What kind of gamer are you?
I know I geared this mainly to single player games, but since I rarely play multiplayer games that's the way it came out. Sorry.

I was inspired to make this by my RL friend who is playing the 2013 Tomb Raider, has 62 hours on one playthrough and has STILL to beat the game because he's looking for EVERYTHING to find in the game, or as he's calling it 100% the game.

Edit- Sorry all. I realized I misspelled 'masochist'. And I can't change it so please let it go.

What kind of gamer are you?

View Results
I just play and beat a game doing just what's needed.
I just speed through a game ignoring the story, dialogue and other side bits.
I spend your time apreciating game.
I'm that kind of insane gamer that HAS to find EVERYTHING there is to find and do EVERYTHING there is to do in a game.
I'm an achievement whore.
I'm a mashichist that plays games on the hardest difficulty.
Other- Please specify.

I love to play games and I love to finish them. But when I finished a game I mostly will not start again to play NG+ or hunt for achievements. Also I try to collect things in games when they findable but if they are hidden to well I don't care about them and move on.

As a wise member of this community would say: I'm a casual player, I do casual stuff.

I'll echo most people and say "It really depends on the game...". :P

Normally I go for 100% Achievements (that's Achievement Hunter for you) but if the game gets really boring at some point and they just crammed in a bunch of grinding bullshit I'll probably put it "on hold for an undefined amount of time".

On the other hand if I like a game a lot (usually this translates to "It's very funny" or "there are lots of stuff to shoot at" or "there's just so much fun stuff to do here :O", or all of the above), I'd go overboard to see everything. For examples see Recettear (200 hours and it doesn't even have any achievements) and Borderlands 2 (I'm pretty sure I got all the achievements in it after the first 100-ish hours... still somehow clocked 650... and now I wanna play it again with a friend this time :D ).

That isn't to say that I won't sometimes go beyond the call of reason in games I don't like. I still 100%-ed the original The Binding of Isaac despite already really disliking it half-way trough. Those achievements were individually too easy to miss out on... they just made a lot of them... I'm pretty sure that's how addictions work. <.<

Completing story and depending on how I enjoy it working on additional achievements or just continuing for my pleasure. No hard modes.

Completionist but also casual. For the games I really like, i'm the former but if its just playing with friends or co-op then i'm much more casual. Probably depends on the game as well I suppose.

I love the "I spend your time" option.
Instead of spending my time I'd rather spend yours as well. More time for more games.

depends of the game. as for tomb raider i started it the other day and ain't finish it, i am trying to do everything 100 %. though i won't be able to get 100 % success because at a moment in the timeline, there is people who thought it would be a good idea to put achievement for online multiplayer on those kind of game that were made for solo player at first

Depends on the game, but normally I try to find everything there is to do ( like side quests or whatever) and try to get 100% achieves, or as close as I can.

Not much of a gamer. I usually just play a little of each game and stop the moment it becomes a little difficult, a little boring, or just for good no reason.

I mostly play on the easiest difficulty, try hard to not be an insane gamer. Sometimes I feel like I need to explore everything and that can cause me to lose interest in some games because they're just too overwhelming.

i just play the story line and do the other stuff along the way as long as im entertained, i might stop and drop the game if there is no fun or no story

IĀ“m the undecided "maybe iĀ“ll be back later" type of gamer. Rarely completing anything, Witcher 3 sitting untouched for a year or more with only enough hours sunk into it to notice the games potential of devouring my life.

Then thereĀ“s cases like Shadow Warrior, which tickle my secret bits, making me complete it in one run with no distractions in the form of other games.

Or really weird stuff like Absolute Drift, which I enjoyed the heck out of and soft completed it during a few weeks playtime, then uninstalled. A year later i got infected with JDM stuff (thanks YT :E), re-installed Absolute Drift and had to 100% it, just bcuz!

edit: Let my niece play Sonic the Hedgehog today. Her conclusion? You die three times and have to start over sadface (never left green hill zone)
SheĀ“s lucky i ainĀ“t got Probotector on STEAM!!!!

I used to just complete games and never look at them again but then I met a friend who was 100% every single game. Just insanely good at any game he picked up and he inspired me to up my game. I went from somewhere between 20% completion rate to 66% currently. And it's actually really improved my experience with games overall.

As far as playtime goes though, depends on the game. For Tomb Raider 2013, it took me 30 hours to beat and that's with all but 2 single player achievements. Don't really care for the multiplayer part of the game. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided took me 54 hours for one playthrough of the main game but that's mostly due to my obsession with getting into every single apartment and ventilation shaft. Once spent about half hour stacking small boxes inside a ventilation shaft so I could climb up two floors into a locked storage room of a weapons vendor (enhanced jump was not enough).
