Updated OP with requests.

I`m a mix between: The Old Timer, The Rager and The Leveller*.

*The Leveller: Loves to level up his characters and wants as much control over the character progress as possible. Gets mad if an RPG only allows 20 character levels or less!

Heh... I don't know. I guess a bit of -The Scientist- and a bit of -The gamer-?

Save for some few genres (JRPG mostly), I can usually enjoy pretty much everything, and while I do dislike JRPG in general, there are still some titles that I like or at the very least, that take inspiration from them. I can play RPGs, racing, FPS, point and click adventure games, platforms, puzzles, RTS, turn-based games (athough, when it comes to RPG, I prefer RTwP rather than TB), the list goes on...

Also, I don't do this to every game I play, but I do like to mess around with the game's file. Sometimes I like to create some basic mods if it doesn't require too much time. Mostly textures and meshes replacers.

Fake Gamer Girl and SJW Entryist. :P

I would add "The Architect". Back when I was involved in game development and level design, I used to find myself spending lots of time analysing objects, architecture, effects, scripting, etc. in games for ideas or just to figure out how they were done and implementing assets using similar concepts.

Another is "The Photographer", which is sometimes linked to "The Architect" and is someone who takes lots of screenshots while playing in order to scrutinise or just enjoy.

With that, I would be Old Timer, Nerdy Gamer, The Architect, The Gamer, The Pro (highly game dependent), Casual Gamer (when I'm in "chillout" mode) and The Photographer.

Occasional Binge Gamer perhaps.

- Old Timer
(Has been gaming since the 80's). ✓

- Nerdy Gamer
(Also loves comics, Star Trek, gadgets and other nerdy stuff). ✓

- The Noob
(Completely sucks at any type of game, but has too much fun to give a crap). ✓ on occasion, yes.

- Basement Dweller
(Only leaves the gaming rig to eat, sleep, or crap - basement not required). ✓ I've done that during my single days.

- Casual Gamer 2 (Prefers easy mode). ✓ On occasion, when I'm curious about a game of a genre that I would normally don't play and want to finish the game quickly.


- The Retro Gamer
(Prefers 8 bit graphics and chiptunes. Will not leave the NES...ever). ✓ Not necessarily a preference, but I love those. I'm currently playing mini SNES games...

- The OCD Gamer
(MUST explore every possible corner of a map, collect everything, talk to every single person, and often must get all achievements). ✓ Minus the achievements that I don't really care for, I do all of this. But I have a thing for maps. I love maps. I love shadow mapping. Maps maps maps!

- The ADD Gamer
(When given an important quest, always gets distracted along the way by something else: "Ooooh a cave!!"). ✓ Get sidetracked sometimes... Ok, all the time.

- The Farmer
(Sits in one spot on a game and kill zombies for 12 hours straight, or until said zombies drop a shiny weapon or other shiny item). ✓ I've played mmos, so I have done that.

- The Scientist
(Loves to experiment. Will often load a save, try to do something, and reload/quit afterwards just to see what will happen. Enjoys figuring out how the game works, and what the game mechanics are. Will sometimes play a game in unusual ways just to see how the game behaves, sometimes using cheats or intentional deaths). ✓ I've done all of the above -and more- when I was a video game tester.

- The Vampire
Stays up way past dawn playing games. Rarely sees daylight. ✓ Been there.

- Hardcore Gamer
(Lives for games. Likes many types of games and spends way too much time playing games. Very competitive. Prefers difficult games. Also known to be very antisocial in some cases). ✓ I'm a little bit of everything.

- The Gamer
(Likes many types of games, plays a lot of games and has a natural talent for games). ✓ Yeah, I'm a natural at spending too much time playing games!

I would fall into the following:

- Hardcore Gamer.
- The Gamer.
- The Vampire.
- The Collector.
- The OCD Gamer.
- Basement Dweller.

For games I really like, 100% achievements are a must. For those without achievements, a full clear run save data and screenshot of completion (for titles like Agarest and Bastion, that hold internal achievements in a way).

I also have a must do that is, that if a game series is incomplete in my library, I very much prefer not to play them until I have the full collection and play them straight one after another. It feels... wrong to me, to play a game knowing that more will follow and knowing that at some point I'll have to shelve it until I get them.

Happens with Ys, with Legend of Heroes, Hyperdimension Neptunia (hoping the rest of their games make their way here)... Final Fantasy are mostly an exception because they are not tied to each other most of the time.

Perhaps a Quirky tag could be added in this regard? For people that have their particular ways to play games. Leaving it up to the OP if he/she/it deems it necessary.

Please teach me your ways and save my digital soul from the casul peasantry.

I guess I'm closest to The OCD, though I don't care about achievements.

I would be a Casual Gamer 1 with a little Nerdy Gamer. I like a lot of things the Nerds like, but I do not spend a lot of time playing. I would also enter the category of Noob Gamer in strategy games :)

A mix of backlogger, collector and casual gamer 2. I buy a lot of games, but often find the games I buy way too hard and definitely too many to finish them all.

I'm a "Nerdy Gamer" and "Gamer" but with the caveat that I play most games on Normal, then if they get too frustrating downgrade to Easy.

90% Gamer (dunno about natural talent but the rest is so vague anyone here should be able to identify with it)
80% OCD Gamer (minus the achievements)
70% Backlogger
60% Collector

50% Old Timer (depends on whether "gaming" includes playing at friends' computers or just your own)
50% Basement Dweller (I tend to overdo it occasionally, yeah)
50% ADD Gamer (dunno, depends on the game)
40% Nerdy Gamer (I enjoy comics, movies, etc. but I wouldn't consider myself a nerd; a geek at best)
40% Retro Gamer (not a preference, but I'm pretty open towards it)
40% Scientist
30% Vampire
30% Hardcore Gamer (only because I'm really into games, not because I'm competitive or like high difficulty)
30% Noob (I do suck at some, but in general I don't have much trouble finishing most on Normal mode)
20% Casual Gamer 1 (there is always something else to do, but often gaming is more fun)
10% Casual Gamer 2 (normal mode is usually easy enough for me, with very few exceptions)

05% Rager (hardly ever happens; I'm pretty calm most of the times, and if I rage I just do it on the inside)
00% Fossil
00% Pro
00% Speedrunner
00% Streamer
00% Hardware Enthusiast
00% Farmer
00% Troll (AKA 'Griefer')

It's like doing a DNA testing.

This is fun!

Here are mine:

The Noob
(Completely sucks at any type of game, but has too much fun to give a crap).

Casual Gamer 2
(Prefers easy mode).

The OCD Gamer
(MUST explore every possible corner of a map, collect everything, talk to every single person, and often must get all achievements).
Minus the achievement thing.

The Vampire
Stays up way past dawn playing games. Rarely sees daylight.
I don't actually have the time to spend every inch of it playing games, but when I do set aside a junk of time just for gaming, I love playing games after the sun sets and all through the night.

The Gamer
(Likes many types of games, plays a lot of games and has a natural talent for games).
Minus the natural talent bit. I really do think this is what being a gamer really is. Simply enjoying having fun with different varieties or genres of games (barring some levels of personal threshold and taste). A game is a thing that just catches your attention and makes you want to explore what it has to offer.
