Is there a complex game out there that you think youll never get good at?

Well, i've bought my 2nd 2d fighting game. The first was MK1 and the second is MK9. Obviously a lot has happen to the genre in that time. Well, even though the reviews say that MK9 combat has been scaled back, trying to pull off strings/juggles/wall combos seems like a thing that requires a heck of a lot of practice and time. There is a lot of precision involved and timing involved. More so than i first imagined.

With that said, i feel like i'll never get great at this game, MK9. I dont know if things will change when i get a controller that has a better D pad for the 360. So, what games do you guys feel the same way about?

Tekken 6. It may not be complex to some, but for some reason I just can't get the hang of chaining together combos that well.

I've put countless hours into it, but Quake 3/Live.

I could never get into Europa Universalis III. That game is hella complex.Allicrombie

Pretty much anything that isn't a FPS or RPG is unknown territory for me sadly.

I suck at RTS and Fighting games in particular, Bayonetta, Blazblue, Starcraft and Total War :P

Dwarf Fortress.

I was never good at strategy games like Starcraft or Warcraft. Just never was my forte!

Dwarf Fortress. AI War: Fleet Command. "I'm just going to set up some econ- OMFG DUDES EVERYWHERE! OH GOD THE SLAUGHTER! ARGH! Well, GG I guess."

Dwarf Fortress.

TJORLY

Any fighting game out there.

And Resonance of Fate. My brain failed to comprehend that game's combat engine so bad, I had to trade it in towards something else. I wanted to learn it, I wanted to like it, but the game beat me to a pulp. I :cry:'d

any of the Fighting games like Tekken, SF, DoA, SoulCalibur etc.

i'm just a little buttonmasher :P

mmmwksil

Devil May Cry 3 and 4.

Street Fighter 4 - combos for that game are crazy hard... for me atleast

Any Street Fighter and any RTS. Well, most fighting games, but especially Street Fighter. You'd have to pay me to play a fighting game online. I'm that bad.

Tom Clancy's Endwar. Hated it and sold it back to GameStop for $5 because I couldn't stand to have it in my collection. Mo-licious

I'm glad im not the only one bad at fighting games here :P. I've got BlazBlue: Continuum Shift which im totally crap at but i wanna be good at it 'cos it looks awsome :D.

The Total War games.

The Silent Hunter series. Plotting accurate torpedo attacks and attacking convoys is extremely difficult and time-consuming on realistic settings. And don't even get me started on plotting an attack solution while submerged using only sonar. Even watching YT videos I still was lost.

DCS Blackshark is another one that's so complex I can never see myself getting good at it. It's hard enough to start up the heli and get off the ground, much less go around blowing up targets.

I could never get into Europa Universalis III. That game is hella complex.Allicrombie

This ^^ It looks interessting and I love that Switzerland is playable, but up to this point I just didn't have the time to invest to learn everything about it, it is extremly complex.

@Tc: I disagreee that any fighter is complex, all you need is practise to pull of the combos and well... remember the combos. IMO complex are games you have a lot to manage / a lot of different things to do like, well, Europa Universalis 3, Sword of the Satrs, Disgaea, stuff like that

Super meatboy. Stuck at lv 5... for 4 month

Touhou, requires to much training muscle memory and reflexes for me to get good at it.

Lulz your statement shows you know nothing. All you are doing in a fighting game is managing options. What can they do vs what you can do at all the times. Your frame data vs there frame data.

warcraft 3's azeroth wars gametype and pretty much every rts game known to man

World of Warcraft for me. My friends who play it keep or used to want me to play it with them. I think WOW is or looks boring as hell to begin with I got the trial and I tried to enjoy it but I couldn't . I can't see how people can get addicitced to that game. The Old Republic on the other hand looks alot more fun and I love the KORTOR seriesrpDrummer2012

i can understand to that especially since wow demands perfection in every aspect but the game most definately isn't bad, you obviously havn't played it long enough to experience the fun parts, problem with wow is that it's more focused on endgame content.

Any kind of fighting game, like Street Fighter or Marvel Vs Capcom. All I do is randomly smash buttons and hope I pull off a combo :P.Steakumms

If you know what you're doing wrong, why not try and fix it?

Any of the Gran Turismos

People always talk about Demon Souls as the hardest RPG this gen, I would disagree and say Resonance of Fate is.

That game is actually FUN and i still cant beat it, the battle system is very unique and very difficult to master.

Ravirr

Well I disagree, all you need to do is make fast decissions and react fast. Not saying it's easy, but it's far from a complex system

It has a steep learning curve but it's far from being complex. First of all forget about grenades, just level them if you need the overall levels. In an actual fight just use 2 hero runs which cross the lines of the other characters and place them as far from each other as possible using MPs. Third use the attack for all three (forgot how it was called), change a lot of scratch to real damage with the third character and scratch the others even more. You can do that on literally every fight and plat the game that way

I never seem to be very good at RTS games. I think I either don't have the patience for them, or I'm terrible at strategy

Virtua Fighter

Probably Demon Soul's and MvC games.
