Are you actually good at gaming?

Out of the examples of games the OP listed
Halo - soloed on legendary with ease, do pretty well in MP
CoD - finished all on hardest, got far in zombies and do well in MP
Never played god of war
Portal - finished both, did advanced chambers, pretty much solved the co-op puzzles myself
Also finish pretty much all my games on the highest difficulties with a few exceptions (WET because I already had to play each level like 7 times each and AvP human on nightmare because it's a boring campaign after the first level)
Yeah I'd say I do pretty well in games.
Kinda need to since my biggest pet peeve in games is when people can be the highest level/rank and are terrible or just don't know anything about the game they spent days playing to level up.

I'm pretty bad at most games and really horrible at platformers.
I just don't get the jumping from one thing to another, if in any game there is a hole. I will manage to fall in it.

Difficult to say. Most of my time gaming is spent in single player modes, or playing on my own, so I can't really measure it too well, and compare it with how other people do. I can beat most games, given time, on their hardest difficulties, and get the majority of the achievements on offer. When I'm online, I suppose I'm fairly average.
I'm quite good at games such as Fallout and Borderlands but I'm absolutely crap at driving games...
"They tell me I'm as useless as a stripper with no booty, my friend I'm inclined to agree, because I suck at Call of Duty"
That song sums me up well
I'm not great, about 32,000 points on my xbox account, not obtained from skill but rather playing a LOT of games, badly! I do enjoy them so I will doggedly stick to them and beat them though. Online gaming is often a dying simulator for me!

I've played FPS for ages, and currently trouncing on CoD, were I hold a 4.7KD just messing around.
In RPG games I usually do good (better in Oblivion that Fallout, took me only 2 days to beat Oblivion in hardest).
I'm a competent racer, last game I played was GT5: prologue, which I hated (after getting to rank A races (too boring), and before that NFS:MW, which I bet easily)
I'm learning how to play DoTA-esque games, I'd call myself mediocre at it.
Good/Great at Strategy games.
Mediocre at rhythm games (rockband)
I got 'Singstar' once in said game.
Overall I'd say I'm a talented gamer, with a strength in FPS.

I'm slightly above average at FPS games and racing games. I have my moments where I do awesome, but doesn't everyone? Outside of those two styles of game I range from below average to "Dude, you should just uninstall the game" level.
But, I enjoy almost every game I play. Including the ones I'm awful at. Like Starcraft, where I'm pretty sure I hold a record for fastest time to be completely annihilated.
For some reason when I'm between the states of slightly drunk and rather drunk, my skill level at most games seems to increase tenfold. (for those wondering, that's somewhere between 3 and 6 shots of whisky).
Getting a marksman headshot worth ~150 points (+kill and headshot points on top of that) in BC2 when the screen is looking kind of wobbly is one of my greatest achievements to date. It was one of those beautiful drag shots. the kind where you just drag your aim across and fire when it feels right.

Play to enjoy, mostly. Sometimes turns a bit obsessive - just about finished a no-slow run of FEAR. Only 'good' at older FPSs though but in the global scale of skill, probably pretty shit.
Would play online, but being a mute doesn't go over well with others, and the attitude of many onliners is disrespectful, elitist, arrogant and humourless, if not screechily underage.

I'm proud to say I suck at gaming. I never get high scores, usually the first one to get killed in any multi-player game, etc. I don't spend a lot of time playing computer games, it's a waste of life. I'd rather use my computer to enhance my ability to learn something, ie, right now I'm learning the guitar, tons of helpful sites and videos out there. I figure within 2-4 years I should be pretty good at it. Or I could spend 2-4 years on the Call of Duty series and be the best Sniper for a computer game....
I'll stick with the guitar.

i'm pretty good at most the games i've invested time in. not to good with fps/third person shooters on consoles tho, but that's mostly because i don't play to much console and my aim is crap. (i still do ok tho, atleast the cod games when i tryed them on xbox since i've plyed the shit out of them on pc and map knowledge helps a lot.)
i'm not good at games i havent played a lot of though, such as driving games. (unless it's CTR, mario kart or diddy kong racing)

I suck at Black Ops multiplayer, on the PS3. Yet I am decent at Team Fortress 2 on the PC. And I'm not much of a PC gamer (can't get past the first dungeon in Daggerfall).
I think it's safe to say that I can beat any game singleplayer campaign on the Normal difficulty, except fighting/racing(I don't own any games from these categories, mostly because I don't like them). But playing on the hardest setting like some people do? No way. Only if it's a game I play a lot, like Bethesda's and Bioware's RPGs.
Regarding multiplayer, I'm just average. Can't get a K/D too high on FPS but also don't suck. When it comes to RTS I really suck though. When I'm building a "Barracks" I'm attacked by a massive army and lose. Things like that made me abandon Starcraft 2 multiplayer.

Depends on the game. I have not lost at Soul Calibur since the second game came out. On SC4, I took on all challengers at kitacon and ripped them apart one after the other, It just clicks with me. That being said there, are games I enjoy that I am 7 kinds of terrible at; I suck hard on anything that involves driving, or racing, and while I love RPG's, and FPS's i could not describe myself as above average (except on Halo 2, was king lol).
I'm usually very good at less realistic FPS games. Less good at TPS games. The combination of realism and TPS is my mortal enemy.
The only game I sucked hard at was "APB Reloaded", I played it for over a month and still had my ass handed to me two matches out of three. The highest kill amount I had was 13 or was it 11? Can't quite remember. That's that realistic TPS combo, plus there were many haxx0rz, can't know for sure how many, but many (around 200 banned weekly on Patriot).
I'm also not particularly good at RTS games in an old-school sense of a word, but that's probably because I hate them. I hate that pointlessly constant base building, which makes the initial five to ten minutes of each mission incredibly repetitive. More into tactical real-time strategies, especially those with wargame elements, like "King Arthur" for example.
Other than that I play every single player game on the hardest difficulty, because playing against computer is usually a breeze compared to playing against a human opponent.

I'm decent but I'm nowhere near the top ha ha, my gaming prowess seems to make me unbeatable on some days and make me eat dirt the next, you just never know.
