Games you don't really like, but are great at?

What are some games you don't really like playing, however you are remarkably good at?


for me I would have to say CoD... its a game I will only usually play if someone I know asks me to, and while I don't really enjoy playing it, I am remarkably good at it (always score in the top 3 players per round)

None. If I don't like a game I won't play it, and nobody asks me to play anything so...

Some race games. I'm pretty damn good at Gran Turismo. But I don't quite like it.

I like all good games, maybe with exception of music and dance games, those can be easily done in real life, no need for machines. But I guess I would really svck at them so... :laugh:

Me too, it might have been due to the fact that it was so easy... It almost became a chore to play it with friends who eagerly wanted a challenge.

A lot of games out there don't interest me, and I'm not very social to begin with.. so I'm in the same position.

The only games I can think of that I don't really like but could be good at would be racing and shooting games, like those you would see in an arcade area.

If I don't like a game I simply won't play it, so I would have no chance of getting good at it.

I'm going to have to put the original PS1 Metal Gear Solid as a game I used to be good at it but no longer like, after playing the later games in the series the first game really has issues namely the controls are slippery, you have a large hit box (fighting the M1 I'd get knock down even though I was a few feet away, controls freeze up when in tight situation, limited hiding places and overall----this game didn't age well. I used to be able to play this game blindfolded but now---I can't even make it pass the Nuclear Storage Building (second area). Anyway I raged quit and uninstalled the game, MGS is a classic game but didn't age well as loose controls and limited options in the game really make this game frustrating.

Edit:

Another thing I didn't like where enemies homing in on you no matter where you where at making escaping tricky, again this game just didn't age well but it's still a classic.

I'm good at Call of Duty, but definitely not great. It is easy to pick up and play but once you find someone who is really good you can easily see the difference.

Halo. Never cared for the series, but I can pick it up and play it easily.

Fetch I don't know does math count? seriously.

I don't know I'm not terrible at shooters and there are some shooters out there that I don't care about.

I played my sisters barbie horse adventures game way way back, mainly to prove to her that it wasn't all that great (seriously it had like 30-45 minutes of gameplay with little to no replay value) I totally aced that [censored] though. Never played it since, I don't think anyone should like that game. It was pretty shazzy.

I did pretty good on the good ol' what's it called for the PS2, EyeToyPlay? I was a master at window cleaning, like for real talk.

Starcraft. Got roped into playing it when a few friends of mine started playing it. We all played on a team.

Got pretty highly ranked IIRC (gold or something I'm not sure) and I was pretty decent even on my own, but I never did like it that much. After they stopped playing it I uninstalled it without hesitation.

Street Fighter. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing, but mashing buttons and spamming the same two moves apparently works. Especially for Juri.

I'm good at Call of Duty... Though not a hard game to get good at honestly.

Actiony games like Bayonetta or DMC. It's not that I don't like them, I just prefer to play other stuff, but my wife is fond of them, and any time she gets stuck she calls me over, even if I haven't played the game before I can usually pick up the controller and blaze through whatever it is she's stuck on.

MTG. But I know how cards work together from playing other card games.

Fighting, sports and FPS games.

I can pick up any of these new and be decent within a few games. Gimme a day and I will be placing near the top.

Not strategy games though. I can get decent quick but take forever to get really good at em.

I really only play the games I like and don't put enough time into the ones I don't to know whether I'm good at it or not.

When it comes to games like fighters with difficult button combinations, I'm terrible at. I sometimes enjoy them but aren't too great at it. Backwards from the topic, I know.
