Games you love, but suck at.

[Sirion]

Any racing simulator. I love the realism of Gran Turismo, Dirt 3, GRID and the likes, but on the first missed turn, I go from first position to last before I can recover and when I running again, all the other cars are too far away for me to have any hope of getting a decent rank.

Also, Total War-like RTSs. I don't suck at them as bad as in racing simulators (I get to win some battles now and then), but as soon as the battle starts, it doesn't take long for the chaos to settle in and then there are so many troops scattered around the map, fighting men left and right and I eventually get too confused to come up with strategies to win the game. Sometimes, it takes some minutes for me to notice that I have some few units remaining that stand still in the same place since the beginning of the match. But until then, so many soldiers had already died or fled that they aren't much of a difference.

I almost bought Shogun 2: Total War on Steam Sales, but remembering this (and lack of money) stopped me from doing it.
