I'm jealous. Every time I try a game, I totally suck at it. Even the easy difficulty is not easy enough anymore. Nowadays, I only enjoy puzzle games if anything

- zardo 10y agoTotally sucking at something is the first step on the road to being pretty okay at something.
- theandrewbailey 10y agoThat's strange. Gamers have been complaining that games have been getting easier over time, to the point that 'normal' difficulty on many games (especially heavily marketed ones) is too easy.
- ryandrake 10y agoThere's the key: Gamers have been complaining, not normal people. When I used to be a gamer (meaning I didn't have anything else to do with my life than get better at games), I could literally spend hundreds of hours mastering a single game. When you're at that level, games seem easy. Now, I casually will pick up a game once every three months or so and play, and for some games unless it's the easiest difficulty level, I get my ass kicked. Online (vs. "gamers")? Forget it. I totally get the "difficulty inflation" that's happening.
- barrkel 10y agoI'm finding that games seem more like work than they used to. Hard isn't the right word; grinding, is more like it.
- dibujante 10y agoThe first time you tried anything, you probably were pretty bad at it, but with perseverance and engagement, I assume you've gotten pretty good at a lot of things. I used to be very bad at a lot of genres of game and have gotten much better through conscious effort.
- s_kilk 10y agoOn the topic of puzzle games, you might enjoy The Witness: http://the-witness.net http://the-witness.net
- scrollaway 10y agoThe Witness is possibly my favourite game of last year. A truly wonderful experience. Hugely recommended to anyone who likes puzzle games. (Also in that category: Portal, Portal 2 and Antichamber)
- robin__ 10y agoI have enjoyed it and can recommend it everyone else. It was an epic journey.
- r00fus 10y agoMaybe you haven't found the right game. Seems some people are just more talented at gaming - like others are at, e.g. dancing, and honestly I wish I was better at the latter than the former.
