Came to the realization that I'm just not very good at FPS games

The other day I encouraged a friend of mine to get involved with Destiny 2 so we could play around a bit with it. He had some notion about the game but is not an avid gamer. He only recently purchased a PS4 and hadn't been a gamer for quite some time.

He went through the absolutely massive download and later on that night I logged in and sure enough, there he was already in game somewhere.

I decided to join him on a quest that he was mid way through with my toon that had a significantly higher power rating than his character did.

Then we ran around for a while and I tried to take point thinking that I was going to be carrying the team. Wow was I ever wrong. I kept dying over and over again and he wasn't. Here's this guy that has about 2 hours of logged game time and he is the one rezzing me over and over again and we ended up failing sections of the quests because I was dying too much. He had the game on "legendary" and he did that on PURPOSE.

In just a few hours of ever having played the game in his life he was significantly better at it than I was. This was a very humbling moment for me and after a while I just decided to not play anymore. I think my involvement in the game was actually holding him back.

Now I think I can safely delete this game from my hard drive and walk away from it. I am truly terrible at it :)
