Any games you're 'godly' at? Ever made a montage?

Aether · August 06, 2014, 08:42:11 PM

Wondering if anyone is ridiculously good at any specific game or game. Now I don't mean like 'pretty good' or 'above average'. I'm talking about top tier player status. And have you ever made any montages or videos of you playing said game or games? Or maybe you have a friend who's ridiculously good and they've made some vids.

Personally I've never been any better than just above average at shooters, but I'm very good at old Tony Hawk games. I've maxed out the score for the game with a single legit combo before on American Wasteland. (FTR that's 2.147 billion in a single combo)

I can also do crazy shit like this: (Which it's probably hard to gauge just how difficult it really is to pull a lot of this off if you haven't tried yourself or don't understand what's going on, but eh, whatever.)

I'm on 132nd place in the world on the Perfect Dark XBL leaderboards.

Those crowns were a pain in the ass.

I would like to be good at Gears of War, but I am only a bit above average, with a positive K/D and usually being within the top five players in most matches. I use to be pretty damn good at Halo 3 back when it came out.

I would never consider myself a pro at anything though, except maybe hoarding in Fallout games.

Word, the skill gaps in shooters aren't actually that big for the most part, though. The difference between the best players and the average players is noticeable but it isn't so 'in your face' like other games. Plus, with just how many people there are that usually play shooters, it's harder to define the best players in the world unless there's a good deal of tournaments being hosted.

Shit, that's pretty damn high.

Highest I've been on a leaderboard is top 250 for the arcade game Marble Blast Ultra. That shit was cash.

pardon my ignorance of WoW, but what context is that 'rank 14' in?

Im so good at Bad Company 2 that i often times surprise myself. Some pretty neat stuff ive pulled off in there.
Sadly i cant film any of it, frames take a heavy dip with Fraps on. Watch Sgt Enigmas old BC2 montages, thats the kind of stuff i can pull off.

I'm pretty good at Assassin's Creed multiplayer, but that's mainly because I'm not retarded and don't just hold down RT and kill people for 100 points. But I usually get very high on the leaderboards for it. I just don't play it often enough to stay up there.

Cheat · August 07, 2014, 12:39:03 AM

I was actually dubbed "Halo God" in my freshman year of high school because I was basically unstoppable at Halo 2. Admittedly, I never had the chance to play it online at the time because we didn't have DSL, but I could take on an entire four-player team at a LAN party and win.

I don't know where that skill went, because now I'm only "really good" at Halo 3, Reach, and 4. I am ranked 40th or so in the world for Mantis kills, so that's cool.

I don't wanna brag or anything but I can take on three level 9's and win in Super Smash Bros Brawl.

Ok, ok I am pretty damn good at NHL games as well. >.>

According to Watch Dogs I'm in the top 10% in the multiplayer currently, not mention I was once top 5%. However, I think that system is flawed.

Since most COD players have moved to the newer games I feel as if cod4's players are mainly on my level.

It was the highest PvP rank available in Vanilla WoW, it took about 6 months of 10-12+ hours a day to obtain

When I was done with the game, I sold that account for $4k if that gives you any idea of how difficult that title was to obtain, and how coveted it was back then.

That video I linked originally got 400k view in the first month (only viral video I ever made.)

I'm pretty nifty at Dark Souls

Jump Into Hell · August 07, 2014, 08:32:49 AM

I used to be really really good at sniping in Reach.

Lost all my sniping skills after switching to Battlefield for a year, now I can't snipe worth a shit in Halo 3 and have no chance of gaining my skills back since nobody ever plays Team Snipers.

MattyFez · August 07, 2014, 09:46:52 AM

In BF3 I'd usually get top of the leaderboard every game with a KD of 2 or 3. And I PTFO.

I'm okay in games like halo, and I beast in Infection, but other than that I'm meh.

Statefarm · August 07, 2014, 10:56:39 AM

I never considered myself amazing at halo, but one day I played Halo 4 after months of not playing and literally wrecked shit. Although it's Halo 4 so no one cared and I haven't played since.

I kicked some serious ass in Battlefront 2 spacebattles but never made a montage.

I used to be pretty good at Halo 3. I don't get to play it much more so I've gotten progressively worse. Hopefully when the MCC comes out I can get just as good.

Sprungli · August 07, 2014, 06:49:18 PM

Only two games i've ever bern really good at were Titanfail and Density (the beta)

I was a top player in the X1 beta for Titanfall, and I found the PvP in the Destiny beta laughably easy to exploit.

Oh, and I've got masses of FIFA 14 clips sat on my X1

This would be the closest that I had been to making a full montage.

That's some damn nice editing.

Thanks!
I personally think that I suck at editing, but I was at one point going to polish it up to at least try to make it look better. But I ended up scraping the whole thing to make a promo for a group.

I couldn't disagree more. Games like Quake have almost no skill ceiling and are incredibly high skilled. Starcraft aside, I can't think of any game that takes as much skill and thinking as Quake does.

Quake, from what I've seen, is very dynamic in its basic formula for out witting your opponent and its core game mechanics. Something that is becoming increasingly less common nowadays it seems. I didn't mean to imply that every shooter had close skill gaps which is why I said, "for the most part."

Compared to some games, shooters these days have far less that separates the average players from the best players than what they could have.

At least, that is how it seems. Where are all the shooters that leave room for special trick jumps and maneuvers, or nade tricks like the old Halos used to have? Where is the emphasis on spawn control and predictions? It seems that the main emphasis is becoming 'who has the better aim,' which is overshadowing other methods for victory in shooters these days.
