What sort of gamer are you?

I play Mainly Rpg's of any kind and if theres a difficulty setting its always on hard or normal it's generally the same with shooters and action/adventure games too. on my first playthrough i usually rush it to get the storyline, then i playthrough again taking more time to level up and explore(find the secrets and stuff)
 
In most games, especially RPGs, I like to take things slowly. Call me crazy, but there's something oddly satisfying about talking to every NPC there is in a game and finding out what they have to say. It might just be OCD but I feel like I've skipped a big part of a game if I don't talk to all the NPCs and haven't explored every nook and cranny.

Though I do spend very little time on grinding. I only grind for two reasons: If the battle system is fun (which is almost never) or if I need to do it to get farther in the game. When I'm going around, exploring and adventuring, doing quests and accomplishing goals, I feel much more satisfaction. When I grind, I fee like a robot and like I'm wasting my time.

In games that require a lot of strategy, I rarely take the time to actually, you know, strategize. Generally I enjoy having a more kamikaze attitude and just going for it. And when I win I feel like a genius c:

I rarely if ever played an RPG for anything but the storyline, so I wasn't very thorough with NPCs, Sidequests, or any of that; at least until I completed the game once, mind you. I would look up the plot of the internet, but I'm pretty sure most of you would agree it's just not as satisfying.

FPS/TPS games are my primary department, and I play these often. My role here varies depending on what gametype I'm playing, but I'm usually playing a support sniper or a rifleman. I'll occasionally go Rambo mode with a LMG if I'm in the mood, but that's a pretty rare occurrence.

RTS Games are not my department. My usual strategy here is to sit back and build up a solid defense before starting on a large offensive force. TBQH I think this is a better alternative to the rushing strategy (if a rusher goes up against an anti-rusher, it's over fast and it's ugly).

In general gaming, I am a serious achievement whore. I will play through a campaign three times just to get the frikin' gamerscore out of it, even if it is hours of mediocrity (coughBFBC1cough).
