It would have to be bloodborne. I really enjoy the style and atmosphere of the world but I'm just not into souls games. So I play a little bit every once in a while and explore and then move on to a new game after I get tired of dying too many times.

Curious Expedition. Still haven't completed a full campaign yet.

League of Legends

Been playing since Beta but never got beyond platin. One of those games where playing is not enough and you`d have to practice to succeed which is not my understanding of "fun", so I don`t.

Huh? While I‘m obviously not the case for everyone but got to Diamond within like 9 months of playing League. Just 2 months of actual serious ranked. Took less than 150 ranked games. While I don’t deny the use of practice, I jumped that quick because of in game knowledge. I actually read and understood most if not all champion skills, their cooldowns, passives along with item effects, power spikes and minion control. Half the time with League was not actually spent playing it. It was theorizing with my friends and doing imaginary matchups.

Most games, really. That’s cool though, I’m old so it’s about fun for me

 

[Mortisfacio]

I still hop on Starcraft 2 every few months either to play custom maps, co-op or versus. I'm terrible. I got plat and close to diamond with the initial release, but ever since Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void launched I'm a forever silver/gold player. Still love the hell out of it, though. I wish the RTS genre wasn't effectively dead. Hoping Stormgate is fun.

Generally fighting games, most of the time I have a 50/50 winning rate but for the fact that I have been playing fighting games since the mid 90s those numbers are pathatic, I still love it.

Various shmups on Saturn. It's an audio/visual feast for the senses and while I do get better the more I play, I still blow when it comes to maximizing my score, etc.

Read my post again. You're literally doing the opposite of me and I honestly don't get what you're trying to express with your reply at all...

 

[PanzerCute]

Oh also SRPG's. I love stuff like Fire Emblem, FF Tactics and Triangle Strategy but I'm not very good at them

I generally play games in hard mode, but most SRPG's are just too much for me in anything above normal.

I am the same. Give me the most hardcore turn based JRPG I won't have any real issue even playing on the hardest difficulty, but damn I am terrible at tactical RPGs.

I could not finish Tactics Ogre reborn, for instance, I was getting wrecked and couldnt make any progress after 50 hours. Amazing game, but I just suck too much haha

I didn’t practice.
Not to mention, there wasn’t even a practice tool then compared to modern league. I do get your point though. I must have skipped over playing is not enough and went straight to the practice part and assumed that you implied just practice is needed to succeed. Which is weird if you’ve been playing from the beta since that’s a lot of time spent. Apologies if I misunderstood you.

Rocket League club. Started playing release day. Over 10,000 matches played. The highest rank I've ever been was Diamond II in doubles. Right now I'm Plat 1 (threes) and Plat 3 (Doubles). I don't play Singles because my rage gets too strong.

Substitute "practice" with "spend any time with the game outside of just jumping into a match from time to time" and maybe it becomes clearer.
I've never read any patchnotes have no idea about meta and literally don't know the skills of half the newer champs, at least not in detail.
You've probably spent more time reading up on laning tactics alone in those 9 months of yours than I've spent playing in the last 3 years.
Compared to me you are a hardcore nerd

Don’t worry. I completely understand you. It’s the same reason I rarely play anymore. I used to always be updated on patches and devoured the slightest of changes. Life got in the way and the lack of friends playing it dampened my motivation to continue that way of playing. I guess it’s why I’m not a big fan of live service games anymore. All my time spent analyzing and mastering those things are now down the drain due to the constant updates.

Street fighter 6
Literally the exact opposite of how I am in sf2 super turbo.
But it's fun so it's fine. Weirdly enough, losing in Sf6 doesn't make me salty at all.

Same here. I love fighting games and I have quite a few, but I only play single player or against friends. Whenever I venture into online fights against randoms, I get my shit pushed in. I don't have the interest in playing a training mode for 300 hours just to get to adequate.

Dirt Rally 2.0 - frequently limp home in last or close to last with a smashed up car about ready to throw up.

Life.

 

[UnravelKatharsis]

Sea of thieves. Been playing it for years and still suck at pvp. All aspects of it.

 

[SammyNerve]

Do we really have to pick just one game? How 'bout all of them?

The Binding of Isaac...I don't think I truly suck at it but 1317 hours and only 83% completion makes me question why I pick up the controller.

I should have done that when I was 16, too fucking late for that
