Well, I'm only 13. And I am practically bad at them but a bit skilled sometimes. And to the guy who said he bet Mass Effect in a day. I can't beat that part with the Mako on Noveria because you can only repair your Mako ONCE!! Yes ONCE!!

I find I'm averagely good at shooters, bad at racers, and good at RPGs, and RTSs. Although, I do enjoy a good game fo Halo 3 with my friends, or a CS:S Deathmatch/Gungame server.

It also helps to stay perpendicular to whatever is firing at you. That way you can move back and forth to dodge rockets and energy blasts as they come towards you.

I'm actually not very good at games, I think.

Often in reviews you'll see something like "it should take a normal gamer 12 hours to beat." For some reason, I rarely come in under this time- usually several more hours.

If it involves fast action, reflexes or coordination skills...I am definitely hopeless and any game focusing on these will at best get a neutral result from me, or be sent to hell (a few exceptions are well treated niak niak niak).

If it involves "thinking", strategies, tactics, puzzles (GBT!!!)...I think I can stand my grounds and if I find it challenging, it better has easier difficulty settings either for the casuals players...or for the staff of Gamespot! :P

I don't care much for challenges anymore, if it is there I will gleefully embrace it, a player learns to check for other aspects...such as progression! :)

I wouldn't say I'm hopeless, but I'm not the best. I get satisfaction from playing on the easy settings. DMC, yeah, I sucked at that game. Other games I suck at include Jak 2, (which is weird because I completed the R&C series), and racing games. In particular realistic (vs fantasy/sci-fi/combat) racing games. Sports games as well. Of course, I hardly play, if I play at all, the latter two so that makes sense. Sports games just don't interest me. I can complete games without cheats, it just takes me a few more runs and more practice then I think it would take really good players.

I'm good at most single player games of most genres. I've only recently started playing mp fps's (mostly team fortress 2) and I'm just gettingrocked by everyone. The worst part is I don't seem to be improving at all. I'm hopelessly bad versus live people.

I'm average, getting better though. I didn't get to really start gaming until late because my parents were all "Omgz, video games = the devil!" but now I'd say I'm catching up. It saddens me to see all the old schoo gaming I miss out on though. I can't possibly finish tons of old school and present games all at once. Ah well. ~o~ I try.

I don't really know but I'd have to lean towards saying I'm kind of bad. I am able to beat 99 percent of the games I play, but I feel like you can be pretty sloppy and still complete 99 percent of games, and I'm definitely sloppy. I don't really play enough multiplayer outside of RTS to know how I stack up against other players, and that's a big thing since I feel generally a talented player > good AI.I'm pretty bad at PC because I suck at the keyboard, and I'm absolutely gawd-awful at RTS and can't seem to get better no matter how hard I try. I feel I'm somewhat decent at action games and maybe FPS but probably below average at everything else.

Well, it depends on the game. Games which were designed to be impossible to beat. Like in GTA San Andreas, the remote controlled airplane mission and the Assassination mission in Manhunt 2. You will need to repeat the game until you shall eventually finish it. Fighting games and RPG are easier for me to beat.
