What's the baddest you've ever been at a video game?

Literally anytime I feel the stakes are high.

I can be amazing at a hard game until I figure out dying sets you back massively and suddenly it's choke city.

At first I thought we just sucked at the game as kids because me and my nephew only made it to the third level ONCE but it turns out this version of the game was so poorly designed that it legitimately was hard as balls.

>>390129725
you wouldn't like eve online or dayz (some of my favorite games)

I love the stress. The tension sets you free.

I keep dying on Reimu/Marisa in Imperishable Night on Normal difficulty. This game is considered the easiest in series, yet I keep dying like retard.
I have 1CC'd Touhou 2, 6, 10, 11 and 12, but can't get past Stage 4 in 8. Shameful.

>>390129875
genesis version is a lot better.

Any platformer ever, but 2d in particular.

Rhythm games bore me to death, so I don't even bother trying when I play them. Pressing butting in the order a game tells you too, cuts half the fun out of a video game.

>>390129786
I don't know what to tell you but Sonic Mania isn't that hard.

I really want to git gud at fighting games but I just can't

Everywhere I see people complain that SFV is too simplified and babymode and I still can't hit silver after 300 hours

>>390130075
Marisa's stars have smaller hitboxes than it looks other than that it's just practice
since you said Reimu/Marisa I'm guessing you keep switching characters which is bad since you're only getting half the practice, just stick to one and practice their spellcards

>>390129786
Roll down slopes and hold the jump button down when you bounce off something. How can you fuck up at classic Sonic with WIDESCREEN?

Playing Soul Caliber 2 for the first time against my friend who owned a copy.
I couldn't land a SINGLE HIT, he was dodging from above and below, using mechanics I didn't even know existed. I just immediately ragequit after one or two matches

>>390130252
>>390130448

I dunno, I haven't ever played a Sonic game to a serious extent.

I'm still learning how to play it well and I'm getting better. I beat it but I didn't get all the Chaos Emeralds so I gotta go through it again.

>>390130427
It's just too hard for me. I don't like randomized curtain fire that showers everything on screen. I start to panic and lose lives.

>>390130735
You can get all the emeralds earliest by Chemical Plant Act 1. The trick to special stages is to prioritize blue spheres first then rings. To know when to pick up the instant mach level ups too.

Mario doesn't have intricate button combinations, he won't suddenly do a magical ball attack if you press forward, forward, light kick, low kick, back, or something

Trying to play Warcraft 3 after five years of not playing any rts games. Feeling flustered 15 seconds in and hitting an blistering 0.5 apm.

I've got a ton of work to do if I ever want to get good at these games again.

Mines aren't seeded until after the first click though.

>>390134135

>>390134930
I think it's just that they panic in a competitive situation.

I couldn't get past Xavier in Sengoku Rance.

Worst feeling was a nomad game of AoE2 where I didn't scout and got scouted and got walled in and had my woodline compromised by towers
My feudal time was still great, it was just a very specific counter to the position I was in. But I've never felt more shit or impotent at a video game.

When I went to Smash tournaments. It was fun for a while, but I never put so much effort into it as some of the guys.

Also the smell

>>390129586
how do you play minesweeper anyhow? is it just chance?

>>390137375
It's mostly reading instructions and filling in blocks with occasional chance based decisions. But you can and should figure out what the odds for each block are.

I'm really giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you're just ignorant rather than just baiting.

The number on a block refers to how many mines it is touching.
So a 1 surrounded by revealed tiles that is only touching one untested block means that one has to be a mine, etc.

>>390137375
the number on a tile denotes the number of mines surrounding that specific tile, say the number is 4 then that means there are four mines that could be on any of the 8 (or less) tiles surrounding it

>>390129586
I've barely ever played fighting games and this one friend would always put smash bros on at his parties, so I'd get completely wrecked because I don't know what's going on and they've played it for like 15 years.

