I’m shit at modern video games

I don’t like to be stressed out when playing but most of
the modern games stress me out. It took me two hours to pass
a small level in battlefront 2. Only the fact I was flying a
Tie fighter kept me going.

Do you still play? Are you good at these shooter games?

i used to be alright at bullet hell shooters and retro-style
platformers on the pc but i've been without for nigh on 3
years now. reflexes will be blunted. haven't played a
console since ps1 days, apart from a few goes on call of
duty at my mam and stepdad's house. i was shit at it,
legitimately awful

Certain genres I am utterly shite at, like fighters, still
play them for fun though.

I think I'm becoming less interested in drawn out story or
goal orientated games and gravitating back towards arcadey
stuff where you just play until you get a score. I bought
Prey, Nioh anf Fallout 4 but couldn't get in to any of them
but am happy just sticking on gran turismo or tekken and
enjoying losing/winning.

Offline = "you win" sound effect. Online = "you lose" sound
effect.

Not anymore. There was something about killing innocent
children on XBL without some shit kid talking about how
cringy things are and repeating memes. Or like when you'd
plug in your mic and said hey
some dude was always there to be like sup bro. Now it's
just like, who are you, what a loser.

Indeksical, me exactly
I ordered a shady snes 101 in 1 cart from ebay and it's
actually great.

Yes and I feel the space battles are actually what’s best
about the game. Can’t wait to pilot the falcon!

As truly lame as it brag about this, I used to be really
good at online shooters. I had really fast reaction time and
once I knew the maps, I was consistently #1 (or near it)
score in every server.

Fast forward 10 years, and I am utterly, irredeemably, shit.
I don't have the reflexes I used to (at all), and I don't
have the time or patience to practice the hours a day
required to have a chance. I tried to give it a serious go
on Battlefield One, and I got so mercilessly demolished that
after a few weeks, I realized it was time to throw in the
towel for life.

I do, and have always, liked RPGs the best. I play those and
platformers now. And shooters, but only offline.

Brutal Doom is amazing.
