Poll: What type of Gamer would you consider yourself?

[happysock]

Pretty self explanitary tell us what type of gamer you would consider yourself and why you would consider yourself to be that.
I would consider my self to be casual, but not in the Wii sense casual, I normally play games for a bit of fun and to just catch up with friends etc.

I like I might see if I can stick that one in the poll lol

It'd be nice if we could have a definition of the terms used.

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

Just a gamer.

I don't need to label myself, I have other people to do that for me.

 

[ghalkhsdkssakgh]

Indie. I love free games like spelunky, cave story, deathworm, and I love games like world of goo, psychonauts and okami. (I know those last two aren't indie). Basically, I love anything beautiful or clever. But I do play plenty of normal games as well, so I'll go for hardcore.

 

[Akai Shizuku]

I don't like labeling myself, but were I to do so I would say hardcore gamer describes me best. But I'm not an elitist about it.

 

[Gingerman]

I'd say old school. As in in the old days more people saw gaming as a past time and not something that you HAVE to be good at or HAVE to play for hours to be the big cheese. I really dislike the Hardcore image, that of either a 13 year old child high on sugar yelling over a mic or a fat slob laughing because he killed a new player.

But this purely depends on your difination of Hard core etc. I'd say I'm a gaming euthusist ratber than a actual gamer.

Sillying youngins!

 

[YukoValis]

I use to be hard core until people started making garbage, not only that but easy garbage as well. So I'm now a classic/casual.

Thats a good one I've added it to the poll

 

[wordsmith]

Casual to Hardcore probably... On a good day, I'm unstoppable, but those days are every now and again, not 6 days per week.

 

[LongAndShort]

Somewhere between Casual and Hardcore. Probably old school if Gingerman's definition is right.

 

[Eagle Est1986]

Maybe someone could give me some guidelines for each label, so I know what to call myself.

I'd say casual because I only game when I don't really have anything better to do. That said, I wouldn't think of a casual gamer completing Mass Effect 4 times or putting 120 hours into Oblivion. So, erm... just a recreational gamer?

 

[Vespire]

Avid is the only word that describe what sort of gamer I am

I'm like you, you can be casual and play a few hours a day yet still rack it up on one game I guess

 

[Cargando]

I dunno... I'd say casual.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Im a gamer. I play games, if were gonna get specific with this stuff i'll have my people in washington do that for me.

 

[Simalacrum]

ex-hardcore; my PS3 broke and now all I have to rely on for games is my Ipod Touch and Macbook... oh yes, I'm one of those, I'm an Apple Fanboy X3

 

[Federalist92]

Hardcore.
All I do is play games of
all genres,
all types,
on all difficultys',
all the time!

 

[Pimppeter2]

I'd say oldschool. Not in the sense that I always say that old game x is better than new game y. But in the sense that gaming is a past time. 1 that is played occasionally, but is loved. I love to play games and I am a "gamer", but that doesn't mean I slave over games.
