Depending on your definition I'm not sure if I qualify as hardcore, but there are a lot of games I can admit to being bad at. Strategy, RTS, and as you say I don't have the patience for most stealth games. I don't even like short stealth-based sections in non-stealth games. However I do (mostly) like Assassin's Creed, but thats not really traditional stealth.

Same here, Windwaker the first level SPOILERS* after you leave your home island END SPOILERS* was annoying.
you're not superb at a certain genre? I'm not very good at stealth games, just don't have the patience required to be successful at it. I'll sneak around a bit, get caught and then try to shoot my way out of a situation which never works.
What do you suck at?

I have been gaming for a long time and still do it regularly, but I tend to suck as most games compared to other gamers :P
I really only excel at exploiting easy strategies in the game, which is why I love playing GTA games. Because of the free roam environemt, there is always some way to exploit the game to make every mission easy (park a car just outside the clear radius on a race mission, make a roadblock down the road on a chase mission, park a helicopter nearby on a follow mission, etc.......)

Stealth is soooo much fun though! Truth be told though, I tend to use the stealth to take out every enemy. I just love going through an entire level of Rainbow Six Vegas, killing everyone, but never alerting them to your presence. And in MGS, just stealth killing everyone and hiding their bodies.
Despite my love for a few select fighting games I am quite bad at the genre, I find it annoying to have to keep looking bad at the command list to pull of any decent moved but can't memorise them.
I'm not good at RTS - I'm good against the computer, but when I go online I get hammered.
I'm also crappy at most racing games because I don't like to slow down before I go into a corner haha. PGR4 is like the only exception from this.
And I suck at a lot of fighting games. I hate Dead or Alive and Virtua Fighter cos I'm crap at them, but last gen I was bloody amazing at Soul Calibur 2 (Nightmare was my character of choice) and Super Smash Bros Melee (Ganondorf FTW!!)
I suck at online RTS, im the guy who enjoys building huge bases with so much redundancy that a neclear strike would not affect it, however that is not the way to play agains treal players. metalisticpain
Yeah same problem here, i love RTS, but im a very slow player, most people are too fast for me, once i dig in though im pretty tough it just takes me a long time.
Im not very good at rhythem games, which is crazy, im a bass and guitar player, and have been for years, plus i dont like them, so its probably psychological, id rather just have a jam with friends than play guitar hero or rock band, seams like a completely pointless escapade to me.
I am absolutely dreadful at rythm games. I don't mean dreadful as in bad, I mean dreadful as in absolutely, flat-out, shockingly bad to the point that it is actually embarrassing. In recent weeks I have been practicing for hours at Rock Band with my brother, but it's all futile. I just simply lack the required reaction time and coordination, and my brain just can't get that "rythm" feel at all. It's actually so bad for me, that I directly refuse to play Rock Band, Guitar Hero, or anything remotely similiar, because I just drag the game down for anyone else.
I dunno what hardcore means but I can say that I'm not very good at RTS games. I like some: like Warhammer 40k, Warcraft 3 and so on but I'm not that good when it comes to online competition.
im not a fan of RTS's. Rome Total War wsa the biggest waste of $20 for me. i palyed for liek 5 hours and got soooo bored. but i did enjoy world in conflict demo.BTBAM127
Im not very good at games such a guitar hero.. Im just not good enough at seeing what too play.. when its fast I just cant see which notes belongs where.. lol.
Sports games that aren't Hockey or Mario Sport Games (Just because they aren't as boring as the actual sport) I'm also bad at Racing Sims (I don't know much about cars so I don't know how to set my car up to be good on certain tracks)
Racing Games. I was never any good at racing games. The only ones i can play decently are F-Zero, and Mario Kart. The rest of them? I spend more time on the side of the road than anything else.
TC I'm the same as you, but I wouldn't say it makes us bad at stealth games, I just don't see the fun in waiting around for ages, I can do it because I completed MGS3 and I like Sniper Elite which is pretty sneaky, but some games like Splinter Cell are just boring to me. I don't see the fun in standing around waiting for someone to follow the same pattern until he gets where I want him...
Same with RTS where you have to collect stuff and build factories to make grain to feed your troops and make armour shops and crap like that, I just don't have the patience or willpower to play for 2 hours basically doing nothing collecting supplies before I can even doo anything to progress.

I suppose you're correct, I just don't find them fun so I loose my patience easily with stealth games. I remember trying to play MGS on Playstation, and having that General screaming at me every five minutes. "SNAKE! SNAKE!" lol
I get my backside handed to me on regular occasion in online RTS's. That's my only weakpoint; and on some PC FPS's where I get dominated by people who play them 24/7 (CS:S, BF2 etc).
