How good are you at games?

I'm about as good as a chocolate tea pot.

Well since i have played FPS all my life starting with Goldeneye and Perfect dark etc and now COD. I'm really good at them and always get a lot of kills. But when it comes to puzzle games im crap. Normally have to use a guide regularily to complete them.

depending on how saucy im feeling i usually play a game on easy or normal. im not so terrible that i have to pick very easy, but i don't put in the hours that some people do. i always tell my friends i don't like playing online b/c i don't have 40+ hours a week to play to get good enough to compete with kids

I never play on the hardest setting. Its far more fun and better paced to play on the normal difficulty level.

Shooter-Good

Racing- Not to Shaby

RPG- Really Meh

Adventure- Okay

Puzzle- Okay

Sports- Okay

I am a above average player, but nothing special honestly.

I always think im good untill i get online and get my butt handed to me with crazy combos-or skill.

...So i feel better not playing online. Then im actually good.

In all honesty, I'm not a very good player. I tend to play things on easy, and I become very easily frustrated by failure. I only few myself as being legitimately good at two genres of games, and those are RTS/Tycoon games and Adventure games (but then again, it's difficult to be "bad" at adventure games, really. :P).

I'm even bad at those! :)

I tend to play fighting games on their hardest difficulty, with the exceptions of BlazBlue and Virtua Fighter. Those games probably have the steepest learning curve for me, and when playing friends I always dominate, but online I'm more or less an intermediate player. :P

I'm an all-round decent player, I can pick up on games quickly no matter what they are, except for RTS and puzzle games. I never play RTS because I don't have the patience for them, and puzzle games frustrate me because well, they're boring. :P

I'm so bad at games I even get game overs on the games menu screen, nah just kidding that only happen once which yesterday on Prince of Persia Sands of Time, funny thing I wasn't trying to glitch it either. Anyway I'd reckon I'd be between an Average Player or Above Average Player, As far as Online goes I can't ever seem to beat anybody.

Well having started on UT and Quake, I'm pretty good at Arena FPS on the PC, but I'm a little above average on newer FPS games like CoD/BF on the Ps3/X360. I'm pretty solid on RPGs, RTS and Racing games, but I'm VERY average at Footie/Soccer games.

start out normal, with time go to hard/very hard

I play games for enjoyment, which is to say I usually always play on normal difficulty. I can hold my own and COULD finish a game on hard, but its more frustrating than it's worth. I really don't play MP competitively and prefer co-op. Games are first and foremost about fun, all I need to have that is to be able to have the skill to complete them at default settings.

I almost always play a game through on hard or bump the difficulty up whenever I can. If the hardest is unlocked at the beginning, I'll always do that with shooters. Hack and slash games I usually work my way up with, I start on normal and eventually play on the harder difficulties.

Although I'm terrible at RTS games so I never really try those on harder difficulties.

I am a platforming beast. There is no platformer I cannot handle. I tend to do well with roleplaying games as well but if you have enough time to sink into them anyone can be good at those. Everything else I am kind of meh...except FPS games at which I am the worst.

I'm good at some games, and others I just suck at. It's pretty weird, because replaying some games it seems I was better at them when I was younger...

Pretty average.

Sometimes average+ other times average-.

Don't really feel i suck bad, unless it's my first time with some really unknown game to me.

It's kind of a good spot to be in i guess, but sometimes i wished i was better, especially online but since my friends don't really best me there i'm happy we are all on an even playing field.

I never play on the hardest setting. Its far more fun and better paced to play on the normal difficulty level.

I am pretty bad, I have no rhythm and I am just too lazy to learn all the combos in games such as God of War or Ninja Gaiden... And even though I love my rpgs, I am not much of a deep player there either, too lazy to learn all the leaves required for the cat or dog potion and all that. I just pick things up, press different potions and see if I can make them or not, I don't plan very much.

3D Fighting - Good (DoA, Tekken, SC)
2D Fighting - Average (MvC3) or Terrible (SF, MvC2)
Shmups/Bullet Hell - Good
Action FPS - Excellent (CoD, Halo)
Tactical FPS - Terrible (SOCOM, BF)
WRPG - Terrible
JRPG - Average (Star Ocean) or Excellent (FFXIII)
Racing - Average
Sports - Good (FIFA) or Poor (WWE)
Platformer - Excellent
Hack n' Slash - Excellent (NG, Bayonetta, DMC, MH)
Stealth - Good (MGS)

So... on average... Average.

RPGs- Is it possible to suck at RPGS?

alienlegion

Yes it is. I am a living example of massively sucking at RPGs. I've never finished an RPG because I can never 'grind' enough to get pass a certain boss, save for Final Fantasies VII,XIII, Dissidiaand Fallout 3.

I'm horrible at fighting games. Everything else I'm pretty decent at. I used to be really good but I think my reflexes are slowing down as I get older :(

I think I'm good at racing games. The rarest trophy I've got is for taking a Nissan GT-R around the Nurburgring, with hard racing tires, in less than 7:29 in GT5. I didn't think it was really that hard, but only 2.6% of the people at Playfire.com ever got that one (For comparison, 34% platinumed Uncharted). And considering what a hardcore fanbase GT5 has, that's pretty surprising. I always turn all driving aids off and set the AI to its hardest difficulty when I start any racing game.

With shooters, action adventure, hack 'n' slash, I guess I'm "good". I dunno, I've beat several games on their hardest difficulty in order to get the platinum, so I guess I don't suck too bad.

I'm not much for online, but I seem to be about average out of the players who actually know what they're doing I guess.

Good at single player in most genres, besides fighitng and sports. Pretty decent at multiplayer, though it depends on what it is.

Never use walkthroughs! Only for very annoying achievements lol.

I'm a noob and I play games on the easiest setting most of the time, although things like the Call Of Duty Series, and Medal Of Honor I have completed on the most difficult levels (though MOH was not a challenge on any of the levels really, and that's coming from a noob lol)

Online fps i'm pretty good, sp i'm pretty meh

I play base on type of game i am playing

all CoD games i play on hardest, to make the Gameplay go from 6-8 hours to SO MUCH MORE, and have better feeling after beating it. So if i know the game is short it best to put on highest diffuclty it will last you alot longer, with sweeter experiance.

If you know the game is super longer.... normal difficutly, or hard epenading if it Elder Scrolls/Fallout. the real question is how deep i am interested in the story or concept of game compare to how fast i want to beat it.

I am alright, it all depends, i get my moments of fame here and their, but i do have bad days or feel like laying it back and relaxing.

I'm decent.

Shooters- above average

RPG- Really above average

Racing- average, mabey even below

MMO(PvP)- Alot above average, 4th place team as monk in gw 100k tournament

RTS- Below Average

Platformer- Average

RPG: Hardest Difficulty
Shooter: Hardest Difficulty
Puzzle: Hardest Difficulty
Adventure: Hardest...
RTS: Hardest
Strategy: Hardest
Need I go on: Hardest everything :3
Random Game Challenges: Hardest ones I can find or think up :3

and anyone who thinks CoD is hard ( any of them ) seriously needs to play other games :/

I feel there is no purpose in playing a game in which I do not challenge myself in. I'm not playing to collect game art, simply put.

Pretty average. Better than most of my friends but I'm only exceptional at Quake Wars and Gears 2

It varies. If the Normal mode is manageable, I might try Hard. My biggest accomplishment in that respect is beating Halo: Reach on Legendary.

I tend to be not-so-good at multiplayer in FPSs, since in single player, I play in a calculated and precise way, and my reactions often aren't fast enough in multiplayer.

I'm average ialways play on Normal.
