[@SpookyBeatsMemphis]

For some reason I would really like to see a training montage where Rob shows you how to get better at MegaMan 😂

[@marcelo20xxxx]

I really loved the Mega Man franchise, beat all the NES classics, X1-X5 then X8 and both Legends 1 and 2 but the black sheep for me was the original Mega Man NES, that game never catch my attention, maybe it was it's slippery controls that did me..

[@WilderGuitar05]

I’d appreciate it myself, I love megaman but I suck at the game 🤣🤣🤣

[@marcelo20xxxx]

@@WilderGuitar05 The most accessible were, for NES: Megaman 4, SNES: X1-X2, PSX:X4, Legends 1-2 (the tank controls could take you a bit to master but the game themselves are not too difficult) the rest would need some skill, which by playing the games I mentioned would be easy...

[@johnnydaugherty11]

I love megaman and I’m pretty good at it. I approve of this video idea.

[@G_Rad_Ski]

The golden age of arcade fighting games was a beautiful time.

[@AbstractM0use]

Yes it was. My friends and I had a network going where I worked at a movie theater, a couple others worked at the arcade and another at a video store. I'd let them in to movies for free, they'd let us all come in the arcade after hours and put the games on free play, or just give us some tokens during open hours. We'd get videos reserved and rent-free. Awesome time, the 90's.

[@abcbcd7974]

I can still hear the hadokens

[@jaylucien669]

I was always good at Mortal Kombat but sucked at Street Fighter II. The only way I could compete with my friends was by cheesing E. Honda's rapid arm attack. Oh, "they loved," that lol.

[@crackazack510]

​@@AbstractM0use you just sent me down memory lane... thankyou! 😊

[@BlackBearNE]

I’m terrible at most games lol. But I love the art, the characters, the story etc. I actually enjoy watching others play more than playing myself for the most part.

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

Music is my #1 passion so I love a video game with good/catchy music, especially the Sonic Games, and Shenmue.

[@loganhayse8771]

Sometimes that's all you need. I prefer to play it just because I want it to be my story and experience rather than someone else's unless it's at a friend's place.

[@skeleton608]

I’m bad at every fighting game, but I wish I could be good. It’s just too much commitment and I don’t think I have the talent anyway

[@vicarius27]

Same here I'm bad at every game even if I played games from 4 years old. But I like to play them and enjoy doing it. Never was good at any.

[@jamesjiao]

Amen to that :). I usually play on easy (normal at best) if given the option to. To be honest, I just don't need the stress after a day's work.

[@CarlLepeltier]

Catherine, on PS3. I liked it a lot and advanced quite a bit in it, but nah I wasn't really good ; I tried a lot but nah ! Also, this adventure-RPG-dungeon crawler type of game named "Saga", on Amstrad CPC ; check this game because you might appreciate it ! It was very interesting but very tricky to go through the various obstacles early on... Fun fact (and it's not to brag but in order to explain something about the life experience of playing) videogames are a deep passion to me (like several other things in my life ; and like many of us here), and since I was super young (like 2 and a half years old) it's revealed to be a second nature and I've always understood the mechanics of all games and always have been able to be great at any game if the will/desire was there... You know, you're good from start but you excel after a lil while playing... But yeah, this Catherine it really didn't click with my usual abilities ! Whether I was taking it easy or seriously, the result was pretty much the same ! Hahaha ^^ It's always a bliss to fail, it puts things in perspective, therefore you relativize and appreciate everything more in life. *Btw, like you I'm a huge fan of the Street Fighter series and characters ; as same as you it's a great passion of mine over the years (one of my fav items is a red tank top with the original logo title in yellow on it) ; I wasn't great (even if lovin' it) but was fairly good up until Alpha 3 when I started to be a beast unbeatable anywhere I was going for years (then I started to transmit a lot of my drills to people I met in order to make them become tough to beat, until they did) ; was okay on Third Strike (did not play it much because it was a bit complicated to have it here, up until later years at the time of IV when it then became easy to access it) and was still pretty great again on IV and V... But I don't feel it with VI ; we'll see (none of my 5 mains is in it, but I'll try to master some of the newcomers) ! Again, not bragging but I've always been at ease with pinballs... I don't compete because it's only in the big cities here, and I don't wanna spend money just to go there and compete ^^ but on Pinball FX I have many (like, one third of the tables) scores that are in the Top 20-25 or top 50something, 2 in the Top10, and except from 2-3 tables I have everything in the top 200 at least.

