Unless you're a professional gamer who plays for money it doesn't matter how good or bad you are.
Trust me, if you know to push an open flank and how to angle armour, you are better than 90% of the playing population. Dear lord some people in that game make me want to hurt things.wombat_of_war said:right there with you. i didnt think i was amazing at any game really untill i had a few compliments on world of tanks. apparently im in the top 2% of players which says more about how crap the average player is more than any skill on my part. the only difference i have is i know when to runTizzytheTormentor said:The people who claim to be bad-ass at those games would get a furious beat-down if they played against some people online, sounds like your friend needs to go into a match with pros! See his tune change.
I can't think of a game I excel at...
Exactly, being average means you dont feel you have to stick to a particular genre ^_^Therarchos said:Funny thing is. You get all of the fun. You might not be the one everyone thinks is the greatest but you can play anything and have fun because you do not suck at it.
Except those people that try to angle pike nose tanks the wrong way like the IS 3 that is just free exp.Dogstile said:Trust me, if you know to push an open flank and how to angle armour, you are better than 90% of the playing population.

Well you don't have to be "just" average, being good at a lot of games may give you an advantage in any game. But you will probably never be the best at any game.daveman247 said:Exactly, being average means you dont feel you have to stick to a particular genre ^_^Therarchos said:Funny thing is.

but that's the problem. In my case, I am average. I could win a couple of rounds against my friends in any fighting game but they would probably win most of the matches. It probably takes me half an hour to solve a Portal puzzle while my other friends take half of the time to do the same thing. I could try to become good at FPS but my friends would put me to shame unintentionally. So I would say I'm average at most, if not all, of the games I own. I'm not a casual gamer but I don't excel at any game or genre in particular.Therarchos said:Well you don't have to be "just" average, being good at a lot of games may give you an advantage in any game.

Tell that to people who play LoL, DotA, fighters, TF2, MH or CoD. Say you're new to any of those games and watch the hate mail flood in.FalloutJack said:Christ, not this again. Lemme put it on the loud speakers for those guys.
