[General Discussion] Better at video games when you were younger?

They call me Hadoken, because I'm down right fierce.

I generally got a lot better with age. I've never been very good at games, but I'm a lot better at FPS than I used to be. I remember playing platformers too which I found difficult to judge distance in when I was young and finding them a lot easier now that I'm older. Generally though it's hard to tell since I don't play challenging games to begin with. I guess the only thing I can say is that I can beat my brother is a few games - rather than none. :P

ROFL! Is that your own quip?

It's hard to answer, personally. I don't play much outside of RPGs. With this respect, I've gotten better than I used to be, or at least about as better as you can get with RPGs. Strategy RPGs, on the other hand, I've probably gotten better at because it's more mental. Platformer games, I'm probably about the same. I can still hold my own on games like New SMB and SMG and such. Then again, I didn't play that many platformers at a young age (playing RPGs at the time), and this is pretty much the same for all other genres. Games I never played, I'm sure I still don't play. Games I played somewhat, I can't say I've gotten better because I don't play them often (again outside of RPGs).

So, no, I can't say I was better at video games when I was younger since I didn't play a wide enough array of different games to say definitively support nor refute that argument outside of RPGs, which I'd say I've gotten better at.

Nope, though I can't remember where I lifted it from.

Um... WTF?! Girls are pretty good at rhythm games as far as I can see.

Hahaha, great job. You hit the nail right on the head with that one.

I must be crazy. How coulda girl ever be so good as to pick up a controller and use hand-eye coordination to PLAY A GAME? Man, must be those fake nails getting in the way or something....

To make this post not spam.... Another thing I've noticed is, I have a lot more time to play games than before. But, on top of that, I have way more games to play, so, I never spend as much time with them as when I was younger. So, though I might play more types of games, I really never master any of them.
