/v/ is incapable of admitting they're anything short of godly at vidya, it comes with being an angsty teen.

But yeah, I fundamentally suck at certain aspects of timing and precision, so even after hundreds of hours I'm only just above average.

However, my awfulness in fighting games is legendary.

>Can barley do very easy difficulty against AI

I main indie games now. Indie games and FPS.

I guess I'm ok at FPS, but only relatively. I can't twitch aim for shit even after over 10 years of playing the fucking games so I suck at stuff like quake and just play painkiller instead. On normal difficulty. Never higher because I get rkt,

At least I have my indie games.

I like to think that I have legit autism so that I can blame myself sucking on poor motor control. Really though, I just feel worse because having autism sucks.

I suppose I could give it a try. But I'm not big on military shooters, and I'd have to buy a new computer to play that stuff.

I do want to play a game where people talk to each other, but if they are super serious about it, it wouldn't be any fun for me.

You might like Red Orchestra 2, it's got all the horrible things you'd expect, but with the mechanics of the guns you can do very well once you've learned how to use them at range.

You'll die a lot to shit you don't even see, but being sneaky about how you attack and where you go is incredibly rewarding. Plus the game doesn't have a huge playerbase, so there's a few servers with lots of chatter going on.

It might just be me though, the original Operation Flashpoint was one of my first PC games and I played the shit out of it, as a result I now can't hit for shit with hitscan weapons because I'm always accounting for drop and travel time.

Do people make an effort to talk to one another about stupid shit? Or do they just say stuff like "Rush B" or whatever every 5 minutes?

Ever played osu! or any other rhythm game? Bullethell shooters? Fighting games or driving games? I guess there are more examples but, in those, when the game is pushing you to your absolute limits, you simply stop doing anything else and just focus on the game. You don't even think anymore, you just do. It's amazing feeling. I usually get it while playing osu on insane maps.

Being good at something takes motivation. If you sit inside your home all day and do nothing you won't cultivate motivation to do anything.

Going out and getting a life, ironically, will help you get better at video games. You'll have a peer base to aspire to be amongst.

I used to be like this as a kid, then I went on a vidya hiatus for 2 years.
Afterwards I sucked balls at everything that had to do with precise inputs.
My mind is still as fast, I know what to do and can react to it mentally but my fingers are just too slow or flub the input.
At times I even push a completely different button.

However, after all this vidya I am above average in basically everything except for RTS but I am good at the strategic part of a game.
JRPGs became my favourite genre. Funnily enough I also try every fighter even though I drop most of the mafter the 40-hour mark except for Melee

I miss being in the zone when playing games. My little brother still has it and beats me at everything with fast inputs while I beat him at strategy. It's obvious we wreck everything is team based MP games

Impossibly poor motor control is not something that I have just "practice" away.

My hands are always shaking. I can't help it. Aiming well is impossible.

I actually have something similar and I managed to get pretty good in most shooters.

It takes me a fuckton of time with each one but I can eventually compensate for my shit aiming with good movement and predicting.

My hands shake as well.

I actually tremble like a massive fucktard when playing Mobas, I also get all cold to the point I have to wear a light jacket.

Mediocre gamer that can get good here, recently bought some normie ass games on psn since they were below 5 bucks each (AC 1 AC 2 AC brotherhood AC revelations) and the 1st 2 uncharted etc. I'm definitely bad at 3rd person shooters so far, or these niggers take 9mm bullets to the jaw and keep shooting at me (uncharted). i hope to become not shit because missing headshots left and right because you use analogs is the god damn worst.

>mediocre at videogames
>my best friend is usually worse than me so I can't complain to him
>he doesn't care because he doesn't get autistic with games like I do

I've been playing War Thunder the past few weeks and I'm still shit at it, can't dogfight to save my life.

I think the biggest problem is that I have little to no ability to plan ahead or anticipate moves. I can see an enemy plane heading towards me, but I can't see any path I can take that will lead me to get behind him and shoot him down. I also can't predict in any detail what he's going to do except the vague but accurate 'shoot me down'.
I can bomb things and strafe ground targets and that's it.

It's also why I'm utterly shit at strategy games, of all kinds, I can't plan ahead. I think I'm incapable of learning.

i like how all these uncharted gunmen are dressed in aloha hawaii shirts but take multiple shots to kill. Their jaws tank my attempted headshots sometimes. god damnit! all the gunmen just counter my cqc move the game wants me to do so badly too. these meme AAA games aren't all that bad tho at a 5 dollar or so price point. hopefully golden week drops psn prices to ground zero to grab more guilty pleasure trash games.

Don't agree completely but for the most part thats probably true. Sometimes you pick up on the important aspects in time and it bumps your skill way up. probably not so true for fightgames or whatever though.

You can become not shit, at max above average but never extremely good at game you play longer

You are average to above average at pretty much every game

You start off average and through hard work you can become godlike at certain games

my friends always wonder why I switch my loadout or class all the fucking time and won't stick to anything and even I didn't really know why for the longest time. But I've started to realize that as soon as I've felt like I'm comfortable with a certain set up, I fully understand it's capabilities and what I can do with it, I become bored with it.

I strive to attain the unattainable, I will never be happy.

I notice it a lot in games like world of tanks. I've seen guys with thousands of battles be absolute garbage because they've never even bothered to "get gud". Then I've seen guys with thousands of battles, and they have all of the skills you can possibly learn, every little trick, and react to obvious things correctly, but they're missing the innate talent that really makes them good. It all comes down to intuition and everything that stems from it like field sense or quick thinking, you either have it or you don't, it's not really teachable.

I'm a bit of a gregor. I'd rather just wreck shit and disappear as silently as I came, knowing that I am the greatest, and I need no ones praise.

The other half is that I wouldn't be happy. If I could "go pro" just by being very good at every game, and not pro level in a single game, that'd be it.

Shitters can still be great assets as long as they stop trying to pretend like they can take everyone on and just fucking support their team mates.

A good player can fill any role and rush in and wreck shit, but he can't do it single handedly. I have tons of shit friends I play with, I have them do shit that is useful, but otherwise doesn't require too much skill. Healing, driving, distraction, and just general support like recon, smoke grenades, flash bangs, whatever. A team of shitters working together is much better than a team of full lonewolves who are pretty good, I've seen it over and over.

Just find some one who is good and stick to them, even something like you getting shot in the ass long enough for him to turn around and kill the guy to save himself can make all difference.

Doesn't work that way chaps. Reactions dull with practice.

You guys play casual baby games all fucking day then wonder where your reaction times from childhood went.

you can learn skill, but it won't make you more than above average. That requires talent.

The skill/talent contrast is a fun one. I refuse to learn CSGO because I don't like it very much, but my friends always invite me to play. They're making all these crazy strats that I don't give a shit about, screaming calls and shit I have no idea what they are, I feel like a shitter because I have no idea what everyone is going on about half the time, yet I still hold my own because my reactions and intuition are top tier. Meanwhile, the guys making the calls and the strats get gunned down by people they know are right around the corner, just as often as I gun down the guy right around the corner that I had no idea was there before.
