I wonder that myself when I watch casuals and long time gamers try to play Super Mario.

Its weird to watch

it takes a certain level of brain skill and physical skill

Low IQ

I actually don't understand it. Being somewhat adept at video games requires little more than spatial awareness and a bit of motor skills. It's not a hard hobby.

When did this happen? I don't remember seeing this in Samus Returns.

After seeing just how shitty mainstream "journalists" and certain e-celebs fuck you arin you suck and you need to admit that are at the games they review I think they simply do not have that certain kind of displacement you need to really get into the game and be able to play it without hitches. It's as if they lack the ability to project themselves into a virtual space, to the point that they're completely blind if they can't see everything on-screen at once.

Inability/unwillingness to learn and analyze.
Some people just don't have to capacity to teach themselves anything. They usually also have a misconception that time=skill.

That's Other M my dude.

Best part of that game:

Ah Other M, that would explain it. I never played that one.

For the same reason most people are so bad when they first pick up an instrument or start playing a new sport. They're just too unfamiliar with it, most people improve after time but that doesn't mean they'll be good at it.

Oh wait. Were you going for a whole 'I'm good at vidya therefore I'm a better person' thing?

Yes, but try to give a videogame to someone who has never played onebefore and you will get the laugh/cribge of a lifetime

I've always been shit at platformers
there's my excuse

Non familiarity, they didn't grow up with it, stuff like 3D worlds, the movement and camera, can in particular be confusing to people, think about your gaming life and realize you grew up alongside with gaming and were constantly playing as games evolved.

The better question is why is important to be good at games?

mental problems mixed with not giving enough effort

I really suck and i used to play like 2h a day every day. Even back at that time i sucked
No idea why, and its amazing how this holds truth for every sort of game, from fps to fighter games.

these were thoughtful answers, thanks everybody

It also requires the ability to, at least to a moderate extent, think for yourself instead of waiting to be told what to do. Think back to that video of the game journalist getting stuck on the Cuphead tutorial.

The current generation lacks the capacity for creative problem-solving and critical thinking skills. They are well educated, but said education amounts to little more than a collection of memorized trivia facts. A high school grad of the modern era can tell you the molecular makeup of your toothpaste, the date of every notable historical event, and the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow, but the moment he's confronted with a problem that requires even the slightest bit of creative thinking, he gets stuck for hours.

I don't know why, but for some reason our schools are pumping out grads who know just about everything *except* how to think for themselves.

Lucky you.

I'm pretty bad at video games.
When I play with my friends I don't think I ever once won a game of smash except when I run and hide and let everyone else fight each other and I'm always have the least points in TF2 and Sonic Racing transformed.

Ask me anything

This. The amount of "theyre brain is to small too handle a controller like me" posts are astounding.
Fuckers who are bad at it couldn't care less at getting at a worthless boring skill.
True video games are the faggiest thing ever to the majority of the world and not fun to people who suck. If you try to get someone new to play with you, your sperging turns them off from it more.

>Now if OP's question was asking why are so many game journalists bad, then that's a whole different discussion.

git gud then if you cant enjoy the game
