DARKSOULS RPG with multiples online pvp is mine. Still on it 24/7... DARK SOULS RULES!!! and worth all my $$$.
I'm a mostly a completionist but I can be mix of that, speed runer (mostly when it comes to mario) and extrovert.
I am definitely the completionist. I will spend long hours making sure I have the best gear from an RPG.
I'm a mix of all of these, I'm just all messed up, it really comes down to the game and how interesting the game is to me. As a whole though Completionist would most define me with a touch of Exterminator. For these 4.
Out of these 4 I'm an extrovert. I like helping out and playing with other people doing whatever in an MMO. If it's single player I like to have my character talk to everyone and generally be helpful and nice...sometimes. Unless I have an evil streak they I just take what I want and set people on fire...
1 Like completionist and exterminator lol i did play all through mass effect 1 just to play mass effect 2 i bought the same day of release
@towely62 I can't play through a game if it's a sequel or part of a trilogy without playing the first game in the franchise. It just kills me, feel like I'm missing out on so much. I will make exceptions though. Games like Call of Duty and Battlefield where I care little about the story and characters.
1 Like I'm a completionist to a certain extent. 100% is my goal even though it has been hard to reach at times with constant DLCs coming out. As long as I get 80% complete I'm happy. And on the other side of the coin I'm an extrovert.
Completionist!!!!! I've gotten 100% on every GTA from 3 and up! I beat Assassins Creed II 100%! I beat Beyond Good and Evil 100%! I beat all 3 Mass Effects with the same character and got to level 50! I put over 130 hours into Final Fantasy XII! Completionist!!! (or almost comlete)
Extrovert. Love Multiplayer and Co-Op games. Wish they will have more co-op games in the future.
Wrong: They are known to finish ME1 twice (once in hardcore mode) so that they could start ME2 at level 5 instead of level 3.
Just found out dynasty warriors is a great game for exterminators. You be like MWAHAHAHA, FALL BEFORE MY BLADE FOOLS. It's more fun than sites give them credit for
i think i am Completionist & Exterminator mixed........i love ARPG gamez....even MMOz but don't like 2 be 2 crowded.
1 Like So busy staring at her didn't hear a word she said.
Bah! Beautiful women have it tough to be taken seriously.
1 Like Exterminator =DYou're definitely right. I never get bored of grinding unless the gameplay is too crappy and unacceptable.
Depending on what game I play, I fluctuate between Completionist and Exterminator. I don't do speed runs and I don't play a lot of multiplayer games.
All of them.
Except maybe the Speed Runner.
I haven't raced through a game since the original Mario Brothers, once I learned where the warp tubes were...
I was definitely a completionist when it came to the Mass Effect games, absolutely loved that game and wanted to leave no stone unturned, otherwise none of these seem to apply.
Completionist/Exterminator for me. Especially for the first playthrough. I need to kill every enemy and speak to every person. In my first playthrough of Skyrim I had one quest glitch and every time I opened my questlist for the rest of the game I would cringe knowing I would never complete it.
1 Like I'm not a solid match for any of these. It depends on the game whether or not I'm a completionist or extrovert. I've never really felt the need to kill everything in a game so that rules out exterminator. And I like to take my time with games so I'm definitely not a speed runner.
I'm about as much of a completionist as you can get...got the platinum trophies for FF13, Dead Space 2, Uncharted 2, LBP, Batman: AA, Deus Ex, HR and more
I'll play pretty much anything :P
