 my problem with console gaming is that a lot of games often requires more speed schemes than PC games do. I am was never good at remembering or guessing buttion combos, PC games don't require as much button speed pressing


I am fairly new to console gaming since I grew up on PC. So as far as console gaming goes, here is my current skill sets.

 my play skill is vary low because It is harder for me to play consoles games then it is for me to play on PC.

4: American Football Games
5: 2D Platform Jumping games
6: Fighting Games

Interesting thread, I grew up playing arcade games at my local venue besides my parents buying a NES home-console as a kid. I prefer reflex, memorization, puzzle, score-based games, limiting the arcade token coin intake! I never was a serious PC gamer, the only few computer games I've played (besides arcade ports) were strategy games such as Starcraft, Warcraft, Age of Empires, Command and Conquer and occasionally Tribes. Also was never a fan of the 3D transition of platform games and collecting items games that were primarily on Home Consoles, they are tiresome to me. 

Least Skilled
1: Sandbox
2: Stealth Games
3: Vehicle simulation
4: Sport Games
5: First-Person Shooter
6: 3D Platform

Most Skilled
1: Fighting
2. 2D Platform
3: Shoot'em up
4: Puzzle
5: Music/Rhythm
6: Brawler

I am incredibly, amazingly bad at first person games. Something about that camera system just does not jive with my brain. If it's a slower paced puzzly-type thing, I can usually get through it (I did finish Portal), but FPS and such? Not gonna happen. It's funny, becuase if you look at my achievements on 360, it says I beat Halo 3 on Legendary. Truth is, my fiancé and his brother beat Halo 3 on Legendary- my job was to stay just out of combat range and act as a spawn point.

I also don't like tank controls- I can play through those, I just don't so I'm bad from lack of experience. It just feels awkward to me. I can only think of one tank control game I really enjoyed off the top of my head- ironically, it's Jumping Flash. Which is also first person, so you'd think I'd really hate it- but I guess the two together work for me? I dunno.

My best games are 2D platformers (like any good gamer raised in the 80s), Beat 'em ups (I used to be able to beat Streets of Rage with my feet), and rhythm games (very relaxing, just tap along to the beat. Usually, anyway.) I also enjoy shmups, but I can't rightly say I'm good at them.

Least skilled would be strategy games, specifically for the strategy part.  Like I can play them alright, but I'm not someone who will take the time to plan everything out.  Much more straightforward kind of person.  Tried to get back into these abit ago with Grey Goo and other types, but I can only be alright with more tactical strategy games and less about city building and planning and all that.

Fighting games would be another, like I can do the basics, but the time investment needed to be even just "good" or "okay" is enormous.  I just play them casually for fun and usually the characters.

Racing games might be another, at least anything requiring realistic handling and such.  I tend to prefer arcade or cart racers since I don't want to realistically slow down for corners lol  I'll just chuck in sports games for the heck of it since I don't play them at all.

For what I'm "skilled" at, I'm usually pretty good with First Person Shooters.  I started with console games shooters, late 90's/early 00's, but around 2004 I got my own gaming PC and could do stuff like Counter-Strike and Battlefield 1942.  FPS games are probably some of my most played games overall and a lot of my favorite series are FPS games.  I can hold my own in them usually.

I'm actually really not good at most games.  I suck at FPSs.  I'm terrible at racing games.  I'm horrid at shooters.

On the flip side of that, I will profess to being a PLATFORMING GOD!  I am really, really good 2D platformers.  It's because that's what I like the most and I've spent years playing. 

I'm also pretty good at basketball, golf, action games.
