How is one good at gaming?

The point of playing a game is having fun, right?

So the best gamers are the ones that have the most fun?

...Considering all the grinding, that probably means I'm pretty bad at gaming.

Im amazing at gaming. 2.0 KD in CoD, max rank in halo 3, beat New Vegas on hardcore, ran through Oblivion countless times, and own every One of a Kind item.

When it comes to gaming, im a beast. And to be honest, im proud of it. Jocks can be proud of getting a touchdown, i can be proud of capping a flag and getting a cross map tomahawk.

I usually score top in CSS servers and prior to the TF2 updates I was always the best scorer as a scout. Usually in both kills and points, had dozens of double digit streaks on 2fort, record was like 31 on a pub server.

It depends on the game. In shooting games, I favour either the sniper-rifle, or shotgun. (Depends on the shotgun) I suck, suck, SUCK with using pistols, machine guns, and anything like that... soooo, basically any other player/the AI can kill me without much trouble... I suck at racing and flying games, mediocre at RPG and RTS... I am quite good at Hack and Slash games though :D

The games that I actually play regularly I'm good at, like Halo Reach.
Although I'm a helluva lot better at the online multiplayer part of games than I am on the single player modes. I never tend to set the difficulty level any higher than the default because I often get bored of campaigns so I just play online or with split screen.

Well, I've been playing games since I was 6, so you'd think I would be. I'm quite good at platforming, puzzle, some FPSes and Pokemon, but I'm pretty bad at a lot of other stuff.

I'm good at CoD so long as good is 2:00 kdr. I've completed the campaigns on CoD4 (including mile high club), WaW and Mw2 on Veteran. I like to at least think I'm better than a lot of people.

I'm Gold level Starcraft so that says what my RTS abilities are. I SUCK at guitar hero and rock band and when I say suck I mean it in a way so bad I should never be near those games again. I'm actually really good at everything else. MMOs, RPGs, Shooters, Fighters, and adventure but there aren't much of those to test your skills with. Gotta remember that there's always someone better though.

Well... I try to be good. On campaign mode for games, I don't play the hardest difficulty (not because its too hard, but because its not fun.) I suppose that sums up my gaming career. I don't play to be good, i play to have fun. Being good doesn't matter.


I have days where I am good at online games, such as Call of Duty. Some days, I feel brilliant at them (doesn't mean i am) and some days i feel useless (again, doesn't mean i am, but thats more likely) but either way, i just want to have fun.

I'm not the only one right?

I picked up Halo Reach at midnight on the day of release. By 8:00am I had finished the game on Legendary. On multiplayer I've always been pretty good, but put a sniper in my hands in any game (except for Black Ops, because the snipers on those are so freaking weird that I can't get the hang of them) and I'll wreck shit with them. I'm good at getting the first shot off in firefights, but I've always been an accuracy kind of guy instead of a spray'n'pray, which means I'll take the time to line up a shot and hit every time. I've got a 45% accuracy rating in MW2, and my rating in Reach is similar (with snipers it's closer to 80-90%). The issue with that is in close range battles I'll always hit the first shot, but instead of just firing everything I have I'll take the time to line up the next shot again, and that only works about 50% of the time. That said, I always come out with a positive k/d ratio.

As for other types of games, I've beaten all of the BioWare games I own on the hardest difficulties, I started out gaming on RTS's and have gotten damned good at them (although that's mostly against the AI, since I take the time to build my force/base logically instead of building for speed and killability; I'd say I'm decent against players, but not the best by any means. That said, get me a good teammate who can distract them until I get a big enough force up and I'll be the one to finish a match every time). You can't really judge how good a player is on games like Oblivion, but I like to consider myself pretty good at those too.

The games that I've never been very good at are sports and racing games. I can kinda hold my own at racing ones, but hold my own is a very loose term. And I don't understand sports games at all; I'm much better at actually playing most sports than playing games of them.

I'm above average. Not boasting, certainly not pro at anything. But I'm a little better than the average schlub you'll encounter.

I'm a good gamer but by no means am I a master at all genres or anything.

I tend to be good at shooters, especially the more old school fast paced ones like Quake 3, Unreal Tournament 2004 and Timesplitters: Future Perfect.

I'm good with beat em up games, namely Marvel Vs Capcom, Street Fighter and Soul Calibur, not so much at DOA or Tekken.

RTS: I really like this genre and I tend to be good vs AI but online there always seems to be an advanced race of RTS masterminds out to slaughter me (inb4 jokes about Koreans)

Sports, Racing etc I tend to be mediocre or poor in competative play.
