Game that you love but suck at?

Super Mario 3. Still can not beat that game even with the flutes.

Football games, the real football not that ball in hand kind. I'm actually good at it and can hold my own against the AI on the highest difficulty but I got a friend who always trashes me in FIFA.

I also love God Games but my only experience with them is black and white, also those games where you create stuff, love'em but can't build a track or a level to save my life.

mortal kombat. im about average at the game. considering i grew up on it and had access to an arcade cabinet that my uncle owns, i should be a beast at it. im just ok tho, but i love playing it to this day.

Starcraft

I don't really play it anymore but, i played it for years and I always was just subpar at best

Shmups.

I'm pretty terrible at the genre but I always come back to and find myself playing them.

I'll 1cc a shmup some day. One day...

Mortal Kombat 9. I love MK but I'm pretty sucky at fighting games, I have a tendency to forget the combos

I guess Super Smash Bros. I was and still am not remotely good at fighting games, but those were always fun games to play regardless of skill level.

Persona 4 Arena, or fighting games in general.

Hmm, i wouldn´t say i suck at any game

But being a more casual laid back gamer i am at most a very average gamer who plays to many different games to be really good at one of them.

Any Zelda game

Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition, I'm pretty average which is why I usually don't play it online but I still enjoy it a lot.

RTSes (can't micromanage at a macro level), hardcore sims (such as DCS sims), and some fighters (I'd love to be good at Last Blade II, but it's too complex).

To say the least, Street Fighter.

Yep. Fighting games in general for me. I love Killer Instinct, and I wish I was better at it. But for me, their is almost always just way too much depth for me to process in these games, and it feels like you need to take a college course to understand them. Same goes for sim racers.

Call of Duty.... hmm which way should i go? wrong... I'm dead.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown. I didn't suck exactly but I was nothing special. Need to replay it one day.

Sonic Unleashed

Shame I never finished that "Eggmanland" I was so close to the ultimate finish

Fifa and COD online multiplayer. Just haven't got the brain for it :( !

Now that I think of it, I can't really love a game that I suck at. It just gets frustrating and end up hating it.

Any Online Shooter. I love to play Halo, at least when a new one first comes out. But I never do very well, typically hitting an ineffectual 1:1 Kill/Death ratio. In Halo: Reach I managed to do slightly better, but I abused the hell out of cheap tactics in the Elite modes. Spawn with Plasma Pistol, run up to enemy with it charged, disable shields, whack-a-mole, rinse and repeat.

Any MOBA: I've tried League of Legends, I've tried Dota 2, and I tried DC Universe's Infinite Crisis. I just don't get them in the least. But I'm not really big into any online multiplayer so it's not surprising that I wouldn't do particularly well in these. Still, I just can't wrap my head around them. This one doesn't technically fit your criteria as I don't actually love them despite sucking at them, but I'd be lying if I said I was never interested. It sucks being on the outside of a huge trend in games but here I am.

Any online Fighting game: This one is actually kind of sad for me. In the 90s arcade scene, I was pretty good at most Fighters. I didn't play many of the SNK branded games other than Samurai Showdown, but Street Fighter 2 and all its iterations, the first 3 Mortal Kombat games, Street Fighter 3, Killer Instinct and company; I was a force to be reckoned with. Now I'm too damned old to play well despite still having that desire to play them. There's rarely enough single player content to justify a purchase price outside of Netherrealm's stuff so I've let a lot of Fighters pass me by.

Soul Calibur games (mostly 2). I've played the game to death but I can't for the life of me make an effective combo.

Glad to see I'm not the only one.

I like Chiki Chiki Boys for Mega Drive, but I have always found it to be too difficult for me.

Online shooters are fun but I just blow so bad, it's embarrassing :P

Probably Gran Turismo, though it's not my most favorite game. But yeah, I'm not that good, though my replays look like a CPU is controlling the car, I'm not a fast driver...nor do I know how to drive IRL. Hahaha! :D

I struggle to maintain a 1 K/D at most online shooters, but I've been playing less of them. I'm also not that good at action games but have been playing more of them and getting better. There isn't really a reason to suck at an entire genre of games, you just have to put in some more effort.

