Are you actually good at gaming?

[Angry_squirrel]

Well it depends on the game.
Halo 3, I got to skill level 50, and 47 MLG.
Now Gears 2 on the other hand...

I'm very good at the Halo games and R.U.S.E., and I'm good but not amazing at guitar hero.
I'm standard/sub standard at everything else

I'd say I'm a decent gamer, although my talents are focused in certain genres.

I'm pretty bad at most FPSs, ESPECIALLY in multiplayer, but I'm good at Bioshock (beat it in Survivor mode). Fighting games are also not my best work, even though I really love them.

RPGs are usually more my thing. I haven't met an RPG yet that I couldn't beat.

I'd say my true skill is in platformers. I've beaten all the 2-D Sonic games on the Genesis, almost every Mario game ever made (still need to play Mario: Lost Levels and New Super Mario Bros Wii).

The only platformers I haven't been able to beat are the insanely difficult ones. Namely, Prinny 2 and Super Meat Boy. Although I'm fairly certain I could beat Super Meat Boy if I picked it up again and really put my mind to it.

I'd say i'm pretty good at gaming, definitely not anywhere near competition players and such, but i like to classify myself "decent" for the average gamer.

Although my down point would have to be Fighting games and RTS's. Only fighting game i really liked/could play well was Naruto Ninja storm 2, which was awesome. And RTS's are like my favourite genre of games, but i suck at them so much XD

 

[Jedamethis]

Well...I have shit aim unless the enemy isn't moving very fast. >.>
Much prefer RPG's to FPS's.

It depends on what you consider to be a good gamer. I can play on normal and only die a few times, but it seems like hard is the new normal for experienced gamers (even though most are lieing about it).

 

[Tallim]

I'm good enough, don't have the time to game much now which is frustrating, getting a bit rusty at some things.

I've got the number 1 slot on Bulletstorms Echoes mode on PS3 though, but that's been less about actual skill and more about very good planning.

 

[Betancore]

It depends on the type of game - I mean, you could give me a strategy game, and I'd look at it for hours and not be able to figure anything out, and you could give me a driving game and I'd veer off track within minutes, but if you gave me an RPG and a few hundred hours, I'd eventually become very good at it. Now that I think about it, I'm not very good at games, but that doesn't mean that I don't/can't enjoy them.

 

[ActionDan]

I see myself good at TF2, all Single player FPS's i've played, but I hate how inconsistant I am with CS:S. Some rounds I play and I can be leading the server the entire way, yet next round I could be absolutely god awful. I don't know what it is.

 

[Mcupobob]

Not in particular. I'm at a funny spot, I like to play RTS a lot and I find that easy is way to easy and then I jump up to normal only to be annihilated almost every time. Pretty much goes the same with good number of games I play.

 

[Cridhe]

28 and been gaming since before I could walk, this is a story my parents have told me. I have got to admit though, I'm a pretty poor-to-average gamer and typically suck like nobody's business.

True story, when I borrow Gears of War from a friend and the screen told me to hit the start button it just skipped everything and screamed Game Over at me.

 

[flamingjimmy]

I'm fairly awesome at pretty much whatever videogame I turn my hand to, years of practice I guess.

 

[Panorama]

I am mainly a P.C. gamer, i am pretty good at FPS's with mouse and keyboard give me a controller and im pretty poor not terrible but not good. RTS im pretty damn good, especially C&C red alert 2. Probably the game i would say i am best at, i still go through it playing it on expert (not the actually difficulty title but i can't remember it) and i was pretty high every month when they used to do ranked matches etc...
Most others i can do average at except sports games which i really suck at.

 

[TrevHead]

Ild say im a talentless gamer who will spend a long time mastering a game just through sheer bloody mindedness.

For example I love playing shmups like Dodonpachi, Deathsmiles but it takes me longer to beat those games on 1 credit than many of my shmup playing peers.

Ive played PC FPS games for years and while im good in general ild say that the use of autosave has lowered my skill with other games that dont use it.

 

[RobCoxxy]

In Red Orchestra 2 beta i'm getting a higher K/D with my scoped Mosin Nagant than Vasily Zaytsev himself. (Including a 300m headshot on the enemy Tank Commander) God damn I'm the boss.

 

[NathLines]

I'm always above average; ranging from good to great. I never go "pro" or anything though(Screw you, Metagame! You're no fun). My weakness would be RTS games. I'm just way too passive to be any good. Basebuildng will always be about defense and camping to me.

 

[Prince Regent]

I'm good at shooters, stealth games and rpgs and I often play them on the hardest difficulty. I'm not so good however at racing games and the only rts that I ever was any good at was red alert II.

 

[teqrevisited]

I can compete fairly evenly most days and, I'm sure, like most people I have my moments of clarity where headshots are a dozen a minute, grand strategies slot neatly into place and I take corners like the Stig.

That doesn't last long, but it's nice while it does because I don't even have to try.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Yeah, I'm pretty goddamn good, at least with TF2, Reach and ME2. I actually pride myself on it.

 

[Beergoesinhere]

the one running in circles while lookin at the sky who is known to run stoically into walls? He manages to best me after a long and arduous duel. So truely I am an incredible. Gods gift to gaming if you will!

 

[NotSoLoneWanderer]

In modern warfare 2? Hide your kids and hide your wife because I'm calling in a tactical nuke (I don't camp. Maybe if I'm about to get a killstreak I'll take it slow but i don't camp). In black ops? I really don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm just not as good. If it's non multiplayer as well then I own fallout 3 and new vegas and most rpg games i come across even if i have to take a 2 month break because of some bs instakill boss or grinding. In fighting games I'm only really good at Mortal Kombat. When I play multiplayer though I'm 15th in prestige in black ops I tend to be a noobinator. My skill comes from my ability to stay out of the enemies line of fire and get behind them. I prefer working the outside of the map and finding where enemy players are headed.
