Thread: I think I suck at video games.

  1. #1

    Default I think I suck at video games.

    Not sure if this is in the right forum but... I've only beaten 2 games in my life and I think something is wrong with me.

    You just need more patience. I tend to stop playing games midways too.

    We dont' care about yoru feelings though.

    Meh, if its because ou stopped playingyou don't suck. IF you keep trying your hardest at all you play, then yes, you suck. But who cares so long as you have fun.

    What games did you beat? And more to the point, what kind of games do you play most often? RPGs? First Person Shooters? Platformers? Because if your playing just a certain genra, then it could be that you just aren't good at that particular type of game.

    You don't need to complete games in order to be good; it's all about the way you play them.

    I guess you already knew that, though. XD

    Anyway, just play more games, and eventually you'll rock.
    I know a guy who played Perfect Dark four hours a day just because he liked it, and then he had only one life against a skilled opponent, and he won all the time.

    I used to never beat games. I'd get up to the final boss and put them on the shelf. I'm not even sure why anymore.

    This is gonna sound really,urgh, condescending, and I don't mean it to, but it's common for younger folks to not beat games. I have plenty of cousins 13 and below that never finish anything they get. I never did either when I was 12. When you get older you will probably begin to finish them all.

    I still have to beat Super Mario Bros. Before I played RPGs, I has only beaten Starcraft/WC3 with cheats.

    So what you didn't finish any games? Does it matter? Does the ending of the game give more joy than the actual gameplay? If every game were based on the ending, FFX-2 > Starcraft. This is blasphemy, and you know it.

    I sometimes do the same thing. It is no surprise. I used to do it a lot. It's probably not that you suck, its just you don't play a lot.

    It's pretty much the other way around for me. When I was younger, I played games a lot more than these days. Nowadays, I can't really be bothered to play games, let alone finish them. I beat FFIV in 6 days in 2001, but beating FFIVA took me about 8 months (I beat it in August 2006). On Christmas vacation, though, I was able to play KH2 a lot, and I even finished it.

    The thing is, many games take a while to beat, and it usually takes a while to get the hang of the game, and even longer to become really good at it. Just don't give up, keep trying and try to have fun. Playing games when you're really frustrated at them doesn't usually help. Practice also helps you become better at games.
