What are your gaming weaknesses? - Sep 11, 2004 21:04
This isn' t regarding games you SUCK at, this is in regards to the types of games you love and are good at but maybe there' s an area that you feel you need a little work in?

For example, I' m a major fan of shoot em ups, I love almost all of the 2D shooters that I' ve played.

Anyways once in a while I find that I have a slightly harder time when getting shot at from behind. My confidence isn' t as strong as it is when getting attacked head on.

This doesn' t happen all the time though, there are times when the adrenaline is flowing and I have no problems with dodging bullets coming at me from the rear.

It' s kind of funny how I can successfully dodge screens filled with endless streams of enemy bullets coming at me head on, but when just a handful come at me from behind I kinda panic a little sometimes, LOL..



As for fighting games, I can play most of them well I' ve just never been able to perform any of those complex combos and juggles other players concentrate on doing so much. Partially is for a lack of trying on my part, lol.


Action / Platformers: I have always hated mazes! It' s no doubt my biggest weakness in gaming. I guess I have improved a lot over the years with mazes.
When I was a teen and was playing a kickazz game, whenever I' d get to a maze I' d just shut the game off in disgust. An example would be The Revenge of Shinobi. Was kickin azz all throughout the game until I got to that stinking maze. I made about a minute' s worth of effort and then just shut that sucker off.

Since I' ve gotten older I find that I' m improved in someways. I' ll actually figure out some of the mazes on my own without freaking out and will invest more time in the ones that I can' t figure out right away. Now if only I could figure out how to properly battle in turn-based battles I could get into RPGs in general!
