What genres are you the best at?

[Wolf Kanno]

So what gaming genres do you consider yourself to be pretty really good in?

I like to think I'm good RPGs Rhythm Games, and action titles. I'm pretty decent with Fighting games and puzzle titles as well.

[Araciel]

Minesweeper

I'm kinda good at shooters. Some matches I'm abysmal, some matches I perform phenomenally. It's all about mood, getting into a groove, and who I'm playing against, but I think I'm pretty good.

RTS games are really tough, but I'm pretty quick to get up to speed with the meta game and maximizing my APM.

JRPGs I'm good with sinking my teeth into the number system and optimizing characters, but I'm not sure if single player games are where this topic's at.

Turn-based strategy. Grand strategy. Real time strategy. 4X.

Strategy in general.

[Shorty]

RPGs, almost exclusively. Pretty decent at shooter games. I am terrible at fighting games, racing games and puzzle games.

[Loony BoB]

I don't even know, as the games I tend to enjoy most rarely require incredible amounts of skill - or at least, if they do, I don't notice. Either that makes me someone who generally sucks, or it makes me someone who finds things effortless.

I feel like I'm average at all kinds of games, really. I don't like PvP much so it's seriously hard to tell what I'm great at. Any game I've played PvP with generally can end up varying almost every time, sometimes I'm really good after a while and then the next game I'll be terrible, sometimes I'll go up and down like crazy from MVP to MUP (Muppet/Most Useless Player) almost every other game.

Single player games, though - too hard to know what I'm good at and what I'm not. Can you really be bad at JRPGs, adventure games, etc? I don't know. RTS I enjoy and seem to be able to finish campaigns on. Same for TBS and 4X. I feel this makes me competent, I'm not sure about 'great'.

I can't play Fighter/Racer games for long enough to get good, though. Not since the original Hot Pursuit, anyway.

Pretty much. I am across the board mediocre at video games.

Can you really be bad at JRPGs, adventure games, etc? I don't know.

If you play Persona 3/4, and claim that games are 'cheap' or 'fake hard' then you are bad at JRPG's.

[Pete for President]

Flight combat games are where I shine most. I used to be almost unbeatable in HAWX.

Other than that I'm pretty decent at FPS, RPG's and platformers. Fighting, racing and RTS games are definitely not my speciality.

[Raistlin]

RPGs, turn-based strategy, and puzzle games, probably. I'm also ok at RTS, and I used to be decent at fighting games.

[Laddy]

RPG's, strategy games, and fighting games are my specialty.

[Pheesh]

Sports games, Guitar Hero and to a lesser extent fighting games.

[Fynn]

I am awesome at Rhythm games and action RPGs. I would say RPGs in general, but I suck at metagame stuff, so I will beat a game, usually with no problem at all, but when there is a competetive aspect, I suck.

Persona 3 is actually pretty fake-hard. Of course, I still beat it. Just because I'm perceptive enough to notice when games are poorly designed doesn't mean I'm not good at the genre. P4 isn't as fake-hard because it at least lets you not have to rely entirely on AI patterns in a tight situation. There's nothing in either of those games that require skill at a high level. The base mechanics are actually very simple. It's all about how much time you feel like spending on grinding (including slink grinding) and/or playing around with persona fusion.

When it comes to games that require actual skill though, I'd say Ninja Gaiden is a pretty strong contender. I suck at that those games but I play them anyway. I'm not too bad at certain fighting games either, but I'm not really anywhere near the top. I guess I am probably best at action RPGs, where I can combine good reflexes and my tactical/strategic sense to create good skill and gear setups.

I am also pretty good at FPS games, but not team-based FPS games. I'm not a good team player in situations with lots of pressure and adrenaline.
