Are you a Perfectionist? Just a main game person? Play only one game at A time? Play many games at a time? Game Collector? I just want to hear different peoples play styles in any game.

To start, I play many games at one time and never really finish them. Im trying to stop that lately by beating every game in my house focusing on one at a time. I am sometimes a perfectionist, but only If I really like the game

[The Matrix CBC]

I am a perfectionist. I like to get everything in the game from start to finish, which usually means that, by the time I get anywhere near completing the game, I'm bored of it, and I put it aside and come back to it at a later date. Right now, I'm trying to complete FF VII, FF IV Adv., FF V Adv., FF VI Adv., FFTA, FFTA2, FFT PSP, FF II PSP. I'm just all over the place. And it's very...hard to get back into the swing of things. Anyway...yeah. That's me. The crazy gamer.

[KeyranSolo]

When it comes to RPG's, i'm definitely a completionist, after i've finished the game once, I always feel as though I have to finish again collecting everything and finishing the game 100%.

I have a large amount of games, but i'm not neccersarily a collector.

[Faith]

Depends on the game really. I'm definitly not a collector. I only own about four or five games, haha. I'm a perfectionist if I get addicted to the game and really like it, if not then I just try and get through to the end, regardless of whether I've done all the sidequests, etc.

So...yeah. A random gamer. Yaaay.

[Secret Weapon]

REALLY, I'm a perfectionist but sometimes also a sampler. I don't know why I do it. Most of the time, I just sample a game to test how much skill or effort I can output. With FFVIII, I wasn't too interested at first but when I had really trialed it, it made a significant elevation toward my gameplay skills. I hate beating a game a not actually COMPLETING it. So yeah, perfectionist.

[Treize]

Usually I'm some what of a perfectionist. When I play RPGs I always try to do all the sidequests and get all of the equipment/items. Really the only thing I don't do is max out the characters' stats. I find it pretty boring and a waste of time. It takes forever and there really isn't any gain to doing so because you can usually beat everything at level 60 with ok stats. I just raise my stats so that I can beat everything in the game. Also I usually only play one or two games at a time. I like to enjoy the game and keep playing it instead of switching it for another game.

[Doc Rocco]

I tend to focus on one game at a time. On my first playthrough, I focus on the story really and end up doing one or two side quests inadvertently. If I like the game, my next playthrough will be more or less perfectionist.

[Priscilla]

I am a collector. I buy games all the time I can't help it. If I like it I buy it. So because of that I tend to play many games at a time which means it takes awhile to get through all of them.

I tend to only play the game once through though and then move on to the next.

[Confession]

I would say I am the Perfectionist-Collector type.
I own nearly every game I have ever bought, and I buy games very often.. I only sell ones that are completely useless to me now.
And as for the perfectionist, I like to play a game at least 3 times through, with the 3rd being a 100% complete.

[Loaf]

I play games to get the story and be done with it. But if the story gets to me very well then I play it more times with different challenges.

Metal Gear Solid series. Beat it once just straight through. Next times I try and get all secret items, beat with 1 type of gun. Final Fantasy, I tend to just play them to play them. Stalker, is probably the one game I play over and over and try new methods every time.

[Silver]

I'd call myself a dedicated gamer in that I can't stand to not finish a game, mainly as I want to know how most end. I become a perfectionist on games after beating it the first time myself for the story. I can't stand major spoilers in the games I invest my time is on the first playthrough. After that, anything goes.

I'm also a genre specific collector. It can feel like I lose a limb when I trade in an RPG, but many games of most genres I don't care quite so much for. I'll beat them once or twice and then use them to get me a discount on the next thing.

[Sean]

I'm a perfectionist, I hate leaving something behind and if there's some sort of system to track my completion, I'll always try to get it to as close to 100% as possible (Xbox 360 achievements are a bad thing for this habit of mine, haha)

I'm also a one at a time kind of person; I find it hard to swap back and forth, I never get anything completed that way in the long run.

I'm also a collector; wether I deem a game worthy of buying is wether or not I feel I want to say I "own this game." I have a ton of old SNES carts I'm proud of (Secret of Mana, FFII, FFIII, Mystic Quest, LoZ: LttP, Chrono Trigger) and a lot of old PSX RPGs I hold on to.