[@karimcheese7257]

The Street Fighter thing really hit home for me. I love the series as far back as I can remember and I prided myself on being good at the games just based on the fact I used to play them a lot and also good against my friends locally. I never played SF3 and when I got to IV and played online multiplayer, it hurt to see how bad I was against people around the world. It was such a huge reality check and severely damaged my ego lol

It is ok Johnny. We were arcade kings once. Even if our kids would never believe it.

[@rockutron9000]

I beat Mega Man 1-10, but have never finished an X game. One of my great video game shames. I love SHMUP's like Gradius and R-Type but almost every game in the genre is impossible. Then there's something like Ikaruga, which is so hard you basically have to transcend the human form and become pure energy to beat it.

[@tokenblack7983]

The difficulty of R type is ungodly

[@brianf2293]

Ikaruga is a nightmare!

[@Mr_Fluffy_Pants_]

Lol dude ! I’m the same way with shmups. Love playing all of them but I dunno if I’ve ever finished any 😂 As for megaman I’d say x1 and x4 are probably easier then 1-9. Both amazing games too. Megaman 10 had an easy mode which made it a lot easier to finish then all the others

[@Mr_Fluffy_Pants_]

[@Mr_Fluffy_Pants_]

Always a great Sunday when you upload a video. I suck at first person shooters

[@Mr100Rupees]

Most of the time it's all about practice and if you really like the game and willing to put hours on it .

[@Cyclingismywholelife]

Agreed, but there is nothing like the feeling of being a natural at a game.

[@ArcanineGirl]

Honestly I suck at a lot of games but I still find joy in playing them. At the moment I'm replaying Final Fantasy 7 Remake and I'm having a hard time trying to beat the very last pull ups challenge at the gym in Wall Market. Lol I absolutely love the original ff7 and the remake as well. I haven't played intergrade yet so I'm really excited to play that after the main game.

[@arfanik9827]

I love Final Fantasy and I'm soon gonna try out the OG FF7 for the first time; has it aged well in ur opinion?

[@ArcanineGirl]

@@arfanik9827 The story, music and combat are great in my opinion but the graphics (even the pre rendered backgrounds) are hard to make out what's what. I did play my old PS1 copy. lol I also downloaded it on PS4 and the resolution is so much better. I want to play it again but on my PS4. Overall the OG FF7 is one of my favorite games. It's definitely in my top 5 personally.

[@jesseslack2089]

Jules is the final boss of FF7 Remake...he is From Software boss rage inducing...but it can be done cause it took me at least 35+ tries to beat him...but he was worth it for the Platinum Trophy!

[@DEVILTAZ35]

I can't stand final fantasy but i enjoyed the new Dead Space up to a point. It's a bit samey a bit too often.

[@danbooke2001]

For the pull up challenge, turn off the music, or listen to your own music. The in game music is not in sync and purposely done to get you to mess up your timing.

[@davidgill6933]

[@PixelGameSquad]

I friggin SUCK at Mario Kart games 😭

[@thurmanmerman1199]

i don’t usually comment but i feel like now would be a good time to , im 30 and been heavily into multiplayer games since i was 16-17 ( gears , cod , apex , fortnite etc. ) & to make a long story short i recently have been getting so bored and frustrated with it , every game feels like a rinse and repeat for me and just feels like i’m forcing myself to play when i don’t really want to , i used to find fun in it & was getting sad about not having as much fun as i did over the years & i would like to say thank you cause you and your videos reminded me that there is so much more to gaming then multiplayer games ( i just recently found your channel ) i’m looking into playing a lot more different things and idk i just felt like i should say thank you for that .

