How "skilled" are you at video games?

In your genre of choice, obviously.

Which games do you excel at?

Which games, that try as you might, can you just not seem to grasp?

Personally, I seem to do well im most FPSes and racers.

However, still to this day I barely make it past the first couple of levels of most platformers.

Now U.

Depends on the genres,but these days I think,going by your poll,probably above average.

On twitch FPS´s I´m actually fairly good at them,also RTS´s like Starcraft 2 or Supreme Commander and sim racers like iRacing,GTR,Race 07,among others,all of those as far as MPm is concerned.

Most of the other genres I think above average.

Fighting games on the other hand I´m god awful lol.

Not very, nor can I be bothered to put the effort in to get good at most games.soulitane

Well obviously practice helps, but I'm really talking about games that you just "get".

As soon as I learned the base mechanics, I was pretty damn good at RTS games, even as a kid.

i'm good at platformers and RPGs. for the love of Gosh i can not improve my game in the fighting genre. Games like 3rd Strike and skill girls, i want to play very well but i'm fingers act all wonkey. i' have my moments once and i while tho. i guess i just have to practice more :x

I'm not good in FPS games though.TheGuardian03

yea i'm have trouble with that genre also and it only got worse when i built my gaming rig. the KB/M is just so awkward

I guess slightly above average. I don't really care to be anything more

I can beat various games on hardest difficulties if that counts.

I also beat Dark Souls.

Same here. I own Street Fighter but have no idea what I'm doing half the time. More often than not, I end up mindlessly bashing buttons in the hopes that I pull of something amazing.

Fighters require a lot of time and dedication to master but it's just a genre I'm not interested in investing that much effort into.

I also beat Dark Souls.

I would have gotten Dark Souls at this stage but quite frankly, I'm too scared.

Fighting games, FPS, 3rd Person Shooters, Platformers, RPG's, RTS, and Action-Adventure...are my top genres.

I'm pretty skilled. My biggest love though was Fighting games and that tourney movement in the 90's.

My sig confirms my completion rate on at least two of my platforms I game on.

Oh, not at all.

I can get the top score in COD4 deathmatch on a good day, but other than that I'm useless in MP. And I've never got all the achievements in any game.

At least when I beat Demon's Souls I can say I did that, but playing Royal was honestly Easy Mode.

I don't consider myself to be particularly great, but I guess I'm above average.

pretty skilled, have been in a few CS clans.

Skilled? Eh. Ive beaten my fair share of "difficult" games I suppose. Ghouls n Ghosts, Black Tiger, Contra, Castlevania, some maniac shmups etc. People seem to really complain about how difficult games like Demons and Dark Souls are nowadays yet I breezed through them. I have my strengths and weaknesses. Im absolutely atrocious at competitive FPS games though. TPS Im great in but FPS? I cant keep up.

probably about a 5-6 overall. 6 at most fighting games. 8 for platformers. 2-3 for console FPS. 5 for PC FPSs and RPGs and action games. 4 at RTSs. 6 at TBS. 9 for SSBM.

i play all genres and master them and take what i learn to other games and genres to be better it's a simple process really

When it comes to MP, I typically like to improve myself as much as possible if I like the MP game enough. So I guess generally I'd say I'm skilled but nothing amazing. Usually I have my great games, my good games, and my horrible ones.

When it comes to single player, ehhh, I'm okay I guess, it really varies on the game. BUt I supposed I'm skilled to a degree here as well, generally speaking.

Overall, I'd say I'm 6-7 when it come sto being skilled. Although for the sake of an e-peen boost I suppose I'll pick 7-8 on the poll.

Above average. i would say.

Multiplayer wise, it depends of the game. Im not a good player of fast paced games like CoD. In Bad Company 1 and 2, on the other hand, i used to be one of the best. Unfortunatly Battlefield 3 is basically an open world CoD game, so im not very good at it.

Im a better coop player than competitive though. In coop games like L4D2 and horde mode, im usually the best player.

Simgle player wise, i like to beat my games in the hardest difficulties (Mass Effect on insanity, Halo on legendary, Skyrim on master, etc...)

i rate average in most genres but in guildwars i am an alliance battling machine. folks.. give wide berth to an dervish or monk you see in AB, i will run you down.

i also have mild skill in online rts's but im far from one of those ridiculously skilled macro masters. beyond that i give myself a 7-5.5 in every other genre.

