To a point, been playing mario kart games since the snes and have had multiple occasions were my friends stopped playing it if I was involved as they are just playing for second place. couple of months after I started a job and someone organised a mario kart Wii tournament over the internet. Much trash talking was had by all but me (just never been into it) leading up to that evening, an hour before the end of the shift one of them PM'd me as they realised I hadn't been taking part in the trash talking and asked me if I was being quiet because I knew I was good...well we only did it once and I came first every race by a wide margin. I say we only did it once, would not be surprised if they just kept it from me. Even in on a 12 player online race I will finish first most of the time and exceptionally rarely outside the top 3. For mario kart 3ds I found out that there had been a competition in a local shopping centre and the winning time for it was 10 seconds slower than my time trial PB. If I had known I could of got an easy 3ds and copy of mario kart. Bringing it back to the video, I then watch speed runners on any mk game and it just leaves me in the dust, that difference between the top 5% and top 1% is just crazy.
Any FPS multiplayer game like Call of Duty, Doom or Battlefield. I can kick some enemy butt in the single player campaign mode and feel like a god but go onto multiplayer and I'm lucky if I even end a game with a positive K/D ratio
Come on Rob, you're easily the best Crash Team Racer in the world who uses the whole track, the speed runner cuts out parts of the track, so you're still on top. Enough said hahah
a phd to finish? hmmm senran kagura, peach beach splash should be one of them then probably megadimension neptunia with the vr mode too oh wait, have i got the wrong meaning for phd? *wwhistling innocently* *quickly and quietly leaves*
You could *do* a PhD on Valkyria Chronicles: A JRPG set in fantasy WW2 wherein the player liberates Europe with anime characters. The creators are Japanese, the protagonists are pan-European, their weapons are based on real weapons, the enemies are clearly coded 'Nazi', and the story manages to tip-toe around some "war crime" issues associated with that conflict. It's a cultural humanities goldmine!
I bet the more advanced RTSs like Starcraft or Civilization series’ top the PhD list. Always have to know how to plan everything strategically just to stay one step ahead of the enemy AI - and don’t even try playing online until you’ve mastered the main game! Lol. Any of the old school RPGs would make the ‘Nerdy’ list, like Baldur’s Gate or the original Fallout trilogy.
Guitar Hero. Thought I was pretty good considering I could get through like 95% of the game's songs on Expert. I was definitely the best at it out of all the people I know irl, but then I go online and see people getting 100% on Through the Fire and Flames at like 150% speed.
I thought I was hot stuff using Kirby in Smash Bros Brawl. I dominated other players at a tourney until someone steamrolled me with Yoshi. I still have nightmares about cute Yoshi noises.
One fight I will never forget: Every time I swung, he parried, curtsied, and threw a poison dagger. After a point, I just spammed curtsy and waited for the poison to kill me.
You can be excellent at bloodborne and not be good at PvP. Lots of PvP players are extremely well min/maxed and make builds specially to troll people. PvP and pve are basically 2 different games.
@@juanpequeno1224 I tried playing pvp once didn't end well lol. Lots of them have really good blood gem things for more damage and stuff even if they are low level. so kind of unbalanced for normal people just for abit of fun.
@@juanpequeno1224 in Bloodborne specifically you need to be really good at PvE to be a god in PvP. since you need to clear the hardest chalice dungeons to obtain the best bloodgems in the game. so yeh. some of those PvP'rs are insane at both PvE and PvP.
I honestly don't think I've ever thought I was good at a game. I'm usually good enough to get through them but I've never boasted about being good. I take the Hollie approach and enjoy them. I don't play on easy though.
Dylan Farley no problem. 😀 Just sharing, I know I could show patience and do research to learn. Instead I just hammer my way out and enjoy the story .one reason me and platformer games don’t get along😝
A very old one NFS Porsche - on PC. I guess any games that were popular before online leaderboards. When your name fills every spot in the local high score board was something quite special.
God I would love to work with PlayStation Access...I love you guys so much and always wanted to be a games journalist or something along those lines. Watching you guys is humbling and fun, Thank you for all the great videos and good times!
Dave: "That's funny because there are so many one on onsie where you thought you'd win and I owned you." Hollie: "Lol." That was ace smack talk right there and Hollie's follow up accented it. XD
FF7. I remember playing for hours and I thought I was good until after weeks I find out at my jiu jitsu club someone was also playing the game. When he began talking of Vincent the vampire or Odin I was thinking is this the same game? Turns out I forgot so many items along the road I never could win against the Ultimate Sephiroth.
Injustice, more specifically injustice 2. I spent a good few hours learning how to play Robin. I was like "screw it i'll go online' and holy hell... robin v Robin only it was really like Robin v robin-shaped punching bag
Crash Bandicoot N' Sane Trilogy. I remember being good at the original games. The remake nearly broke me and I still haven't got the platinums. Damn you High Road...
