I played games all my life, and it always baffled me how some streamers can master one game over several years and then be completely unusable in another. Like bruh, it is still a game, it is not THAT different. Sure, they might suck because they didn't master the mechanics yet, but struggling with basic controls for an hour? They gotta be playing it...
Throw me into a game, and if the controls make sense it will probably be second nature to me in 15 minutes for me.
I think most people avoid games that are so different from what they have played before that they dont know where to even begin. This happened with baldurs gate 3 a lot because it was so popular but also a new genre for most.
Do you still learn games quickly if they are entirely foreign to you? Last couple examples for me were satisfactory and minecraft, and both took quite a while to become proficient in.
All that said, I dont think variety streamers are playing complicated or complex games with long learning curves to begin with, so them struggling at normal platformers and such is pretty ridiculous.
That's how I feel with just about any platformer that don't have tank controls. Whether or not I'm good at said game is a whole different story...
Dude. It's time you start playing flight and/or space sims.
(15 minutes hahahahaha)
Realistic games do not quite count, because the controls are complicated by nature and learning them is the gameplay.
