Uh no people who suck at video games usually suck at platformers most of the time. Expecially 2D platformers. Just ask someone like HC Bailly, Naka Teleeli and Chuggaconroy. Hell my brother even agrees with me and he's good at video games unlike me.

The eye coordination for most platformers is something I just don't have. I also have a lot of trouble memorzing boss patterns and what to do with them.

I guess I just never had a huge problem with platformers outside of VVVVVV and classic Megaman.

JRPGs are far from a cakewalk, and give me more trouble, especially with Etrian Odyssey.

Etrian Odyssey 1-2 can be absolutely, unforgivingly brutal. EO4 is the easiest of the series, and it is still able to keep you on your toes. Some of the Final Fantasy bosses are challenging, too.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #12877 on:** November 07, 2015, 09:38:40 PM

Yeah JRPG's are usually easier for people who suck at other video games that require precision and quick actions, even the hard ones. My brother was impressed that I was able to beat FF5 and Dragon Quest 9 which are pretty hard, though DQ 9 was mostly due to the need to money grind since money is so hard to make in that game.

FF5 is the only FF game I've beaten too, mostly because I either got bored/distracted with another game, got stuck at the late phases of FF4, though I could probably get through if I needed, or just really bad luck in 6. Ultros kept killing Banon somehow and if Banon dies it's instant game over. I have no idea why that kept happening either, it's a mystery to me of why that happened, especially with Fire spamming. 6 is supposed to be mostly [acid burst] easy. But I will get my revenge someday, I will get my revenge.

I suck at platformers. RPGs, fighting games, beat-em-ups, rail shooters, puzzle games, and FPS are what I'm good at.

And my FPS control scheme drives seasoned players absolutely bonkers because I invert the Y axis.

Oh and for the record Phi, anything made by Atlus will be ball bustingly hard and want to make you pull your hair out. Any Atlus game. That's how they usually make their games.

Except Virtual Hylide, which is just bad like all the Hylide games. In fact that's probably the worst one. It's hard for all the wrong reasons.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #12880 on:** November 07, 2015, 09:55:16 PM

Platformers are my jam! Probably better at those than any other genre. Puzzle games I'm alright at. 3D Mech Fighting games are pretty great as well.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #12881 on:** November 07, 2015, 09:57:07 PM

I also suck really badly at FPSes, I cannot aim my shots for the life of me. I really neglect the Gun Mode in God Eater which is really bad when I'm up against Sariel type enemies.

Phi · **Reply #12882 on:** November 07, 2015, 10:04:42 PM

I'm no veteran at FPS games, but I reckon I'm good at them in single player campaigns. I can aim very well.

Online multiplayer is a different story, though. Veteran FPS gamers are the worst to deal with. Both in skill and obnoxious behavior.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #12883 on:** November 07, 2015, 10:13:07 PM

Oh I will guarantee I will get last place in any FPS multiplayer match. Guanteed.

FPSes are worse than Platformers to me.

Also I suck at Mario 64, really suck. Granted I only played it once, but I suck. Mario Sunshine too.

Also Mario and Luigi Dream Team is also pretty hard for a JRPG.

irgpie · **Reply #12884 on:** November 07, 2015, 10:26:22 PM

I'd consider myself best at shooters but I've largely dropped any PVP ones for the sake of my health. I'm probably rusty with stuff like TF2 now.

Other than that I'm kind of bad at everything. I've especially lost all patience with platformers.

Quickman · **Reply #12885 on:** November 07, 2015, 10:39:18 PM

I prefer single player and co-op campaigns for FPS games. Did a few multiplayer, but I prefer to use my player profile for my control scheme, else I'll waste time setting up my controls.

Bow down to my inverted Y axis!

Sakura Leic · **Reply #12886 on:** November 07, 2015, 10:41:14 PM

Oh I also suck at Star Fox, especially 64.

*huddles in a corner in shame*

Phi · **Reply #12887 on:** November 07, 2015, 11:03:29 PM

I'm actually really good at shmups.

I still need to play Star Fox 64 3D.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #12888 on:** November 07, 2015, 11:14:50 PM

I'd probably be better with something like Gardius, but I would need Save States. And maybe the Konami code.

irgpie · **Reply #12889 on:** November 07, 2015, 11:15:31 PM

Despite my fanaticism of a certain shmup, I'm not terribly good at them except the multiplayer one that's a lot more random in patterns. Probably because they're less pretty and don't magnetize my eyes away from where I should be looking.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #12890 on:** November 07, 2015, 11:18:17 PM

I really like Jamestown, but I suck at it like nobody else. And don't get me started with Touhou.

Quickman · **Reply #12891 on:** November 07, 2015, 11:46:14 PM

I'm okay at SHMups, but prefer multiplayer or rail shooters. Though, I was decent at Rogue Squadron and Rebel Assault. Not great, but decent enough to clear stages at the bare minimum.

Though, on the N64, I mostly played Perfect Dark 64. Then I graduated to Halo and kept a similar control scheme. Inverted my Y a is for Battlefront, too.

I can't play a FPS without having the Y axis inverted. It just feels more natural for me to push down to look up.

irgpie · **Reply #12892 on:** November 07, 2015, 11:53:27 PM

Oh, good. Wasn't sure if you meant inverted with a mouse. That'd be weird. Control stick makes sense.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #12893 on:** November 07, 2015, 11:54:48 PM

Yeah I like inverted control stick controls on certain things as well.

Quickman · **Reply #12894 on:** November 08, 2015, 12:07:28 AM

For PC, I prefer keyboard controls.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #12895 on:** November 08, 2015, 12:10:28 AM

I have to get a game pad myself. I've actually been debating getting a USB SNES controller for emulated SNES games like A Link to the Past. I don't have the precision I need with the Logitech Joystick and the D-pad just plain sucks.

Amatiramisu · **Reply #12896 on:** November 08, 2015, 12:15:36 AM

I play competitive Counter-Strike so I'd like to say FPS is one of the genres I'm good at.
I burned myself on JRPGs during my teenage years so I'm not really a massive fan of the genre these days. (Although looking back, I'm suddenly getting the urge to sit down and finish Summon Night: Swordcraft Story.) I'm more into WRPGs, FPS games, and arcade racers these days, believe it or not.
Of course I still go for the odd platformer. Shovel Knight is my jam atm.

I use a wireless 360 controller for literally everything from SNES to PS2 to PC.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #12897 on:** November 08, 2015, 12:19:34 AM

Another thing I've been debating on getting is an Xbone Controller for the PC, just for the better D-Pad and it would probably feel better in my hands than a 360 controller. I just don't like 360 controllers that much unfortunately.

But it's sooooooooooooooooo expensive, I mean $50 is a bit much for a controller really. That's the price of a damn game.

It's something I want, but it's not a priority.

Amatiramisu · **Reply #12898 on:** November 08, 2015, 12:21:56 AM

Same. I really hugely prefer the X1 controller. The 360 controller is riding on perfect but the X1 is somehow so much better due to the improved sticks/triggers. It just feels so smooth.

But I'm not dropping 50 bucks on that.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #12899 on:** November 08, 2015, 12:23:56 AM

Yeah seriously for all the things the Xbone [tornado fang]'d up at least they got the controller right.