Dave’s entry was my favorite. I’ve been there...pretty much every time I’ve played a FPS. The only difference is never doing an event and do a capture of course.
The ivs, Stab moves, egg moves and in general the meta is overwelming the first time... I will never forget how a ammongus a togekiss and a chansey UTTERLY demolish my team of op (I tought) of legendary pokemon 6 v 6. I never knew his other 3 pokemon...
Fallout 4. The settlement building side. I was always pretty happy with what I could build in F4 Settlements - the I went online and found the Super-Structures that the “professionals” were building. I’d spend all morning making a house, but they’re building whole underground cities, complete with gladiator arenas and an indoor swimming pool. Fml.
I remember being quite happy about being able to get around Papu's Pyramid in 7 seconds. Of course the game doesn't actually count using that guardrail as a lap if you haven't gone up the pyramid first, but still. I always used it as a sort of first lap handicap when playing with friends.
Holly was the stand out of course. I totally feel her on the feeling inadequate when someone else does better on a higher level. Some games I do on easy, others on normal - if I like it enough, I bump it up to hard. With Nier Automata I actually stopped playing because I was bored, even though I'd totally recommend it to people - it is brilliant. The fighting was really easy but it drags out a bit. Not for me. Great video.
Tony Hawk's Underground 2, beat the game without breaking a sweat. Purchased the modem module for the PS2 and tried it online, got to eat a very big humble pie. When the timer ended, players who where still mid-combo could continue, some of them continued for 10-20 minutes after the timer ended. When they stopped their combo's, my "highscore" was a mere fraction of theirs.
That Pic on the far right top wall. The one with Rob dressed as Snake, Dave with the Portal Gun, Hollie as Fem Shep??That would look cool as a PS4 theme. Can it happen???
About the writer in Hollie's story, I don't think it's showing off. I think it's bragging rights, well earned. I also think I only say that because I can be a bit of a show off myself... sometimes. So I kinda feel for the guy. A few years back, there was a story in Hockey news. People were complaining that Alex Ovechkin was show off a bit too much after a goal. I remember one of the Habs players had the best reaction. He said:"Hey! If I were scoring as much goals as he does, I would be showing off too." That was the end of that story. I agree with D.O.N. about feeling like a god in PVE, then getting your humility checked in PVP. Cheers and thanks for the entertainement everyone!
For a while I thought I was good at Devil May Cry 3 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, then I went on RUclips and look up how other people did in the games. While I was watching these combo videos I felt myself getting smaller and smaller with each passing second.
I've been yanked back down to earth by the internet similar to Rob My game was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 If it had any trophies, I'd have the Platinum for sure since at some point I got the Screen "Game completion 100%" I unlocked every character, got all skill points and stunts on every character (which required to 100% every level for every character) I knew these levels by heart. Even when friends were competing against me (taking turns and see who get's the higher score) I wiped the floor with them They couldn't even get close Then came the internet and presented how absolutely average I actually am at this game I was sad. I am sad. This was MY game Thank you, internet
For me it was Gran Turismo 2 - like Rob with Crash Team Racing this was before the internet was really a thing. I practiced and practiced and thought I was really good. Even entered a national competition and placed 6th in Wales. Came home all proud of my accomplishments and played a friend who then persisted to school me at the game he'd barely played and I couldn't get near him.
I was one of the top players in COD:MW2. I was on the top 2 or 3 in scoring and K/D in most of the matches I played. Then I played on an internet connection good enough to get into matches in Europe. I was still above average, but I was nowhere where I thought I was. I was just a big fish in a small pond.
I thought the title was "Games We Thought Were Good (but were actually not)". I was like, this will be an interesting video. Than I reread the title and was a little disappointed. Either way, it is nice seeing more of Access Team. :)
Hollie, I never bother playing on anything harder than Normal, and if I actually want to enjoy the story I almost always set the game to Easy. That was the only way I was able to finish the Uncharted games. I play games to have fun and relax, not to feel underpowered and overwhelmed. I get enough of that IRL...
Speaking of shortcuts... Star Wars Episode 1 racer for N64. Hours upon hours in multiplayer with my brothers just moving around in the stages looking for possible shortcuts and quick routes. Good fun, might boot it up tonight.
I was thinking about saying I'm good at a single player games. The Uncharted games, Arkham games, God of War, MGS (that one is for you Rob) to name a few. But I'm gonna go the competitive route and say I was pretty good at Jet Motto on PS1. I knew all the tracks shortcuts and how to hit grapple points at the perfect spot. I wish they'd remake that or do a next gen sequel.