[@Silvergun_Raven]

I suck at the Theatrhythm series, but I'm still enjoying Final Bar Line on Expert. Seeing people get SSS on the highest difficulty just melts my brain as I can't multitask my fingers to different buttons like that, espcially when you have to use the arrows with the sticks🤣

[@TheDneaves]

Johnny finishes two games of a series that he's bad at. That's what I do when I'm good at a type of game. Should of played the RCT pinball

[@chrilz1498]

This was such a good idea for a topic, Johnny. Honestly I’ve always admired you for how many more years of gaming you have an experience with games than myself (I’m only 27) so it’s really good to remember that like any of us there are games you’re not great at. And honestly, I’m right there with you in all of these, especially the fighting games, haha

[@MoonOvIce]

I don't even like playing online so much with others either. I like playing alone haha. I'm in my early 30's so I was around when online gaming became popular, but I found most games just seemed like "arcade" as soon as you get to play with real people. Even more technical games. I found I only like playing easy games for laughs with people, I do "serious gaming" alone usually.

[@RPGreg2600]

Yeah, online multiplayer games have taken a terrible turn. I used to love games like battlefield 1942 and the original call of duty online, but the newer ones are way too fast paced, and I hate how you can level up your characters so there's not a level playing field like there was in the old days .

[@bradybrapples]

same here - i can't think of a single game i played online regularly outside of mario kart

[@chronicallychic]

I just hate the idea of playing with a bunch of random people. I have a few games I play with friends, but anytime someone I don't know wants to join a lobby or something, I get immediate anxiety 😅

[@RPGreg2600]

@@bradybrapples that's all I've played online recently too. Sometimes I go back and play battlefield 1942 online. Still fun.

[@RetroJ77]

I really, REALLY, tried to get into and enjoy the Pokemon series. Even though I'm a fan of turn based RPGs, I couldn't get into it. Just trying to catch every one of them and leveling them up was overwhelming.

[@pc2555]

All pokemon games right from gen 1 have all been huge games with a lot of content. If you aren't totally done with them maybe you could try one more and go in with a set plan which is how I play them and replay them I've played them all from gen 1 to gen 8 and replayed several dozens of times. I'd recommend trying still the combat in pokemon games if you get deep into it is surprisingly complex and in-depth even compared to most turn-based RPGs. Its complex enough that they have tournaments with pro players but also simple enough that you can beat the games only knowing 1/20th of the strategy. You pick a team of 6 and only raise them (or maybe up to 10 and swap out a few for variety). Then that limits the amount you focus on. Don't worry about getting all the bonus items, catching pokemon and content just playthrough to the end initially. Thats the basic formula for how I replay the games and it doesn't take nearly as much time maybe 20-30 hours per playthrough. Since I memorized the pokemon pretty much I actually look at them all on a website then pick a team of 6 before I even start playing to avoid wasting exp and time by ditching one or two of them because I forgot about one that show sup later in the game. Then they become insanely replayable; when you're bored 1-2 years later you can play the same game again and pick a different team of 6. Rinse and repeat it you can play the same few pokemon games for 20 years and still not use all the pokemon. You can complete the pokedex by catching all the pokemon if you want but its a huge grind and I only did it twice in pokemon red and silver. The pokedex just got too huge after gen 2 that i stopped bothering plus its impossible to complete because every game after gen 1 has pokemon that you cannot get without a special event.

[@mrNobody9999]

I've been having a rough time with games in general, lately. My schedule doesn't afford me a lot of time to play them, and when I do, I can't bring myself to care as much. What kills me the most is losing my edge in fighting games.

