MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I belong to these persons, who's terrible at most videogames and tbh I enjoy it, if I do stupid mistakes. Love to get to into RAGE-mode and to laugh about myself! Self-created entertainment is still the best entertainment for me while playing a vg.

euklyd Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 there's nothing funnier than fast falling to your doom all four stocks in Super Smash Bros. Melee after not touching it for a decade that being said it gets old pretty quickly for me, and being skilled has rewards of its own Overall, I prefer being good or at least competent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishi Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Pretty much the only reason I play Mario games, I'm just so bad. Put it this way if there is a pit I will fall in said pit 4-6 times. At the time I'm raging but later I laugh about the past. The best is with friends that are good at it. Lots of laughter going around.

Nym Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) In any games, when I make a mistaske or something bad happened to me, I try to always laugh instead of raging. Edited August 14, 2015 by Nym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrhesia Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'm hyper-competitive and need to win deep in my heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Ok, to specify, how bad I really was / still am: My mom owned me in Mario Kart 64 and Diddy Kong Racing (even beat this one) and my dad had to complete the Zelda games for the N64. I only was good at the 2D platformers (Mario, Kirby, DK...). Though I suck at 3D platformers as well. Currently I only can play round based strategy games like Fire Emblem and Advance Wars, puzzle games and economic simulations like Sim City. I'm trying to get into (S)RPGs as well. Whenever I stream sth. for other people, external shame guaranteed. Edited August 14, 2015 by Mister IceTeaPeach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Leu Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) I generally find my own failure always funny.. Especially if it's Dark Souls or SSBB. I don't find failing at a Zelda game or RPG very funny though, not dynamic, thus, less implication on your part.

Shin Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I enjoy being bad at games I don't mind being bad at. A bunch of brits playing Madden NFL is pretty amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Devil Trigger Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 being bad just makes your anything you actually accomplish all the sweeter or that's what i like to tell me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingddd Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) I usually want to at most be competent in the games I play. That being said, trying to become the greatest player ever in a single game imo is too much effort for little reward. Sure there are gaming tournaments nowadays with money on the line but usually the risk is too much and there are more losses than wins in the end.

JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I enjoyed being bad.... its inherently more enjoyable than being good simply because of knowing how much better you could get later on. Doing something you thought WAS impossible before is the most satisfying moments in playing video games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I suck a lot at 2D platformers not named Megaman, but I enjoy them anyways. Actually, I suck at 3D platformers too. I don't really like losing in other games though, but I don't like winning effortlessly either. Die a couple times at a hard part, that's fine, die a whole bunch at every part, not for me, unless it's a platformer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 I enjoy being bad at games I don't mind being bad at. A bunch of brits playing Madden NFL is pretty amusing. Strangely sports games inlcuding NFL were games I didn't suck so hard. I don't find failing at a Zelda game or RPG very funny though. It's not funny, but rather embarassing for me, if I can't solve the easiest puzzles. Actually I'm good at puzzles, but not in videogames for some strange reason. I suck a lot at 2D platformers not named Megaman, but I enjoy them anyways. Actually, I suck at 3D platformers too. I don't really like losing in other games though, but I don't like winning effortlessly either. Die a couple times at a hard part, that's fine, die a whole bunch at every part, not for me, unless it's a platformer. Sadly I never ever will try out a MegaMan game in my life, because this game has so many difficult passages, which requires excellent reaction time from you. And my reaction time isn't the best anymore because of my advanced age. The reason, why I can't play platformers well anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyFireMage Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Losing too much gets discouraging and frustrating after a while, but winning too often is boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
