Fallout, Skyrim, Modern Warfare, Battlefield, Mass Effect, GTA - all triple A games.
Pretty much everyone that lingers on these forums has at the very least played one of these games. You can probably measure the love for it by the hours and hours you spent playing them. There are massive websites with plenty of depth content about the stories, lore, items, collectibles, T-shirts, soundtracks and weird fictional plastic puppets about that one game, fansites!
But what type of fan are you? are you the one that buys all the collectibles? Someone that would go trough all the loopholes to get that one rare physical object for this game?
-- the collector --
Or are you someone that rather discusses on the lore of the game? Dive into the deep content and get lost in the digital world, someone that goes to great length to understand what drives the characters in the game, and loves to stream this knowledge to the casual player that hangs around on the specific game's forums.
-- the lorekeeper --
Or are you the type of gamer that wants to get together with other gamers and discuss tactics, achievements and other progressions, someone that attends every community event made for this game and hangs around with others to play it in massive LAN parties?
-- the attendant --
Then lastly, are you really someone that just games for fun? to spend his free time doing something that he likes, not going in that deep but just enjoying the content he has - skipping trough the cut scenes to get to the action, generally disengaging himself from further depth, all you need to know is dude A is bad so you use item B to pwn his butt and save princess C^^

So tell me Escapist - What type of fan are you?
