Poll: What type of gamer are you?

[Mad Maniac with axe-firing chainsaw]

Probably a mix between achiever and socializer, with a strong urge towards socialising. There's days where I'll be satisfied doing nothing but tearing through legions of extremely tough enemies, but I feel most fulfilled in gaming when I feel connected to the characters world and am actively making a difference in the game universe. So I'll have no problems stopping to chat with the NPC's and solve problems non-violently. That said, I've also no problems putting a stave (or ray-gun) through a bandits heart if talking isn't an option. Exploration is something I find mind-numbingly boring however, and I have zero patience with puzzles. In multiplayer, I'm often one of the more team-minded players, combining achieving with socialising. I don't play multiplayer that often though, so I usually have to make do with chatting to NPC's or ripping up bandits.

EDIT: I'm definitely not a killer... well, unless my psychopathic darkside takes over. But then I have discussed this many times...

In recap: I am a complete and utter saint in computer games until I get bored or pissed off, at which all bets are off as I send allies and enemies fleeing from me in a blood-crazed surge of frenzied violence. I call this my "psycho" mode in relation to my "serious" mode. God help any towns that I happen to come across during this time... however, I never psychologically torture NPC's, any violence I perform is physical. So even in psycho mode I'm not really a killer in the "griefer" definition used here. I go berserk when I'm bored and want to fight the nearest thing to me, not to get a kick out of torturing terrified citizenry.

 

[Naheal]

Socializer, followed closely by Achiever, then, when bored, I become a killer

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

well, I guess I'm an achiever

I see ny ur pic that u like Cloud,

im not gonna start a fight but Haseo can kick Clouds ass anyday of the week
dont start an argument just accept the truth

 

[ColonelDiscussion]

Although I'm pretty much an Explorer, I have to say, I'm a sucker for good Power and Killing games.

 

[Moosebite]

I think it depends on the game that I am playin at the time. But I would say explorer more than anything else

 

[Gigaguy64]

im an achever.
i want to be the best at whatever i play, especialy multiplayer games.
i my main focus when pratcing for online play is to max everything and learn the most efectave moves.

 

[ThePine]

I'm a mix of explorer and achiever, leaning on the explorer side, with a tad Socializer.

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

99% explorer and 1% achiever, I like collecting things.

 

[Drakmorg]

I'm a mix between the achiever and somewhat of a killer.
I don't grief in multiplayer, but I strive to become as powerful as possible, even if it's only to make it so I can kill an entire town before the guards can show up.

 

[rembrandtqeinstein]

Idk achiever and explorer kinda seem the same although I guess it depends on the competition involved and if youve explored everything chances are you have everything

They are sort of similar but the explorer would go out of his way just to see/collect everything, where as the achiever would only explore enough to max out their character and not "waste time" on content that doesn't have a tangible reward.

 

[historybuff]

Mix of the first two.

 

[JoshGod]

there was something similar were u took a test and it told you ur rating in each section and there were about 7 sections i think it was brain hex

anyway ur options arnt enough im not truley any of them.

 

[ShotgunSmoke]

Achiever, with a little bit of Socializer.

 

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

Mostly Explorer, but I usually fail at finding everything.

 

[C117]

Explorer. Gotta catch 'em all, you know.

 

[Lonely Swordsman]

The most fun I have in a game is when I'm looking for hidden paths, new weapons or alternate strategies, easter eggs or new dialogue branches. So I'm a bit of everything, but above all I'm an explorer.

 

[CartoonHead]

Said Achiever but I am a bit of a Killer too (in SP only though, never team-kill in MP as players who do really annoy me). Ahhh fond memories of of being Sith in KOTOR follow...

 

[Contun]

If by acheiver, you mean trying to succeed overall, then yeah, I suppose I'm an Acheiver...

But Exploring is also pretty nice...

 

[DoctorObviously]

Explorer for the most part.
