What kind of a Gamer are you?

[Kewldude]

I forgot to put my own list there!

Personally, I am totally a Story-liner and somewhat adventurer as well I just absolutely love all games that have a well thought out plot, interesting characters and character development. I also immediately move on after Ive finished the game except if there's a secret ending. In fact, I'll just head on to youtube and go check out all the extras and secret endings if the reqs are too high.

Also, being a story-liner, I gladly sink my RPG hungry teeth into any good looking RPG. By good-looking I don't mean just graphics but all the above mentioned things as well.

I also enjoy romance. If a game has romance Im bought XD, though harem stuff like visual novels, only when they're really worthwhile. I also think romance makes the story more interesting and human/real.

Of course, graphics do play an important part in choosing whether I like or want to play a certain game or not though it is not always the case.

I was a hardcore gamer back then. Play all-day long, get everything as much possible. But since I grew older, work and responsibilities came along... I became a casual... sucks right

Maybe I'm more into Vintage or older gamer with majority of story-liner since adventure genre are my main. I like back then where you can still have your imagination runs wild. I guess 80-90's are the era of golden gaming for me.

Realism in current streamline games left little to imagine anymore. ^^;

Id say a combination of the star and hardcore gamer

[Yuber]

I am hardcore gamer/adventurer, I do a lot of grinding and eventually I question why I grind so much and for what? So sometimes I relax and stop to smell the flowers then after that I get bored and get back to collecting things.

The Adventurer
Loves to experience and nothing more. Loves the thrill of exploring a new world with new characters and eagerly awaits the next dungeon/town/level/region. Will play and buy games to explore them and quickly gets bored if nothing new is presented.
Quickly becomes bored of a game if they've seen everything even if they are not maxed level or geared out or if there's pvp.

The Story-liner
This gamer just want's the be immersed in an enthralling story-line with interesting characters that are facing tough decisions. This type of gamer likes to find answers.. and fast and absolutely loves 20 minute cutscenes and FMV's. Once the end credits are rolling the game is beaten and the disk is already being taken out... unless there is a secret ending after the credits. They care not for trophies, bragging rights or unlocks.

The Romance Gamer
Loves playing romance games like visual novels or dating sims. Can also apply to those who don't play such games. Gamers who like having some romance in the games they play as much as possible also fit into this category. Romance especially between the main characters of the game is what these gamers like.

I don't quickly become bored though. I also hate PVP.

Older gamer with no preference to pc. I prefer plug and play nature of console

[Mercutial]

I guess I'm a combination of a Classic/Hardcore gamer. My first console was an Atari 5200 as a tot and I've always got whatever was new within a month of release. I think the two categories go hand in hand. Cartridges were still around $50 in the late '80's so you generally "min-max'd" everything to get the most out of your purchase.

On a side note... Dark/Demon Souls is like a love-letter to this kind of gamer.

I don't know what to classify myself as. Hardcore casual? ROFL.

I am online 8 hours a day or more doing pretty much nothing that has anything to do with missions, quests or raiding.

I gather, maybe craft. Color and raise chocobos. Send out retainers for trips. Look at houses. Hope to buy a house. Talk to people.

[Sorciechan]

Mostly classic, adventurer, and story-liner, with a little bits of casual, action, the star, and romance.

I think it depends on the genre of games, rly. I always look for games with a story and a vast world that I can explore and I'm not that old, but I started gaming with Mario on the super nintendo when I was little, then went to Pokemon, Chrono Trigger, etc. I actually like both retro and realistic, but, for me, there's a beauty to retro that you can't really replicate with 3D. I tend to get casual with games I've already finished the story on or mmo's that I already reached endgame (nothing much to do 'cept wait for the expansion or an event). Action, because, well...*points to her KH and Zelda collection*. Er, only the star for the achievements, rly, I tend to be a soloist in mmo's if I can help it. Yes, I am a romantic. I'm not to ashamed to admit that. :P

Btw, I think completionist should be a separate type. I've seen ppl go far out of their way to get everything.
