I'm bad at 1st person shooter games

I have come to the realization that I'm just not good at these games and I should avoid them. It hurts me to have to make this confession but it is what it is. I was a beast at Pitfall as a kid but now I'm just a bad gamer. God Bless all of you that continue the fight!!

That's because it sounds like you're old. I'm almost 33 and I have gotten generally worse at games.. but I've grown up playing FPS and I still feel I can hold my own a lot of the time. Doesn't mean I'm going to climb the ranks to the top in the games I do play, but I play above average. Don't even touched ranked modes of most of the games I play, for instance R6 Siege. I dabble in Competitive Overwatch but it's toxic as hell. If I ever play CS:GO I only do Competitive.

I'm with you. This is why I don't play online.

Just be better at them, Broke.

Im 54, and I suck too. But I have found Destiny is a fun game. I just don't play against other people.

I'm bad too.
But I still like playing them. They're great to take breaks from games like Witcher 3 or Dark Souls.
Sometimes I'll play Halo for hours, and get last place in everything.

I'm VERY hot/cold in FPS games.
I'll go on a tear where it seems I'm slaughtering everyone and everything, even carrying a team.
Then I'll go on a stretch where I'm praying I'm not losing the match for everyone else. I don't seem to have a middle ground, just the two extremes.

I'm definitely not great at all, but I can hold my own. But sometimes man...some lobbies...I have no idea where I am and I feel lost. Like Uncle Reemis with Alzheimer's getting out of the home and wandering the streets lost...

I've always been absolutely terrible at multiplayer FPS games, despite being decent at gaming in general.
The people who play FPS games competitively take that shite very seriously. I never liked FPS games enough to try hard them.
Just try to play with people who also suck, which is actually most people.

the games have changed...COD is a great example. totally different market they are catering to. fast paced, close quarters, crazy kill streaks is the current flavor. occasionally i will feel like my old self but its more infrequent year by year. had a 28-4 on cold war the other day 95% sniping and it felt like the old days. even my 12 year old was watching and was like "where are these sniping skills coming from?" all i could do was laugh.

I'm getting up there in age and dont play as much as I used to but as far as FPS go I've found that actually playing on a smaller screen going from 55"-43", sitting a bit closer and with headphones helps me out a lot with staying competitive online.

There was a time when I was in the top 25 of all Day of Defeat players in the world.
Those days are long gone

I can do ok in third person games like Gears of War or RDR. Never got into playing online too much though.

my man, it does not matter if you suck. it's gaming my sir, a form of entertainment.
Play have fun, frick any that would lead you differently.
We only got so much time in this bastard.

I'd love to play online against players of comparable skill level, but it's always either complete newbies or people who play that one game for 12 hours a day every day.

I've played Team Fortress for like 15 years and have only gotten worse.

It is probably because you don't have time to sit around all day to learn every damn map back to front.

This is why I stick with the campaign on shooter games. Back in the day I was pretty descent on Socom, but that was way before I had kids and a full time job. Way more time to play and get better back then.
My son likes to play fortnite and COD online and I know and he knows he can own me on shooters, but in return I can still make him cry with the sticks on Madden or any sports game.