>>390137375
The numbers under the squares tell you how many mines are adjacent to that square. It's all* logic until you've done it enough that it becomes about pattern recognition.

*Ok yeah occasionally you have to guess but it's pretty rare.

Keeping auto-fire on when I teleport crew over in FTL is pretty goddamn embarrassing.

I'm terrible at anything strategy. Turn based, real time, whatever.

I played the Medieval 2 Total War beginner campaign on easy and had to let the computer handle fights because I kept losing. I couldn't get past any of the first missions of Soldiers: Heroes of WW2. I had to use a guide after the first couple of missions of Advance Wars: Dual Strike.

If I play RTS games like C&C or similar, I have to play Skirmish on easy with an AI on my side in order to have a chance.

I think I might have done in the past? Like, trying to mirror an opponent's moves.

Generally I think it's a problem with thinking ahead, I have real difficulty doing that. I tend to react to stuff more than be proactive.

It's a problem in fighting games and stuff like air combat games as well; you're generally expected to try and think of what your opponent will do next so you can counter it, but I can't do that. I have difficulty with boardgames, chess, etc as well for that reason.

I'm very unobservant.

Mark Twain answered your question long before you were born:
>"There are some things that can beat smartness and foresight? Awkwardness and stupidity can. The best swordsman in the world doesn't need to fear the second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesn't do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn't prepared for him; he does the thing he ought not to do; and often it catches the expert out and ends him on the spot"

First time I played pic related. I'd never played a Souls game before, so that didn't help. I ran out the clinic and got mauled by the werewolf, picked my weapons up in the dream, came back and it took me four tries to kill the fucker. Then I ran outside and made it to the first alley leading to the bonfire with all the patrols walking around, and couldn't make it past. Ragequit soon after, and didn't pick it up again until a few weeks ago. I've gotten pretty gud since then, and now it's one of my favorite games of all time.

>>390129586
When I played the first Dark Souls, I didn't know you could lock-on. It was also my first Souls game and I hadn't seen gameplay or guides, so it was already hard enough. I got up to the gargoyles but couldn't beat them. Got invited to a guy's place to play so he could help me with them, then he asked "why aren't you locking-on to anything?" and just like that, it was as if I had discovered easy mode.

>>390129586

When i first bought Bloodborne i was so thoroughly convinced that It was similar to Dark Souls that I played it exactly like Dark Souls. For 30-40 hours. Every single boss in the game punished me relentlessly for keeping my distance or playing it safe.

Then I made it to Gehrman and I literally couldn't get past the explosion he does in mid-air, again because i kept my distance and didnt get the fucking hint. I actually rage quit without finishing it.

After a year I started the game back up again and played more aggressively and steamrolled through the game like it was nothing. It's now my favorite platinum trophy.

The one that sticks in my mind was the Sephiroth fight in KH2, I just couldn't fucking do it. Left the game completely alone for half a year, came back and for a laugh tried it, did it no fucking problem.

It's my default approach when solo in MonHun too, if I fail, I wait a week and come back.

I had severe brain damage playing FFIX and had a similar problem.

I just didn't fucking understand that you could "learn" abilities, and kept switching weapons/armour before I fully learned the skills.

It made the game fucking insanely hard, I mean I did it, but I went back a few years later and realized I was a fucking moron.

General sentiment is this happened a lot more with FF8's Junction system, but that one I had no problem with. So I don't fucking know.


My general tip to you is to wander around getting AS MANY PERSONAS as you can, and then fusing them together, you might find one that is strong to physical damage.

I really like Sins of a Solar Empire but I'm awful at it and have no idea how to coordinate my fleet once they actually enter combat. Everything turns to a ball of ships and lasers and my response is to just keep throwing reinforcements into the meat grinder until I win or lose. Naturally, I play as the TEC.

I'm decent at turn-based combat with like 6-12 characters, though, because it's impossible not to miss stuff.

