Above average at most competitive multiplayer games. I can be pretty bad when it comes to single player game puzzles and I'm not very good at Rockstar games, dying in them a lot.

yeah this probably shouldn't have been a poll. then again, polls are fun!
EDIT: i mean like its a pretty complicated question; everyone has games they are good at and ones they suck at. maybe this is more useful as a barometer of self-esteem or something
I am probably not the most naturally gifted video game player but there are a few games (the games that require planning and strategery) that I am probably better at than most but I am still pretty average when dumped into a new situation. In saying that I will stick with a game until I become good at it. For example, in Trials Evolution, I am trying to get a gold medal on all the tracks. For the most part, I can do so with a little practice on the course but can few times obtain a gold on the first run.
Nah, not really. I can be good. I've been exceptionally good at various games in the past, but I think now most of the time I just don't care enough to be good.
So I'm going to say "Yes" with the caveat that I rarely care enough to be good.
Honestly probably not really. I can beat most any game and I'm the best out of my friends. But competitively? Nah. I'm just kinda decent at all games, but excel at none. Unless I put in a crazy amount of time into it. But I feel like everyone is good at any one game of they play the fuck out of it
It depends on the game. I would go as far as to say that I am generally very good at RPGs. Every RPG I have played in the last 2 years I have played on the hardest difficulty. I also was in platinum league in Starcraft 2 but when it comes to shooters I am complete shit.
Good enough to complete nearly any game on normal difficulty. I could probably beat harder difficulties on many games but I rarely bother.
Competitively I would say I'm squarely average. I don't play online much but when I do I don't do absolutely terribly in most games. I'm best at fighters and FPS and worst at RTS.
Before I started getting into StarCraft II, I probably would have said the genre I perform the worst at is RTS games however because I stuck with it, I managed to get into diamond league. I think if anyone truly wants to get better at a competitive game, they can do so; it just requires the time commitment.
I usually start better than average, but I have a really slow curve afterwards. Mostly because I don't spend nearly as much time on a single game as some people do. I just don't really care enough.
I suck at most competitive games. I can get stuck on a puzzle in a Lego game. I have lost to the AI in numerous RTS games. I can't really do much beyond Hard difficulty on Rock Band. I can tank well enough in WoW.
Honestly, I'm probably not that good a gamer. But its not going to stop me from playing them :D
I think I am alight, I use cheats and walkthroughs for most single-player games, I always achieve above a 1.1 ratio in multi-player games. I'm not competitive but I have fun :)
I'm pretty good at games. I try to at least be above average at most games I play. That probably makes me an asshole or something but whatever. There are a couple games I suck at but still enjoy playing, like SC2 and pretty much any fighting game.
Started playing at 5, so 21 years later I know a thing or two. Though I'll admit, I much prefer beating single player games on hard over the course of a month than going online regularly because I just don't have the time anymore to keep up.
First gaming experience was an isometric game involving a big pixelated lizard and gorilla trying to kill each other and a game called Sidewinder...I guess all those years of gaming made me somewhat adept at gaming. Not good at sports games though...
Usually after every Shogun 2 multiplayer game, team mates are thanking me for advising them in how to win. This is because I am very skilled.
As you can see in this video 11: 33, this is not just the greatest flank in a video game, it is probably the greatest flank in history. His gatlin gun becomes distracted by horses and I totally destroy him with my skills.
I'm alright, I can beat most games on hard but I don't have the patience for a lot of new game+ style challenges, like the Dark World in Super Meat Boy or Dead Space 2 with only 2 saves. If I played Starcraft I'd be upper tier Bronze or low level SIlver.
Games rarely stump me in singleplayer and I tend to be decent in most multiplayer games. Any RTS or fighting games are where I start to suck.
I tend to not like to stick to one game for very long, so I rarely get extremely good on one game. Instead, I'm a little above average on a wide number of them.
I'd guess above average, but for the amount of time I put in, I don't think I'm that good. I can kick ass at Tetris, hold my own in a game of Halo, get through most games on normal mode without too much of a fuss, but playing particularly difficult games or going up against people in most very competitive game environments, I usually fall down.
