Pretentionist?! I'm not- But...
OK, fine. I'm really an explorer, but I guess I'm too artsy.

Explorer...that's roughly right i suppose.

Wouldn't mind seeing a lot of all the possible quiz results though.

[br] The Jack of All Games [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/quizzes/result/83.50-The+Jack+of+All+Games] [br] Take this quiz [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/quizzes/view/83]

That isn't me at all, I've only stopped playing two games in my whole gaming life, I enjoy seeing games through tot he end. I once made myself finish Dead Space just to see if I would fall into a boredom coma before the end.

I got the Pretentionist, "Preferring indie games mostly but just because their usually the most artsy, but anything artsy will suffice" I'd say it fits me perfect.

I got explorer.....not really me. I'm one of the people who don't care about achievements or trophies. I play a game for the entertainment. Once I feel that I'm done, that's it.

Same as you, I rarely play with friends and got grouper.
I wonder, you have the option to retake the quiz, do you get another badge?

I tried to answer all the questions the way a hard core fps player would, (ie answered, modern warfare, good day to die, master chief, etc) as you can tell from the two badges I got I failed in this reguard.

Oh well, its slightly less reputable than that online psychological test I took that told me I was a mass murdering sexual deviant.

I got 'Grouper' saying solo is for suckers. How in the hell did this happen? I enjoy playing online and co-op games but the majority of my games are single-player and I love playing on my own, probably more than I love multiplaer

Did anyone else get the results they were not expecting? Or vice versa?
Same here. In fact, I pretty much hate most online multiplayer tack-ons to single-player games with a passion. But these kinds of quizzes have a tendency to work like this. Only takes 1 or 2 answers to get a totally different result.

I got Explorer on my first go, and Tactician on my second. Neither make sense - while I do explore open worlds, the world is always secondary to the game's story, and I will generally concentrate on the story at the expense of the open world.

I tend not to think very tactically - I suck at all Puzzle games, and I'm not exactly brilliant when it comes to RTSs either. Even tactical shooters are a little over my head really. Outside of some basic tactical decisions in RPGs, I really don't do anything tactical.

Are you talking about this one?
http://quizilla.teennick.com/quizzes/result/1753515/3125175/
I got this:
Congratulations, you have reached gamer NIRVANA. You are the Uber Geek. One day the gamers of the world will come together and they will build a statue of you. Made entirely of old Mario plushdolls. The Halo chant follows you wherever you go, though sometimes it does get kind of annoying. You are a god among gamers. There is nothing wrong with being into games, just don't lose sight of reality. There's a lot more to life then just video games. If you figure out what it is get back to me.

EDIT: I found the quiz you were talking about. I'm a pony lover.

I got the Explorer. I often prefer the storyline so it confused me at first.

The more I think about it, though, I love to see all of the content a game has to offer.

I got grouper.

I don't even play online any more, and I rarely play with friends locally.

I must be some sort of hybrid class gamer.

First I got "best-of-the-best", which isn't true at all, I don't really care about leader boards or that sort of thing. I do like achievements, but that's more for OCD and completion purposes than being "the best".

I re-tried and got something about sparkle ponies or some such nonsense. PASS!

Finally landed on tactician, which is pretty close. I've built a spreadsheet or ten for different games in my day.

Explorer probably would have worked; I like doing and seeing everything I can in a game. Maybe that's another option?

Same, also why is it that the OP for every thread I post in already have the answer I have?

That was FAR too much like a facebook quiz for my liking :/

Limited multiple choice answers for VERY specific questions? That driving one, for example - not played any of them, I'm more a Burnout kinda guy, but there was no idea of what SORT of driving games were being referred to. Which just sux. Couple other questions were like that.

Escapist, if you're planning on doing this more often, PLEASE think about the questions beforehand a little more thoroughly, and maybe indicate a little more about what each choice is meant to say about you, for those who can't answer the question directly.

I got explorer which is kinda true I guess but I prefer to finish the story and do the extras in the next play throughs