Battlefield 3. I always PTFO and do pretty good with spotting, capturing flags, etc, but I don't get a high k/d ratio like I would prefer. But I do get some good kills and always end up catching the over confident veterans who have the maps memorized off guard.

I'm Awesome!!!!

I'd have to say any modern FPS. I'm fine with Doom, Quake and games of that type, but I don't seem to do very well at the likes of Call of Duty, Battlefield and Far Cry 3...

There was a time where I would put Donkey Kong Country on here, but I am Donkey Kong, now... So I'll put Sonic the Hedgehog here.

Counter Strike, Blaz Blue, Virtua Fighter

Super Street Fighter IV

Strategy and FPS for sure. I am not totally useless, but i am not good compared to most people

dark souls

All video games. I am bad at all video games.

Does being lazy count as being bad? If so, for me it has to be MMO endgame where I see everybody with shiny gear but I can't be bothered to raid anymore...those years are behind me.

Same for me. It's especially frustrating because I used to be really good at them back in the 90s. So it's not just a case of "I wish I could", it's a case of "I wish I still could". Which is far more disheartening.

League of Legends.

It’s fun but I’m just not on standard to play PVP

Pinball FX 2 and Pinball Arcade. I'm horrible at every table, but I can't stop playing it....

Demon's Souls/Dark Souls

The game controlled amazingly and using each weapon felt right, but no matter how slow I took it and how many times I tried, I couldn't get through the game because of dying then having to go back through countless times.

I'm throwing my hat in with everyone who said fighting games. I love them, and tend to reach 'competent' with most of them, and usually tend to hold my own with friends in local multiplayer, but when i go online and come against people who are actually good, I get wrecked.

Also agree with the guy talking about shmups. I picked up a bunch of region free shmups on the 360, and supported the European releases of Deathsmiles, Akai Katana and Under Defeat, but haven't ever gotten good enough to 1cc any of them, even on the easiest difficulties.

People have also talked about getting frustrated with games, I find that happens most when it's a game that I think I'm good at. I tend not to get too angry if I'm getting beaten at something I know I'm terrible at (my K/D in most FPS games is woeful) but when it's a game I think I'm good at, I take losses really badly. Weirdly, the first game where this really manifested for me was Guitar Hero 3.

On Counter Strike (an online version) my KD can range from 0.5 to 1.5 depending on my mood.

Starcraft II. I love that game, but its so frustrating that at some points its not even fun anymore. I am currently on a starcraft II break due to my last rage fit I had lol. I am about gold/platinum level

I suck MP in Warcraft/Starcraft... Love the games, but I can't fight and build a base inside a strict BO at the same time, I just can't.

And I thought I sucked in fighting games, despite loving them. I totally suck at SF4. But don't ask me how, I managed to reach a 2/1 level in UMvsC3. But man... MONTHS and MONTHS of training. You really have to love a game, to play the same thing and Practice mode for months. I bought guides, started to memorize frames, bought an arcade stick (required if you want to up your game), and know I can hold my own online.

Problem is, I can't play with my friends. They are under the noob level, so it simply not fun. I let them play, and I keep drinking beer and working as a "consultant".... hehehe... It's kinda of a trade off.

Populous (Megadrive).

Love it but can only get to about level 20 before it all blows up in my stupid face.

Ditto. The original XCOM games were even less forgiving.

I am terrible at the Total War games. I do alright in the short term but in the long game I have a hell of a time maintaining a large empire. Keeping the kingdom/shogunate/city-states/whatever fed and happy while simultaneously upkeeping an army large enough to hold it all always proved to be a challenge.

Also, Dirt 3 may as well be a boating simulator for as much time as I spend in lakes.

-Byshop

Final Fight, Double Dragon, Jackie Chan Adventures, I just suck at Beat 'Em Ups, Hack n Slash, Shoot "Em Ups, and Run n Guns in general. I love these games to death though and will keep playing until the vein on my forehead eventually pops from the rage.

Battletoads, but everyone sucks at battletoads so I don't feel too bad :D
