The way I see it, video games are for my enjoyment, I'll play them how I want to and I won't go out of my way to be competitive, don't get me wrong I don't like losing the whole time but for me I'd just choose fun over the ability to say i'm the greatest and suffer the pressures of that.
This is why I'm not a big fan of achievements/trophies on the respective systems and why I'm mainly a wii player, I just always felt that with these other systems you feel the need to be competitive, I always found I was treated differently if my score was lower or didn't have an achievement/trophy others did. It puts too much pressure on the player and takes some of the fun away in my view.
But then thats just me, I'm the same in life, just not that competitive, I understand that some people enjoy the challenge or finding an opponent worthy of besting, I do too sometimes when it comes to games I'm good at but generally I'd rather be ok at everything and enjoy it for what it is.
My only strengths compared to my friends are rpg's, tactical type games and Brawl because I'm decently good at it from my complete overplaying of it xD
Think thats the lengthiest first post i've ever made ^^
