      Ah yup. I’m pretty good at the single player games that I play, but whenever my buddies want to do any kind of matchmaking, it’s some of the best fun I have being absolutely awful at something. Consistently at the bottom of the squad and loving it, baby

      no shame in switching to easy. I personally don’t have the time to “git good” but I do enjoy me a good story

        Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is where I caved and set it on easy. Don’t got all day to memorize a bajillion attack patterns down to the tenth of a second but shieet… that story is a banger.

    Leaving good comments that aren’t polarizing and don’t hurt sensitive feelings since my take on something doesn’t match your take.

      Same. I don’t like playing RTS games the good way. I just like building a cozy little camp and defending it, slowly exploring the map and just building whatever units I feel like building. I enjoy games like Age of Empires and Beyond All Reason because the maps tend to be quite large and random. It usually takes a while before I get overwhelmed if I’m losing I those games, and if I’m winning I can spend a lot of time just messing around without the game being over.

      Games like Starcraft or Warcraft seem to be built too much for quick games where you have to be constantly moving. Expansion locations are very determined and scarce and resources run out way too fast to just turtle in my little corner.

        +1 for Beyond All Reason :)

        So far I’ve only played against the simple AI bots and some easy barbarians; mostly I team up with my kids and we just try out different ways to mess around. Fun times.

          Yeah I also tend to play against the bots. Me and my friends have hundreds of hours against the AI at this point. Nowadays we tend to play against the Hard Barbarian AI. We usually win, but the AI can be very variable and sometimes it just turns on and destroys us. If we manage to expand aggressively in the early game, manage to contest roughly half the map (or have a good choke point), we can survive the early onslaught and out-eco the AI in the late game. Which is the most fun way of winning imo. Chill behind defences and slowly get the upper hand until we waltz over the AI with experimental units. We did ban ourselves from “cheesy” tactics like nuking the AI, target bombing their economy, or aggressively targeting our long range artillery at their economy. The AI just doesn’t seem to sufficiently defend against these and it quickly ends the game in a lame way. Unless we’re losing hard, then everything is permitted.

    I sorta feel everything. I feel like im not very good at doing things in general. Planning and thinking yeah. Like in video games my characters are better from the build than my game play. Even then though I do weird builds that do interesting things but are not necessarily optimal.

    Vidya games!

    Specifically, any games requiring “twitch” reflexes. I love ‘em, but I do not have the genetic material to master them.

      I was the opposite, hated games that required patience, now I’m like you, I used to full focus play games, now I multitask and watch tv, wonder if that changed it
