Do you find that you excel in a particular game genre?
Re: Do you find that you excel in a particular game genre?
I'm probably best at large scale strategy games like Europa Universalis II, Rome Total War, and Civ III. Understanding the big picture is very easy for me and I can tell where momentum is among the other factions in the game and how best to exploit their weaknesses.

I'm a pretty well rounded gamer, however, I am absolutely terrible in most fighting games.
Too bad, because they're awesome.

I'm probably best at cinematic platformers...
Re: Do you find that you excel in a particular game genre?
It's probably more of a meta-genre than a proper genre but for some reason if you put a Giant Mecha in it, I can play.
- I suck at first person shooters. I rock the house at Gundam 0079 Side Story, a first person shooter with you as a mech pilot.
I am terrible at 3rd Person Shooters. I cannot get enough Armored Core.
With very few exceptions, SRPG's bore me. But Front Mission is the straight goods.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I'm really good at point-n-click graphic adventures. The secret is to look up the solution on the internet.

I can beat every 3D platformer in existence that I've ever played, without very much trouble (even Jak 2), and I've never met a 16-bit RPG I couldn't beat with ease.
On the flip side, I've never been too good at RTS and TBS games, even though I love those genres.
