My gaming stats

Update: I finished Prime 2! Well, the story mode. I love Spider Ball, was glad when I finally killed that damn boss. Got to the ending and received a nasty shock: 78% complete. That’s right, I just squeaked the good ending. I was aiming for 100% but, I got annoyed with looking so I decided to take down the final bosses (those of you who pay attention and scan everything you come across would have been able to work out the last boss). Its nice to know, though, that when it comes to the 100%, I now know how to kill them and will have alot more in the way of ammo and health. Anyway, on with the post!

Recently I came across a forum thread talking about player weaknesses in gaming (Failing to watch your back, focusing too much in one area, etc) and I’ve decided to go over what I think are my strengths and weaknesses when it comes to gaming.

Real-time strategy:
Strengths: I make a handy decoy / back-up when it comes to team battles, spamming units
Weaknesses: Complete lack of micromanagement and co-ordination

First Person Shooters:
Strengths: Decent critical hit ratio (I have this uncanny ability to score impressive shots with complete flukes), short to medium range
Weaknesses: Sniping, Snipers, have a habit of spending more time looking for ammo than attacking

Role-Playing Games:
Strengths: I go out of my way to look for goodies, Focus on healing
Weaknesses: Don’t like using items, will try to minimize MP/SP/PP usage if possible

Racing games:
Strengths: Can drive for small periods of time while attention is elsewhere (i.e. looking behind)
Weaknesses: Have a habit of misjudging corners, don’t use brake

Sport:
Strengths: Persistant?
Weaknesses: General lack of skill

Platformers:
Strengths: N/A
Weaknesses: General lack of skill

Adventure games:
Strengths: Surviving?
Weaknesses: In Metroidvania games I have a habit of getting lost / forgetting where I’ve looked

Action games:
Strengths: Persistance?
Weaknesses: Spamming moves

Fighting games:
Strengths: Surviving?
Weaknesses: Losing controls

That’s all the genres I can think of
I really need to think these through before putting them up
Oh well, its not like people read them
