Your gaming style?

I call it cheating.

RTS primarily. Mostly just one game... my favorite game ever.

Also RPGs... and especially Blizzard ones. D3, D2, WoW, etc.

As for FPS... I only like the oldskool ones before FPS got pussificated and turned into nothing but spawncamping and hiding behind walls. Also linear storylines with unskippable cutscenes in single player... yuck. I miss the epic 1993 level design of Doom:

I like Mario and duck hunt. So both...

I disagree that there's only two styles, but I am a more rpg/base builder type player than fps/co-op player

Definitely not only two styles lol.

But the whole duck behind cover/shoot/cover again/repeat of FPS is super mentally draining.

Glad we agree on that one!

That's why I like the old style FPS's!

Watch this video for juicy oldskool goodness from my favorite YouTuber ever:

Yeah, games are definitely being dumbed down. On another forum I frequent, someone was asserting that Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was an obtuse game to play. Now, admittedly, some of the secrets require some weird uses of your character's abilities, but getting the best ending doesn't require anything more than pattern recognition and a desire to explore the castle. But because the game doesn't hold your hand and tell you exactly where to go or what to do, he considered it difficult.

Can't play FPS because I get an instant headache.  (Got sensitized by watching someone else play Castle Wolfenstein 3D for several hours.)

I'm more of an RTS type.  Rather fond of the original Starcraft; haven't set aside the time to finish SCII yet.

Tried to play Baldur's Gate but never figured out how to get out of the castle in scene one. :-D

Talk to Gorion near the middle of the map.

When I was in my yout (14/15) I'd come home from school, stick on Call of Duty and tell strangers over the internet how I'd shagged their mums while 360 no scoping them to get the final killcam.

Nowadays I'm into RPG's and stories. The Witcher 3, Fallout, Mass Effect. I also like open world games, and any game that really puts you in the shoes of the character you're playing.

I still like the occasional FPS but they don't hold the same appeal to me.

I loved the Borderlands games ... unique visuals...

Yeah wish I could describe them, kind of like a combo of a comic book/painting but hyper real. I've never played it on my PS4 but it has some of the best graphics of any game on PSVita IMO.

Do I recall correctly that you are a PC gamer? The PS systems are a little different as they have a chip that can put a line on the outside of the images so it looks like its drawn like this:



It's really not the most impressive screenshot in the game but you get the idea.

I think it's beautiful. I love the art style of Borderlands.

I played it on PS3 back when I had a PS3 and used it on my exroommate's TV.

So I don't have the game anymore. As there's no point keeping it when I don't have a PS3.

I've been meaning to buy it and play it again for cheap on Steam. And I ALWAYS prefer the PC versions to console versions (unless it's an awful console port).

Excited about playing it on PC someday. Although nowadays I'm too busy playing AoE2, Dawn of War, and a selection of Roguelites.

1337.

I used to Halo a lot, all games up to 4 then I stopped. Average KD on halo reach and 4 was bordering on 3 but I preferred big team battles as I found the carnage brilliant.

Destiny was my last FPS online multiplayer and I had a KD over 4 in 6v6. But I was strictly hunter class with a golden gun every game as I knew how to maximise the glass abilities each map. Plus my clan was good so we only lost when coming up against serious hardcore players.

Other than that I’ll play any type of game. I prefer RPGs and strategy games, mostly.
