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

[Cranky]

Slow motion combat.
Tucking and rolling everywhere.
Gluing myself to a wall.
Pull off multi-combo attacks against a group of enemies.
Punch mechs to death.

 

[Blunderboy]

Romance people.
In real life the girls run away in terror. The games lied to me.

I thought you might appreciate this.

OT - Probably most things. I mean I'm pretty good at social interaction and I'm not a terrible shot at airsoft, but I'm pretty sure I'd be crap at shooting a real gun. I'm not really very stealthy either.

 

[Poetic Nova]

First thing that comes to mind is actually being able to aim and hit someone/something without crosshair (no use of sights either) and sniping i love some sniping in games. In RL I never touched a gun at all.

 

[Brendan Stepladder]

I could list a plethora of things. I can't hit anything with a gun more than 50 feet away, I am too lanky and bony to perform any spectacular forms of melee combat, and I can't break solid bricks with my skull.

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

I'm not really very stealthy either.

Speaking of which, stealth is one thing I am better at in real life. I am very good at stealth games, but in real life I can be like a ghost.

 

[FoolKiller]

Skating... even though I rock at NHL games. I'm a great athlete as long as my feet are in contact with the ground. Skates just throw my natural balance off and I've never gotten the hang of it.

 

[Unia]

I'm stellar at bowling in Wii Sports. In real liffe I got dainty little hands and no upper body strenght.

In games I rarely if ever loose my bearings in a 3D environment. In RL going anywhere I haven't been before requires extra 30 minutes of travel time to account for getting lost. Weird, that.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

In Resident Evil I have some badass aim and can get headshots like there is no problem. In real life though, I've never picked up a real gun. XD

 

[kingthrall]

I'm pretty good at killing people in about a thousand different ways in games. Not so successful in real life I am afraid. Yet to even get a single Kill in the real world. Otherwise I might get a guard telling me to Halt iv'e broken the law. Pay the fine or Pay with your blood.

 

[TakeshiLive]

Being handsome, charismatic and well-organized eludes me IRL.

Oh, and being rich too, I still don't have those millions of credits.

 

[The]

Stealth. Doesn't work out for me.

 

[Techno Squidgy]

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

The only thing I can think of that would be better is perhaps being able to tell when you've lined your eye up to the sights properly, but even then it's still the matter of holding the weapon in a stable position and breathing that dictates how well you can shoot.

 

[veloper]

It's much shorter and easier to do a topic on what people do better IRL than their game avatars.
Probably spatial awareness, not getting stuck in scenery and maybe noticing the obvious (idiotic cutscenes).
Everything else goes to the avatar.

 

[VeryOddGamer]

Well, most things. In real life, I'm probably not very good at:
-shooting
-driving really fast
-sneaking
-hacking
-starting a romantic relationship
-running
-jumping
-quicksaving
-lockpicking
-magic
-healing
...
Now that I think of it, almost everything.

[Denamic]

Breeding and commanding vast armies of alien creatures to destroy, consume, and expand my influence.

 

[Fasckira]

Dying. Im pretty pro at doing that in a variety of ways in most games, but I reckon I'd only be able to pull it off once in real life.

 

[Jolly Co-operator]

Being a medic. I'm a bit too squeamish for that kind of thing

Oh, and stealth. I can walk silently on just about any floor without much effort ( I guess all that marching band practice actually WAS good for something), but I always get nervous and end up bumping in to something.

 

[Seagoon]

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.

"YET" Keep telling yourself that, "YET"
