Like, there are some videogames and stuff that, like, are plenty of fun but sometimes you are totally bad at them, and like, keep failin' and junk, but you totally keep playing them because they are SOOOOOOO fun. So, like, what games are those for you?

A lot of games, honestly.

I am good at Monster Hunter Tri, though.

Metal Gear Solid. The game gives me a whole lot of items and many different uses and I just can't put myself together to try it without fearing detection. And that not mentioning CQC.

No regret shall pass over the threshold!

I'm pretty bad at Metal Gear Solid. The stealth can be tricky.

The World Ends With You and Final Fantasy XIII.

The World Ends With You... ugghh.. I'm not doing something right. Billions of items but I just keep losing.

And Final Fantast XIII... Lol... I never leveled up my items. Lets just leave it at that.

The Binding of Isaac

Devil May Cry 3 and 4. Though I got better by the end of 4, but still just an OK player.

The beginning of Demon's Souls. I must've tried the very first level at least a hundred times. Once again, got better.

TF 2.

Plenty of 'em. Otogi, Mercenaries (not the Resident Evil one, I'm at least average at that), Mega Man, Grand Theft Auto...

[up][up]Oh god, Dwarf Fortress. I want to play and like that game so much, but it's just so impenetrably hard to learn. It takes time, and I enjoy it, but eventually when you have to follow 20+ beginner's guides, it gets boring.

Robopon. Probably one of the most brutal handheld RP Gs ever, but... The adorable robot designs! And the delightfully customizable software system! I probably wouldn't have such problems if I didn't insist on grinding, like, 12 different Robopon all at once, but... the adorable robot designs!

Also, just about any Nintendo Hard platformer. It's not so much that I suck at them as that I'm just kinda... above average at them, at best. But I love them so.

Ooo, yeah, there's the Devil May Cry games (I've only played 3 and 4), though I've gotten decent at those. IMO, DMC3 in particular is a shining example of how to make a Nintendo Hard game that isn't choked with Fake Difficulty.

Any non-turn-based game. Fighting games, FP Ses, sports games, you name it. My reflexes suck.

I find that turn-based games can eventually be conquered if you stick at it long enough to learn how to play the game effectively and efficiently. Real-time relies on your reflexes, which isn't exactly something that can really be strengthened. At least not to the extent that the mind can learn new strategies or new techniques.

Please note, this is being stated by someone who has no foundation or knowledge of human biology, so I could be entirely and completely wrong. As such, do not take this too seriously, but feel free to debunk it if it is completely and totally bullshit.

Capcom Vs SNK 2, [[Tekken]] and Soul Calibur.

Those are the only fighting games I know of that I really, really suck at. Cv S 2 may change soon since I'm getting it on the PS 2, though.

Mega Man X, Dark Cloud, any FPS, and any Rhythm Game that isn't Rhythm Heaven are also... pretty high on my list of games I know I suck at.

Fighting games in general. Well, except Soul Calibur where I have a solid-ish win score.

Fighting games for me as well. I love all the crazy character designs and the over all aesthetic that comes from the artwork and music.

But man, I can't combo for shit.
