lol wow I'm glad I have the abilities to pick up any game and learn quickly the best way to win and survive. All of those games are easy to me.
Counter Strike Source - Seriously, it's rare that I get to kill more than 1 or 2 persons during a game.
Street Fighter games - The AI is so cheap and people online are beasts.
Most online FPS games. I hardly ever get a lot of kills. I do get a lot of points in games like Bad Company 2 or Team Fortress 2 where I can play as a support class.
Fighting games in general are way too difficult for me. I tried playing both Street Fighter and MvC online, but that was a disaster, got destroyed in pretty much every match, so I stay away from most fighting games.
Also, I don't really play them, but sports games and RTS, since I really have no clue what's going on there.
Aside from that I do an okay job at most other genres, online or offline. I guess my strongest would be shooters and driving/racing games.
Battletoads for NES
Any singing game on difficult or expert
Halo-- I can't can't friggin' figure out how to be good on Halo. I am decent at many other FPS games but definitely not Halo.
Well, your list is composed of games that are difficult to everybody but players that specialize in them.
BFBC 2; the game requires an enourmous amount of situational awareness. Players who are used to any other FPS will definitely have a low K/D ratio for a while- it takes getting used to. One simple tip; when running across a road, or any opening where there is a chance you may get shot, WAIT for someone else to run in front of you. If they get killed (and in Battlefield, its always likely) than you know not to run there, and sometimes you can even kill the guy that shot him if he was spotted before getting the kill. Follow people all the time, and eventually you will intuitively know danger/safe. It isn't a problem with skill, its experience.
As for fighting games, they cater to people with fast reflexes and a good memory. You can naturally not have fast reflexes, and you can't really gain them. I'm sure you can get faster, but to this day I can't play competitive fighting games because I just can't react fast enough. I don't have slow reflexes, but I find the people playing fighting games often are very fast. It also requires an immense amount of memorization for combos in certain games, and I just don't have the time or will for that.
If by CS you mean counter-strike. It's an old game, and was imensely popular. Nowadays it is only the ultra-devotional or once-hardcore CS players. They are all freakishly good. Alot are also freakishly geeky. For some reason, CS has more hackers than any other game I played.
Modern Warfare: Call of Duty is incredibly biased to good players, kill streaks heavily outweigh death streaks. Also, good players will find other good players to team up with and stack a team, filling it many times. PLayers who aren't skilled often don't play as much anyway, and so don't seek out regular teamates. Thus the naturally unbalanced gameplay combines with the unbalanced nature of competition to make it seemingly hard. I just camp the whole time, works great.
RTS games are filled with players who memorized to the last detail their strategies, they've spent ALOT of time, and ALOT of games, and probably started out losing ALOT. These are the people who are undetterred by frustration, because there is nothing more frustrating than losing in an RTS game. Well thought out tactics appear to new players as "cheap" and "unfair" when in fact, the game is built around them. RTS junkies and hardcore gamers make multipalyer unbearable to newcomers. I used to be good at Dawn of WAr, but expansions kept coming out, so I got tired of learning new strategies.
I don't have time to get good at these. I have a select few mp games I'm good at, the rest is single player. You are probably like me in that you like games, but don't have a huge amount of time to set aside for practice
X3: Who designed this game? Learning curve makes a seasoned gamer of 15 years cry at trying to learn it.
Really? I never played any of the X2, X3 games. Jumped right into X3 - Terran Conflict as I heard it's the least buggy game of the series. Takes some fiddling of the controls but the rest was pretty easy to figure out. A lot of people say it has a steep learning curve and it could take a few days to learn how to play it right. I'm glad I didn't find it that hard or else it would have just ended up in my backlog. :PX3: Who designed this game? Learning curve makes a seasoned gamer of 15 years cry at trying to learn it.

