StaceyPowers Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I wouldn’t say I’m a “bad” gamer, but I’m not really a “good” one either. I suppose I’m pretty mediocre. But as a kid, I was downright terrible, to the point where I didn’t even grasp the appeal of playing. I just watched other people with great interest instead. There were a few games I liked anyway when I was younger, but I still remember the day I was playing Quake III Arena in CTF mode online, and suddenly something “clicked” in my brain, and abruptly, I could fight. I started scoring frags like crazy, and after that, a whole universe of gaming was suddenly accessible and awesome. Anyone else ever have that sort of experience? kingpotato 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Funny enough, I was always good at gaming - especially fps, rpg, and fighting games but it is part of my nature to learn extremely quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra92 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I'm not very good at games that require a lot of precision movement anymore. Once I injured my wrists and hands, I just couldn't do it anymore. Not that I was ever amazing, but I was much better than I am now in the past. So I like to watch people play games I don't think I'd be good at myself these days (mainly shooters and platformers). I'm still good/decent at things that don't require that. Like strategy games, or RPGs with non-action combat. I always liked those genres before, but I think my physical limitations made me lean into them even more.

Bravosi Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 It began to happen and develop back when I was in high school. My friends began to change and adopt to "new realities". Like dating, going to clubs, drinking and etc. Personally I did date, but on an individual level, rather than for a purpose of dating. If you know what I mean.

egghead Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 When I was a kid, the only way to play games was by visiting game shops. However, I was not allowed to play games, my father was against playing games. When father bought a PC, he allowed me to play a couple of games, however, these games were not like the ones we see these days. I started playing games when I had my first smartphone. That was when I was in the college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyxx Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Don't remember any age it didn't. Been a gamer all my life practically. Whether it was my dad's PC or handheld LCD games, gaming was part of my life early on and it pretty much left a permanent impact on me and has been a part of my life since.

DylanC Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Pretty much been a gamer all my life, but I think when I was 20ish in Uni, that was when I realised games were special in how they could bring people together, while telling mature, well written stories.
