since games now a day takes so much time to master, would you rather be a god in one game.

or be nobody in 150 games, but at least you get to play 150 games versus just 1.

i am so lagging behind in so many famous titles, but i always prefer being a master at something than nothing.

so many games, so little time.
 
Some games have common skillsets. If you're a good twitch player in fpsers then you can adapt to most any fps where that kind of play is possible. RTS is about build orders primarily. Most games have these common threads.
 
So you're basically asking us if we prefer to be good at only one game or no games at all? I guess I'd like to be good at one game...
 
I don't have a choice, I suck at all games. 😛

Really though, I like to experience all sorts of games and not worry about perfecting my skills in any one.
 
Before college I was a god in just about any game I played... except MMOs... Now I just play emulators when I have a little free time between studying/work/etc so naturally I suck at pretty much all games now.
 
Anyone who says that they would rather be good in one game and play no other games is an idiot. Games are meant for enjoyment, and not dominance or bragging rights.

Those of you who say being good in one thing is better than none are right, as long as they do not apply this to gaming. Most other things in life, such as a job or a profession are areas where this concept is acceptable. Being masters in a game does not convert into maintaining a healthy life, unless you are a professional gamer who makes money off of it. On the other hand, being the master in your field of work converts into a more successful life, and makes it easier to maintain that life.

Just my 0.02 cents though, and others can argue that not everyone has the same definition for success.

would you stop buying new games and playing them until you perfect one?

choice 1. only play one game or very few since you'll be spending all your time mastering it.

choice 2. play games simply for the sake of playing and experiencing them, you never become a master at any, or unlock all secret, but you get to play all the games you want.

i like the answer that PrinceofWands gave, however, i don't play FPS, and little RTS. mostly RPG...
 
I'm mostly harmless in FPS games but still have fun playing them, which is the point for me.

I don't aspire to be a "cyberathlete" or have a mouse named after me 🙂
 
I'm awesome at single-player games. Can blaze through them without any real difficulty.

But I get owned pretty bad at multi-player first-person-shooter 🙁

I would like the option, "Be average in all games". Unlike the Oblivion/WoW/CS nuts, I can't dedicate all my gaming time to just one title.
 
I haven't played too many games in ages. If I do play anything it's a variety of sports games which I play against with friends. I'm average - good at those.

ok smart guy, your answer is real smart.

would you rather like one food a lot, or hate all food?

well, if only liking one meant that I could only eat one type, I would choose the latter.

Food is partially meant for pleasure, but most importantly, for nutrients. Having only one food would deprive my body of the nutrients that it needs.
 
It is basically like multi-classing in D&D, "all the benefits of neither with the disadvantages of both". But like others have said if you are good at twitchy fps games, you can adapt your skills between all sorts of fps games. Same goes with RTS games, you keep your micro skills but learn a new build order. If you spread you gaming out too much you end up sucking overall instead of being good in one genre, sort of like how a Wizard Fighter was never meant to be.

But then again who cares it is just video games. If you suck at them no big deal.
