the game actually works.

Easy question. ;) I'm absolutely hopeless at those online first person shooter games. It probably doesn't help that I find those games pretty dull to begin with, so I never tried to become good at them, but the few times others made me play them, my performance was questionable to say the least.
Oh, since you have been specifically asking about games that we wanted to like, I guess there are some platformers which were just too damn hard. Like Dustforce DX. I like the style and all, but the controls are so messed up, I just can't play it.

I'm staying on topic...

Although that doesn't stop you or Breja from throwing out random facts, and taking up 5 pages worth of lines from 'who's on first' and knock knock jokes.