One of the greatest joys in gaming is realizing that I'm not good at a game. It's one of the best feelings! It implies that, for starters, I really like the game, since I've played it enough to feel like I'm good at it(only to have that illusion shattered). It also implies a high-skill ceiling, and discovering that a game that you love has high skill ceiling, man, there's no better feeling than that. "WHAT! You mean there's more for me to do? YES!!!". It happened to me with the Devil May Cry series, for example. Turns out that your S-Rank runs are nothing compared to what you **can** do in those games.
Guitar Hero, won a couple local tournaments, had a lot of fun, beating every song on expert. The gap between my GH ability and the ability of those who are actual GH experts is larger than the gap between me and my 3 yo daughter.
I was pretty damn good at Black Ops 2. Me and my brother made classes where we just used combat knives and ballistic knives and we came in the top 2 quite a bit. I was also really good at One in the Chamber. wish they'd bring that back lol.
Tekken 7 for me ! I'm playing the franchise since the third opus and I love it ! Tekken 7 is one of my favorite game on PS4, I even platinumed it (and yeah I know it's a piece of cake to get the platinum, I just wanted to share how committed I was to that game). And it doesn't matter how much effort I put, I'm getting destroyed online !!
Got to be Guitar Hero, I'm not that bad at them - I've not found a song that I can't actually pass - but seeing what some people can do with the game is actually nuts
Man I would love to have a job working with you guys. You guys have so much fun doing what you do. If you have any openings at PlayStation Access I'd love to be a part of the team there 😀👍👍👍. You guys Rock 😇
100% smash brothers. Specifically PM. I had fallowed the competitive melee scene for years, could perform pretty much all the adnance tech in pm and had what i thought was a very strong grasp of how nuetral and punish games worked. Two of my best friends also loved smash and we grinded for hours every hangout pushing eachother to new heaights. We absalutly destroyed anyone we casualy met who thought they were good. BUT then we went to a pm local that had some of the best players in texas and all three of us went 1-3 in our pools and diddnt make it to bracket. I got absalutly wrecked by the 3 guys who beat me and knowing in the world of smash only one was maybe top 100 my perspective of how good i was was shattered. We still play but usually just for about an hour.
For me it was Mortal Kombat 9. Played singleplayer on the hardest difficulty and did great. Played my first online game and was beaten perfect fatality... feels bad man
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 (PS1) - (and also CTR, but I'm leaving that title to Rob) I could do the whole 2 minutes (and sometimes more) trick after trick, pumping up the multiplier... but I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who can crush me with more advanced tricks, combos, and the like... The times when you were the world champion, and only had your friends as judges... :')
Gravity Rush, literally two days ago. I'd been refining my technique on one of the time trials, trying to get a gold medal. On my gold medal run, I absolutely shattered my personal best. Feeling cocky, I decided to check my score against the global leaderboards, only to discover that my time was slightly less than double the world record. I'm still a little crushed.
When i would play games like CTR and Super Mario Cart Double Dash i memorized everything and beat all challengers. When i played mt sister she would get so mad because of my taunts for example "don't feel so bad, look at it this way your my assistant champion because there wouldn't be winners if it wasn't for losers".
I went 126 straight wins once, against around a dozen of my friends on Mario Kart's battle mode on the SNES. The game stops counting after 99. I was pretty happy with that one. I'm terrible at literally everything BUT Super Mario Kart.
Omg the final bosses on the first playthrough on Nier Automata was ridiculous. I literally had no potions, all of my stuff was broken and I was weak af. AND I COULDN'T GO BACK!
i have a few stories. 1. a game i thought i was god at wasHalo but i only played against the same 3 friends all the time and i was alwayst he best of us then i tried online with Halo 2 and man i got my ass kicked and i had to learn again how to be good at halo and now i am a better fps player in general thanks to Halo 2s multiplayer. 2. Super Smash Bros man i always played Link, Ganon or Roy and thought i was the king but again i only played against the same 3 friends so of course but then i meet new friends who told me they only play for fun and i challanged them cusi wanted to show off i guess :P. We went home to one of the friend and they told me "do not shout if you lose", i took Roy and the other took Link, Yoshi and Captain Falcon. it was a very fun fight but i lost against the guy who played Link and thought wow there are people better then me at this game. The other laughed hard and called me a noob, loser, unskilled and which trigged me more then losing. 3. One last game i thought i was good at was in Tekken as a kid i only did a kick and a punch i had no idea how to combo but as an early teen i coudl do so many of them and the same 3 friends i played with lost most of the time against me but then i played at an event against a really good player and he destroyed me and i was just holding my controler in silenced, looked at him and he just said"thanos for the match new guy" and then walked away. In general i am a decent player in some games but i am never or dont have the same skill level as some of the best players in the world i mean thier reaction time is just amazing.
