What are the games (or genre of games) you are horrible at? For me it's been pretty much all strategy games (RTS and Turn Based) I've ever played (C&C series, all the "-craft" games, Age of Empires series, Civilization Series, Heroes of M&M Series), all flight combat games (StarLancer, X-Wing Series), Mafia (But I can do Max Payne), any spy/FPS game (Deus Ex, No One Lives Forever), The Jedi Knight Series and Quake 3 (Always been better at UT and Soldier of Fortune). Operation Flashpoint. And every Tom Clancy Game there is. There are probably a whole lot more I can't remember at the moment as well.

Thankfully I've never actually burnt any money on the above games due to a wonderful thing called "demos".

. I'm serious. I actually don't own any of the games listed above

I'm horrible at:
The Sims (I'm too sadistic)
Half-Life (although, I'm a decent FPS person)
Diablo 2 (too concentrated on killing the monster, rather then drink the potion)
Warcraft 3 (got too used to the tank rush routine in C&C, I suppose. I'm just not one for micromanaging battles any more)

Baulders Gate 2.

My lack of patience keeps me playing ms. pacman emulators. Oh yeah Pools of radience too...

Strategy games. I try to micromanage to much, whilst my opponents send massive hordes at me

BG2.....I keep telling people to shut up, I forget to use the magic, and I try to kill everything with swords...even when a character isn't supposed to use swords

.....Love Enclave though..Hack and Slash deluxe

Morrowind is by far, still my favorite though

FPS...I am absolutly hopeless in those types of games. And any basketball game known to man....I suck at. Even if I get an all-star team...I just can't win

Oooh yeah I forgot I have been playing counterstrike and Ghost Recon a lot. Man I am horrible its basically a depressing moment whenever I boot up either game.

Also I am a bad ass at Madden 2003 on PS2 its just my team is horrible. Its hard to beat people online when its Redskins vs. Raiders.... I try my hardest though.

Madden 2003...aweseome game. I win with the skins, but only because Arrington is unstoppable in certain plays

Any game that requires a lot of micromanagement and in the case of CRPG:s, detailed character building even before the game starts, and a lot of background story. I never got out of the first scene in Morrowind, for instance...

I also totally suck at any simulation games, I suppose it is the micromanagement that strikes again.

Age of Mythology brought me down. I dunno - you're supposed to progress to some new age within like four minutes of game start, and at first I was taking more like fifteen!

I got better, and could manage to hold off the hordes for a time, but never seemed to get ahead ... my Viking civilization always fell in the end.

@Scayde: I see that encouraging you to make your Player Character a Fighter in Baldur's Gate 2 was a wise choice on my part, sweetheart. After watching you play Morrowind and Enclave, I figured you would enjoy splitting skulls in Athkatla.

P.S. - Btw, you are doing quite well with BG2. At least I think you are.

If its neccessary that you are very quick then I probably suck at it.

I wish I knew that before I showed my age with that reference

Bad at a.... Game?

I don't think thats possible for me. Every game I've ever played/owned, I've caught onto in a matter of minutes, and procede to become one of the top contenders of said game. Hell, I've taken out 3:1 odds in Warcraft three, using the humans when they were still the weakest race.

The Sims. Never had the patience for it, and there's nothing to kill

Unless killing your sim is the idea

As I said in my post.....the families just can't seem to last when I control them.

I am terrible at any type of racing game. Any game where you drive or manuver some sort of vehicle I just suck. Terrible at car racing games, snowboarding games, wave runner and everything like it.
