How do you deal with being shit at games? I'm terrible, only games I can finish are casual storygames where failure isn't possible like sam and max or sly. Even SMB is too hard for me.

You keep playing until you git gud
Simple as that

Take it slow. Find ways of dealing with things yourself, don't spend too much time reading into shit on the internet.

But most of all, try to have fun, and remember that being good at video games doesn't transfer to anything in real life.

By becoming better at it. Players today are just so accustomed to "intuitive design" that it never occurs to them games could require a time investment so you get better at it.

>Being shit at SBM
Literally how?

You might just not like 2D platformers. It's not a very good genre if I'm being honest. Can only tolerate games that happen to have 2D platforming in them, not ones that are solely focused on it.

Don't be a porn addict.

>get randomly changes your weapon every ten seconds
WHAT?

That depends on the game. I just finished Super Metroid and there are plenty of issues with that game, stemming from both hardware limitations and design decisions, that I can't get around by becoming better at it. SM is a good example though, since I've tried to play it in the past and never got far. I've recently been playing a bunch of metroidvanias though and saw a chance to go back in with a different approach, which ended up working out. Some things you have to be able to work through, as it may very well come down to your expectations or skill, but others are down to the game itself. Zero Mission is a lot better because of the improved controls, for instance

I don't know why I'm posting in this thread I have the opposite of that problem I'm like the fucking chosen one when I concentrate.

Concentrate on my dick then

I get slowly get further and further until I lose all lives and start over, and by that time I already forgot the stuff in the beginning and when I start to grind it again I forget the later things and lose my lives again.

I know, but it bothers and saddens me to know that there's tons and tons of people who can enjoy games on a whole different level and can play anything, anytime, anywhere while I'm stuck with basically 5 games that I can play.

I know bro. Can't keep up with these little ADHD zoomers who have grown up with online multiplayer since they were toddlers. Sometimes I watch twitch streamers and imagine how much more fun they must be having being so good at the game and here I exist to just be cannon fodder for these type of people.

I'm not that bad but I never play on Nightmare either.

OG Marryo is an amazing game that's earned its status though. Just play a round or two one day and then again the next day or a few days later. You build it up over time. I like to go really hard at whatever arcade style game I'm playing and then cool off with something chill.

im pretty good at specific genres but i might be the worst stealth player of all time. I couldn't get past the first guard in thief. I got filtered at mgs3 at that bridge. Any game with a stealth segment in it I usually end up having to drop.

Extreme depression and anxiety since childhood. Except now I'm old and I'm shittier than ever. The casualisation of the average game is a godsend to me but I still want to kill myself.

FPBP, it's the damn truth. I finished Catherine fullbody recently and I sucked ass in the beginning. Through playing, learning the strategies and not giving up I finally got gud enough to be the most difficult challenge in the game, the axis mundi. Before that it was learning Yozora's patterns and buffing up my defense.

>learning the strategies
Here's my problem, I'm too NPC to learn any form of strategies or use prelearned stuff in my advance later on. Every single enemy is it's own thing, always. Even if just a minute ago I fought the same kind and won I could easily lose this time.

>5000+ hours in Overwatch
>Gold
>inb4 b-b-but you practice wrong because life is fair and anyone could be anything

Learn how to learn properly. I learned more in 10 hours post study of fighting games than I did in the 100 before.

Most people don't know how to learn.

i can't aim at all with a mouse anymore. i dunno what the fuck happened

Imagine if basketball players counted the hours they spent practicing basketball. They don't, because it's not about the amount of hours you spend doing something. You just play it until you're good.

Get a better mouse and mousepad, make sure your cord doesn't get tangled up or is restricted in some way, don't play fast-paced games after jerking it

>average people can do something in X time
>you spent 1000X time on it and still bad
>just do it more lol

>Overmeme
The vast majority of top-tier players are smart enough to play with and coordinate with teams. That's why you're still barely scraping Gold and average Silver. Playing with a consistent team is the only way to properly git gud at team-based games.

I'm 26 now, and my eyesight and reflexes are slowly decreasing. I need to sit closer to the screen, I need to use scopes for mid to long distance shooting, I need to play like 30 minutes minimum before I'm warmed up to play MW Search and Destroy. Literally 18 months ago, I could consistently hit the target with iron sight sniper rifles in BF1, now I need the biggest fuckoff scope to do the same.

How do I delay this, lads.

>play on easy
>look up strategies to make yourself overpowered
>cheats
>quick save/load
I refuse to play retro games unless I can use cheats and quick save/load constantly. I also avoid challenging games like the plague because I get angry with myself for the most minor fuck ups.

Nothing is really that hard unless you are willingly refusing to study it the same way everybody else has. If you're playing a fighting game and you're mysteriously failing to do inputs properly despite doing them hundreds of times, there's a point where you need to stop mashing, look up a guide to see what is wrong here, adjust your playstyle and behavior to accomodate new information, and see what's happening here.

You're also discounting that all of the epic "pro" players are invariably playing more than you are. Lots of people take 12+ hour daily grinds just to make sure they are at the top of their competitive communities.

Pathetic.

sounds like you already know how to deal with it
play easy games
play on easy modes
use guides/advice/strats where possible

There's plenty of people who haven't beaten Sly or struggle with adventure/puzzle games like Sam and Max. For most other games there's a lot of learning and trial and error and struggle before you get good. If by SMB you mean struggling with any and all levels then that's a little weird, but if you mean just beating the game then that's normal, some of the later levels are motherfuckers.

Have you tried turn based games?

Also I'd say you have good taste OP.

>Appreciate games with challenge that respect the player's ability to learn the systems and master them
>Fucking suck even when I learn them
I mean, I'm not hopeless but I have a hard cap. I died probably ~200 times or more playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma on the default difficulty. Last time I played DMC5 I simply could not beat M10 on DMD. Metal Slug 3 takes me like 40-50 credits to clear. I had to play Doom 2016 on Hurt Me Plenty (granted I'm on console and new to FPS; I played Doom/Doom II/Heretic on Ultra Violence on GZDoom). It's just how I am. I also love fighting games but spend half my time idly labbing worthless shit in Training Mode.
