p.s. to all you console gamers: get a mouse!

1) You name it, I play it. Puzzle (all kinds), adventure, FPS, RTS, TBS (turn-based strategy), RPG, MMO, fighting, racing, whatever. I enjoy them all. I think there are two main types of gamers: those who obsess, the critics, hardcore, etc.; and those who just enjoy them for what they are. I am the latter.

2) I think so. Since I enjoy many different types of games, I can enjoy all the different classes about equally. The only reason I say 'about,' is because I have a certain loyalty to my first character, my necro, whom I chose for no particular reason other than I liked the way she looked.

I didn't say what type of games I liked!
I liked GTA:San Andreas and Oblivion and the Sims 2 and Morrowind and probably will like Little Big Planet.

I don't game as much as I'd like to, but I like action and adventure games, and a bit of FPS is fun.

Zahr Dalsk · Feb 26, 2008, 06:20 AM // 06:20

FPS games. RTS games. Action RPGs.

But my favourites by far are true RPGs like Baldur's Gate, NWN2:MotB, PS:T, etc. Mask of the Betrayer in particular is a game of the highest order of quality, ever.

I play casters in most games.

The kind of gamer that other guys really look up to and respect. I'm well known on just about all the major gaming boards and people really, really love me.

I'm the best at every game I play while still maintaining the respect and like of all individuals...in other words people don't hate me because I'm good, they love me in spite of my superior talent.

I guess that's the type of gamer I am.

Guild and IGN please.

I need to be /ranked by you after reading this.

Silly kids, who do you people honestly think you are?

Shadowmere · Feb 26, 2008, 06:50 AM // 06:50

1.) I enjoy pretty much every type of game you can think of, everything from tetris to halo. my big ones are of course easily acronymed; RPG, FPS, & RTS. Guild Wars is my only MMO however.

2.) I think it does affect what style I prefer in GW, I absolutely adore being Minion Master, I often find myself comparing it to RTS style of play. I do however enjoy playing all the professions, but nothing beats that sense of power I get from controlling an army of undead

Martin Alvito · Feb 26, 2008, 06:55 AM // 06:55

Civ games. Rise of Nations. Master of Orion.

Diablo 1/2.

D&D based games - all the way from Gold Box through Baldur's Gate and NWN. Might and Magic series. Bunch of other traditional RPGs along the way (all the way back to Wizardry I).

Mechwarrior series. Falcon (what a great sim game that was).

KOTOR, Phantasy Star.

The odd platformer (Ninja Gaiden, Crash Bandicoot).

Some racing games - one of the later Need for Speed games, Gran Turismo, etc.

Old school adventure games - all the way from Infocom text adventures up to the stuff put out in the mid 1990's or so.

Half-Life (only shooter I ever really cared for).

Don't think you can pin me to a single genre. As for influences over character choices - I like to blow things up. However, I spent much of my first year monking HA and GvG, so there you go. (No place for Fire Eles in top-end GvG back then.)

I've never come across a genre of game which I hate, except possibly the grindy mmo type thing. I played WoW a bit, got bored since I don't have the time to make the time investment a game like that requires.

I get a headache from console games because of TV refresh rates, but I could solve that with an LCD tv. 1st person shooters also give me a headache, so its RTS and RPG for me mostly.

Quite frankly, I've done less of non-online games since starting online games.

pfaile · Feb 26, 2008, 09:10 AM // 09:10

I have played games since pong and across all consoles and pc eras. I enjoy rpg's the most. I sat out this round of consoles due to money (had to upgrade my pc for school). Hell, I will be honest, I bought a better computer to play Oblivion. The best games I could play on my last computer were the last few Might and Magic games.

I hate to be on the same page as Akuma, but

1) everything
2) no

I go commando of course I'm a wammo! *does /dance*

Otherwise though, I play a lot of everything. Sports, RPGs, FPS, sandbox. Just depends on my mood.

Kityn · Feb 26, 2008, 10:59 AM // 10:59

1. I play MMO,Strategy,FPS,Action,Simulation and prolly a few more I can not think of. There are some in my Guild that came from Diablo and some that have never played an online game before.
2. Previous games I have played has no or very little influence on what I play in Guild Wars.

ZenRgy · Feb 26, 2008, 11:00 AM // 11:00

Warcraft 3, Starcraft and Team Fortress 2.

Micro, micro, micro!

ReiNaruto · Feb 26, 2008, 11:04 AM // 11:04

I mainly play RPG's and real time strategy games. Despite that my favorites are Space Combat simulators and Graphic adventures, but in the last times there is a lack of good games in both.

I don't think that it has influenced in my character choice. I play mainly Ranger, and monk.

Oukanna · Feb 26, 2008, 11:10 AM // 11:10

I used to play Final fantasy a lot!! i also play Lord of the rings online as well as guild wars.
As for Fps, I started playing UT with a couple of friends for fun.

I basically like anything fantasy-ish RPG style is also something I like.

(When bored in college i sometimes play minesweeper xDD )

Washi · Feb 26, 2008, 11:10 AM // 11:10

Warhammer 40k Dawn Of War

Alex the Great · Feb 26, 2008, 11:16 AM // 11:16

I play strategy games (Empiter earth, all three Age of Epires)
only 1 shooter (UT3)

Didn't affect my class choice, i'm eclectic with my classes ( I have a Level 20 Warrior, ranger, monk, ritualist, assassin, and elementalist)

Nevin · Feb 26, 2008, 11:28 AM // 11:28

FPS, Strategy, Fighters, RPG, and Adventure... Really just about anything- Its not about the genre its about how good/well the game is and represents.

Unfortunately as far as tactics go, on an individual scale I can't represent my ideal preferences. But usually I like going for abstract strategies that others often would never consider. See ---> All Warrior Teams, All Mesmer teams, in the screenshot forums.

Edit: Halo sucks. Theres no need for me to further elaborate.
