Hi. My name is user, and I'm bad at video games.

I'm currently playing Overwatch and Darkwood. I suck really bad at both of them. I'm hovering around 1000 SR in OW and in Darkwood I haven't been able to make it past the Silent Forest in over 10 hours of play. But gosh, I just can't help trying my best.

>tfw when every time you enter the OW competitive lobby, it gives you the "long wait for a fair match" warning
>tfw every play of the game at the end of the match is just someone managing to get a few kills without fucking up
>tfw everyone always spams the "thank you" emote for doing a passable job
>tfw ywn see silver

What games do you try and fail at, anons?

>What games do you try and fail at, anons?
Life

Well, I meant other than the game of Life. I'm pretty sure no one's a master at that.

i was pretty bad at overwatch when i played it during their free weekend

Is that the only time you ever played it?

yep

if there's another free weekend, maybe i'll go suck at it some more

It's odd how much fun you can have playing something you're no good at, isn't it? I bought the game, so I can play it whenever, and whenever I do I can't remotely compete with anyone. But sometimes things come together just right and you manage to make a difference, no matter how small. It's a good feeling.

i liked how no one was very skilled at the shooting part, but not that they were so unskilled that they thought our team didn't need a healer

also i really, really suck at all the healers

>See Dirty Bomb
>looks very fun so install it
>despite 100 hours i still get 8/30 1000-3000k games
>unlock Sambonez and equip a card that has a ak-u
>get 2/45 and 8000k points team loved me
>mfw i just threw random medkits and revived 5 people at all
this game its just too fucking fast for me but i like

>i liked how no one was very skilled at the shooting part, but not that they were so unskilled that they thought our team didn't need a healer

Yeah, I typically end up being the healer when everyone else picks Bastion and Hanzo on Attack, etc., and boy am I bad at it. But I love the gratitude I get regardless. Even when I can barely manage to keep up with topping my team's healthbars, they still say thanks.

I cheat in pretty much any game that allows me to do so because I can't be fucked to play it normally. I rarely finish games to the end, generally getting bored about halfway through.

The only exception I can think of is KOTOR 1/2

>this game its just too fucking fast for me but i like

I think some people just don't have the reaction time or fine motor skills to be competitive at shooters. And you know what? That's just okay. I'm one of them. I try my best to be helpful to my team regardless, whether it's picking support or just huddling together with them and trying not to get separated.

>I rarely finish games to the end, generally getting bored about halfway through.

I'm the same way now, though it was different when I was younger. I still enjoy playing games now and then, but I don't have the sheer autism to see them all the way through unless I'm really interested in the story or feel like I haven't yet seen everything the game has to offer. Like, in Breath of the Wild I played a lot of hours, until I had explored all the map, but I never beat Ganon. I had seen everything I felt there was to see.

There was though. Hugh Hefner won the game of Life.

>Hugh Hefner

If you call that winning, I guess.

>Used to play USF4 quite a while back and tried to come back
>everyone left is really fucking good, i don't have my arcade stick anymore and i get owned by shit i see a mile away due to onnection issues. I also forgot most of the links and moves i used to do with Vega and T.Hawk
>Tried Street Fighter 5 but that game is boring as hell, i'm also horrible at offense and have no patience
>Tried playing GG Xrd up to Rev 2, ALWAYS get dominated and perfected by Sin players, even though i tried everything i could and followed every piece of advice I've been told and still could even get near a Sin player, same with leo, raven and millia.
>Tried skullgirls but lost 200 matches in a row and didn't learn a fucking thing either
>I tried mortal kombat X but i find it confusing and got ass blasted by some FGC user who only spammed a sub-zeromove and couldn't dealk with it.

I wanted to be good but i'm just fucking awful at fightans, i kinda regret been invested on them because nothing comes close tome as seen you get good at every match, but that doesn't happen anymore. I was thinking on getting DBFZ but i'm sure i'll fuck it up.

Man, I'm envious that you have the grit to lose 200 times in a row. I would've given up way sooner. Fighting games are basically wizardry as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't make it out of the tutorial for Skullgirls. The timings for even the most basic moves are insane. Milliseconds off, and you whiff the move.

>Man, I'm envious that you have the grit to lose 200 times in a row.

Don't be, it was pretty wasted time.

I tried getting back into fightans trough communities and discord but most of them just shitpost there or rarely play,when they do they don't play at the same time as i am able to so most fightans have nothing but empty lobbies in my region.

>most fightans have nothing but empty lobbies in my region

Well that sucks. From where do you hail?

Brazil

>tfw wasted my life playing vidya
>tfw still bad at them

>tfw online opponents toy with you when they realize you weren't missing them on purpose

>Playing so bad the opponent starts fucking with you because he knows you suck
>People start avoiding you because you are so fucking bad.

Happened way too many times.

I'm not proud of this, but there were a couple times where I was legitimately trying my hardest to 1v1 someone, straining my very soul - and still couldn't touch them. And they knew it, and kept finding me to fuck with me. And I wanted to cry, because I knew I'd never be able to beat them.

>What games do you fail at

Literally, and I mean literally, any instance of anything where I'm pitted against other players. 27 years of this crap. I've played videogames all my life but I've never gotten even remotely competent at any of them. I refuse to play multiplayer games now for this reason, it's not fun getting facerolled instantly as soon as another player gets involved in the equation.

I dunno, at least you have the good sense to draw a line in the sand and just have fun by yourself. Some of us are just competent enought not to get noticed for bad play at the lowest levels, but will never be good enough to stand out or compete. And occasionally when you get exposed as a shitter, it hurts. It hurts so bad.

I have almost 600 hours logged into L4D2, but I still get my shit kicked in almost every time I play.

>600 hours

Wow. I don't think I've ever put that much time into getting my ass kicked. Even when playing MtG as a poorfag who couldn't afford the good cards. To be fair to you, L4D is fun as hell. I can imagine still choosing to play it even if I sucked.

>because I knew I'd never be able to beat them.
that honestlyfeels like shit.

I felt the same when playing MKX and looking for the available players.

>Every time you go online to fight other players you can see their W/L ratio and your percentage of winning
>Most of them have thousands of victories
>It also shows you have 0% chance of winning.

Very encouraging.

Haha, it shows your estimated chance of winning? Wtf. Were the developers Terminators sent back in time to humiliate people? Jesus. Fighting game culture is fucked.

it was probably meant for people to be encourage to play during the games launch, anyone getting into the game now will get fucked though. I kinda how dark the game and teh stages are while making every character have 3 distinct movesets, every single one of them feels like a butchered character.

multiplayer fighting games & RTS games.

thankfully though fighting games are literal cancer so I've never bothered to really even try to learn, and RTS is a dead genre

>RTS is a dead genre

I feel like RTS games were never a great idea, desu. You had to split your attention between what are essentially two different games, one involving resource accumulation and allotment, which was basically rock-paper-scissors with spreadsheets, and one involving gaining the mouse-and-keyboard ability of a coked-up South Korean. Real-time tactics, on the other hand, are less of a mess and more complete in themselves. Plus they're oddly relaxing to watch. Anyone here watch Indrid's casts of DoW2 matches? Shit's fun.
