Aww! You beat me! or: What game(s) are you just really good at?
 
Do you guys have any specific games where if you and anyone else played some multiplayer you would just tear them up?

For me it's Gears for the most part. I've been known to lose some matches to ol' Jim and "Campin' Max" (birdman) but I mostly blame my endless cockiness and the urge to just get a sniper headshot for every kill. For the most part, Gears is my specialty. I'm still decent at other games, but nothing amazing.

So what game out there is your specialty?

No, no, I really am better than you.

I also pick Gears of War; when I really want to, I can do very well consistently. I can't claim that in other online games.

It's true, when you care you can play nasty... but you never care when we play together. :(

It's for the best.

Multiplayer games? I am (read: was) really good at MotoGP for Xbox. By really good, I mean I was ranked #8 when the game became glitched and all of the top players, including myself, stopped playing. That's the last game I really played competitively.

I also played Ghost Recon (the original) religiously, and was pretty good at it. The team I played for did very well. The original SOCOM was another game I was absurdly good at. However, I stopped playing before scoreboards even worked, so I can't tell you how I compared.

Currently, the only game I'm really good at is Call of Duty 4, and I argue that's just because everyone else sucks. But in the 7 days of gameplay I've put in (6 during Xmas break, barely touch it except between semesters), I completely dominate almost every game I'm in. I've managed to lead rooms playing only with claymores. It's sad, but I picked it up a couple weeks ago and still led the rooms. That's why I think other people just suck.

However, aside from MotoGP, the games I am really good at are single player. Crazy Taxi mini-games were always a specialty of mine, still hold a world record in one of those, and close to most. I also am ranked 2nd, last time I checked, in 18 Wheeler. Played Monkey Ball Banana Blitz too much for my own good, and was ranked 2nd when I stopped playing. Still believe I'm in the top 5 despite new players having the benefit of watching all of our old techniques.

I was insanely good at Killzone for the PS2 at one point. That's probably my most played online game ever.

gekko, you're a little too good! that's crazy.

flunkie, you're probably pretty excited for Killzone 2 huh?

I thought I was relatively good at Brawl but my matches with BaB have caused me to rethink that stance. ;-)

However, when it comes to 4 vs. 4 matches in WarCraft 3, I'm a total domination station. My team always wins!

Aladuf 06-02-2008 01:36 AM

Re: Aww! You beat me! or: What game(s) are you just really good at?
 
lol, anyone can beat BaB. I beat his ass those few times. :D

I rocked hard at StarCraft before the Koreans go a hold of it.

Mario Kart. I think I only had 4 total losses on Mario Kart DS. The SNES version? Nobody could ever touch me on that.

Mario Golf. I played the N64 version and GBC consecutively all summer one time. I love Mario Golf games to death.

..and Turok. :D But everybody knows they tuned Inhuman difficulty to me. Aww yeah.

Re: Aww! You beat me! or: What game(s) are you just really good at?
 
I don't really know how good I am at games. I know I can kick my friends' asses in Perfect Dark and Golden Eye. I know I'm a decent sniper in Team Fortress 2.
I used to be a decent Warcraft 3 player. Not in the top, but almost in the middle class.

But I suck with Super Smash Bros. :(

It's not my fault your tactics suck against mine.

Mario Kart. im untouchable. especially on the DS version. well over 1000 wins, most my loses came from when i played at work and had to leave early or got disconnected from the bad internet connection there.

Doctor Mario. im the Wizz, nobody beats me! (nuff said)


most fps games on PC, Quake 3, CSS, Team Fortress.

CoD 4, I kick mucho ass. Only on hardcore modes, the others are just too annoying.

I was getting pretty good with the scout on TF2. When I say pretty good I mean 20-0 while on gravel pit defence good. GO SCOUT!!!!!!!!!

Well good thing the Wii has both of those games.
Maybe you can show your skills.

If you think I'm good. You should probably go one on one with Bluefire. You may consider selling your Wii at that point and hiding in the mountains. :lolz:

Again, I believe it was only once and it was after like a week straight of you playing against me to get better.

As for actual games, there are a few.
I dominated and I mean dominated in Mario Tennis went over half a year undefeated. Also where got the nickname Gaming God.

Ask half of Wrassle-Age on GAF who the king of Smackdown vs Raw is and there can only be one answer. I've made Aladuf sell the game twice. :p

sure have. downloaded it right away.

17-0

a couple have been close though because i got carried away creating combos i didnt realize i had fallen behind. so had to drop down all the combos and win quickly. :)

Nice. How do you like Virus Buster? I find it's the perfect sit-lazily-down-and-play version because it's one-handed.

Re: Aww! You beat me! or: What game(s) are you just really good at?
 
I am a savante at Virtua Fighter 4 stand-up arcade. When I say savante, I mean it. I can't be beaten and never have been. The first time I ever played I was in Dave and Busters, loaded off my ass, and no one could knock me off the thing. I would conservatively estimate that when playing with the "monk" avatar (don't even know his name) my opponents only got in offense half of the time.

It's an out of body experience. I don't so much play the game, as I dance with the joystick and make love to the buttons. Its organic and sensual in its intuitiveness. I know no "moves" in Virtua Fighter 4 stand-up arcade, only the fluidity and immortality of the shaolin.

On a console? I'm rubbish.

I am quite good at Halo 2.

-Hot Shots Golf (since HSG3, although I haven't yet even PLAYED Out of Bounds. a round of -24 on the PSP version would be a highlight.)

-Madden NFL (When I lived in residence I was undefeated head-to-head and I embarassed the guy who said he never lost the year before. Don't play with people I dont know online though, too many cheap tactics).

Mario Kart 64. At one point I was pretty good at Counter-Strike, before STEAM. I also used to rock at Team Fortress Classic.

I'd say CoD4, I guess. DMC4's what I'm best at, but that's single-player.

Aladuf 06-02-2008 07:45 PM

Re: Aww! You beat me! or: What game(s) are you just really good at?
 
So many people saying that they're good at COD4, I think there needs to be some 1 vs. 1 matches between them!

I think I'm pretty good at brawl. The online lag kills me sometimes, but I can still hold my ground.

Hmmm, we should have a round of Brawl some time.

1 v 1 are terrible. Mostly camping...... Hardcore team death match and hardcore search and destroy. No HUD, no RADAR, no grenade indications, no ammo meter. Bare bones just you and the iron sights. Beautiful.

I've heard this before, I'm not good enough, or play enough of COD4 to worry about 1 vs. 1 matches but my little brother played one once and he said that his opponent just camped the whole match with claymores surrounding his area. Sounds very fun :rolleyes:

Renwood 06-02-2008 08:26 PM

Re: Aww! You beat me! or: What game(s) are you just really good at?
 
Gears of War lends itself to one-on-one. Many games' maps are too large to make it worthwhile. F.E.A.R. had a few good ones.

Aladuf 06-02-2008 08:27 PM

Re: Aww! You beat me! or: What game(s) are you just really good at?

can't wait for P.O. :D

I know! Every game needs to have theater modes like Halo 3 has where I can save footage. I pray that Gears 2 has it, but I've gotten some nasty shots in COD4 before that leave me wanting a film saver, especially last night when I got an awesome shot.

Speaking of Brawl, I saw a used copy tonight when I was at Gamestop. I think I may pick it up on Wednesday! :D
