By The Monster That Killed Kieron on October 2nd, 2009 at 3:43 pm.
Hullo. I just killed Kieron. He was typing quietly in IM trying to avoid my attention, but John Walker did something in capitals, so I heard it. I have now killed him. He’s lying on the floor, and I’m having the occasional nibble. Nothing quite like New New Games Journalists to chew on. He appears to have left a half-done post here, so I’m going to do it, before pressing on and hunting down Walker. I can smell his spoor, so he can’t escape me. Apparently, PC Gamer twittered this quiz which categorizes what sort of gamer you are. Apparently you’ll find it fun. And here’s a list of what assorted gaming luminaries have got…
Wait – these are all journalists. That doesn’t sound very luminescent to me.
Ex-PC Zone editor Will Porter is a Survivor-Seeker!
Ex-PC Format Dan Griddleoctopus is a Seeker-Socialiser!
Un-Ex-RPSer John Walker is a Seeker-Mastermind!
Un-Ex-Anything Lewis Denby is a Survivor-Daredevil!
Ex-PC Format Un-Ex OXM Mike Channel is a Daredevil-Mastermind, which he describes as a “Pretentious Thicky”.
Un-Ex-Microsoft-Lackey-in-chief Jon Hicks is a Seeker-Daredevil!
Un-Ex-Whatever-He’s-up-to-now-is-it-still-PC-plus?er Richard Cobbett is a Mastermind Seeker.
Ironically, Ex-living Kieron was a Survivor-Seeker. “You like pulse-pounding risks and escaping from hideous and scary threats as well as finding strange and wonderful things or finding familiar things”, apparently. Sadly, he failed to escape and the strange and wonderful thing found him.
You’re next, Walker.

Survivor-Seeker with the No Mercy exception, and this is bullshit (especially the No Mercy part).
I don’t like the games they say I like.
I don’t usually play multiplayer precisely because I don’t want to hurt or annoy the other players. I hate team-based games because I don’t want to be the noob that frustrates the others, I don’t want to be the weak link. In Quake Live (where I only play FFA), I’m one of the few that doesn’t kill AFK players, because I know they’ll feel like shit when they get back.

Seeker-Mastermind. Problem is, most of the things they list in the I love it- I hate it, i really do love. I dont think they got a lot of usefull data out of that from me.
Example: Driving around in the Daimler as a tanker in the WaW(World at War) Tournament, and constantly flanking enemy Panthers with my company captain, nothing has ever made my heartbeat explode that much when playing a game. Why? You have to a. make sure nobody is watching him, b. Drive up behind him, and then hit him in the sweet spot. If you mis, chances are you will be dead. Everytime i drove away after i kill i felt a moment of supreme victory, which i find unlikely to ever have again in a game. The only other instance i feel this is when i jump out of a plane.

I took the quiz. good, except for the ‘horror’ part – I simply dont get scared by games at all and find most survivor-horror games utterly boring, thus I find the answer option “dont like being scared” incorrect

Heck, sometimes I care about not hurting the feelings of the AI.
report
I came out as a seeker-socializer, and I’m not surprised – it does fit. However, what I enjoy the most in a game there are few games providing: Building, being truly creative. Second Life offers it to a limited degree, the Sims games offer some, that contraption game (I forget its name) gives a taste of it, Spore has elements of it, any games character creation has some, Little Big Planet has some of it – but there are no games truly focusing on it as the meat of the game. I guess what I’m talking about is the same process that brings joy to an artist showing off his or her work. I don’t think it would be right calling it achiever behavior?
report
Survivor-Mastermind! Ha. Muahahaha!
report
I got a Survivor-Mastermind – “You like pulse-pounding risks and escaping from hideous and scary threats as well as solving puzzles and devising strategies.”
My exception was no commitment – “You dislike being asked to complete everything, preferring to pick and choose which tasks you will attempt, or simply messing around with a game.”
I think that sounds about right. For me, it is far more important for a game to be atmospheric and to draw me into the world (although I find it irrelevant whether that world is very controlled by the developer or not.) I do find horror to be very effective in games.
The exception is probably less true, but still has an element of truth. I’m not interested in getting achievements, unless there is some reward to be had. For example, in Team Fortress 2 I would be going for the achievements to unlock the weapons, but wouldn’t bother going for them once I had all the weapons (even if I wasn’t that interested in the weapons.) Similarly, I’m playing Prototype and very much enjoying running around the city and doing all the side-missions. But, that is to do with finding the missions fun rather than wanting to complete them all.
My socialiser was down to 3, so I was kind of surprised that I didn’t get the no mercy exception that many here got. I was certainly very down on playing with others. Not particular because I dislike playing with others, but I generally prefer single player games.

I think the main problem with this test is it asks about what you feel most rewarded by, but not what you seek most actively.
For example, it told me I was a Socializer-Conquerer– I’m sure one of the reasons was I rated “A moment when you feel an intense sense of unity with another player.” at a 7.
The thing is, though, I don’t try to seek that out. I don’t ever expect it. I love it when it happens, but I’ve never found any reliable way of making that happen. Some of my favorite moments in gaming have been when my players actions and another synchronized– but primarily because of the rarity of it.
What drives me to play the games I love, and my favorite moments in my gaming life, are entirely separate animals.

My problem is that when a game invites me to collect everything, I’m bound to do it – like a job.