[Meier Link]

I am an addict/ collector

When it comes to playing style I want to do as much as possible as quick as possible, one of the shoot first ask questions later, I got to have it all the time and when I am really into a game when I am not playing it I am talking about it and when I am not talking about it I am thinking about it, drives me nuts sometimes haha. But there is also the completionist side of me that makes me required to do a second playthrough to find everything and I won't stop til I get it and EVERY thing is DEAD. hahaha

But when it comes to being a collector (same as the addict side) I horde all the games I have ever owned. I still have every game and console clear back to my NES and hundreds of games inbetween all the systems I own. I DONT like getting rid of any no matter how bad they are. And once I get hooked on a series I must obtain all of them one way or another.

[Unknown Entity]

I collect games! All together if I count my PSOne, PS2, PS3, and my brothers Xbox and Xbox 360 games, I have some where between 200-300 games! Most of them I can't even find - I have no idea HOW I've lost so many seeing as the flat I live in tiney lol, - and I'm sure they are around somewhere... I've kinda built this collection since I got my PSOne back in 1998. I know it was 98 because we got it just after Tomb Raider III came out... My first game... :3

Erm... I like finishing a game 100%, BUT only if I like the game. I'm definatly going to re-play Uncharted again on all of the difficultys, and I want to unlock everything! Assassins Creed... Well... I never finished that because it was the only game I had at the time for PS3, and I didn't want to know what happened in the end incase its a long time before I get another game (if that made any sence at all...). I gotta play that and collect all the flags. Have no idea what they do though...

This holiday, when I don't have any plans, I wanna go back and re-play ALL of the TR games on PSOne, and anyother PSOne game that will take me back down memory lane... One final time...

EDIT: WOW! its my 10 year Anniversary of playing games!!! YAY!

[DragonHeart]

I'm something of an RPG collector, though sadly I was forced to give up about half my collection recently. Mostly the oldest games that I no longer had the console for. The vast majority of my RPGs remain intact, though.

I too am a completist, which makes just one game last for a really long time. My first run through is always solely for the story. I usually end up doing a few sidequests here and there but I won't seek them out or anything. Second run is usually reserved for that sort of thing. After that it's sort of a mix between the two, and only very occasionally will I attempt things like max stats or character challenges. That's really the only thing I don't bother with simply because I don't like grinding. Unless I can find an easy way to do it, like in Suikoden IV. >_> I had all of the 108 who participated in battle at level 100, woo! But I used the levelling trick for that, otherwise there was no way in hell would I have done that the old fashioned way.

So I'm a completist but not a min-maxxer. Most of the time.

I'm an RPG gamer i don't really collect but i usually only complete a game that has a story line that drags me in it doesn't matter what battle style but i hate timed things there my one true annoyance (a small reason y i didn't like FF8 don't get me wrong it was good just don't like time things).

I play many games at once but if i find a game i like i carry on and complete it before the rest.

[zSoraz]

I am a definite perfectionist. I just have to have a game completed for some reason. I can't leave anything undone or unbeaten and have to have all the best unlockables. It's the reason why I never completed Final Fantasy X-2 and why I can't finish Crisis Core (even though I'm at the last part).

I am also a collector, but only of game series I really like, such as Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, even if I don't like one of the individual games. I used to collect Harry Potter games too, but after Goblet of Fire, I thought it was a waste of money. At that time, I discovered Final Fantasy. I'll probably just buy the Wii versions of Order of the Phoenix, Half Blood Prince, and Deathly Hallows when they're like $20 each. lol.

I'm very competitive playing video games, dating way back to the Pokemon Red/Blue versions, where I spent countless hours leveling up and perfecting my ultimate pokemon squad. I was king of the Elementary school in pokemon, and people even wrote down in my 4th grade yearbook that I was the "Pokemon Master"!

Upon playing a new game or starting a new file or whatnot, I'll usually dump a bunch of time, like from 6-10 hours at the start on the first day, then I'll kinda throw it into my usual routine of games to play that I have. Sometimes it will get lost in the laundry list of games to beat, but by then I'll have something else sweet to play so it wont be any big deal.

[Dragon_Jiriki]

I play a lot of rpgs and racing games and I am most definately a perfectionist - I want to find everything the first time i play the game. The more side quests or extra tracks, the better!!

[Selenay]

Depends on the game I'm playing I guess. If it's a really great game I tend to focus on that one game and don't play anything else. But sometimes I just get bored in the middle of a game and play something else. Regarding RPGs though I'm a perfectionist I guess - want to have every single item etc. I have a lot of unfinished games laying around, even some I have never played so far... One day I wanna finish them all, but somehow I can't get bothered to play anything much lately...