I love Dark souls games, I know the ins and outs of both dark souls 1 and 2 and I can say with confidence that I am very good at the single player and the multiplayer aspects of the game, so when bloodborne came out I was like "this game is going to be easy because my dark souls experience", ooooooh I was so wrong, the thing with dark souls is that you learn to be defensive and to react to your enemies, bloodborne is about been agresive, high risk high reward.
Street Fighter.... I grew up being better at Street Fighter, and games in general, than all of my brothers, as well as all of my friends. I would destroy them to the point where I crushed their hopes and dreams and their very will to live. Then Street Fighter IV happened. Playing online was a heart breaking eye opener for me.... Still love it
Thought I was good at Rocket League, scored a few nice goals, some good saves etc but then watch the prods who are dribbling in mid air and doing back flip shots off the ceiling, it's mental!
MKX, was a game I thought I was good at because I was better than my friends. Until I met really competitive people. I was still decent at the game, but all my unsafe moves were punished heavily with 40% combos.
Mortal Kombat X. Got through the campaign after only losing a couple of times and destroyed my friend when playing 1v1, but then I tried playing online... I did 10 casual games and lost all of them, I haven't touched the game since.
The CTR made me think of mario mart 64. None of of friends or family can beat me at that game but to be honest i kinda cheat like how rob was talking about going off the track. I use the mushroom boost and star power speed boost to cut thru the grass all the time in MK64.
The even worse part about cod is it's a team game so like there are groups of people we collectively refer to as pub stars people who aren't quite as good as your average or top teir pro players but they do certain things like run full party's or use certain skills and kill streaks that aren't viable or are flat out banned in a professional setting and also very unlike pro players your likely to run into them in a public lobby because they aren't practicing or going to tourneys or playing cash matches in private lobby they are doing it for leaderboards and bragging rights and no matter your skill level when 3/4/5 of the random teammates you got paired with are getting stomped cause not only are they decently good players but they are using every little advantage they can take and communicating and all this you could be doing well the first half until the kill streaks get on a roll then your just fighting to stay even already lost the sense of trying for a victory and more about preserving what little pride you have left it's kinda brutal
Mine is Bloodborne. I thought I was hot stuff being able to counter and beat Orphan of Kos NG+++++ but then i forgot I had rung my Beckoning Bell earlier and had another player enter...with the Milkweed Carryl Rune, Kos Parasite weapon and dressed in the Student attire and just danced around Kos’s Orphan the entire fight at close range and never took a single hit.....made me feel like a novice.
For 5 years I went from what I thought was from noob to pro in smash, however because it was vs CPU’s I was actually naff, learning this the hard way. After ultimate was released I pledged to get better and now I’m a top 1% Dedede player
Mine was the usual crushing the single player and then getting destroyed when trying multiplayer but it was a game I didn't expect, Rise of the Tomb Raider. Turns out, I'm awful at fighting actual people. Great game though!
Call of Duty: World at War. I played the campaign on all hardship levels. I could snipe an enemy forehead with a machine gun! Then I tried online. I couldn't walk 2 feet without someone I never even saw killing me just after I spawned. Over and over. I don't play online now, any game. I am a campaign player only.
ur favorite Dmc was the redundantly named DmC:DMC ninja theroy....that is all my critism done right for me. at least it was Dmc 2 our most confused brother in arms X (
I don't think it was the controls for me. Ironically, it was the help of the Batmobile. I don't know why everyone hates the Batmobile, it makes some missions easier to handle, especially when you get used to the controls.
Similar to Dave, I used to be really good at fifa from ps3 days I would win 48 out of 50 games with multiple scores etc and had people quitting by half time in most cases and I remember playing my friends with 1 and half star teams while they played with 5 star teams etc. I had not bought any football games on ps4 until fifa 18 which I got for free as a present. In my head I still thought I was good and I remember losing my first game to the computer on legendary which would never have happened in the old days. That was when I realised the game had changed a lot since the PS3 mainly on defence as I can still score as easily, just concede way too much.
I never thought I was unbeatable in video games, especially fighting games, but I didn't thought I was terrible either. But on doa4 after I have completed the story mode with every character, I decided to play online to unlock some achievements. The achievements I end up unlocking the achievemt for losing 10 consecutive games online worth 0 gamerscore. There was another one for losing 20 consecutive games, but I didn't want to attempt it. I was exhausted
you got have the right specials i sucked at this game at first till i found out how to use the specials and a stronger equipment makes it easier too, for me the place filled with poison was way harder then that fight, because of the "timelimit"
You don't have to be the best in the world, all that matters is, that you're better than your friends.