[@bradybrapples]

i'm slowly beginning to accept that new games will probably never catch me like the old games do, and even then, when i play those, i feel like i'm just chasing the shadow of how i used to feel about them. my only real saving grace is finding obscure titles from back then i've never heard of so they seem "fresh" to me, when i actually have time to play the only new releases i've been excited for and actually preordered are the yakuza games since the covid lockdown

[@drowningin]

Get a 3ds, Switch, or Steam Deck. If it wasn't for the Switch I would never get to play games. I haven't even turned on my gaming PC in nearly 2 years

[@jaylucien669]

Been there, brother. Sometimes life and getting older just get in the way. If you just can't bring yourself to care as much, then I wouldn't force it. There's a good chance that a special game will one day come along and re-Ingnite your fires. I didn't really game for the better part of ten years, then BOTW came out and BOOM, 400hrs later and I was full boar back into the hobby. Your BOTW could already be out there, or it hasn't even been made it yet. But I promise you, you'll know it when you find it.

[@tokenblack7983]

It’s part of life’s cycle. What we thought was fun seems like crap as we age…I’m in denial that I’m going to finish my backlog. Some games once in a while like the other commenter said about BOTW will charm you and you’ll have fun again. It just won’t be as often as when we were younger Games like Ori Inside etc seem to capture me more than huge triple AAA games however Last of Us was really good Just gotta find yours

[@jaylucien669]

@@tokenblack7983 Another thing too is work uses the same parts of the brain as gaming does. So, after 8 or so hours of work, the last thing our brains want to do is anymore major task mastering and problem solving. This is, of course, easier to pull off in our teens and twenties, but after that it gets a lot more tricky.

[@Midnight_Kamishibai]

Been playing games for years but I don't think I'm really particularly good at any of them 😂. I'm pretty much a playing to relax player, I like a medium challenge and a good story. I'm really bad at shmups but every once in a while I'll play one for more than five minutes and enjoy it Funny aside, when the first Mega Man collection came out on GameCube I decided I wanted to get through all of them. I managed to do it and it wasn't too brutal. Now when I go back and try again I lost whatever skill I gained then haha

[@cello3544]

For me, it's RPG's and the 3D Mario games. I ABSOLUTELY SUCK at both! I've tried soooo many times at recommendations for both, but I've just accepted the fact that I suck at both genres of games. I would like to offer you a suggestion for pinball, try Yoku's Island Express. It's a pinball metriodvania hybrid game that's super cool. Give it a try.

[@thepuppetmaster9284]

I’ve been playing video games for more than 30 years and i’m still suck at racing and RTS. But i’m still good at fighting games, actions, FPS, RPG, shmup, sports, and platformers.

The Witcher series for me. I've played about 20-30 hours of Witcher 3 and just couldn't get into any kind of groove or enjoyment, so I've uninstalled it and haven't played for a couple years. Those highly rated games are rough to sit on the sidelines while others enjoy.

[@zacharynestor3274]

I just started elden ring a week ago, and after about 15 hours of trying, I've come to the conclusion that I absolutely have to farm for runes. There's so many bosses and minibosses that exhaust your stamina gauge when dodging that it leaves no stamina to actually land an attack. So yah, time to spend the next 40 levels on getting my stamina bar to fill my entire screen.

[@alexk9295]

From your footage I can see why you're bad at pinball. You should (almost) never press both flippers at the same time. Try to keep the flippers down as most as possible. Learn to control the ball, like when it comes down keep the flipper down and let it bounce to the other flipper and then hold the ball with that flipper. Learn the shots from that position. The way you play in your footage is basically analogous to button mashing in a videogame.

[@mr.serious9538]

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Let me add that you should be shaking the hell out of that machine, John. If you see the ball going straight down the middle, don't be afraid to give the machine a pretty good smack. You're not gonna hurt it, and eventually you'll get a sense of when you should be "nudging" and what you can get away with. You might be surprised by how much high level players like Bowen Kerins are moving the machine around. Alex K nailed it though, those are the basics.

I can't wrap my head around how they do it in these highly detailed environments where it feels like everyone blends in. Seriously baffles me. Despite that though, my favorite shooter is probably the Titanfall games. Really fun games that even if you suck wholefuly at, they give you a few random grunts to shoot at to make you feel like you're better than you actually are, haha.

