games you have a natural ability at..
I was playing mario kart on the wii.. and I do pretty well at it most of the time..
same went for bomberman on the snes, vrally on the psx and tennis 2 on the dreamcast..
got me thinking .. anything game wise you just like playing but don't find overly challenging.

I can easily beat it on all but the highest difficulty level where it is clearly cheating (I can beat that too but not easily). Civ II and Civ Revolution are my personal faves from the series.
I am generally good at Mario Kart but I find that when I go back and re-visit old iterations I am nowhere near as good as I used to be. Especially on the GC Double Dash one.
i always loved playing medieval total war, and played it honestly, but with my back to the wall, i knew i could easily exploit the dumb moves the ai makes.
even online games is a case of learning the map and not having to think about what buttons to press.
Could murder just about everyone I fought quite easily, and could do the QTE's really easily as well. My best mate struggled something rotten with fighting Dou Nui near the end of Shenmue 2, I think in the end he got me to do the QTE's during that fight for him?
The Yakuza series on PS2 and PS3, Shenmue softened these games up for me as they play quite similarly to them, but with a simpler but much more intuitive combat system. I don't find these games particularly challenging to the point were I beat the Amon Mega Showdown on Yakuza 4 on my first attempt (Which really surprised me as Amon on Yakuza 1 was insanely difficult, and I don't think I got to fight him on 2 and 3 because some of the mini quests basically require you to have grown up in Japan to complete them :(). Anybody who's played Yakuza to the point where they've fought Amon has already destroyed the last boss with the greatest of ease before they even reach them, it's that obvious, if you can beat Amon you've won the game basically :lol:
Jet Set/Grind Radio on the Dreamcast, this is one game I'll never get bored of literally, I'm going to buy a DC sometime soon just so I can play this game again. I really miss this game I miss it loads, even after I finished to the game I did all the challenges and all the other random crap you don't need to do.
Streetfighter Alpha 2, dunno how I'd do against hardcore SF players now, but back when this was out for the Saturn I was pretty untouchable at it. Alhpa was too simplistic, and even though Alpha 3 killed it on sheer character roster and content alone it just didn't seem as perfect as SFA2.
I'd say Scarface on the PS2, I didn't struggle too much with it, and although it's not a Rockstar title it's the first ever sandbox game I've picked up, played, thoroughly enjoyed, AND got the 100% on my first playthrough. Shame I did I'd like to replay it one day, but since I maxed it out on the primo it seems a little pointless :(
Shaolin on the PS1 total under the radar game, and it's a shame it was, because it's great, and really would be awesome updated or even a sequel. I didn't struggle with it at all though completing it with all styles reasonably easily. I was replaying it a while ago on ePSXe since I can't play it on my US TV using a real PS1. It was never released in the US AFAIK anyway. But I do have an original disc, I love it that much I brought it with me when I moved here! :D
You may not believe me, but I'm actually quite good at the G n' G series. Ghosts n' Goblins is the only one I've struggled with, but I still made it to the end, and I reckon I used less than 40 credits, might not sound that impressive, but most use over 40 credits trying to do the second part of level 2 :p
Yeah there's loads of games I'm good at, or at least there used to be nowadays I don't spend enough time with a game to get really really good at it :D
I hadn't played vrally 2 on psx much, but used to play 3-4 player on it.. again found it easy to win all the time... arcade driving games I'm better at than things like toca etc where it's techincal.
Ooh isn't that the game where you have to haul a fridge around Ireland. :p :D
No it's the game I'd beat Def Chris at ;)
By the way...ello stranger :D
that guy was good in morris minor & the majors :-)
I completed Shenmue 1 quite easily, it's not Bruce Lee but it's not Navy Moves either... although I tended to get sidetracked with stuff like looking after the kitten and playing Out Run :D
Didn't get half as far in Shenmue 2, can't remember much about it, but my mate wanted his Dreamcast back by then.
Never owned a console, those two are the only non-Speccy games I've ever played...
ah, now I have an excuse to post the B-side to Stutter Rap (this could be the soundtrack to the crap game)
yeah you probably would, not played it in about 12 yrs.:-)
lol, never heard that
I daren't google for vids of proper "Billy Mitchell" types playing it though, as no doubt it would make my past glory look absolutely crap by comparison.
I've played it a few times recently in MAME and I'm quite rubbish at it now. I blame the control systems, but in truth I'm probably just slower and have much lower reaction times than I had when I was 13.
Greetings sir. :)
They turned the settings up a bit harder but I was still good at it then they took it away ;)
EDIT: So in summary, good at pressing buttons below windows when cheese appears in them.
EDIT2: But not so good at the cat/mouse distance metagame which I palmed off to my co-pilot.
EDIT3: I'm guessing they didn't realise the game would be a lot easier if 1 person handled the cheese tapping and another watched how close the cat got to you and hit the hammer button at appropriate times. This is why I studied mathematics at university, to beat the system.
That game and all those like it, make absolutely no sense to me ... get no joy from it, nor high scores. Not even sure if I have ever finished any of the levels/songs properly, even in training mode or whatever the entry level is called.
Yeah it's just a bit of fun, like, because it requires no time spent learning and your mates can all play it together straight away...
oh and I've played those musical games Frequency and Amplitude which were along the same lines as Guitar Hero/Rock Band IIRC.
So when I said Shenmue 1/2 were the only non-Speccy games I'd ever played, I was telling a big fat porky pie.
I've got Amplitude. Great little game! Used to spend ages "remixing" Herbie Hancock's Rockit. :-D
Well I've said it before but the drummer from my old band had never touched an instrument before then, and our guitarist was actually a drummer. That's probably why we were so sh*t :lol:
No bass at all, unless you count the brown ale song were a Rolf Harris Stylophone is used instead :D Like I said we were pretty sh*t :lol:
Figured you weren't telling the truth about console games either ;)
That's where Rock Band 3's Pro mode and instruments excel - you can learn to play guitar/bass/drums/keyboard.

Or Rocksmith, even. Great fun and also a very good learning tool to boot.
He actually made a film of the book. How did this pass me by? I must see it. :D
