It would appear I suck at video games

The games are fun and cool, but my gaming dexterity is dogshit. My friend came over last night and just stormed through mwf2 on a hard level. I'm getting my ass handed to me on the easiest level.

Modern warfare 2 seems to be harder, I remember that last one it felt like the match making was alot more accurate...by that I mean the game would match players of equal skill level and it felt like you had a chance against these guys.

I am fairly good at MW 1 and when I got MW2 I was getting my ass handed to me at 1st..much harder than the 1st.

You just think it's easy because your little yeller cousins made it and told you all of the secrets.

i agree about it hard to grow out of games.i just think that sometimes priorities make it a less appealing/or too time consuming option.

for a good while i didn't have any next gen game system (probably 3-4 years). the last system i had owned was a nintendo gamecube. the only games i would play were madden on ps2 against my friends.

then i bought a xbox 360 last year (and sold it a few months after due to $$ problems) .
didn't have anything till i got the ps3 again. Now that i have the ps3, i can easily get sucked in if i'm feeling lazy or stressed because these games are so engaging. So basically my love/addiction of games never changed, just my priorities in life shifted.

the thing that impresses me most about video games is unlike other entertainment (Music,tv, movies) the overall quality has gone up considerably recently. Sometimes when things change they often shy away from the core components that made things good to begin with. There seems to be alot more crappy movies overall(but certainly alot of good ones) and music, i'm not even going to get into. But gaming has completely envolved to the point where all your favorite things are still there but just with so much more to offer graphically, story wise etc.

I have a friend that has nearly a year of playing time logged. Not he's been playing the game off and on for a year, but a YEAR of actual playing. A year of his life, gone, for a game. Oh, but in his defense he's part of one of the top 3 guilds

I suppose no worse than a year of alcohol/drug abuse lol. And think of how much money he could get for his stats on eBay!

jnggr i'm in the same boat.
gonna buy a ps3 but i suck and generally hate video games.
pretty much just buying it for dvd aspect, proly a waste of money

You can use a bluetooth keyboard/mouse with it and surf EF, that right there should be worth the cost lol. It might even accept the ghetto usb connectors too. For real though if you have an HD TV it's good for watching movies with the womenz (or Bokas).

I bet a few people here could pwn me online, I'm pretty noobish in all that but it is pretty entertaining.

I was referring to click fest rts garbage like Command and Conquer. I grew up on turn based, like master of Orion and Heroes of Might and Magic, but the Hearts of Iron and the Medieval Total War series are real strategy games even though they have a "real time" element.

lol at you saying rts's aren't hardcore.

your right, the most competitive video game of all time, starcraft, is not hardcore at all. They dont play 10 hours a day to practice and make 6 figure salaries.