I'm about average i play most games on Normal.

I, honestly, play every game on easy on my first playthrough, and If I replay it I might go for a higher dificulty, so it's it's not hard to be good :P

I 100%'ed Meat Boy !

Well I learn/adapt to a game quickly due to my enormous experience playing video games, but I don't think I have ever mastered a game, in general I would say 7-8.

Speed running isn't my thing though, which is basically the end game for most SP games. Oh yeah and high scores, I don't see the point in doing such things.

I did start a no raccoon-suit run on 3DL, I recommend that because that way you can get the most out of the level design, with the suit you can just breeze through levels.

I'm ace in RPGs, platformers and third person shooters, and average in most other genres.

Average at some, very good at RTS & RPGs, and horrible at others (like online shooters, i don't have the patience).

For my favorite genres like platformers, shoot 'em ups, beat 'em ups, i usually suck at my first playtrough, but as i continue on i memorize the layout of the level and the pattern of the bosses/enemies, thus its a pretty satisfying experience once i complete something that was previously impossible for me. That has its limits though, if i can't beat a boss after 7 times, i completely quit.

At racing games, i don't care how much i loose, its fun racing around and i know i'll get better and win as time goes by.

I'm pretty good at lots of different games. a game which recently had me going "i just can't do this" is try to play SC2 online as Zerg. I just get totally overwhelmed with all the micromanagement and totally forget to keep spawning larvae with my queens and i also suck at remembering to scout and working out what units to build. I could probably get it if i played more but its a lot of time that needs to be dedicated to it. The game is awesome though.

RPGs are what i'd consider myself quite good at i suppose, used to be good with FPS but stopped caring/enjoying the genre so now i suck at any competitive mp FPS.

Maybe its because i'm getting older, but i really don't care how good i am anymore, i play to have fun and aslong as i am i don't care whether i win or lose.

Yeah I'm pretty good in nearly every genre I've played, I can't really explain it but I find gaming natural.

Here are two examples of my skill in two completely different genres for two popular games:

In 2009/2010 I was said to be one of, if not, the greatest Pro Evolution Soccer goal-scorers in the world by the PES community which consisted of both amateurs and professionals of the game alike but damn did I invest a lot of time getting there.

This video is considered the best 2009 video on the internet and all the goals were scored by myself against the highest CPU difficulty all with default, stock settings:

PES 2009 Ultimate Goals

I also in that time set the world record in Road Rage mode on Burnout Paradise which still hasn't been broken:

Burnout Paradise World Record

I'm so skilled I make everyone my b****, even hermits. I walk in and all the noobs and MLGs bow to me and kiss my feet.

Actually im pretty darn amazing. I can press some buttons & have some magical things happen on screen. Bet you never heard of anyone doing that now have you?

I suck at all games, but I try.

I'm good at all games in general especially FPS and racers. But not "skilled to the motherf**king core!". The longer I play a game, the better I get.

I was really skilled on Resistance: Fall of Man, I owned a lot of people on there. :P I'm also very good at Gran Turismo 5, I can go round corners beautifully in fast lap times.

I beat platformers by just jumping.
My skill at playing visual novels is that of an ace attorney's.
In WoW, I press buttons as they light up to DPS bosses like a boss.

[spoiler]

I'm decent at most games.
Don't expect me to pull off God-tier stuff though, especially in RTS' and fighters.

[/spoiler]

I do really well wth SP games regardless of dificulties, but i tend to suck at MP. Actually the only MP games I haven't sucked complete asss at are Halo Reach and Splinter Cell Conviction(I am really good at the latter, though the game itself was meh so...:P)

Back in the day, 1337 but skills have been waning for some time now so umm, these dayzz, I'm not the best in the west nor the least in the east. :P

I would say I am better than 90% of the PC community at BF3, but that is a guess. Could be higher or lower.

I suck at RTS games and Tetris lol, but I am good at just about everything else.

Oh and I used to be pretty good at Uncharted 2 and Tony Hawk, but those kinda dwindled a bit.

non.... i get owned yet do really well....
