In the spectrum of gamer talent out there I'd say I'm below average, but not embarrassingly so.
I never get all the upgrades or find all the treasures, I can never execute all the combos. I would embarrass myself in any serious online multiplayer, and I'd just barely carry my weight in online coop. I do get the hang of games quickly enough so that if it's a game I find interesting I will enjoy it.
It's partly lack of raw talent, mostly lack of time to become a really good gamer, and increasingly age having it's deteriorating effect on the capacity to learn and react quickly.
I'm hoping I'm still god enough to get through Demon's Souls. If I can manage that then at least I'll know I meet a reasonable talent standard. That and not end up unintentionally killing off every main character in Heavy Rain, I'll be pretty bummed if I can't get a least one person through alive.
