What kind of a Gamer are you?

[Shurrikhan]

Adventurer with a bit of the Role-Player (but only where there's a world large enough and progression paths different enough to actually notice changes between alts, if I were to level them).

Remember the industry crash.

I'm actually a bit completionist, so I can't really stand games that takes too long to finish like Suikoden. A friend of mine finished getting everything in more than 2 months for the 1st Suikoden. That's also like cap-levelling every 128 heroes in there. ^^;

That's also why I never a big fan of Sim game series. ^^;

Classic gamer. Although, i haven't done an allnighter since going after my RSE in FFXI and maybe a night or two in Vanilla WoW.

I love Chrono Trigger. Chrono Cross was also really good. We need more games like that and thus i was sad to see the TP chains removed from FFXIV.

I'd say I'm classic/hardcore. While I prefer the title "classic" over "true," the only criterion I'm not sure I'd meet is the "growing up with the industry" one. The rest sounds like me. And then I'd consider myself hardcore, but that's from my perspective.

While I enjoy exploring, story, and completion, they all take a back seat for game-play.

my first "system." family member found it while cleaning a plane. it was definitely older than i, had Mario as its only game.


according to your demographic i would probably be in Classic/true, though i fit into everything besides old, short attention span, merchant, star, and blood-rager.
though i mostly stick to sci-fi or fantasy settings with RPG or shooter elements, i'll play most things except sports and racing games.

Considering my first Final Fantasy was the First Final Fantasy, I have evolved over my Gaming Life depending on my financial and real life circumstances. I've experienced all spectrums from a Hardcore 18 hours a day player to a 1 hour casual. Now I just consider myself a Veteran Gamer, someone who uses their experience to get most out of whatever they play in the most effective time.

Old school gamer. Started with Star Ocean 2 on the PS1 and worked my way up to now on FFXIV: ARR. Avid fan of RPG and more specifically JRPG's but any game that peaked my interest I played.

By definition an old school gamer would be considered hardcore by today standards, given the extreme easing of main stream games to allow for the most accessibility for any generation by comparison. Games like Demon/Dark Souls come as a culture shock for its insane difficulty when in reality these were the "normal" game difficulties of the day. Most of us who grew up around this time developed the three most crucial skill required for any game or real life application: OBSERVE, REACT, MEMORIZE.