To a point, been playing mario kart games since the snes and have had multiple occasions were my friends stopped playing it if I was involved as they are just playing for second place. couple of months after I started a job and someone organised a mario kart Wii tournament over the internet. Much trash talking was had by all but me (just never been into it) leading up to that evening, an hour before the end of the shift one of them PM'd me as they realised I hadn't been taking part in the trash talking and asked me if I was being quiet because I knew I was good...well we only did it once and I came first every race by a wide margin.

For mario kart 3ds I found out that there had been a competition in a local shopping centre and the winning time for it was 10 seconds slower than my time trial PB. If I had known I could of got an easy 3ds and copy of mario kart.
Bringing it back to the video, I then watch speed runners on any mk game and it just leaves me in the dust, that difference between the top 5% and top 1% is just crazy.
I'm bad at fighting games... But I defeat all my friends hahaha...
@Leocram Vinci Do you have Tekken 7 on PS4? ;)
@@mrbarefootbogan6254 Yes
Wanna Player Match?
I think Rob’s sister should come on and challenge Rob to some Crash Team Racing!
I agree
Special guest: Robs sister
I knew Rob was going to talk about CTR.
It was the game that came to mind, but I didn't think he'd actually say it. Lol
Poor Rob wasting so much time playing CTR when he could have played Mario Kart ;p
That or MGS
I saw it coming as far back as you likely did.
Any FPS multiplayer game like Call of Duty, Doom or Battlefield. I can kick some enemy butt in the single player campaign mode and feel like a god but go onto multiplayer and I'm lucky if I even end a game with a positive K/D ratio
Truth
Because it's a very different playstyle
I kinda have the opposite with cod bo2
I'd like to see you play Battlefield 1943 ;) I've mastered all of the maps.

I know how you feel.
Yes. Well, Rob at least.
totally!! xD

Dave’s entry was my favorite. I’ve been there...pretty much every time I’ve played a FPS. The only difference is never doing an event and do a capture of course.
Pokémon, then I played against other people (actual people) and got obliterated.
The ivs, Stab moves, egg moves and in general the meta is overwelming the first time...
I will never forget how a ammongus a togekiss and a chansey UTTERLY demolish my team of op (I tought) of legendary pokemon 6 v 6.
I never knew his other 3 pokemon...
pokemon against the game is just (put up some high lvl pokemon, type often doesnt even matter) and you win
Same here.
togekiss is amazing w/ serene grace ability plus holding kings rock and using air slash= 64% chance to flinch
The Pokemon meta is insane
Fallout 4. The settlement building side.
I was always pretty happy with what I could build in F4 Settlements - the I went online and found the Super-Structures that the “professionals” were building.
I’d spend all morning making a house, but they’re building whole underground cities, complete with gladiator arenas and an indoor swimming pool. Fml.
Loving the new music used on the channel, in the intros 👍🏻
Lmao at Rob’s impression of the “unnamed guy!!” 😂😂. “Wow what a cool guy!!” His sarcasm lol. Funny episode in all.
I remember being quite happy about being able to get around Papu's Pyramid in 7 seconds. Of course the game doesn't actually count using that guardrail as a lap if you haven't gone up the pyramid first, but still. I always used it as a sort of first lap handicap when playing with friends.
I would love to see online of CTR on the PS4
Sometimes I just miss Nath. His dynamic with Dave was the best - true friend goals!
You actually used my idea! Fantastic!
The *about* section of your channel, though! 🤘😎👍
You can tell the about section hasn't been amended in some time...
Tekken 7
I'm a simple man, I see Hollie in thumbnail, I click.
Every fighting game ever. Unless I'm playing Kintaro on Mortal Kombat trilogy ;)
Every mobile games ever 😉
Holly was the stand out of course. I totally feel her on the feeling inadequate when someone else does better on a higher level. Some games I do on easy, others on normal - if I like it enough, I bump it up to hard. With Nier Automata I actually stopped playing because I was bored, even though I'd totally recommend it to people - it is brilliant. The fighting was really easy but it drags out a bit. Not for me.
Great video.
Tony Hawk's Underground 2, beat the game without breaking a sweat. Purchased the modem module for the PS2 and tried it online, got to eat a very big humble pie. When the timer ended, players who where still mid-combo could continue, some of them continued for 10-20 minutes after the timer ended. When they stopped their combo's, my "highscore" was a mere fraction of theirs.
Original Playstation Ridge Racer, using a NegCon is was an absolute master. Bit like Rob, I only had one competitor!
That Pic on the far right top wall. The one with Rob dressed as Snake, Dave with the Portal Gun, Hollie as Fem Shep??That would look cool as a PS4 theme. Can it happen???
lol I love this channel. Keep up the good work guys.
