What type of gamer are you?

[Yokie]

I guess lone gamer is the term for me.

 

[Psydye]

A lone gamer here, though I'd prefer to play w/ more people more often, though I don't have many multiplayer games(unfortunately). If I play something it's got to be lighthearted and just all around good fun, the most violent I'll get is Resident Evil and other survival horrors, I don't care too much for some action games though like God of War and stuff, as well as many FPS's(esp. CoD); just not my cup of tea. I like games mostly that are of the indie/artsy type though, the real innovators so to speak, and anything that has great ambience, music and the like, and also stuff like Cave Story and Terraria and such...not much more to say I guess...idk.

 

[Host Change]

I'm a social gamer. I can't play games alone for long periods of time without playing with a friend or talking to fun people. I go to tournaments for SSBB on a regular basis and meet up with the local smashers weekly. I found a pretty awesome guild that plays a lot of various games together online so whenever I don't have a buddy to do something with I hit them up. I spend relatively low amounts of time on single player games nowadays.

 

[Mokuren]

I play all the time alone. The best games havn't a online modus so yeah... I love all Jrpgs and can spend whole days with playing it. Most of the time I forget to eat when I'm totally in a game but I also enjoy some peacefull games like harvest moon or animal crossing - but still these aren't my favorit genres ^^

 

[Hey Listen!]

I pretty much play anything. I love 3D plat-formers, MOBAs, first person shooters and such. I saw someone say it before me but I guess I'm an open gamer... or someone that just loves games in general.

 

[kite]

I tend to play RPG games or visual novels. An exception is Animal Crossing, I don't think that counts as an RPG lol.

 

[oath2order]

I prefer to be a lone gamer. I don't care to play my games with others >.>

Back when I was a loner kid at school I was a reader. I'd read anything and everything, so long as it had a story that grabbed me. I'm kind of like that with games. I like a story, and I like characters. I really started as an adventure gamer, back when adventure games mostly didn't come with pictures and you had to type commands very precisely. Then point & click games. The odd puzzler (Lemmings mostly, Seventh Guest was a favourite too). Never got on with shooters and platformers, my reflexes were never good enough. Some RPGs.

Fell in love with Pokemon in my late 20s (yeah, I have the soul of a 12 year old) and then Zelda (especially the DS games) and Animal Crossing. I love all the Lego games. Layton. Ace Attorney. Luigi's Mansion. 999 and VLR (wish they'd make more games like that, Starship Damrey was a good effort despite the slating it received from the critics but I really want something with more meat to it). I mostly play on my 3DS as the TV has been taken over by the kids so the Wii doesn't get used, but I still play the odd hidden object game on my PC and Angry Birds on my phone.

So I guess I'm mostly a lone gamer and probably count as a casual one since I don't play "hardcore" games. The amount of time I spend gaming would probably count as hardcore though... 600 hours and counting on AC...

 

[mewzy]

Used to be a hardcore gamer lol -.- I played lots of mmorpg's. Then I had to slow down because of nursing school. Now that I'm finish, I can finally play games again :3 thinking of playing GW2 as soon as I get a new gaming rig, but for now I'm gonna stick to animal crossing and some ps3 games lol

 

[Poppyann]

I will play anything really, if I like it then who cares what type of game it is. I used to play a LOT of MMORPGs. Mostly World of Warcraft, LOTRO and Guild Wars 2, but years and years ago I used to play those Korean grindy MMOs when I was like 13. Used to play a lot of Xbox as well but for some reason they can't keep me hooked these days. So I guess I'm kind of taking a break from gaming, except for New Leaf.

 

[Chromie]

Mostly loner I guess. My favorite games are rpgs with fantastic writing. By fantastic I mean games like Planescape: Torment or Knights of the Old Republic and Witcher 2. I can devour a story even if the gameplay is bad like with Alpha Protocol. I don't really play many online games except well World of Warcraft of course I play New Leaf but I'm not obsessed. I love my New Leaf but I can't possibly play it for more than an hour or two a day.

I am crazy for MMO's though it's probably the only time I'll really do anything multiplayer related like pvp or raiding. I've played MANY. Star Wars Galaxies, Ultima Online and Everquest briefly, Guild Wars 2, The Old Republic, Planetside 1/2, Lord of the Rings Online, Eve Online, Anarchy Online, Everquest 2 and others. I haven't owned a consoles in years so I never really play with my friends. Hell through out High School I never had a console actually. I do like Halo 3, Left 4 Dead 2 and Team Fortress 2. The only three shooters I can stomach and not get bored of.

 

[Saria Xiao]

I play most games from the Dead Space games to Zelda games to Animal Crossing (I only have Wild World and New Leaf). I look forward to the new Pokemon games.

I am a lone gamer as well. I like to play at my own pace and can't tolerate other players who get all upset over the most insignificant thing. That and I can play at some really weird hours due to my real life schedule.

 

[FTToasty]

I play a lot of different kinds of games, however my favourites tend to be FPS, survival horror, RPGs and Simulations.

 

[Croconaw]

I prefer games such as Pokemon, Mario, and Animal Crossing.

 

[cannedcommunism]

I'm a Nintendo gamer, so I like things like Mario or StarFox. I personally think that games like COD, Halo, and (you're all going to hate me for this) Minecraft are overrated, and don't usually play those.

I completely agree.

I also agree with this. Especially on Minecraft

 

[Lauren]

I like a wide variety of games, violent games I am terrible at because most are shooters but if I lay them I try. I like horror but also storyline based games I love the most. I'm a big nintendo fan also.

 

[aegis]

I used to play games every free minute I had when I was younger. I passed up so many social opportunities in both primary and high school because I'd rather stay home and play video games. I was even so renowned in one game community that the company even contacted me to play an early demo of one of their releases and post a review of it online.

Nowadays I'm a much more casual gamer. I only play a select few games, but those few games I do play I'm utterly obsessed with. However, I value other aspects of life a lot more now - I'd rather go out for dinner or a drink than stay in and play by myself. "It's just a game" after all...

I prefer single player games. In fact, AC:NL is the only game I play with an online feature.

i can really echo Tina's first paragraph here. i'd chose games over other people at every opportunity, but i was surrounded by cousins and siblings who loved games, too, so it wasn't such a solitary childhood, although i wold game for much longer than any of my famiyl members.

once i got older, i still played a lot, but real life responsibilities would often get in the way. i still played a lot, though, and never thought i'd grow out of it. i still play now, but i'm about to go to college, so i suppose my priorities may change.

i also prefer single player games, but i have gotten over some fears of playing with other people by playing TERA and other mmorpgs and, of course, acnl. i think the downsides of playing with other people will always be there, but when you find decent, good people to play with, it pays off to play with others. however, i do like the comfort of "offline" single player games. i like a complete, condensed story instead of one that always has add-ons or whatnot.
