Your different kinds of gamers. Which are you?

A: OWNING A FUCKEN XBOX360 DOES NOT MAKE YOU HARDCORE.

(This was brought up by a person on GFaqs who consistently said they were hardcore cuz they had a 360... -.- )

Now that that point it out of the way ^.^

I will classify by stupidest/easiest to find.

A:Your Bandwagon Gamers..

You know who you are. You are the guy who plays Halo because its popular and has good graphics. You never search for anything new, and play Halo all day long, or Gears of War because you have a 360 and everybody else said it was good. Yet is still the only game you have.

(These games aren't bad, but the average guy won't shut the hell up about 'em)

B: The average gamer

Goes to Walmart or bestbuy or Rhino's or Gamespot.. I should prolly shuddup. And buys a game every couple of weeks or so. These guys, there are a FEW around here. Nothing wrong with being this guy.

C: True Gamer

One who will go and buy a game if he hears good reviews about it, and is not afraid to fork out a lot of money to find a true gem. Plays classic games, despite bad/horrid graphics but golden gameplay. I guess I am one of these.

D: Hardcore Gamer.

OWNING AN XBOX360 DOES NOT MAKE YOU A HARDCORE GAMER...

Heh, heh. A hardcore gamer will spend weeks striving to find his gems. They have every system ever made or emulate them... These guys rape the 5$ bin at Gamestop. They download old computer games. They kick everybodys ass at every game. There is no such thing as a favorite genre to them. RPGs? Own em all. FPS? Every one there is. RTS and TBS? Still play TA

Hope you can classify where you fall. If you are half and half in between, then you can just rank up to the next one. You can't really classify yourself, because most people classify themselves as hardcore when they have no right of thinking that. See: BandWagon Gamer

Onto me? I recently bought a lot of good games from Gamestop, 5$ bin of course. Chrono Cross, AC, Tenchu, Alundra 2, a few other gems.. I was surprised to find em, they are quite rare. I already owned FF7, Legend of Dragoon, and Wild Arms 2.. Still some of my funnest hours on my ps1...

Love those ps1 games. Hate when all games are carbon copies with better graphics.

Methinks the OP thinks highly of himself.

As for me, I'm the sort of gamer who plays games. (with your mind?)

I can't afford more than one game every few weeks, these things are 'spensive. I also don't spend enough time gaming to really count as a regular gamer anymore so I kinda count as casual ("average" in your naming scheme) though I do read reviews.

Hardcores usually have a favourite genre and possibly a favourite game/series out of that and know the game inside out, they're the ones who scream imba over a 5% change. Bargain bin rummaging happens with regulars or casuals, especially when strapped for cash.

Snipawolf · Post by **Snipawolf** » 08 Jun 2007, 22:51

Well, it doesn't matter if you can't afford it...

Hardcores have a favorite genre, but what I meant is even if they dislike a specific genre, they will still buy the game to give it a try.

Yeah, I guess I do think kinda highly of myself.

TBH, I would think 50 percent here are at least average, and the other 50 at least true gamers. If they were bandwagoners, I don't think they would've found Spring or TA anyways, eh?

BTW, this choice is yours to make..

I won't chastise you if you put hardcore gamer, I just wanna see what people think of themselves..

(++postcount, I so coulda edited my last one)

Also, I decided that I am half and half between true and average. So, I am an average gamer... :D

I lack the patience to play anything for longer than a week.

Usually I get bored and stop playing...
...when I've seen everything the game has to offer.
...when there is a certain ever-repeating pattern about the gameplay.
...when the game's too difficult and you can't cheat.
...when you can cheat the fun out of it.
...when there's nothing exciting about it anymore.
...when I find something new.

Guess that makes me a lousy gamer.

PS:
int postcount = 0; cout << postcount++ << ++postcount << postcount;
"112"
Know that the ++/-- prefix in BOS scripts isn't the usual way of in-/decreasing a variable. :P

I'm likely in-between a true gamer and a hardcore gamer, although closer to true than hardcore.

YOU ARENT A TRUE HARDCORE PLAYER IF YOU CANT COMPLETE SUPERMARIO 2 IN 3 MINUTES.

HALO 1 IS A GOOD GAME DONT BASH IT AND OWNING FF7 DOES NOT MAKE YOU A HARDCORE PLAYER GG

[/flame]

Snipawolf · Post by **Snipawolf** » 09 Jun 2007, 03:18

lol...?

I said they were my faves, never said anything about them increasing my rank

Not to mention, Halo (The series...) and Gears of War are all EVERYBODY at school talks about. "Halo is God" and I almost slapped the dude that said it. You can argue Halo's finer points in another article, if you would like to make one, or you can make an article saying Rpgs and FF7 suck.

I have played both, and.. One has fun multiplayer and a pretty retarded storyline (oh noez.. aliens..) and the other has good single player and a lot of free, open choices you can make.

I'm not gunna start on what I dislike already about Halo 3...

Rattle, you are fine.. I don't see much of a problem with that, when you get bored of a game, it usually means A: it sucks.. B: You just don't like it.

i hate games and anyone who plays them im not fuckin joking

Felix the Cat · Post by **Felix the Cat** » 09 Jun 2007, 05:57

Snipawolf you're such a rebel, you don't like Halo because everybody else.

Well guess what - people like Halo because it's a really fucking well-made game. Oh, and it's fun as hell.

But then again, this is exactly what I expect from someone who avidly listens to Linkin Park.

postcount +1/0 OH SHI-

Snipawolf, here's an important piece of information: you're 14 you dumb twat, you don't know everything and what's popular at school doesn't mean a thing outside of it. Linkin Park is a crappy band if you hadn't realised already but you'll grow out of it (hopefully).

I mean this in the nicest possible way
