Genre of Games you're bad at, and the Genre you just plain dislike.

[john!]

That's because those two genres are the most popular right now and everyone is trying to be "original" by disliking them.

yeah, no. i've hated fps games forever.

 

[o-Serin-o]

[john!]

man, i hated them before hating them was cool.

Sports games aren't really popular...

FPS yeah. But A lot of people hate FPSs because there are too many of them and the genre is kinda taking over the vidya industry right now. Not because they hate FPSs as games.

 

[Jam Stunna]

I think I really hate RPGs. There have been a few that I've really enjoyed (FINAL FANTASY VI, Pokemon), but I've started probably dozens of RPGs that I never finished because I couldn't put up with the various narrative and gameplay contrivances any longer.

And even some of the ones that I like fall short in major ways. I was playing Valkyria Chronicles last night, and while the gameplay is fantastic, the story is so warmed over.

 

[Flutter NiTE]

I think that sums up somebody here.....


And as far as Fifa02, my brother played that a lot, and it seemed like the best one to date. The best HOCKEY game though, had to be

Hockey players being lit on fire, Custom heads, (such as horse, clown, alien). The one sports game besides Mario games I got into, solely because, it was unrealistic.

Oh God yes Hitz was so good.

2003 was my favourite, my friends and I made ourselves with funny heads etc. We played franchise mode so much it was great.

 

[Lore]

Yes, Hitz was fantastic. One of the few non-mario sports games that I've enjoyed.

I also would like to mention that I don't really like CoD or Halo. They're fun with friends, but the slow speed (Halo), bad maps (imo, halo), and huge amounts of camping (brawl CoD) keep me from getting too into them.

I also can't stand all the new, generic fps's too, but that's a different story. Bulletstorm is pretty great, though.

I also still play Quake 3 to this day, and I'm just now getting into Quake Live for the first time since Beta.

 

[ook]

I'm bad at fighting games (Brawl don't count). I'm a chronic button masher


I don't like RPGs. It's nearly impossible to be bad at RPGs (unless you're illiterate and can't read where to go next). You don't get better at the game as you play it, your character does....
In a couple of the RPGs that I've played (tales of symphonia, kingdom hearts), I literally turned off the TV during battles, set the controller down, and pressed the A button repeatedly with one finger. When I turned the TV back on, I won. Any game where you can do that is just not a "game" to me.
I never even finished KotoR cause I got bored with it, and I'm a huge star wars geek.
Every once in a while I give RPGs a chance, and they fail me every time. Except paper mario was kinda fun.

 

[Lore]

Actually, ToS gets harder as it goes on, especially on harder difficulties.

The abyssion battle took me like, an hour to beat.

 

[ook]

Well I'll give it a second chance, but the last time I played it I was in the sewers where there's a block-pushing "puzzle" where you have to push a block down a long catwalk until you get to the end. Then you have to do it all over again, because a spider web popped up out of nowhere so you can push another block even further. Then you have to do it AGAIN, because another spider web appeared for some reason. Then I think you have to do it a 4th time but I don't remember.
After I finally finished pushing the blocks, my wii overheated and it didn't save. So I was like "**** that, I'm never playing this game again"

 

[Fuelbi]

I suck at sports and fighting games and I plain hate ANY kind of RPG that's not Pokemon. I swear to God I hate even Zelda, and that's Adventure/RPG. God I don't know why but the fact that you get an inventory just pisses me off and the actual style of the story and leveling up system. The only exception to the inventory thing is Minecraft which I've gotten addicted to lately, but that's it.

 

[finalark]

I don't like RPGs. It's nearly impossible to be bad at RPGs (unless you're illiterate and can't read where to go next).

Unless you're playing one of those old RPGs that try to be "difficult" by hiding information from you like where you're supposed to go next or what you're supposed to be doing.

I'm one of those freaks who actually likes RPG game play (usually, I generally prefer WRPGs to JRPGs) and expects the stories to suck. Especially if the RPG in question is anime-inspired.

Except for ToS, it's such a bland and generic JRPG that gets a stupid amount of undeserved love IMO.

 

[#HBC | Dark Horse]

I'm pretty sure anyone here could beat me at madden.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

In my opinion, 100%ing a rpg is what makes it hard, but meh.

I second this. Pretty much anyone with enough time on their hands can easily blaze through most RPGs. The reach challenge is trying to get everything.

Aha. Ahahaha. Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaa~

I dislike RPG's because 99% of the people working on them have no idea what the **** they're really doing, but people still ****ing buy that ****. I still remember that one guy calling Tales of Symphonia 'deep'. ****ing Japan, ****ing with weaboos and ****.

Western rpg's are in there because they're not only uglier than most big name jrpg's, but usually even less thought goes into them. Dragon Age, why did that get a sequel.

I mean seriously, why.

 

[Jam Stunna]

Tales of Symphonia is probably the perfect example of what's wrong with JRPGs. Good (maybe even great) gameplay, literally incomprehensible story. Valkyria Chronicles is another; great gameplay, but the story is so riddled with anime cliches that most people could guess what was going to happen after the first chapter.

I'm really starting to think that it's impossible for an RPG to deliver a compelling (or even coherent) narrative.

I'm really starting to think that it's impossible for an RPG to deliver a compelling (or even coherent) narrative.

I personally think that Tales of Symphonia had some of the worse RPG game play out there. The combat required no thought or strategy (hold forward, mash A, and occasionally pause to heal, wins every battle in the game), it had every blandly designed dungeon pulled from every SNES RPG ever, zero character customization and on top of that gave you no hints on what the hell you're supposed to be doing next half the time. Lets not forget that the game needlessly padded itself out by forcing you to do **** that should be limited to side quests.