How come I never get tired of Rob talking about CTR?
About the writer in Hollie's story, I don't think it's showing off. I think it's bragging rights, well earned. I also think I only say that because I can be a bit of a show off myself... sometimes. So I kinda feel for the guy. A few years back, there was a story in Hockey news. People were complaining that Alex Ovechkin was show off a bit too much after a goal. I remember one of the Habs players had the best reaction. He said:"Hey! If I were scoring as much goals as he does, I would be showing off too." That was the end of that story. I agree with D.O.N. about feeling like a god in PVE, then getting your humility checked in PVP. Cheers and thanks for the entertainement everyone!
This was my favourite PlayStation Access team.
For a while I thought I was good at Devil May Cry 3 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, then I went on RUclips and look up how other people did in the games. While I was watching these combo videos I felt myself getting smaller and smaller with each passing second.
Watching these DMC4 combo videos is absolute insanity, I have no idea how stuff like that is possible with only two hands.
I've been yanked back down to earth by the internet similar to Rob
My game was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
If it had any trophies, I'd have the Platinum for sure since at some point I got the Screen "Game completion 100%"
I unlocked every character, got all skill points and stunts on every character (which required to 100% every level for every character)
I knew these levels by heart. Even when friends were competing against me (taking turns and see who get's the higher score) I wiped the floor with them
They couldn't even get close
Then came the internet and presented how absolutely average I actually am at this game
I was sad. I am sad. This was MY game
Thank you, internet
Thought I was amazing at commenting, turns out i'm not.
Why do you say that?
Put it on easy.
Oof, even using meta comments op only got 5 likes
18:53 "assumtions". I'm going to have nightmares about that.
For me it was Gran Turismo 2 - like Rob with Crash Team Racing this was before the internet was really a thing. I practiced and practiced and thought I was really good. Even entered a national competition and placed 6th in Wales. Came home all proud of my accomplishments and played a friend who then persisted to school me at the game he'd barely played and I couldn't get near him.
I love devil may cry games but i suck at doing combos aswell
I was one of the top players in COD:MW2. I was on the top 2 or 3 in scoring and K/D in most of the matches I played. Then I played on an internet connection good enough to get into matches in Europe. I was still above average, but I was nowhere where I thought I was. I was just a big fish in a small pond.
I thought the title was "Games We Thought Were Good (but were actually not)". I was like, this will be an interesting video. Than I reread the title and was a little disappointed. Either way, it is nice seeing more of Access Team. :)
Hollie, I never bother playing on anything harder than Normal, and if I actually want to enjoy the story I almost always set the game to Easy. That was the only way I was able to finish the Uncharted games.
I play games to have fun and relax, not to feel underpowered and overwhelmed. I get enough of that IRL...
Speaking of shortcuts... Star Wars Episode 1 racer for N64. Hours upon hours in multiplayer with my brothers just moving around in the stages looking for possible shortcuts and quick routes. Good fun, might boot it up tonight.
Zachary Charles you mean Star Wars pod racing correct? I still have that game (I think like 3 copies (for some reason))
I was thinking about saying I'm good at a single player games. The Uncharted games, Arkham games, God of War, MGS (that one is for you Rob) to name a few. But I'm gonna go the competitive route and say I was pretty good at Jet Motto on PS1. I knew all the tracks shortcuts and how to hit grapple points at the perfect spot. I wish they'd remake that or do a next gen sequel.
One of the greatest joys in gaming is realizing that I'm not good at a game. It's one of the best feelings! It implies that, for starters, I really like the game, since I've played it enough to feel like I'm good at it(only to have that illusion shattered). It also implies a high-skill ceiling, and discovering that a game that you love has high skill ceiling, man, there's no better feeling than that. "WHAT! You mean there's more for me to do? YES!!!". It happened to me with the Devil May Cry series, for example. Turns out that your S-Rank runs are nothing compared to what you **can** do in those games.
Guitar Hero, won a couple local tournaments, had a lot of fun, beating every song on expert. The gap between my GH ability and the ability of those who are actual GH experts is larger than the gap between me and my 3 yo daughter.
I was pretty damn good at Black Ops 2. Me and my brother made classes where we just used combat knives and ballistic knives and we came in the top 2 quite a bit. I was also really good at One in the Chamber. wish they'd bring that back lol.
Tekken 7 for me !
I'm playing the franchise since the third opus and I love it !
Tekken 7 is one of my favorite game on PS4, I even platinumed it (and yeah I know it's a piece of cake to get the platinum, I just wanted to share how committed I was to that game).
And it doesn't matter how much effort I put, I'm getting destroyed online !!
