What type of gamer are you, fast, slow?

When I say that, I mean are you the slow and steady, find everything do everything type, or are you the type who tries to beat a game as fast as possible. Me I fit into the first category, I spend a lot of time at work and trying to get back into school so I am the slow and steady type, it will take me forever sometimes to beat a game lol. Plus, I like to make a great game last.

I have way too many games left to play to complete them all, let alone try to get archievements. Sometimes I' ll get a new game that I get really get into (Dishonored for example) and I play the hell out of it for a few days / weeks. But longer games like rpg's I tend to get distracted half way through and don't finish it until months later.

I used to be the slow and thorough kind of gamer, always approached games methodically. Now I'm just kind of sporadic and in the air

I just have too many games for me to spend a lot of time on. For a game I really enjoy, I'll try to go slow.

I like to take my time when i play games.

MMOs I try to play fast, everything else slow. I examine everything, look at the details, find hidden things, finish all content. I find no pleasure in rushing something like Skyrim, Mass Effect, Assassins Creed, etc.

I'm extremely slow. Gotta check every nook and cranny of ever environment - who knows maybe there's an awesome weapon stashed back there. I don't do every sidequest but I'm sure I was 100 hours into Skyrim before I even got halfway through the main quests.

I'd say I'm methodical (is that slow?). I like open world games with a lot of side missions or other secondary activities, areas to explore and hidden things to find. I'm not fond of linear games that keep me on a narrow path, especially if the game sets the pace rather than letting me move along at my own speed.

It depends on the game some games (Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus) I'm really fast and beat the game 100% in a day; Other games (Red Dead Redemption) I take my time and constantly gets distracted with side missions, challenges, and exploring to even do the campaign.

Good question, there is neither the one, nor the other for me. I usually love to do sidequests if they're fun and don't repeat themselves too often, but if a game asks me to find 700 collectibles without any help I'd just collect those I can pick up along the way of the normal story progression.

Games like Infamous 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Saints Row The Third and The Amazing Spiderman though handle collectibles pretty good, you have to find a certain amount by yourself and in the first three mentioned games so you get the option to let them indicate on the map, but this option is free so for people who lave to check every corner of a city still can do that, while in Spiderman it will be automated. In THIS case I'm a "slow" gamer as you call it and go for all the collectibles, but with them all showing up on the map it's still a pretty quick process :P

I normally take it slow and try to do everything.Especially if the game is short and has littel replay value after completition.

Slow..especially after 6 cans of carling black label!

I often try to be slow and steady-- this also applies when I'm actually playing. Incidentally, I tend to suck at competitive multiplayer-- I'm too cautious and conservative.

Slow. I couldn't play fast, especially if it's my first time playing a game. I love to explore and make sure I don't miss a thing.

Depends on the game, normally though i always end up trying to 100% them but my first time through, i focus on story then side-contents (if any) after.

The first time I play through a game, I search every nook and cranny I can find. I'm an explorer. Been so forever. Every time after that, unless I am trying for a specific achievement/trophy, I burn through the game trying to best my previous attempt. One of my main gripes about games is non skipable cut scenes. I can understand them being on by default, but we should be able to turn them off if we so choose.

Slow and steady. I try to appreciate the game. And I hate it when I finish a game I really like.

Like Tales of the Abyss. I was both really happy and upset when I beat the game. Happy because it felt like an accomplishment, and the game has a good ending, but also upset because it was all over and I really wanted to the story to continue.

So I try my best to savor every minute of games I like.

Slow and steady. I like to explore and not rush, especially if I'm having fun playing. My greatest gaming experiences came from taking my time and throughly enjoying the campaign. If I want a quick game, I'll hit up multiplayer.

If I get a new game, I'll play the campaign for a couple hours at a time. I don't like to rush things. But sometimes I get sucked in and play through the night.:P

Depends on what type of game it is. For Open-world type games I take awhile, other games like Action or FPS I move through them pretty quickly.

I often play quite slowly. If a game is truly great I want the experience to last as long as possible.

i would say a moderate pace....

but if i had to pick between slow or fast, im a faster gamer than a slower one....

Explore ALL the corners.

Definitely a slow gamer. I'm usually more interested in getting sidetracked than completing the actual story (mind you, I still intend on getting that far).

Faster than prunes through a short grandmother.

Kinda slow but it also depends on how good the game i was playing

I'm very slow, I like to explore all of the gaming world I'm in and examine most of the neat graphics and textures, so I explore every nook and cranny. If there's an area of a map that shows I haven't explored it just drives me crazy lol

I'm in the middle. I like to take some time and do a fair share of the ancillary stuff in many of my games.Archangel3371

Slow and steady. I try to find everything, and complete all the side quests. I play games to enjoy them, not to brag about how fast I was able to play through a game. Seems like a waste of $60 to rush through something.

Definitely slow.