First run on DaS1 a lot of bosses took me the whole noon to kill.
I dropped from 8X lives to 5 in the especial route in bing bing wahoo 3d, still have to clear two worlds.
I suck hard balls in pretty much every fighting game save Smash where im failry decent, injustice and MK9 with their single player modes and action-action-move style of combos were a god send.

>>390136529
to be fair Xavier is some goddamn bullshit and the way you fight him isn't told to you by the game at all.

>>390158143
I also tried playing Dark Souls on PC. Thought the controls were shit, couldn't get my gamepad to work right with the game so I used kb+m, then couldn't get past the skeletons in the graveyard (the first real enemies) after trying for three hours, then promptly rage-quit and never tried again.

I feel guilty because Souls looks really fun and I enjoyed the combat, I could just do without the enemy HP/damage bloat.

Nope. Couldn't get past 'em and I'm sure they were easy as piss compared to everything else. Haven't played in years though.

You're not meant to go to the graveyard right after the tutorial, there's a couple other paths from Firelink you can take

>>390159085
Wait, fucking really? Like where? I haven't played in a while but I could either go into that ruined building or go down hill towards the graveyard and in either direction my shit got pushed down my throat by skellingtons.

>>390159158

If you are sitting at the bonfire at firelink shrine (facing the npc right there), go to the right. That way has much easier enemies and is the preferred route for a new game/player. Don't forget to ran behind the black knight you find in the new area you'll be in to get a ring that helps you take damage reduction from hits when at low health. HUGE fucking help to new players

>>390129586
Not gonna say "ever" but I did some dumb shit recently.
I was playing a virtual version of Red and Ted's Roadshow (pinball) recently and managed to score 180 points before draining a ball. My pity bonus was 50,000 for context. Getting a million points in that game is trivial, high scores are well over a billion.
Also managed to die to Temjin in Virtual On while playing against the AI. That's like dying to Link in Smash Bros. 64.

Probably Chivalry? I even sucked at TF2 so I had no fucking chance there.

>>390129586
Smash brothers. The game is just way too fast for me, I struggled even with basic inputs in the 3DS demo. And this is supposed to be a fighter version of Mario Kart...

>>390159949
>Chivalry

I was really enjoying Chivalry (and even doing halfway decently) until I got out of the noobie servers and got bitch-slapped with spin2win. It was pretty clear I was a little fish in a big pond full of players who had loads of experience exploiting the meta of dragging/spinning/reverse overhead pokes and didn't think it'd be fun to learn, so I didn't try.

I'm really looking forward to Mordhau, though. The combat seems way less exploitable. Supported the kickstarter, got beta access, hopefully I'll be able to keep up this time.

>>390159774
Well of course he can, unless you mean skillwise. But I brought it up because this guy >>390159441

When I started playing Xbox360 cod and with a controller for the first time in my life in VS against the tryhard friend that doesn't know what mercy is or how to hold back FOR MORE THAN A WEEK EVERYDAY while we were on vacation.
I used to have a lot of patience back then.

I had a problem with 1 where I couldn't figure out the grow/shrink mechanic in Wonderland

Anything RTS. I can't focus on two things at once. I can't macro and micro. I can only hoard and die.
I almost lost to a protoss in SC2 after release some time when all he had was one base, and I had rest of the map. Just was simply unable to fathom basic concept of the game and make any proper units. Fucking bullshit.

Also notoriously bad at pixelated games. Especially platformers. I can't understand the character, movement and doing anything but spamming attack. With a mouse I am doing much better, or without shooting. But use left hand to move, right hand to shoot or attack? Forget it.

RPG's, just lacks the patience and want to have it all

The lion king, but that shit was unfair on purpose (theres a yt of one of the developers admitting this)

super ghosts and ghouls used to kick my shit in when I was a child. I ended up hating the game because i felt it was unfair, but later picking it up and having some good fun

Oh and for some reason I was terrible at NES mario for years until I got gud at super meat boy and came back again for another shot, was ez-pz