Like I always said, “Not everyone’s a master gamer” I can say I’m a master at games I’m familiar with; but for me to master it, I have to have a passion for it-a good hook if you will. I hate sports video games in general; now not to diss every single one of them; but I feel like the genre is if you played one, you played them all. The exceptions to this rule are the NeoGeo ones like Baseball Stars 2, Neo Turf Masters, and Windjammers. Neo Turf Mastersmasters and windjammers are simple to pick up and play, yet fun for me; however Baseball Stars 2 I suck at ROYALLY! It’s a crying shame because I love the soundtrack, I love the graphics... I SO want to get into this game it’s a shame I suck at it. I’ve even played Baseball Stars Professional; and I got schooled by a friend of mine on Christmas-because she played Mario Sluggers. The only baseball game that I’m good at is the one on Wii Sports. 😕

FFVII battle theme… 👀❤️

When it comes to puzzle games, I love me some Tetris, I love me some Dr Mario, I love me some Capcom Puzzle Fighter, I love me some Bejeweled, I love me some Meteos; but I suck absolute *_balls_* at Puyo Puyo (Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine or Kirby's Avalanche)!

[@AndrewAmbrose]

I highly recommend the PlayStation versions of the NES Mega Man games, known as the Rockman Complete Works games (or alternatively, Mega Man Anniversary Collection on the PS2, which contains ports of the Rockman Complete Works versions) Those versions have easy modes that make the game much more palatable for novice players (plus they've got kickass remixes for most of the stages in Navi Mode, especially Mega Man 5 and Mega Man 6)

[@RockBuster]

What I love about Megaman is everytime you give one a playthrough you get better and better. MM1 is surprisingly one of my all time favorites. Learning to beat Gutsman first and abusing the Magnet beam is so fun!

[@RockBuster]

@@AssociationAdmirer Heck yeah!! And each one is is it's own unique challenge full of little details! Exactly why Megaman is my favorite series to revisit time and time again!

[@connorstephens7467]

The new Pinball Fx on ps5 is incredible!!

[@RetroDeath]

I absolutely suck at Rhythm games, dancing, music, button prompts, I have no rhythm whatsoever. Final Fantasy Theathrythm Curtain Call on 3ds is the only one I'm semi decent at. But things like Space Channel 5, Dance Dance, Taiko etc... it's death.

[@esmooth919]

When talking about metroidvanias, I've played and beat Metroids 1, 3, 4, and 5, and I've played a few other metroidvanias here and there, but I'm having the hardest time with Hollow Knight! That game is very hard! I feel like I've gotten pretty far, but I've run into several difficulty walls that made me put the game down, because it's blocking my progression.

[@esmooth919]

Speaking of shooters, I like to think I'm a decent Splatoon player, but in Splatoon 2, ranked mode at least, I never got past rank S+2, and even got demoted a few times. I dislike call of duty. I actually like overwatch, but I suck at that game. With that being said, my main is D-Va. I even tried to play paladins, because it's similar to overwatch, but I'm not a fan of the freemium approach.

[@esmooth919]

I like Smash, but I'm not that good at it, compared to traditional fighting games like Street Fighter. I also don't care for Mega Man Zero, because it is incredibly hard. I only ever beat the second one out of a 4-game series. I played and beat the first eight classic Mega Man games, as well as 11. I beat Mega Man X1, 4, 5, and 8. I even beat the first Mega Man Legends, as well as ZX. But the Zero series? Eff right off.

[@humanice2]

I suck at most fps games because my aim is terrible, I was okay at Rainbow Six Siege due to my strategies, but that was before Ubisoft changed the maps. I suck at most 2D fighters, I really enjoy King of Fighters, Darkstalkers and Mortal Kombat, but I just suck at most of them, I can't get into Street Fighter at all, I am very bad at that game. Yet I am very skilled at both Soulcalibur and Tekken, I participate in competitions in my country in those, I used to be one of the best in Smash Bros Melee in my country until I stopped playing and lost practice, the sequels changed the gameplay mechanics too much that it's impossible to carry the Melee skills over to the sequels, and it's a damn shame.

