The ten major gaming types. Which are you?

[TriggerUnhappy]

I would mainly be the strategist, though I do often get angry when I'm not at the top of the scoreboard of the game I'm playing (dominator). I would also be the masochist sadist, had you gotten the description right, for I love and savor the pain of my opponents.

 

[Hazy]

A Strategist/Sadist hybrid. But not necessarily to a degree where I'm foaming at the mouth and about to stroke out from all of the violence. That's just weird..
However, I will crush all in my path. And think it through before doing it.

 

[Pillypill]

I'm a 1, 3, a little bit of a 6, somwhere between a 2 and a 5 (3.5(?), finaly a bit of a 9.

I'm a 22.5 =]

Though if i had to pick just one; i'm a 3.

 

[dark_taint92]

im a mix of 1 2 3
depends on what game tpye im playing at the time
boo to rts cant play them

 

[Halceon]

Very, very flawed. Some of them are play styles, others are genre preferences.

 

[Sigel]

I would have to say I am a combination of 1,2,and 8. As for the question of 1, I think it is common sense to prepare for a fight, because my gameplay degrades into category 2. I am an 8 cause I don't stick to any particular genre. I play a game because I find it fun, not because it fits into a category.

Turns out the OP got the description of the Masochist wrong, the actual article says:

The Masochist
To the Masochist, games are like mighty stallions that need to be broken. If you actually derived pleasure from playing Ninja Gaiden Black, look no further for your gamer type. The Masochist plays games on the highest difficulty setting on a self-centred mission to prove they have what it takes to be the best. The problem with the Masochist is that they only drink from a shallow pool of games as they spend most of their time repeating sections and levels ad infinitum until they perfect everything. Like Arnie in The Terminator, the Masochist can?t be bargained with. He can?t be reasoned with. He doesn?t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until the game is completed. If you?ve sailed through Dragon Force on Expert in Guitar Hero then the chances are you?re a Masochist and you can?t hide it.

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to send a link to this guy Louis Chou.

He really is the epitome of a person that plays a game non-stop until he gets it perfect. His vids are legendary. The resident evil 2 survival modes are epic.

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

The Hoarder, the Grazer and the Fumble.
I'm a triple threat, but only to myself.

 

[GodsOneMistake]

Is it odd that I am none of those

 

[ioxles]

would it make sense to be all of the above, 'cause I find I vary wildly from day to, hell, even from minute to minute whilst playing - none of those really fits me, not even all of those come to think of it...

 

[Yegargeburble]

I am a hoarder / explorer. Not much more to say than that.

Also, I don't really hate campers. It takes some kind of patience to sit in one area. I can't do it.

 

[zyoto12]

explorer and hoarder. i went literally everywhere in fallout 3 and found craploads of unique weapons.

strategist when i play rts

 

[Merteg]

The Dominator/Masochist.=p

 

[Internet Kraken]

Mix of the Explorer and Hoarder.

 

[awesomeemosewa]

well im berserker i rush 10 enimies at once alone in WOW and i basicly fire at stuff till it stops moving in HALO. im the type of guy that likes to take on path and stick to it killing everything i see. but by friends ar all strategic/camping fuckers meaning i die a LOT. but att the end of the day ive had the best time. oh and sometimes i just want to ride around im my moongoose jumping over shit or smash my friends stuff in forge.

 

[elilupe]

Im a mix of the Hoarder, and Explorer. Also, im sort of a grazer, although I am NOT a casual gamer, i just like to try every genre. Except JRPGs of course.

 

[IcePho3nix]

Berserker and Fumbler, dude. That's my motto," Live fast, die faster." In terms of gaming. Well, shooters, anyway...

... Okay, I'm very excitable sometimes, so I will often try to avoid the path that'll make me go "OHSHI-", putting me at uh... Well, I guess a cross between Berserker/Strategist/Fumbler, where I rush straight in and go," Shit! They know I'm here!" and take a side path to flank them. And then die when I run headlong into the trap they set for me there anyway.
