Does beating a game on the hardest difficulty take skill?
Well I'm sure it depends on the game, but what about the typical first/third person shooter?
I've beaten quite a lot of shooters on the hardest difficulty, all Halos on Legendary, CoDs on Veteran, all the Gears on Insane, but was any skill involved?
The only thing I've noticed when I played those games on the hardest difficulty setting was that I wasn't executing any more advanced tactics, I wasn't doing anything differently except for one thing. I was staying back, I was "camping", I was just waiting it out, killing on enemy and then waiting for a good opportunity to kill the next. I did not find it hard, just boring, tedious, and stressful.
So I ask you guys, do you think beating a game on "hard" takes skill? Or just patience?

In shooters no.

I believe it takes experience, patience and skill. The levels of which really depends on the game.

If you need to ask that, play FE5. Then you'll have your answer.

Im sure there are some games out there that take skill on the hardest difficulty but in terms of fps's i tend to agree with you about the staying back and slowly grinding your way through enemies, it does get very boring at times.

patience. and many grenades.

In most cases not really. Since as you said it is mainly just a waiting game. However knowing when to and when not to do something does take a certain level of skill if not experience. Personally I have found most games that increase the difficulty really just increase the AI's damage which doesn't make the game harder at all.