I don't know, dude.
But when I play fighting games, I train on one character for like 358 hours, my sister comes in and picks up a controller, never having played it.
She beats my ass.
Metal Gear Online. Not that I hate playing, I love it... but everyone is just so damn good with the headshots.
Dead rising 2, i just dont have the "stomach for it"dakan45
Actually, the first one isn't easy at all, I repeated the game multiple times until I could beat it at level 40.
Red Orchestra- A player will snipe you right out of nowhere as soon as you step out of cover.Corpseman1
Hehe, it's become my pride that I've somewhat learned to kill a man in the shape of a pixel off in the distance with a boltie. Really though, if you keep moving, an intermediate RO player still wouldn't be able to hit you. If you do get killed when you're flat-out sprinting, I think your enemy deserves that kill.
As for difficult games, literally any competitive fighters. I can play against bots fine, but when it comes to real countering and combos, I'm completely lost.
1. BF BC 2 - I cant kill anybody. I die before I see the enemy. Random explosions dont make a game cooler. 2. RTS games - What the frick do I click? 3. CS 1.6 and CS:S - Hey a i see somebody! BAABAABOOM! "WTH?" So basically I always die right when I see the enemy. 4. TF 2 - I like the look and feel of the game. But ffs! does nobody in this game die? I know its not like COD, but this hp is waaaayyy too much for me. 5. COD: MW2 - I dont think I suck at COD, its just MW2 that was ridiculously unbalanced with the OP guns and 0.00002 second deaths. 6. Fighting Games - Too little content in fighting games for me to get into, so I barely practice as much as others do. I can be good at games if I dedicate enough time and effort into them, but there are just too many games for me to practice.. and theres the fact that a lot of games take a loooong time to become good at. So what games do you find too difficult to play?Kocelot
battletoads, double dragon, and Dragon age origins. all i have yet to beat
other than this i have yet to find a game that is "difficult" to me.
Devil May Cry 1+3 on Normal and higher difficulties.
Super R-Type,or most space shooters.
Super Ghouls n Ghosts.
Sin and Punishment Succesor of the Skies.
Counter Strike: My K/D Ratio is always something like 0.0000001 because there are too many hardcore players
Starcraft 2: I'm too lazy to learn the hotkeys and all
Diablo 2: It's not that I can't play it, but its so damn difficult for me that I end up sweating after some battles (not literally...)
Demon's Souls: No need for explanation
It's still alive!? Dang, I need a PS3 and MGS4...I'd probably play as Raiden. Anyway, for me, the game that's JUST too hard is MGS3 Snake Eater version, it's fun and I can survive a gunfight, but when I sneak, I get caught because I got used to MGS2 and its deaf guards, plus, when I just barely touch the analog stick, just BARELY enough to move, he starts running, it's like he can't sneak. MGS3 Subsistence would be so much easier for me. I envy you, MGS3S owners :P honestly though, I want MGS3S some day.Metal Gear Online. Not that I hate playing, I love it... but everyone is just so damn good with the headshots.

I completely agree. I could never get the hang on aiming.
Its still a fun game though.
Just one: ENSLAVED: Odyssey to the West - on the hardest difficulty, now I'm not normally bad on the hardest difficulty, but this was ludricrously stupidly hard.
I'm generally good at fighters, but BlazBlue is pretty frustrating, and a few Darkstalkers combos are just ridiculous. Also, I hate it when people start juggling you and you can't move. I like fighters, but playing online is cheap, and frustrating.
wowww. So you think BFBC2 has just random explosions?? BFBC2 is a very deep game once you put the time in.
I haven't really played any singleplayer games that were too hard, I am good at MP, but I'm not good at "realistic" MP where you die in like three hits.
I'd have to say Demon Souls. I already beat it of course. It's the fact that it gets even harder after you beat it that drains away my motivation to keep on playing.
I love a challenge but this game kicks my ass. I need a strategy guide as I find early in I'm 'running away' as after dying time and time again I keep running out of souls and 'meds' but the bad guying keep regenerating. Oh well... gotta keep chipping away ....some day I'll finish it (lawl) ;)I'd have to say Demon Souls. I already beat it of course. It's the fact that it gets even harder after you beat it that drains away my motivation to keep on playing.

As long as the game is well designed, there really aren't any. I've had terrible learning curves with games like I Wanna be the Guy, Super Meat Boy, The Adventures of Bayou Billy, etc. However, if the gameplay is precise and difficulty is legitimate, then I'll always plug my way though until I beat the game.
There are some games that I've never beaten, but it's never been 100% because of difficulty. The closest I can think of is from old SHUMPS like Galaga and Gun-Nac.
