Well do you think you're a gamer? One of the best at what you play. There are all sorts. There are people that can kick anyones behind on FIFA but stick the controller in there hands and play an RPG and they struggle to get through the pratice stage.

I mean i believe when it comes down to SSX i'm unbeatable on it...no one i have played against as even gave me a challenege on the game. Grand Theft Auto and Kingdom Hearts .etc RPGs i find them easy and complete them quiet happily without much of a problem. I find sport games pretty borin so i don't play them much and so when faced with one i am in a word...crap.

So what makes a gamer? The ability to kick the rear end of opponents when you play against others or someone that can handle all types of genres. Or maybe its just a case of the amount of knowledge you have on gaming as a whole...
Do you reckon that you're a gamer?

I'm just curious of what people think. :D

hmm what makes a gamer, well there are no wrong or right answers.
Anyway i think it's more to do with:

1. how long you have been gaming for, I started out with a Sega Megadrive which was also a Windows 3.1 PC (if you can call it a PC) I also played on an Amegia as well.

2. How much knowledge you have on gaming as a whole and how good you are on a perticular game and not the type.

I think I am good at all racing games but I am not good at all with F1 games. I dunno maybe it's because I dont like F1 but challenge me to GT3 or SSX 3 then I can give anyone a good challenege, same with Fighting games.

First system? Super Nintendo. How lon i've been playen for....7 years. I'm preety good at Platform (like Mario Party games), I'm great at Adventure and Action games, kinda alright at Rpg's., kinda sucky at racing games, I really really suck at all the fighting games except 1.....Super Smash Brothers Melee. :P I think a gamer needs to be preety good at most types of games.

I can kick ass on FPS games...Unreal Tournament, Quake, Counter-Strike etc. When I play these, I rule all. :P

The definition of the term 'Gamer' is a simple one. A gamer is someone who just plays video games regularly. Simple. We are all gamers as we all play games regularly. If we didn't, then it's likely that we wouldn't have joined C/D.

A gamer is exactly what you said dayle, somone who pwns in one genre but sucks in anohther, no one is THAT good that they can actually pwn in all games :P

For me...its FTPs and RPGs, like Final Fantasy, and I absolutely Pawn in Crashing/Racing Games: Burnout 3 XD

Come, see who will reign supreme! :P

A gamer is simply someone that plays games, should they be hardcore gamers who will play non stop unless at school or work (sometimes wont even stop there :P ) or casual gamers who play now and then. You dont have to be good in any genre's to be a gamer, just as long as you enjoys games.

It is the only answer. I am currently a casual gamer and can be found booting into windows for games I cant get to work on linux. In fact ill be booting into windows soon as I have the demo of rome total war to play :P

yes Redgore, that is a good answer,

I'm deadly in RPG's like Final Fantasy, I kick everyone's ass in Baldur's Gate online :P

and when it comes to Quake, i'm pretty good in CTF games.

If you just put a lot of effort and time in a certain game (genre) you can become skilled after some time

Yeah, I prefer CTF to Deathmatch. I'm usually quite good at Quake 3 on CTF...I prefer Soldier Of Fortune 2, and UT2004 though. Quake is one of the best games around...But it's old news. Y'know? Can't wait for Quake 4!

......

Leave me alone. :P

Even if your replies to people who dare challenge you on the almighty Counter-Strike are somewhat.....clinically insane, your definition of a gamer, I believe, is correct.
