What type of gamer are you?

[AnEndlessOcean]

I guess you could consider me a multi-genre gamer— though I don't usually play too many Sony or Microsoft games and I don't prefer any violent games. I'm probably more of a casual gamer now that I think about it...I pretty much only play Nintendo games. :O

 

[Officer Berri]

I'd call myself an open gamer, like Agent Kite. I'll play any game from any genre as long as the characters, story, or world intrigue me enough. I've probably played a game from almost every genre out there. Some days I like to play games that are hair pullingly difficult, and some days I just want to sit down and play something that gives me kudos for jumping onto a platform. It all depends on my mood.

If I really love a game's world and characters I tend to absorb everything I can of it and learn everything I can.

I also don't tend to see the allure of announcing I'm a female gamer like it's some kind of badge of honor. I've been playing games since I was a little kid so as far as I'm concerned there's nothing special or unique about it. Just another person who enjoys playing video games. So you will almost never see me mention the fact I'm female and playing games. Unless I come across a guy who doesn't realize a girl will play games beyond Farmville or Pokemon. Then I'll just politely call him an idiot.

 

[Sheepish]

I'm mostly a Nintendo handheld gamer. Apart from a bunch of PC indie games here and there, for the past few years, I've primarily been playing on my (3)DS. I'm open to trying most genres, but I typically stay away from competitive multiplayer or FPS games.

 

[JumpLoffa]

I'm really interesting to play war games. As a call of duty gaming series.

 

[Touko]

MMORPG and RPG gamer.

 

[Caius]

I'm a study gamer. Being a 3D artist has taken all the fun out of a game. Now I notice things and it's awful.

 

[beffa]

lone, multi, 'kiddie', open and casual.

some games i prefer to play things alone, and some i like to play online. i play assasin's creed but i only like the online mode. then there's animal crossing (which also falls into the kiddie genre) which i prefer to play alone, and i also play mario party and wii games for kids. i also play lots of different games, making me more of an open gamer, but i play more casually. i don't play for the thrill of achievements or anything. i'll take years completing a game because i don't specifically want to.

 

[Wish]

I dislike the word gamer I just play whatever I want

 

[Celestefey]

I'd say I would play any kind of game really, so I'm fairly open for suggestions. For the most part, I'd say I quite like JRPGs a fair bit, SO maybe that's my favourite genre but I don't think I'm too keen on puzzle games like Professor Layton. I'll play Phoenix Wright happily though (if that's even a puzzle game but w/e) because the puzzles are presented in a different way to you.

 

[Zebra]

I'm the type of casual gamer who is open to playing anything and nine times out of ten is really terrible at it. I've been playing games since I was four yet in general I'm pretty bad at it lol. I don't care though, I play games to entertain myself, not to prove that I'm super special awesome at it when clearly I'm not. I'm decent at DOOM, absolutely terrible at classic Mario. I still play them either way. I try.

So you are the average or a normal gamer. You can just say that. That's exceptable .

I've never really considered myself a gamer so I really don't know what to label myself as :\

If you play any video games at all, you are a gamer. I don't care what anyone says about it. Nobody has to play Mario, Sonic or COD to be considered a gamer. All you have to do is at least play any type of game(s) once and a while and you are gamer. If you don't play video games on a regular basis, you are basically a casual gamer. I don't understand why they say a casual gamer is a person who plays stuff like Wii Sports and Cooking Mama. Sure, those are "casual games", but you don't have to play any of those games to be a "casual gamer".

 

[Bones]

I'd say that I'm definitely a lone gamer as well. I have no problem playing games with people that I actually enjoy spending time with, but that seldom happens, so I usually hate having to play games that are co-op and have little to no single player options. (usually excluding games like TF2 that can be played without literally talking/hanging out with other players)

In some ways I'd consider myself casual as well, in the sense that I'm not a total pro at everything I play (though certainly not for a lack of trying, lol). Basically - I'm decent at most games, but most of the time, I put a good deal of effort into it.. and still suck. That and I'm not into 34598i0398038945 million different games, either.

Lastly, I tend to be a completionist - I hate leaving stuff unfinished, and love getting achievements/rewards/unlocks/etc, and will try to get at least a good number of them (or whatever isn't ridiculously and/or impossibly hard to get) completed.

 

[puppy]

i mainly play pokemon, but i dabble in final fantasy and kingdom hearts
and harvest moon

i do competitive battling in pokemon (breeding for natures, EV training, carefully chosen movesets) though im i bit of a novice at it. basically if you dont do the things i said above i can beat you pretty easily. but i have a tough time with other competitive battlers...

thats about the most into serious gaming i get lmao

 

[LazyPanda]

I spent most of my free times by playing games. I love Xbox games.

 

[SecondSider]

I'm a casual gamer, I usually watch movies, but I play video games on breaks.

 

[bittermeat]

I'm most likely a casual gamer. Give me any game and I'll try to make the best of it, no matter what genre/type.

 

[CharmingBerry]

I play across the board in terms of genres but I tend to like games that you can get a lot of play time out of like halo, acnl, pokemon, harvest moon, borderlands...etc.

 

[Leebles]

I'm a picky completionist. I won't play any old game. Once I pick one, I'll spend months and months trying to accomplish everything I can. I found everything in Psychonauts, Okami, and the first Kingdom Hearts, for example.

 

[Midorikawa]

I like games I can play alone because I have no one to play with. I can't exactly have anyone over but if I have anyone to play with then I like to play multiplayer games.

 

[fierceonigami]

I'm a casual gamer and I usually play solo because that's what I'm most comfortable with. That and I usually won't have anyone to play and enjoy the game with, and if there is someone I want to play with, they don't have game, not interested, and/or have a different console. Because of this I wind up enjoying single player games more but often thought it'd be great if these single players that I enjoy could do a co-op or something.
