And the question I raised earlier is this - I'm slowly coming to the
conclusion that I'm really not very good at games, I never assumed I was
brilliant, but it has been plainly illustrated to me on numerous
occasions in the last few weeks just how painfully average I am,
particularly when I play online. I'm not sure how I feel about this,
tbh, but it's like a cosy little myth has been erased.
Have any of you experienced this? And if so, has it had an effect on
your enjoyment of gaming?
I'm hopeless when it comes to player vs player gaming online, but I've
never let it affect me mostly because there's little or no repercussions
from failure.
However when I start experiencing PvP action in EVE Online where there's
significantly more than a few minutes of resurrection sickness that
other MMORPGs tend to penalise the player with - failure may have more
of an affect on me :)
In cases of games like Mario Kart Wii, a lot of the time you're up
against random strangers that you may never meet again so I don't let
failure worry me and just enjoy it for what it is - a bit of harmless
fun.
My wife's the complete opposite and refuses to play online games because
she doesn't feel up to the challenge of competing against other people.
It was even a struggle to get her to play scrabulous against one of her
best friends.
