Things you are good at in games, but (probably) not in real life.

[Lunar Templar]

Sniping: with a rifle or bow: in games I'm actually very good at taking some one out from just BARELY with in my firing range, real life, not so much i'm better with a bow then i am with a rifle though.

Martial Prowess: Armed and Unarmed: in games, i am a one man army, and a master of any weapon you give me and am fully capable of destroying even the hardest foes bare handed, cause i'm badass like that, real life >.> yeah, not so much, i have a working knowledge of how to swing a sword and that's about it

Magic: all schools: in game, when i feel the urge, can control the very fabric of reality, in real life, magic kinda doesn't exist so I'm not really in control of diddly squat

 

[Torrasque]

Driving, shooting, running, lifting, and fighting off a vast alien hoard.
Surprisingly enough, I can actually fly the shit out of a fighter jet since I scored nearly perfect scores on a flight simulator that real pilots use before getting into the real thing. Not one of those ones that you buy or download, but a $25,000 simulator that has 3 axis of movement, vibration, and pretty realistic physics representation.

I'm an absolute champion of Mirror's Edge. Even the pacifist run. ESPECIALLY the pacifist run.

Me in real life:

Hmm what am I good at in games? Everything. And I suck at everything in real life.

I'm sad now.

Congratulations, I detect no spelling mistakes in your post!

Please feel happy please feel happy please feel happy

 

[someonehairy-ish]

In games I've been known to leap off hundred foot buildings into bales of hay and survive. Never pulled that one off irl yet.

 

[Rickolas Walrus]

Why would you think that at all? It's a completely different skill. Being able to spot targets would be easier, but actually handling a firearm? Completely different.

BECAUSE APPARENTLY I'M AN IDIOT

Totally kidding. I realize it's completely different but I would think my aim would improve in general just from the act of lining up shots. Not a night/day difference or anything to where I bulls eye a target without looking, but maybe a slight improvement at least

 

[StashAugustine]

Killing people?

 

[Fijiman]

Blowing the living cap out of everything. the closest I've come to doing that is those little popper things. Also using guns as well as coming back to life after I've died. Repeatedly.

 

[RedLister]

Shooting things Most recently sniping heads off things in Fallout new Vegas with a Anti matter Sniper. Never held a real firearm or seen one in the real world.

Driving. Yeah i can drive pretty damn well nowadays in Saints row and GTA. But irl....i had to stop taking the lessons because my poor brain is 100% not compatible with gear sticks! Was fine with everything else...just the damn fucking gears!...stalling and then having to scare the hell out of the C***s who keep honking he's/her horn behind me. Yeah only a month worth of lessons and i got road rage.

 

[Unsilenced]

Kicking ass
Chewing gum
Jumping over things
Causing explosions without any negative repercussions (I really wish I could master this)
Bowling with my fat cousin
Punching reporters

Oddly enough, I've spent enough hours in realistic flight sims (as in actual training/test piloting sims) that I know my way around the basic instruments in the cockpit of a civilian aircraft, but then I get to the flight levels in GTA:SA...

 

[loc978]

Direct hand-to-hand combat against multiple opponents. I've gotten a combo up over 100 in both of the Batman Arkham games... but I'm the first guy to go for a lethal weapon in real life.

 

[cognitively_deprived]

Pretty much everything.
Getting shot and surviving, killing dragons, magic, flying through space, having a viewpoint about 8ft in the air looking at my own back and many, many more

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

Killing demons comes to mind.

 

[bluerocker]

-Combat in any form. I do not fight.
-Piloting any form of vehicles; be they aerial or land based.
-Healing People.
-Earning Money; seriously in RPGs, the stuff literally falls into your hands, no matter what you do!

 

[Lucane]

Transforming into a driverless vehicle and alternatingly using my forearms as guns.

 

[Mr.Governor]

I'm pretty good at playing the healer and medic classes in multiplayer games

I have no medical license in RL

 

[White_Lama]

Well, apart from the real obvious stuff involving explosives, shooting, any sort of melee weapon (or fighting in general) or driving/flying different vehicles.

Playing a bloody instrument.
I'm awesome at Rock Band and Guitar Hero games, but can't for the love of me even learn one song on the guitar.

But I have vowed myself that I will know how to play the bagpipes or the harmonica before I die.

 

[Random Fella]

Driving trains
Train simulator 2012, I think you catch my jist

 

[theblindedhunter]

Mediation of issues and convincing people to do things.
In games, there are the wonderful advantages of having all the time in the world to decide things, and sometimes being able to rely on some sort of Persuasion skill.
I don't have these things in real life, and I'm not always good at making people see the right.

I feel like noting, however, that I was surprised to discover I'm a fairly natural shot, at least with a shotgun shooting Trap. I don't know if it can be related to my time playing games, but it was still a pleasant discovery.
