its something I've suffered from my whole life and effects millions of people around the world (and is probabaly why I'm on this forum)

I suck at video games

seriously how is it someone can pick up a controller a wipe the floor with me when I've been playing the game for years? am I the only one who doesn't cheat?

If by cheat you mean "learn to play the game well" then yes, you are the only one.

Hello CTP. I'm Junii and I too suck at video games.

RTS? sorry, but I suck big time on those.

and while I do cheat. I at least play though a game once before cheating.

I'm good at FPS, but poor at RTS. So I suppose I have good motor control and reaction times, but less strategic planning ability.

I also play the piano well: fast notes or leaps aren't a problem, but I sometimes feel my overall interpretation lacks something.

These may be related.

Quite bad at RTS and quite good at FPS.

aren't computer games supposed to be fun?

oh gawd I suck at RTS like seriously why the hell do infantry suck so hard in those games :(

A common misconception.

I'm decent at RTS, excellent at TBS, and mediocre at FPS. So yes, I have to think you are the only one :p

get Stalin vs Martians, it requires no skill at all except for clicking on what you want to die

but how can I expect to dance in a getup like that? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAfsSA6_GrE)

I'm awful at FPS, but pretty much unmatched at RTS.

My guess is you get too excited and take the game too seriously. The same thing happens in sports all the time. RELAX and you'll win.

I suck at multiplayer gaming (save for SSBM/SSBB), but I'm great at solo playing.

I have no coordination and so suck totally at most games. I'm passably good at FPS games through practice. I tend to learn the map, find the best weapon and get full shield/body armour should such a thing exist, then camp somewhere with only one entrance. Failing that, charge around with a rocket launcher firing randomly, hopefully killing others slightly more than I kill myself.

I'm pretty good at FPS and RTS, and real good at TBS's. But then I play Total War for hours.

I do however hate, and suck (these may be related) at RPG's. I get bored of the endless random battles and skip them, thus when I come up against a boss....

oh gawd I suck at RTS like seriously why the hell do infantry suck so hard in those games :(For RTS... it just... I mean... well... there are somethings I like to do while playing video games.

Blinking is one.

ah, the old 'recon through missle fire'. I use that technique lot myself.

I've only met one person who was better than me at FPS games, but plenty who are better at RTS. For some reason I just flounder at them. I'm alright enough to finish the campaigns, but the computer is normally inept and easily predictable. I was really good at rise of nations though.

*sob*

I can't answer the POLL!!!

:(

*shows age and shows l337 M4d 5k1lLz*

When the only multiplayer FPS was Doom2 4 player on a LAN, I was the best (err, out of my 4 friends)
I was in a quake2 CTF mod clan, I think we got to something like number 3 in an international league which was cool, but expensive as it was dial-up at the time. That's also one of the principle reasons my MA didn't quite work out :)
I managed to complete Quake on nightmare - that felt pretty awesome at the time! God I'm pathetic.

Now I just play TF2, L4D and KillingFloor online - not up to my glory days standards though probably due to having to work.

I suck at multiplayer RTS. :(

I don't like this poll. I have crazy mad skillz and have touched boob. You are skewing the results CTP!

I'm good at FPS's. good at RTS, good at RPG's. My favourite kind of game is one of open world gaming, having huge environments to explore.

I play every game I get on the hardest difficult available, because I know I'll be bored if I don't. My life is so pathetic. *weeps*

Online, I float around rank 38 in Halo. One day I'll hit forty, I know it!

I've been doing that lately. CoD: WaW on Veteran diffculty makes the whole thing go from game to "Oh shit! They're shooting at me! I need cover! I need cover! Argh Banzai charge! No, they're throwing 20 grenades at me!" Bang. Dead.

I literally spent 2 hours on one level yesterday.