And whenever I see an RPG with anime characters on the box I always expect the story to be little more than a pile of anime vomit. I really wish that JRPG writers would stop looking to anime for inspiration, given that 99% of animes continuously reuse the same four plots and the same six characters over and over again. Its really boring when you know exactly whats going to happen and how the characters will react to it.

I wonder if anyone actually ever legitmately beat all of these challenges o.0

And whenever I see an RPG with anime characters on the box I always expect the story to be little more than a pile of anime vomit. I really wish that JRPG writers would stop looking to anime for inspiration, given that 99% of animes continuously reuse the same four plots and the same six characters over and over again. Its really boring when you know exactly whats going to happen and how the characters will react to it.

Have you tried Persona 3 or Disgaea: Hour of Darkness?

Have you tried Persona 3 or Disgaea: Hour of Darkness?

I've actually wanted to give the Persona games a shot for a while now, but haven't really found the time to hunt one down then play through it.

The Disgaea games just don't appeal to me.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Well, get it online. I bet you will likely never find it if you try to look at local game stores.

I tried Disgaea. I enjoyed the humor it has and the game play seems interesting. But the amount of time you could put into it is enormous.

 

[Lore]

Well, get it online. I bet you will likely never find it if you try to look at local game stores.

Mine has two copies, actually. I'm also playing through it now, lol.

 

[finalark]

Well, get it online. I bet you will likely never find it if you try to look at local game stores.

You've never been to a Tucson game store.

 

[gantrain05]

you people are playing the wrong rpgs lol. tales....what a joke.

i guess i'm terrible at games like dr. mario/tetris, it just bores me to death and i have no desire to become good at them. I find that FPS generally bore me to death, but i think that has more to do with the fact that the developers just suck at making the games different from the last release. i don't want to run through a level shoot up a bunch of guys, maybe have an objective that is like...find a data disc, oh its on a table glowing gold. Now that that's done finish level, repeat about 20 times.

i guess im more of an old school 2-d platformer guy. megaman/ghosts&goblins/mario kind of stuff.

 

[FIREL]

MOST games in 3D where you're in first person, makes me dizzy sometimes.

 

[Gatlin]

I am terrible at most games, haha, including Smash. The point is to have fun, if I at least have fun while playing them, nothing else matters for me. However, I am better than most at Mario Kart

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

I used to be really awful at FPS games. Especially Halo. OH WAS I AWFUL AT HALO
Getting better...but still....

I can't play SF. At all. I wanna do BB-esque combos...but I can't do anything because its so differentttt. Probably because the 3Dness

and I dislike sports games. Minus Backyard Sports. They bore me.

 

[Falconv1.0]

You know, honestly, I think half of what decides how bad you are at fps games is how early you joined that party, I mean I'm no pro but I'm fairly comfortable with shooters since I was at my friend's house like every other day playing the **** out of Halo 1. For everyone else, uh, practice or die.

 

[Browny]

^

Using the wrong/old devices also makes a big difference. trying to get pro at RTS using a laptop + mini mouse is sure to make life hard, same with FPS and not having a big screen + high DPI mouse, it doesnt make you bad as much as it just severely limits your capability to the point everyone is better than you because they can actually see enemies and put the reticule on the in an instant.

cant really same the same about consoles though...

 

[Juushichi]

I find FPS's to be rather boring and I guess that's as close to a dislike as I can get.

I'm equally bad at rhythm games and RPG's. Not really at the base level since they're straightforward. But after you hit that point I'm bad because I refuse to put the time and effort into those games as needed.

In any RPG, my characters are always around the lowest level possible to beat challenges, but at the same time, I guess I like being an underdog.

I love sports titles because I love sports and am good at them. They do get boring though.

 

[REL38]

Aside from the casual demo, I almost never play sports games

The realism aspect bores me

But I've always had a liking for snowboard/skating games

 

[Derpington]

I'm not really "bad" at any sort of game genre but I heavily dislike Sports games because I don't see the point of playing a game when you can literally do it in real life, I also have an intense disdain for fps.

 

[global-wolf]

Halo, Mario Kart battle mode and some other games give me motion sickness ._. It's kinda sad because if I didn't feel dizzy when playing them I'd probably enjoy them a lot.

I'm terrible at all fighting games. Including smash ;(

 

[Jimmyfosho]

I'm horrible at all "traditional fighting games" and I hate all sport games though I'm not horrible at them.

 

[finalark]

Rhythm games, I tend to suck at those mostly because of a lack of dexterity. Can't play above medium in Guitar Hero/Rock Band (then again, who even plays those games anymore?), I get my *** kicked a DDR, I just suck at rhythm games.

EDIT: And Quake. I'm pretty good at most other FPS' but I couldn't win a game of Quake to save my life.

 

[Deleted member]

I used to be awful at any FPS, but 37 days play time on Modern Warfare 2 changed everything.

I never could play any kind of rhythm game besides Tap Tap Revenge on my iPod.

I also really hate puzzle games, but I'm fairly competent at them.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

I almost got Mortal Kombat, but I've just given up on non-SSB fighters. I can't hack it.

On another note, the 100 win streak of Battle Tower in Plat/HG/SS is a very hard jrpg challenge.

 

[Flutter NiTE]

I would have to say though, I have been quite fond of games such as Age Of Empires lately... fun stuff.
