I'm pretty average. I can't play a difficult game in a matter of days and claim it was easy with the wind in my hair and the sun off my teeth like some people can, and I cget frustrated easy at puzzles and brain teasers but I guess if I could claim that I was a little better then my usual average at any type of game it'd be platformers. man I loves me a good platformer.
Honestly I suck at most games except any Megaman game, somewhat decent at Fighters and certain JRPGs
Same for me. For the most part I can master pretty much any platformer with very little effort anymore, especially older titles from the NES/SNES era. Almost all of them control and "feel" the same, so once you've mastered one it's pretty easy to pick up the next one. I would say I've pretty much mastered classic Mega Man, all of the classic Marios, Kid Icarus, Shadow of the Ninja, etc... my Batman speedrun kind of speaks for itself...Quote:

After that things started to get too complicated and "busy" and I couldn't keep up. Nowadays I'd say I'm pretty shit at modern FPS.
Ratchet & Clank is another style of game that I'm particularly good at. I wouldn't say I've mastered it, but most third-person platformers come fairly easy for me and I'm usually very good at them. Ratchet & Clank, Alice: Madness Returns, Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper, Enslaved... probably others that I'm missing... I wouldn't say I'm a "master" like I would for classic platformers, but I would say I'm really good.
I'm gonna go for a blanket answer here and say of course we're all fantastic or we wouldn't be here constantly talking about all the games we play and beat and so on.
I like platformers and long walks on the beach. And if Elmdor asks if you want to go snorkeling make damn sure you ask him "where"
I'll snorkel whatever he asks me too.Quote:

Im good at playing RTS games and RPG's... and Goat Simulator looks like an awesome game
For me the games I usually were best at were RPG's. I used to play a lot in the day so it was easy to pick up new ones because of the format. For the most part I tend to be more persistent with games now if I get round to playing them, and I usually end up either beating them or giving up. I do enjoy a challenge and will try super hard games just for kicks so bullet hell games for example are a good sell for me. Very satisfying to beat Ikaruga for the first time.
Yupp am pretty good when it comes to play classic games :stud:
I'm pretty average at video games.
In FPS games I can get pretty good, but not professional good because I play with my non-dominant hand for the mouse just because I've done it that way for too long to be able to switch.
One game I was pretty amazing at would have been Shadowrun for PC and xbox 360, it had a relatively small online community and I got so good at sniping at one point when I joined people would leave the game because they recognized my name.
I went back to the game years later and I completely lost my ability to play well.
I'm probably the best in the world at this game.

Now, I'm too lazy to get great skills in a game.. aside from racing games. I'll probably bother with GT7.
Aside from FPS' and fighting games, what games can one say they're really good at unless played in a competition? I mean, back in the days you NEEDED skills on arcades/platformers/side-scrollers...
*in before a mahjong/pokemon champ appears.
:D
I am decent at most genres except for racing, fighting games, and point and click mystery puzzlers. I excel at mainstream console FPS's.