I got ‘Daredevil-survivor’ Which I feel is about right. I hate pausing my games, I hate stopping to take check of things, I like the game to accomodate my desire to be always moving towards my objective, and not say ‘well, because you didn’t pussyfoot around for 8 hours doing squat all, you’re going to miss the plot’. If I have 4 health and 3 bullets, then that’s the situation I got into, and that’s where I’ll get out of again.
That said, I really love slow paced strategic games, I just consider them to be completely distinct from games designed to induce adrenaline. If a slow, nuanced RPG wants me to talk to everyone in the city and solve their problems, that’s fine. But it always bugs me when that same RPG gets to act 4, the big bad is enacting their plan, and every character is like STOP THE VILLAIN NOW. then I get my movement hat on, and missing the plot because I didn’t say ‘the villain can wait, you were telling me about your missing bread?’ bugs me.

Considering that my favourite things in games are often bolting around, doing totally insane things, and seeking out wonder, I’d say that’s about as accurate as accurate gets. Mastermind came very close to Daredevil though, but that’s probably because I like my puzzles and went so far as to cite Uru as one of my three games.
Socialiser had almost as much as Mastermind, and the other three (Achiever, Conqueror, Survivor) were 0. Achiever I’m glad about, since ‘achieving’ in games these days amounts to unlocks and achievements (no thanks!), and I’m too much of an ethical person to ‘conquer’ anything, in any conceivable way.

Suppose I should comment on my results.
Well they fit, and don’t really surprise me, although I’d be tempted to swap mastermind and seeker around, if only because the latter is also indirectly responsible for some of my score in daredevil and achiever. I’m more than happy to pull off a silly stunt if it gets me somewhere new, and most of my pro-achiever responses were down to my drive to ‘see’ everything.
The low score in survivor is hardly surprising, running away from stuff causes me to do a Dara O’Brien and begin offering food to monsters as I repeatedly ram my head into a wall. Similarly I’m not hugely fond of stealth, as the tension makes me panic.
I’m also not at all surprised to be scoring similarly to Mr. Walker. I’ve long realised that he is the member of the hive-mind most closely aligned to myself.

“You like solving puzzles and devising strategies as well as collecting anything you can collect or doing everything you possibly can. According to your results, there are few play experiences that you strongly dislike.”
Gave me a Mastermind-Achiever despite the tie between Achiever and Conqueror, which was spot on. Those are definitely the big three for me, in that order. The conquering is the visceral reward, the achieving is the compulsive reward, but the strategy required is the key element that keeps me coming back to a game – that separates the good games from the great ones. TF2 is a wonderfully fun game, but it wouldn’t be half as fun if I couldn’t look at a battlefield situation, say “oh, if a class X did Y, it might force/allow Z,” and then go off and do exactly that and have a hell of a lot of fun doing so.
My favorite game by far is Mass Effect, which I think matches with the numbers here perfectly. Why is it so awesome?
1) Mastermind: Building your character for maximum combat efficiency (best build is an Adept+Bastion with an extra AR talent), stepping through a quest trying for a specific outcome, stepping into a room and figuring out the most efficient way to clear it, etc.
2) Achiever: Assloads of items, quests, and conversations to complete. I think the first time I played the game it took me ~63 hours because I’m such a sidequest whore; even now when I know exactly what I’m doing, I’m lucky to be done with it in ~45.
3) Conqueror: Combat is FUN. A perfect blend between the intensity of a good FPS and the strategy involved in a good RPG.
Oh, and 4) The most kickass storyline I’ve seen in any game ever.
Also, my prayers are with Kieron’s family. :P

I’d like to know the answer to the most important question: Who gets all Kieron’s shit? I suppose that the RPS survivors (should there be any) could hold some sort of raffle for readers, or just keep it all for themselves.

I must say I’m not sure about the validity of this test. Seeker is undoubtably correct, but I’m having my doubts about the Daredevil part. Also, it was a remarkably short test and I feel I could’ve filled it out quite a bit differently.

I got mastermind-seeker which seemed about right I guess. It told me I dislike being under preasure which is spot on. However I found the questions felt rather flawed in that they only asked about the positive aspects of gameplay. I mean sure I love completing collections but I bloody hate the process of doing things like that. I do love solving puzzles but I often hate the process and the frustration that so often goes along with games that feature puzzles.

Yep, sounds pretty accurate! Not all that surprising, given the questions they asked, but I do get a kick out of this sort of thing. For the record, the games I mentioned were Warsow, Deus Ex and Worms. I guess I picked a mixture of games to reflect different facets of my gaming personality, rather than three to exemplify a single favourite type. Warsow is the one that best fits my results, while Deus Ex is a fairly obvious exception. Worms might seem to be pretty much the antithesis of my 'type', but given that my favourite gametypes involve high-speed ninja-roping, that's not actually the case.
The 'defeating impossibly difficult foes, struggling until you eventually achieve victory' part is accurate, but mostly in terms of 'beating other players'. That is, I love a challenge in multiplayer, but when it comes to single-player I often lack the motivation to improve, unless a game really hits the sweet spot in terms of 'feel' (mechanics, controls, etc.). I'm not particularly good at single-player games, preferring either a challenging but simple (and hard to fail so badly that it's not enjoyable) game like Tetris, or something story-based and compelling like Deus Ex.
