What Type of Gamer are You?

• Do you like to find every secret, complete every sidequest, and find every item before you face the final boss?
• Do you prefer to beat the game then go back later to get all secrets, sidequests, and items?
• Do you only care about finding the items and sidequests that are necessary to beat the game?
• Do you usually end up stopping half way through a game and never finish it?
• Do you only play the multiplayer parts of a game, or only play single player because it unlocks multiplayer features?

On my first playthrough, I try to get a 100% completion without looking for a gamefaq or a game guide online. After I've beaten the game once and decide to play it again, I'll usually check online to see if I missed anything cool like secrets, items, or special sidequests I might have missed the first time.

If the game proves to be really involving, like you can easily clock 40 or 50 hours into it, I usually won't stop halfway through. If I do, most of the time I'll just start a brand new game whenever I start playing again. Enough time will pass that I forgot what I was doing when I last stopped, and I feel that if I just start over, I'll be better prepared for whatever happens. This, incidentally, is the exact reason why I've yet to beat Oblivion!

Concerning secrets and sidequests, I try to find and complete ALL of them before I beat the game. I like experiencing the entire game instead of rushing through it and missing out on something cool.

If there is a strong multiplayer component, I'll jump in it occasionally, but I'm usually a single player type of guy. Like, if I'm playing F.E.A.R. for the PC, I'll go online and do some deathmatch if I feel like it, but it's not until I'm tired of the single player campaign. Then I can spend weeks playing online, but that's with fast-paced FPS games; if I'm playing an RPG that has an online feature, I usually won't play it. Except for games like Neverwinter Nights, online RPGs usually don't focus on a strong storyline, and that's a must on RPGs for me.

I'm a completist in the sense that I have to finish all games I start. I love doing most/all of the sidequests before I finish, but I never bother trying to get 100% in any game. There's usually one small sidequest that's just a time sink and removes all sense of fun.hellhund

Tatz how i feel now wit twilight princess. I m trying to do the rollgoal so i can get the frogger lure n it is pissing me off.

The first one that comes to mind for me is the toy airplane mission on GTA:SA. After the first couple of dozens tries, it just wasn't fun anymore.

I always go for the 100% on any games. I just restart an Ocarina of Time playthrough. I know the game very well but it's been a long time that I didn't beat it at 100% with all the Gold Skulltula and the heart pieces. The last time I did that was in 2000.

When I'll get SSBB, I ask my challengers because there's people who challenge me to wait at least 2 weeks to have everything before playing online.

i`m tend to be a 100% one... exc when I did not had time to play, so I have a pile of a tons of games to beat (which happen for this season...)

So now i`m just completing the games and getting 100% in some.. (Z&W would go just with complete, I wanted to get the highest score and all the treasure, but no time for that... 15 games 2.5 month :P ) I keep going to completing PoR 100% thus.. is one of teh CV missing the all lvl up, all characters complete and such :P

I own so many games that I am backed up a good 5 years now and could seriously play a different game that I own and haven't completed until they are all done and wouldn't be buying another game until until around 2012-13. But since I am a collector and what little playing time I have gets spent in online multiplayer mostly.....I don't see these games getting complete anytime soon.Deominator

haha, yeah i try to beat my games before i buy new ones, but its hard when u see them on the shelves just staring at you

Well the day I get Brawl I'm going to try to get 100% completion on it. In most all of my games I try to get 100% through it. Except games that I lose interest in. Then I'm just kinda like "Oh well...It's not even worth it"

I do both B,C and D.

Some games i want to 100% (Mario Galaxy), but some i could not be bothered (Final Fantasy Series).
