Games you suck at but still enjoy

Rhythm games and action puzzle games like puyopuyo. I did manage to beat Panel de Pon a couple of months ago but I'm definitely no master.
 
i am terrible at rts games but i grew up playing red alert 2 and it will never not be fun
also dayz, the good players are playing a hardcore arma 3 deathmatch all around me while im struggling to even stay alive against the fucking zeds and not get one tapped by some fucking sniper but its still so much fun

I'm terrible in Wuthering Waves because I don't know how to do rotations and combos. Same in Zenless Zone Zero.
 
I loved FPS games growing up but certain versions of DOOM (SNES port mainly) and Alien: Resurrection on PS1 give me near-instantaneous, violent fits of full-body motion sickness. Sweating, spasms, the whole 9 yards. It's weird because hardly anything else in life gives me motion sickness. But those specific games do. About 3 months before my mom bought us our first PC I rented DOOM on SNES from the local video store and went a few stores down to the corner store to get a Moon Pie and liter of Dr. Pepper, which was my weekend ritual for years to pair every Friday night with a game rental.

In the span of 15 minutes playing SNES DOOM I got so sick that I never touched another Moon Pie nor drank another drop of Dr. Pepper for as long as I lived, up until this very day.

Games I just physically suck at but still like: MTGO for sure, played MTG since I was a little little kid, loved the artwork and nostalgia, still play Legacy online but it's funny I have been playing all my life but am a really mid player lol. I have so much knowledge but my strategies are always completely mid tier. I suck giant amounts of ass at MOBA games but I enjoyed League when it came out. Umm..I love Sonic and plenty of 1990's fighting games but I'm not very good at those. Still play them once or twice a month, though. Not very good at most games anymore just because of how rarely I play video games these days.

CS2 and TF2

I don't care if I suck at the game as long as Im not turning into a sweaty troonhard like them.
 
Age of Empires 2. I only play the single player campaigns, and a lot of the maps that put time pressure on you are the ones I struggle with the most - goes against my playstyle of wanting to get as powerful as possible and taking my time.

I enjoy the idea of rts games but I will never ever ever touch the multiplayer because I am terrible.

Oh shit you just reminded me of my #1 Entry to this little category: Starcraft 1 on PC. One of my all-time favorite games. One of the best soundtracks ever laid down. Hours upon HOURS of fun as a kid playing Starcraft. But put me 1v1 against basically any human opponent and I fucking suuuuuuuuuuuck lmao. I can't micromanage or multitask for shit, I can't do small unit micro-movements during combat, I can't focus on multiple different sections of the map at once effectively, I can't do basically any of the skills that competitive RTS games require. I just wanna sit back and build my base/have skirmishes, but I also like competition so I am in a weird place with Starcraft. I can't compete even at the lowest levels just because of how bad my multitasking is.

The answer to my Starcraft conundrum was just to play Custom matches as a little kid over battle.net. Turret defense, EVOLVES, Helms Deep, you remember the kind. All those ingenious multiplayer maps that people made and uploaded that were like little minigames in themselves. So much fun at night in the late 90's playing Starcraft, having that beautiful Terran music going in the background...

RTS games sans the Westwood ones like Red Alert 2 and Dune 2000 since those are much more streamlined and have less resources to manage. I still enjoy Starcraft, Warcraft 2/3, AOE, Warlords Battlecry III, etc but Red Alert 2 will always be my go-to RTS since it's more something you can kind of turn your brain off and play while listening to a podcast.

Not all that great at games like Civ, Crusader Kings 2 etc but damn if they aren’t fun to play.
 
May not be the answer you're looking for, but for me it's chess.

I can't properly describe to you how badly I suck at chess. My mom loved it and taught me moves, strategies, tips, all that when I was like 8, and 20+ years later I've maybe won 10 games total out of several hundred.

I taught my girlfriend how to play and she beat me within a few games of learning it. I've looked up good strategies, tried to watch amateur to professional level games, NOTHING seems to work. I don't know where it goes wrong, but by the end I always have like two pawns in a shitty position, a trapped rook, my queen and bishops have long ago been taken, and my knights are crying somewhere in a corner.

It would be awesome though, if you hear someone go "That guys is really good at chess" there's an immediate sense that he's smart or at least strategic.

I enjoy the modern Hitman trilogy, but inevitably fuck up catastrophically and resort to murdering half the NPCS on a map to complete the mission objectives.
 
I'm opening myself up to ridicule here, but I suck at Dark Souls III, the only Fromsoft game I've ever played. Kai Cenat has nothing on me, except a shitload of melanin.
 
armored core 4 answer (i'm decent at it, but most of the player base have been playing it ever since 2008, and are on a whole 'nother level)

also i can build and fly airplanes SSTOs in KSP just fine, but landing without using airbrakes or drogue chutes... i always fuck up the landings
and no, using these is cheesing imo, i gotta git gud

Man, I felt that in my soul. I really love "Tactic"/SRPG games like Final Fantasy Tactics or XCOM, but Chess is a personal nightmare of mine.

For me, I keep getting Ls because I keep messing the endgame. I always take my opponent's pieces and put my bishops and knights in advantageous positions... and somehow, I make a stupid move and all of my army gets stolen.

Lies of P — Sekrio: Shadows Die Twice and Bloodborne are two of my favorite games. This one's combat is far more rigid though, hence it's trickier to me.

parrying in LOP is different than in sekiro

it counts the parry when u release the button, not when u press it
