What type of gamer are you?

I'm all about hardcore gaming. For me, the more challenging the game, the more fun it is.

Same here. Hence my main hobby of Simracing.

I'm currently playing three games:

Halo 3 ODST
Borderlands
GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City

Can't wait for Modern Warfare 2 to come out!

I've loved playing video games ever since I was maybe 7. I'm definitely a hardcore gamer, but I limit the amount of time I spend on gaming so I can concentrate on other things.

I'd probably label myself as a hardcore fighting and shooting gamer. They are my two favorite genres.

I'm a casual gamer. Usually I don't make time for games.

Hardcore. Bring on the pain!!!

Though I play most games, I fancy those that are harder.

I'm sort of a Hardcore and retro gamer,but I don't play video games that much.

From that list I'd have to say I'm a hardcore gamer with a bit of retro gamer mixed in. I love games that take a long time to finish.

I would of said Professional, but I never got paid <_<

I'm mostly the hardcore type, when I get the time.

^^ I would love to make a career out of playing video games as a tester, or even join the MGL or MLG or whatever it's called.

JitteryDragon · **Reply #12 on:** November 03, 2009, 11:46:30 PM

Heh, I had that chance way back in the Quake 4 early days... but to be honest I couldn't be bothered playing games enough to be uber pro at them.

Video game testing isn't as fun as it sounds. You'll never want to play another game... ever again.

I've always wanted to create games... apart from chasing Tornadoes that is (my degree is in tornado science).

^^ I have this notebook back at home that I would write in whenever I was bored. Because at the time I didn't have the skills to create a video game, I would make my own ideas for video games. I had so many different ideas it was crazy. I remember when I was about 7, I came up with the idea for a Mario Kart game but with the Land Before Time characters. I don't know how I came up with it, I just did.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #15 on:** November 04, 2009, 02:00:58 AM

Hardcore all the way

Er, can this be made multiple choice, because I'm kind of a mix between the first four choices. Which one I currently am depends on my mood.
I will sit down and play light games that are easy and quick to beat, but I'll also play difficult games, but I also like older games and have been stacking up on rereleases of them like crazy, and I also like lots of games made in Japan, like Super Mario Bros and Final Fantasy.

I don't think I can edit the poll...

I knew I should've made it a multi-choice.

I don't play games often, but when I do, I usually go for the old one's. Super Nintendo was and IS the GREATEST! I don't care that there's like 256 colors and a 12mhz processor in the console.

Donkey Kong 3 was sooooooooo great! Super Mario was pretty good too, but I never really beat Bowser. The game I have doesn't save when you turn off the console. There's something wrong with it. Because of this, I can never get to the final level. It's still fun though.

N64 was like meh......not so great. All consoles newer than N64 just aren't worth my time. I do have an XBOX, but the only thing I play on it is Fable and I don't play it often (maybe twice a year). I have emulators of all the Pokemon GB games and I like to play those. Other than that, I don't game.

The game I have doesn't save either although I beat Bowser several times anyway. There's a shortcut you can take to Bowser plus a secret area somewhere in the game that lets you collect as many extra lives as you want (although you have to keep visiting this stage over and over again since you can only get one extra life at a time).