Got to be Guitar Hero, I'm not that bad at them - I've not found a song that I can't actually pass - but seeing what some people can do with the game is actually nuts
Man I would love to have a job working with you guys. You guys have so much fun doing what you do. If you have any openings at PlayStation Access I'd love to be a part of the team there 😀👍👍👍. You guys Rock 😇
100% smash brothers. Specifically PM. I had fallowed the competitive melee scene for years, could perform pretty much all the adnance tech in pm and had what i thought was a very strong grasp of how nuetral and punish games worked. Two of my best friends also loved smash and we grinded for hours every hangout pushing eachother to new heaights. We absalutly destroyed anyone we casualy met who thought they were good. BUT then we went to a pm local that had some of the best players in texas and all three of us went 1-3 in our pools and diddnt make it to bracket. I got absalutly wrecked by the 3 guys who beat me and knowing in the world of smash only one was maybe top 100 my perspective of how good i was was shattered. We still play but usually just for about an hour.
For me it was Mortal Kombat 9.
Played singleplayer on the hardest difficulty and did great.
Played my first online game and was beaten perfect fatality... feels bad man
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 (PS1) - (and also CTR, but I'm leaving that title to Rob)
I could do the whole 2 minutes (and sometimes more) trick after trick, pumping up the multiplier... but I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who can crush me with more advanced tricks, combos, and the like...
The times when you were the world champion, and only had your friends as judges... :')
Gravity Rush, literally two days ago. I'd been refining my technique on one of the time trials, trying to get a gold medal. On my gold medal run, I absolutely shattered my personal best. Feeling cocky, I decided to check my score against the global leaderboards, only to discover that my time was slightly less than double the world record. I'm still a little crushed.
How did I know rob would say crash team racing😂
Mine was black opps 3
After years of playing with his sister, I am surprised Rob didn't figure out all the shortcuts without the Internet.
When i would play games like CTR and Super Mario Cart Double Dash i memorized everything and beat all challengers. When i played mt sister she would get so mad because of my taunts for example "don't feel so bad, look at it this way your my assistant champion because there wouldn't be winners if it wasn't for losers".
I went 126 straight wins once, against around a dozen of my friends on Mario Kart's battle mode on the SNES. The game stops counting after 99. I was pretty happy with that one. I'm terrible at literally everything BUT Super Mario Kart.
Omg the final bosses on the first playthrough on Nier Automata was ridiculous. I literally had no potions, all of my stuff was broken and I was weak af. AND I COULDN'T GO BACK!
i have a few stories.
1. a game i thought i was god at wasHalo but i only played against the same 3 friends all the time and i was alwayst he best of us then i tried online with Halo 2 and man i got my ass kicked and i had to learn again how to be good at halo and now i am a better fps player in general thanks to Halo 2s multiplayer.
2. Super Smash Bros man i always played Link, Ganon or Roy and thought i was the king but again i only played against the same 3 friends so of course but then i meet new friends who told me they only play for fun and i challanged them cusi wanted to show off i guess :P.
We went home to one of the friend and they told me "do not shout if you lose", i took Roy and the other took Link, Yoshi and Captain Falcon. it was a very fun fight but i lost against the guy who played Link and thought wow there are people better then me at this game. The other laughed hard and called me a noob, loser, unskilled and which trigged me more then losing.
3. One last game i thought i was good at was in Tekken as a kid i only did a kick and a punch i had no idea how to combo but as an early teen i coudl do so many of them and the same 3 friends i played with lost most of the time against me but then i played at an event against a really good player and he destroyed me and i was just holding my controler in silenced, looked at him and he just said"thanos for the match new guy" and then walked away.
In general i am a decent player in some games but i am never or dont have the same skill level as some of the best players in the world i mean thier reaction time is just amazing.
Don't worry Rob, you're still the CTR God in my heart 💜
I love Dark souls games, I know the ins and outs of both dark souls 1 and 2 and I can say with confidence that I am very good at the single player and the multiplayer aspects of the game, so when bloodborne came out I was like "this game is going to be easy because my dark souls experience", ooooooh I was so wrong, the thing with dark souls is that you learn to be defensive and to react to your enemies, bloodborne is about been agresive, high risk high reward.
Lol @ Hollie’s story! And love the look!
She definitely needs more airtime 🙂
Xmas special!! Rob vs his sister on crash team racing!!!!!
I used to think I was really good at super smash, beat all my friends/family etc every time....and then I watched a pro tournament.
Street Fighter....
I grew up being better at Street Fighter, and games in general, than all of my brothers, as well as all of my friends. I would destroy them to the point where I crushed their hopes and dreams and their very will to live.
Then Street Fighter IV happened. Playing online was a heart breaking eye opener for me.... Still love it
You tube suggested this, my heart skipped a beat when I saw hollies picture
Thought I was good at Rocket League, scored a few nice goals, some good saves etc but then watch the prods who are dribbling in mid air and doing back flip shots off the ceiling, it's mental!
