The ten major gaming types. Which are you?

[Blindrooster]

grazer....

 

[Ninja_X]

I'm very quiet(rarely even speak), the only noise I make all game is the sound of your body hitting the floor.

What category does that fall into?

 

[scnj]

Explorer. I've even tried to explore a linear game before (BioShock).

 

[Fud]

I'd say I'm a combination of explorer and hoarder, what I'd call a completionist. I'm really OCD about getting everything. It's actually caused me to drift away from RPG's and games like that because I don't want to use a guide, but I have a need to get everything.

 

[WhiteFangofWhoa]

Combination between Berserker and Grazer. Often in a team game the best way of giving your allies the edge is a simple direct attack to distract the opponent. In some games the pros get so caught up in strategy they forget the need to think simple. I will also take all possible risks to avenge the death of a comrade. I do not mind 'tanking', or absorbing the majority of the damage at all in MMORPGs.

Ah the appalling stench of pseudo-psychology, if you are finding it hard to commit to one of these categories then look no further than the lack of proper referencing in the article that the OP took this from. There is nothing to see these categories actually reflect the different kinds of gamer merely that psychologists speculate, that they might. Also the whole article is about psychometric testing possibly the shallowest and least well supported branch of psychology aside from anything Freud said.

Camper ohhh yeah! I'll be the guy on the turret in downpour who gets you through all of the buildings.

Thank you. I wanted to say something like that but I am honestly not that great with words.

3. The Explorer- Games with large with plenty of new place to visit and explore such as Fallout 3 or Oblivion are the bread and butter of the Explorer.

That just about sums me up... I spend more time thinking "just another 10 minutes of looking around [in game] and I'll go get another level..." than anything else... and that 10 minutes multiplies until I either run out of map to explore, or I stumble across a quest to finish.

though I have a bit of the hoarder in me when it comes to stupid little items... my Oblivion house is practically a museum, and my old WoW banks were chock full of items that gave me happy little memories.

 

[ckam]

I am a combination of Hoarder, Berserker, Explorer, Strategist, Dominator without the t-bag, Monogamer for RPGs, Grazer, and Sadist. Sometimes Fumbler if I really don't get the game.

 

[Haliwali]

10, or berserker. Depends on the day.

 

[Lexodus]

I know it's kinda a contradiction in terms, but Hoarder ('m Jewish, after all), Berserker and Strategist.

3. The Explorer- Games with large with plenty of new place to visit and explore such as Fallout 3 or Oblivion are the bread and butter of the Explorer.

5. The Strategist- The complete opposite of the berserker. Takes all possible scenarios uses every piece of info to conquer any situation.

I fit well into both catagories.

 

[Florion]

8. The Grazer- Often casual gamers who are open minded about all genres and will happily have a go at anything.

Sounds enough like me, but I don't really fit any of these. I know I'm bad at RTS games and I've grown out of MMORPGs, but everything else is fair game. I like artsy, atmospheric games best. x3 But stupid JRPGs and Battlefield 1943 have their place in my library as well.

 

[SsilverR]

strategist and explorer XD

2. The Berserker- If you find yourself charging into battles no plan, only the drive to take as many of the enemy with you, and you find RTS?s slow and boring. Then you just may be a berserker.

10. The Fumble- the gamer who tries really hard but always seems to lose 15 times in a row and ending up with a minus score. However despite all-thumbs-no-fingerness they seem to get on with everyone so it?s not all bad.[/quote]


am probs abit of both like on shooters i run in with all guns blazing with hell fire in my eyes lol but because of this i lack technical plaining or thinking out what my next move is because am running that fast i dont have time to think. but this more than often leaves myself out numbered when i go running after some one and then release there about ten off them wait for me with a missile launcher or somthing else to make me blow up into bites sized chunks. but i enjoy the blood and gore even if its my own its all part of the fun xD

 

[OmegaTron]

A mix match between the Berserker and the Fumble.

 

[brodie21]

explorer

 

[Citrus]

Strategic Berserker. Run in without a plan and try to kill as many enemies as possible, but come up with plans on the go. For first-person shooters, anyway. And I don't find RTSs boring.

 

[nerd51075]

I tend to play the Explorer more than anything else. I prefer slower gameplay with plenty of time to do sidequests or level up if I suck at a game.
