Games you enjoy but you suck at.

@ Mrsaturn: No, it's actually the damn Sanctuary Keeper.

Counter-Strike. Love the game, but it seems like I end most multiplayer matches without a single kill XD

Any game in the Descent series. Fun as hell, but the controls are a bitch to deal with. Can't even get through the first level of Descent 3.

Any fighting game I've ever played and enjoyed. Also any strategy game I've ever played and enjoyed, unless one counts Pikmin 2 as a strategy game, because I actually completed that 100%. But one that doesn't quite fit under "genre at which I'm bad" is the F-Zero series. GX is pretty much universally considered hard as nails, but I can't even clear the first cup in F-Zero: Maximum Velocity.

Oh, and Planet Puzzle League, although I'm not really bad at that so much as not at the level of getting x22 chains at the start of every freaking match, unlike what seems to be almost everyone else who likes that series.

Almost forgot R-Type, though that one probably falls under the same category as F-Zero GX.

I like The World Ends With You, but even with maxed out pins, I find it hard for me to control both of them at once.

Dark Souls. League of Legends.

Real Life.

I love fighting games, I can do combos and all, but it all goes for nothing as I usually choke under pressure and start throwing random inputs.

The rare few spaceship shoot-em-up I liked. I never managed to complete Thunder Force IV at any higher level than Normal, for example.

Chess.

Total War. Can't do a thing without studying a big how-to-not-suck guide.

Fighting games in general. I love playing the game with my friends, but I can never play online because I have neither the skill nor the desire to pull off the insane combos. Notable of the list is Marvel Vs Capcom 3; I can handle myself fairly well offline, but put me online and the lack of skill combined with the lag kills me.

I also tend to not do so great in first-person shooters, even though I'm addicted to Call Of Duty. My reflexes and hand-eye coordination were never great enough to handle online, but even with my reflexes at tip-top I could just never rack up huge amounts of kills. I dunno, I just always find myself in the barren areas of the map where nobody else is, and whenever I find someone they always tend to be just faster.

My advice: Look up or make up a bread and butter combo or two. Something that you can always go back to, moves you can do consistently with good synergy being the best kind of course. Does it make you a little predictable? Yes, but that's just something you'll need to figure out how to overcome.

I am the worst advice guy.

I've found that choosing a server with a good connection speed actually helped a lot in Battlefield 3. My Recon kit's kill count actually got respectable for once since I no longer had to worry about the game "compensating" (read: favoring the guy with the better connection speed) to figure out who shot first or more accurately.

Althougt I am not exactly a fan of it, I do like to play some Puyo Puyo matchs every now and then and... Well...

Lets just say I have a hard time getting more than 3 chains... yeah, I suck and BADLY. Even more so now that I recently whatched some videos of veterans doing 10+ chains with ease, LMAO, this is the 1 game in biggest learning curve that I have ever seen. It even suprasses most real time strategy games IMO. But Its an ok game to play everynow and then so I figured out it enters in this category.

Hyper Princess Pitch: Very funny game with fast-paced action, but practically walk into bullets, can't switch weapons when appropriate and use poor tactics overall.

Jagged Alliance 2...X-COM...Civ 4&5...Gran Turismo...

...and as of ten minutes prior to the time of this post edit...Dwarf Fortress...good God that game has a helluva wiki.