MKX, was a game I thought I was good at because I was better than my friends. Until I met really competitive people. I was still decent at the game, but all my unsafe moves were punished heavily with 40% combos.
Mortal Kombat X. Got through the campaign after only losing a couple of times and destroyed my friend when playing 1v1, but then I tried playing online... I did 10 casual games and lost all of them, I haven't touched the game since.
The CTR made me think of mario mart 64. None of of friends or family can beat me at that game but to be honest i kinda cheat like how rob was talking about going off the track. I use the mushroom boost and star power speed boost to cut thru the grass all the time in MK64.
I remember speedrunning MGS2 back in the PS2 days and thinking my time of 2 hours, 18 minutes was quite something. Oh how times have changed.
The even worse part about cod is it's a team game so like there are groups of people we collectively refer to as pub stars people who aren't quite as good as your average or top teir pro players but they do certain things like run full party's or use certain skills and kill streaks that aren't viable or are flat out banned in a professional setting and also very unlike pro players your likely to run into them in a public lobby because they aren't practicing or going to tourneys or playing cash matches in private lobby they are doing it for leaderboards and bragging rights and no matter your skill level when 3/4/5 of the random teammates you got paired with are getting stomped cause not only are they decently good players but they are using every little advantage they can take and communicating and all this you could be doing well the first half until the kill streaks get on a roll then your just fighting to stay even already lost the sense of trying for a victory and more about preserving what little pride you have left it's kinda brutal
I love Rob's T-Shirt. Wonder if it's sold anywhere.
Mine is Bloodborne. I thought I was hot stuff being able to counter and beat Orphan of Kos NG+++++ but then i forgot I had rung my Beckoning Bell earlier and had another player enter...with the Milkweed Carryl Rune, Kos Parasite weapon and dressed in the Student attire and just danced around Kos’s Orphan the entire fight at close range and never took a single hit.....made me feel like a novice.
For 5 years I went from what I thought was from noob to pro in smash, however because it was vs CPU’s I was actually naff, learning this the hard way. After ultimate was released I pledged to get better and now I’m a top 1% Dedede player
Mine was the usual crushing the single player and then getting destroyed when trying multiplayer but it was a game I didn't expect, Rise of the Tomb Raider. Turns out, I'm awful at fighting actual people. Great game though!
But that game doesn't have multiplayer?
Sorry mate, you're right. Rise had the co-op, meant from the 2013 release on the island.
No matter how good you think you are the is always someone out there who is better
Tekken 3. My first game I actually thought I was good enough I'd play in a tournament. I beat my first opponent barely. Then was quickly eliminated.
Call of Duty: World at War. I played the campaign on all hardship levels. I could snipe an enemy forehead with a machine gun! Then I tried online. I couldn't walk 2 feet without someone I never even saw killing me just after I spawned. Over and over. I don't play online now, any game. I am a campaign player only.
ur favorite Dmc was the redundantly named DmC:DMC ninja theroy....that is all my critism done right for me. at least it was Dmc 2 our most confused brother in arms X (
For me it's Injustice and Batman: Arkham Origins, through surprisingly not Arkham Knight for some reason.
That's because Arkham origins is buggy and had bad button sync. Arkham knight was way more polished
I don't think it was the controls for me. Ironically, it was the help of the Batmobile. I don't know why everyone hates the Batmobile, it makes some missions easier to handle, especially when you get used to the controls.
Crisis Among Infinite Darths AC Crisis Tank missions
Similar to Dave, I used to be really good at fifa from ps3 days I would win 48 out of 50 games with multiple scores etc and had people quitting by half time in most cases and I remember playing my friends with 1 and half star teams while they played with 5 star teams etc. I had not bought any football games on ps4 until fifa 18 which I got for free as a present.
In my head I still thought I was good and I remember losing my first game to the computer on legendary which would never have happened in the old days. That was when I realised the game had changed a lot since the PS3 mainly on defence as I can still score as easily, just concede way too much.
I never thought I was unbeatable in video games, especially fighting games, but I didn't thought I was terrible either. But on doa4 after I have completed the story mode with every character, I decided to play online to unlock some achievements. The achievements I end up unlocking the achievemt for losing 10 consecutive games online worth 0 gamerscore. There was another one for losing 20 consecutive games, but I didn't want to attempt it. I was exhausted
God Of War (2018) until I faced off against Sigrun. Still haven't beaten her!!
you got have the right specials i sucked at this game at first till i found out how to use the specials and a stronger equipment makes it easier too, for me the place filled with poison was way harder then that fight, because of the "timelimit"