[@JosephLombardi]

I'm the kind of gamer that sets everything to the easiest difficulty because I personally get very little out of struggling in a game these days. However, Dark Souls/Bloodbourne/Elden Ring are exceptions (not that you have a choice). I adore playing through those games and mentally I prepare myself for some incredibly frustrating moments. There's many times I rage quit out of Elden Ring but I give it some time and somehow I pick it back up and continue forward. It's like really good spicy food, you gotta go through the pain to get to the good part, and then expect more pain later...

[@shess412]

This resonated with me a lot. I find I’m bad at most games, but I’ll keep trying. I love shmups and fighters but man, I’m pretty awful at them. I keep coming back though. If I was more patient, I’d probably be a lot better, or just slightly less terrible.

[@videogameobsession]

Hey Johnny I've watched your pinball video and have diagnosed why you're bad at it. Never, NEVER press both flippers at the same! When you do that you are creating a much larger drain for the ball to go through. Pinball is easy to get into, but can be hard to master. I suggest watching some pinball tutorial skill shot videos on KZbin. I don't consider myself to be a master by any stretch, but I am good enough to make the game last s good amount of time, and feel. More in control of the ball than I used to be. Good luck! -Matt

[@KraigTheMan]

I like the Soulsborne series, including Elden Ring (which I thought was way harder than Dark Souls or Bloodborne). However, Sekiro is a game that I was terrible at. I literally couldn’t finish it because I was so bad at it lol.

[@DownFromTheDoorWhereItBegan]

I love the Happy Console Gamer show

An interesting conversation topic, to be sure, and even more interesting still when you mix disabilities and aging into the picture. It's worth considering: the split between failing to understand what needs to be done and having a body that fails to execute properly, but on to a good faith response! On the specific topic you ask, I still have no clue how pinball works and any game that requires the player to understand any kind of sport flies over my head unless it's a management game that prioritizes spreadsheets over the sport you're managing. And the pinnacle, the one type of game I just can't *ever* fully enjoy is player vs player experiences. Fighting games, racing games, shooters... if the only point is beating someone else I just don't understand how I could enjoy it (but absolutely understand people are often competitive and power to those that enjoy competition) All the way back to the beginning of my life I would rather cheer for someone at an arcade than be the person trying to win. Not all games are made for every person and, as you did, it's always important (and healthy) for everyone to learn what their preferred experiences are and what experiences are enjoyed by others, and the best recommendations come from when the overlap is well known.

[@esmooth919]

When it comes to old school arcade games, I always lose my last life in centipede before I can score at least 40,000 points. On the other hand, my personal best score in Ms Pac-Man is somewhere in the 230,000s (turbo version).

“For me, it was Tuesday” nice street fighter live action reference

[@VEN0M415]

I used to be really really good at halo 3 and reachs multuplayer, granted I still am when I went back to play on console before the servers shut down but going to the PC versions has a whole different feel as now M/Kb players have a good advantage vs us controller folk. The one thing that trips me the most is that hackers abound and you cant tell (in any MP game these days) who has cheats or how much is applied so as to be subtle. Not every hacker is floating in the sky or clearing entire teams instantly so we really never know.

[@lilliput_steps]

One game I suck at is Doom. I’ve put a lot of time into that series but each entry has been a struggle to complete on normal difficulty. Maybe some day I’ll clear one on “Hurt Me Plenty” mode!

[@GenXGamerYouTube]

Im not good at Mega Man, and the same for on line shooters. My grandkids kick my but at Fortnite. Same Storyline Gears of War storyline is great. Single player first and third person are my favorites as well as retro. SF 4 was my last. I prefer the older SF games.

[@tdotran]

I personally have been away from any Dark Soul type of games. I’m older now so my time is precious. I’m at the point in my life I’ll be happy when I see “Easy or Story” mode in games. Lol
