what kind of gamer plays GW?

most gw players i've talked to fall into 2 categories: WoW players & Halo players. now, i wonder:

1) what kind of games do you play in addition to gw? (fps, strategy, rpg etc)

2) does your gaming preference influence what gw classes you pick? (for example, i love tactical shooters like R6 Vegas, and also love the ranger class in gw. i'm not into warcraft iii, and don't play mm necros in gw)

p.s. to all you console gamers: get a mouse!

1) what kind of games do you play in addition to gw? (fps, strategy, rpg etc)
- FPS


2) does your gaming preference influence what gw classes you pick?
- I don't think so, but I <3 playing ranger, so it could be..
** Since 4 days I also <3 playing the paragon o,o

Only profs I dont like to play are:
Warrior
Dervish

I play cod4, halo 3, assassins creed, grand theft auto etc...nothing linked to gw but i still love this game

1) FPS, Stratergy....this is my first RPG.

2) Hmmm that's a tough one, I generally don't stick to one kind of profession I like to experience all aspects of a game. If I had to choose a general area I'd say support.

Haha, agreed.

1) I play rpg, rts, and fps - though normally my preference is in that order.

2) I'm more of a caster than melee, but once again I try to play a bit of everything.

I don't play assassin, just never really hooked me. Partially though I'll admit it was because the armour choice for the profession is really quite poor. If I became interested enough in the armour I would try again.

I tend to play games not even listed (Madden, GH, Rockband et al) but I seem to be gravitating towards shooters and adventure games now (Assassin's Creed, Halo, but I suck at it). Also love strategy games like Age of Empires and the like. These games don't typically influence my choice in GW (how can being a guitarist or a drummer influence what I pick?).

I tend to start out with a rogue-like character like a ranger or an assassin. I eventually move on to caster types such as an elementalist then I pick up the core frontliners like warrior and dervish. I end up trying all professions and like the variety in play styles (especially when I monk).

I play mostly sandbox games and games where you can customize stuff.

I mostly played a PvE mesmer using oddball builds that tried to do anything I could think of, so I think that's my enjoyment in games. Playing around with things and seeing what I can make.
I was never really interested in beating anything, just making stuff. I never bothered to finish Prophecies or EotN, but I spent 2 years playing, mostly in the training isle area. XD

I play alot of non-turn based heavily story driven RPGS, the occational action/shooter.

I play a Warrior as my main and my Ele is quickly taking second place. Not really influenced by other games,I like shooters but really hate the ranger. And alwats tend to play more stealth based chars but hate sins.

And I am really starting to see the "PC Gamer Aryan Race" mentality thing I keep hearing about. I like my consule just fine thank you.

Nooooo mice for me when console gaming.
It requires a surface and console gaming is more fun when I am lunging around.
I don't like sitting at a table when playing on my console. I sit back in bed.

I've found they fall into 3 categories: Boxers, breifs or commando.

Here are a few off the top of my head.

PC
Half Life1-2/ep1-ep2
Portal
TF1-2
CSS
NWN1-2
C&C 3

Console
Assassin's Creed
Need For Speed Carbon/Pro Street
Forza MotorSport 2
Halo1-3
Call Of Duty 4
Guitar Hero2-3
Armored Core 4
Devil May Cry 4
Tony Hawk's Project8
Fable
Resident Evil 4
etc...etc.....

1: I play pretty much any genre of game whether it be strategy or RPG/FPS as long as their fun I play them. Although I have to admit that I've always been more interested in RTS games like the Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War series.

2: I've always had an affinity for melee oriented classes in games, I'm not too choosy and don't dislike any classes but my three mains are Warrior/Dervish/Assassin so I guess that says something about me.

PC, online:

Started with Diablo 2, then went to Dungeon Siege, now GW.

PC prior to online: The Doom series, Quake, Unreal Tournament series

Consoles back when:

Pong*, Gorf*, Missle Command**, Space Invaders, Castle Quest, Mario Bros.

* = bought these machines 1 quarter at a time.
**= Controlled the top 10 scores for months in ........

Shall I keep going?

(Pinball anyone?)

I am that rare, special breed of gamer that is like a fine wine....you know...the kind of wine that a James Bond type would sniff it and say something profound in French before taking a sip.

The kind of gamer that other guys really look up to and respect. I'm well known on just about all the major gaming boards and people really, really love me.

I'm the best at every game I play while still maintaining the respect and like of all individuals...in other words people don't hate me because I'm good, they love me in spite of my superior talent.

I guess that's the type of gamer I am.

everyone, bow down to afrika18, the model gamer we all love and respect. "afrika" is German, nein?

RTS - > RPG -> FPS ->every other genre

I have played: Halo, Starcraft, Warcraft 1-3, Diablo 1 & 2, Pokemon, Tales of Symphonia, every Legend of Zelda, Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy 5-8, and so many other games that would take too long to type out.

What kind of gamer am I? The kind that just plays to have fun. I'm not trying to be the best, I'm not trying to be well loved or admired, and I'm not trying to prove anything at all to anyone except I know what to do and I'm good at doing it no matter if I win or lose in the end.

One word: Entertainment.

hmm...

1) I play almost any game, but prefer RPG.

2) I also play every profession....
In order of preference:

Paragon - Strong damage, party support, survivability, what more could you want?

Monk - I am good at it, enjoy surviving the "tough" spots and triple aggro.

Assassin - Always love underplayed/underestimated professions. I think the Assassin is very underestimated.

Ranger - Like bows...like interrupts...like pets...thats about it.

Dervish - Take a beating, give out a beating, and blind absolutely everything.

Necromancer - Like the concept, but gets boring.

Ritualist - Love the concept, but lack of interesting skills is bad.

Mesmer - Fun in PvP, not worthwhile in PvE.

Elementalist - Boring....

Warrior - Just no, absolutely hate it for PvE and PvP.

1) FPS, Strategy, and RPG. Adventure, too, if there were any good adventure games out...

2) Gaming preferance? Not too sure. It's more about the game in general: I'm always a warrior in every RPG I can make. Of course there are exceptions, like WoW for instance, my favorite classes are a Warlock and Mage.
