Which game are you best & worst at playing?

[Rocket Edge]

Which game do you think are best at playing at? Which genre do you think is your weakness? I mean this in the sense of that you have a genuine talent to play the game that sets you above the average player. Elaborate with statistics, photo's, etc. if you like.

The good for me personally, is probably Tekken. My online rank is Vanquisher with Yoshimitsu which is very high rank, and I've beaten many of the worlds top players in the game. Call of Duty: World at War & Modern Warfare 2 could be considered a not too distant second. My kill/death ratio in the game is well over 2 in the latter, even though World at War is my preferred game of the two.

On the flipside, car games. Could never really get the hold of them. I played a member here online in Wipeout HD and I was getting absolutely destroyed. But regardless I'm talking about the genre in general. Mind you I was addicted to Need for Speed: Underground when I was younger and beat the campaign in that which is no easy feat.

Guitar hero. That's pretty much the only thing I'm well over the average in. Aside from that, I'm slightly better than an average player at tekken, NBA2K and madden. Aside from those, I'm average in most things. If I'm bad at a game I'll usually get to a point where I can play it reasonably well, especially if I've taken the time to rent/buy it.

See I'm a little strange, I'm good at strategy games in single player mode but put me online and because I don't like to rush (I like to build a strong hold point for a base before actually taking ground on a tactical basis reinforcing and moving my line outwards with each area captured. That is unless ofcourse the game is Dawn of War 1 and my army is made of space marines then it's about momentum and just pushing forwards before the enemy forces can re-organise and reproduce their toughest units) I end up getting wiped out early on.

I would say I'm above average on FPS games but I wouldn't say I'm exceptional at them same goes with games like Red Dead Redemption, I have my strong points (riding/driving) but I have weak points too (I am all but useless without using auto lock-on with thrown weapons such as the throwing knife)

I would probably say my strongest online games are racing games because I'm good at driving games in general, too much time spent learning how to whoop my older brother at Gran Turismo 3 I guess.

My worst games online would have to be Guitar Hero because I simply suck at the game in general (I can't progress from medium difficulty on world tour and I can't get past easy on 3)

[Aerith's Knight]

Covy Slayer.

No, but seriously, I do pretty well in most strategy games, same with chess, I beat computers without too much difficulty.

I'm okay at FPS. I'm never bad at them, I've played enough for that, but I'm never that extremely good at them. Adventures I think might be a little better up my alley.

My worst games would have to be the serious type racers. I'm not patient enough to play the same lap 30 times, and hope you don't screw up somewhere. I get annoyed if I have to replay 1 min. of an FPS, let alone 60 min of driving.

[Iceglow]

Covy Slayer.

It's true you're a beast at Covy Slayer for some reason. On terms of actual Halo game types I am probably best at Swat because for some ridiculous reason I can manage a Swat game dying just once when in a normal game of Halo Reach I'd die atleast 4 times.

[Christmas]

I am bad at a lot of games.

Usually I will get an editor or some downloadable contents off the net if I sux at the game. I am a dirty little cheater.

[Madame Adequate]

I'm fairly good at almost all games, but I have real talent for RTS stuff. It doesn't really translate into TBS, where I'm actually a bit crap, idk why but whilst I enjoy them a lot I can never seem to get things actually figured out right, I never play at the level I would in other games. But RTS? God help any and all who oppose me, I am beastly.

But I play very few games enough to really, really excel. I got pretty amazing at Halo 3 early on but I stopped playing and I'm not so hot at it any more - definitely not the equal of Paul which I once was (Probably, we never played together back then xD). I just have too many games which I play to really get great at any of then. I can usually hold my own though.

Games I have been superior at are Red Alert 2, where I was pretty much unstoppable and demonic, I could take on pretty much anything and beat it, and Soul Caliber 2, where I wasn't the 40 victories per defeat horrendous brilliance that I was at RA2, but I was certainly capable and I had a pretty nice W/L spread.

at racers that aren't Rollcage or Wipeout 2097 though. Simply dire.

[VeloZer0]

I'm generally terrible at games. I have really bad co-ordination and dexterity, which translates into poor gameplay. Fighting games are automatically out.

FPS games are all a blow for me, which isn't a huge loss as I don't particularly enjoy them. The only aspect I like (and am good at) is the tactical one, I usually get the drop on people by playing smart and out thinking them. Now if only I was good enough to finish them off before they turned around and killed me

I can't keep up in RTS games, the actions per minute and micro parts (aka the parts that differentiate between decent and good players) just bury me.

Additionally I don't seem to be able to properly conceptualize moving a character in 3D space with a 2D controller input. I can't play just about any modern game and have it feel natural, I'm always running around in circles and getting stuck in corners.

Which leaves RPGs and Sidescrollers. I'm not great at sidescrollers, but I will play any game I like until I get good at it. But that is practice on the specific game, not actual talent.

Which leaves RPGs, the games I am best at. (jRPGs specifically, I can't stand wRPGs). Obviously being 'good' at a jRPG usually has little to do with what you do in actual combat but in analyzing the game and figuring out which characters/skills/gear will yield the best results. Which is one of the few game skills I am good at.

[Vermachtnis]

I pretty good at fighting games. I like using joke characters and not just the lethal kinds all joke characters. They're the most fun.

I suck at RTS and Stealth games and for the same reason. I can't take it slow. Shotguns and rocket launchers should be perfectly suitable for infiltration.

>>> Im the worst at Racing Games, even a 2 year old can beat me..

[Slothy]

Name the genre and I've probably been great at some game in it at some point or another. Some highlights would include: just about any Valve game (the one major exception being CS: Source. I'm usually decent but I've never been great at it), COD4 which I stopped playing because I got to be too good at it (on the PC no less, tough to find enough competition to stay interested), Turok 2 which I was so good at my friends stopped playing with me, Gran Turismo 3, and Soul Calibur 2 which I was pretty much unstoppable at as Mitsurugi. It's one of the few fighting games where I played it so much that I started to be able to read opponents moves consistently just from the start of the animation and react appropriately.

As far as what I'm bad at, I'd say Sports games, largely due to my own lack of interest. I'm not great at Civilization either, but that has more to do with having no interest in sitting down to learn the ins and outs of the games. I enjoy them and all, but they are far too complicated to be worth my time, even as a study of game design since I have no desire to ever design a game that complex.

[Evastio]

Best (and Favourite): Side scrolling platformers, RPGs (grew up on both of them)

Worst (and Unfavourite): FPS (I'm not very good with the controls), Sports (I'm not good at real life sports either)

[Shiny]

I was over a friends house yesterday and she was showing me how to play Rock Band or Guitar Hero; whatever it was. I didn't even attempt because I would probably suck at it. Those little music things you had to do for music class in Bully were hard enough for me as it is. One of them took me over five tries.

Best, I'm not sure, but it's possibly fighting games. I managed to beat people with friggin' slow Bowser who couldn't jump in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Oh wait, stealth games too.

[Bunny]

I'm really bad at fighting games. I usually resort to button mashing because all of the weirdo combinations confuse me and make me flustered.

I'm fairly decent at RPG games, which are difficult to be bad at, and FPS games, so long as I use some sort of long-ranged weapon (i.e. sniper rifle). When I get into close combat situations, the cause is typically lost.

[Rase]

I guess I'd say I'm best at RTS games (specifically AoEIII) and FPS's. I'm pretty sucky at racing sims and most sports games.
