What kind of a Gamer are you?

[Kewldude]

Decided to revive my 1.0 thread I've seen similar threads elsewhere but not here. I've made similar threads on other forums to interesting responses, so let's see what we find here!
NOTE - Can't create a poll unfortunately

The List (You may be multiple ones)

Classic / True Gamer
A quickly dying breed. Grew up with the industry and played games such as Chrono Trigger, Mario and Zelda. Typically will play just about any game/genre and usually prefers retro games. Plays 'em with skill and steadily improves, will stay up for allnighters, but isn't afraid to give the game a break and play another one.

Casual Gamer
Majority of the gamers these days. Prefer to play for an hour or so at max, once every so often a week. Being targeted by the industry because of great numbers and willingness to pay full price for less of a game.

Plays a few hours a week. Typically takes a year or so to meet max cap when it takes even other gamers a month or two to do so.

The Blood Rager
Plays for the pure pleasure of destroying. Can't destroy things enough, every death upon another being is deserved, and any amount of blood is not enough. Usually only plays PvP games and enjoys dominating others far more than playing the game itself. As long as people are dying, especially if they are unhappy about it, it doesn't matter if they win or lose.

PvP master, usually does nothing else but any form of competition be it highest DPS or most kills in an arena.

The Merchant
A real baron and trader, plays simply for the joy of collecting items and making profits. Plays the market like a flute and often whores out crafting.

The Star
Loves to be popular and well known. Typically posts constantly on the forums and loves Achievements and Completionists. Join the most hardcore of guilds and try to find ways to improve their popularity. Very vocal and sometimes generous.

Hard Core Gamer
Small portion of the gamer community. Want to be the best at anything they can, crunching numbers and max-min-ing their characters. Will power through an RPG in half the gameplay time with just about everything in tow and completed.

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.

The Role-player
Most of the time they have come from other role-playing styled games. Either in other MMO's or as a hobby outside computer games. They would rather think of their character as a person, instead of a player.

Action Gamer

This gamer likes playing Action type of games, stuff like Uncharted which is a combination of Action/Adventure and also games like Halo, MGS, God of War, Bayonetta all come in this category. This can combine with 'Blood Rager gamer' type but is there for people specific to this category who don't like just killing and like these games for what they are.

Older gamer (Thanks to Shadygrove!)

Remembers B&W TV. Grew up with board games and card games. Probably played chess and/or bridge. Probably a PC gamer gamer first and through today. If they had kids they might be / have been platform gamers as well.

MMO, online, or offline makes little difference as a demographic class, although individuals will have probably played in fewer styles / genres of games than younger gamers.

Short attention span gamer (Thanks to Shadygrove!)

Can spend hours a day in games but rarely 2 hours straight in any game.

MMOs: Suffers from altitis, game hopping, and is often found cruising betas with intent to apply.

Which are you? Have any "types" of your own that think should be on the list? Don't agree with some of these? Well post away!

[Jinrya-Geki]

Dark souls gamer. Get interesting dark stories mixed with some feels here and there with good paced, skill play combat.

[KizunaBlade]

I would say I am a mix of the role playing gamer and my own breed...the paranoid gamer. I am scared of end game content since I am nervous about messing up and thus attracting the wrath of more professional players XD.

All in all i just play at my own pace, i love my characters and classes and I love to explore. Despite playing since early access i have yet to even touch any content past Garuda story. I realize that is sad but I cant seem to beat my own nerves and fright of other players XD;. And due to this I do not play competitive games well (like league of legends, I stick to bots since I am scared of players XD)

[Mirron]

Honestly not sure what I am really applies, at least most of these feel a bit too narrow. I'd probably be picking a ton of different things to have a complete "list" of what makes me enjoy games. I enjoy Nintendo stuff and RPG's mostly, those are what tend to make me most interested when I'm playing. Beyond that though? Kind of varies. I like fun aesthetics and entertaining stories. What entertains me kind of varies. I suppose I mostly play for memories of sort, whether it's music, gameplay, story, characters, whatever other categories really. But I'm also very competitive. I like to do the best I can in games, though not to the extent of being focused on getting 100%, but still to do as well as I can. I enjoy challenges, so long as the challenges are ones that I can reasonably complete, I don't want to just cruise through things with no hassle.

Looking at the list again, a bunch of those apply to me in general.

[Violyre]

I dunno...generic gamer seems like a bad title, but that's one of the ones I fit in. Maybe classic gamer? I remember when I bought Chrono Trigger on SNES new for $70.

I also fit in Casual, Star, Adventurer, and Story-liner. Depending on how I'm feeling, I will also ne a Role-player. When my name was Fluttershy, I would often act meek and get upset at conflict. Violyre, my OC (donut steel) doesn't take crap.

I agree, n I changed it to Classic/True

[IzumiYuki]

I'm a "play what I want" gamer. I do whatever fits my mood and interests at that moment. I have done almost everything listed.

[Nuinn]

Barely dressed gamer; loves playing in boxers and socks >.>;;;

[Kuwagami]

Classic and Adventurer I guess. But not adventurer the way you put it :

"It's not the destination but the journey that matters."

Enjoy what you do and why you do it. All for the better

[Sho86]

Mainly "Classic/True" with a bit of "Adventurer" / "Story-liner" mixed in.
