Hotline Miami 2?

Yeah that's pretty much Dark Souls 2 level of difficulty.

>Enemies can see you across the map
>Glass windows everywhere
>Enemies that can block bullets
>Fat enemies with guns
>Enemies that immediately charge at you when the level loads

The list goes on. Reaction time and accuracy isn't enough anymore. You have to stop, look around, and memorize the map.

RTS and FPS, I grew up with these two genres.

Fighting games, MOBAs and Grand Strategy.

I have a knack for most shootan and I'm "above average" level at fightan compared if we both picked up a new fighting game, just because I know fundamentals.

I'm good at rhythm games to an Asian showing off degree. It's sad the genre doesn't exist anymore.

I really want to get into fighting games but I'm too shit at them to fully enjoy them, well, except for Smash but that's different. Thinking about getting the new Guilty Gear actually, is it good? And how do I git gud?

Wrong, you can see enemies before they see you if you use shift.
>>Glass windows everywhere
Easy to counter with a gun or being fast at reacting
>>Enemies that can block bullets
Only the ninja cubans and a few soldiers, for that you can quickly drop a gun and grab a meele weapon
>>Fat enemies with guns
Drop the same meele weapon and pick up your rifle again
>>Enemies that immediately charge at you when the level loads
Only on dead ahead and demolition and both are generic mobs you can knock out.

You are just a retard.

After dying a few times, yeah of course I would pick up on those tips, the problem is that they didn't convey any of those details until you die from them.

I had to press shift more times than I did in HM1, which was just about speed, reaction time, and accuracy. All those things still play a role in HM2 but on your first playthrough, there is a greater emphasis on looking around and crowd control. The maps are huge in comparison and are filled to the brim with enemies.

Mecha games / Dudebro shooters / MMO PvP

I have a pretty good feel for physics and logistics. My reaction times aren't great and my aim is generally kind of poor but I can press buttons very, very fast. If I can time for things in advance I do great because I can get into a rhythm and my hands can always keep up. I can't predict other people's behavior very well but I am very reckless and other people have a lot of issues predicting mine.

It's sort of a mixed bag so my performance varies wildly even between fairly similar games, or even within different parts of a game. If a game rewards me with items that have good flavor I can play for hundreds of hours without going soft and get an absolute ton of practice. I'm not very competitive and I prefer to play *against* the computer in co-op.

I'm really good at Monster Hunter and I enjoy gunning. I am really bad at PVE in Dark Souls but I clean up in PVP. I would probably be pretty good at RTS and fighting games if I had friends interested in them, so I mostly play RPGs and shooters.

There are also the Miku games on PS3, Vita, and DS. Pretty sure there is going to be a new one on the PS4 next year.

I think they still have a demo on PS3 if you want to give it a try.

I'm amazing at fighting games, anything execution/mindgames based for that matter.

I'm trash at fps though, used to play it when I was young but lost my aim and can't be bothered to get it back.

I'd say I'm pretty great at shooters. But I'm awful at "proper" fighting games. The inputs are anti-fun.

Yes Dark 2 had moments where the developers went "fuck it let's make this area frustratingly stupid instead of challenging" but it was never as bad as HM2.
>>
>>321573039

Good point. I just used DS2 as an example because I haven't played that many games that have the "kill the player until they learn the trick" type of gameplay, or at least, I try to avoid those types of games.

Any multiplayer game desu senpai
I mean I did decently in wow and a couple other games but that's that, decent (read average) in a couple of games, the rest I'm the fucking bottom or barely above it. I don't know why. I never was a multiplayer guy. And I can get pretty gud at singles. Memegames like souls and hm are fine, grand strategy etc, everything, maybe besides snes-era platformers, ok.

I excel at psychological and intellectual/strategical games.

I suck at games with a focus on cooperation or physical abilities testing your reaction-time, reflexes or rhythm.


I think I've been through most every western and eastern genre of board, card, sports and video game.

I am literally unbeatable in games like Town of Salem and I suck the most at fast paced shooters like quake, gunz and games like DDR.

I play visual novels a lot of the time so I'm not sure if any of this even matters much.

Do you think there are any better games than Chess and Nine Men's Morris in existence?
I don't.
>>
Shooters
I'm pretty good at putting my crosshair exactly where I want it to be, so I can get pretty good shots if I can read my enemy.
Character action games are pretty fun and I always like playing them on the hardest available difficulty.
I'm decent at fighters, not interested enough to actually get good though.
I suck dick at most turn based things though, anything that requires forethought(find and equip this piece of gear before the fight, make sure to have these party members, this attack is strong against them but you won't know that until after you hit them with it etc) or where the outcome of the fight is determined by elements outside of it.

I'm exceptional when it comes to third-person shooters and survival horror. I'm above average on FPS, strategy, rhythm, platformer, etc.

Racing and Sports I'm pretty terrible at. Racing especially, I mean, I play GTA a lot so I can drive a car from one destination to another no problem but when you put a time limit or other players to compete against me, I succumb to the pressure.

Good at mobas

Awful at fighting and strategy games, but those are my two favourite genres so I keep fucking buying them and suffering through

I'm pretty good at Rocket League though. It's not really racing but I am in a car competing against other players' cars.

FPS and Fighting games

Weak at RTS games. I don't like seeing my guys die or be used as cannon fodder and get sidetracked.

I'm good with racing games, games based around the idea of cooperation like Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, beat 'em ups, and platformers, maybe above average with point and click adventure games, and I'm starting to get the hang of Touhou, since I wanted start up the games and enjoy everything from it. I get some moderate fun out of life sims, like The Sims 3 and Animal Crossing.
I'm pretty shit at most rhythm games, I'm a huge pussy when it comes to a lot of the horror games, and I suck ass at fighting games.

>I don't like seeing my guys die or be used as cannon fodder

That's a natural response isn't it? When you see a character die, you feel like you're doing something wrong. In the grand scheme of things it might just be a necessary sacrifice for victory. That sounds a lot like real life doesn't it?
>>
I'm really good at third person combat games, Monster Hunter (fuckin love it) and Dark Souls especially. Also above average at rhythm games and shooters of most types.

I absolutely cannot into fighting games, and am not too great at RTSs.
