尽管这种分类法遭受诟病，但将我们的游戏玩法风格与相应模版对号入座仍不失为一种趣事。通过这种分类，我们也可以快速发现自己可能会喜欢或者容易厌烦的游戏类型。

gamer-categories(from gamersnexus.net)

完成主义者

此类玩家关心的是成就和进展，其主要目标是完成游戏的主要目标，其次是游戏的次要目标，之后才是游戏中的其他内容。如果这是一款多人游戏，完成主义者就会就会致力于炫耀自己的状态和累积财富。如果游戏可以被击败，那么你就会去打败游戏，如果游戏要求收集物品，你就会去收集物品。你就属于那种会多次回应开放游戏的人，无论身为“善”“恶”，都会打败游戏，或者回应游戏所呈现的其他选项。

如果游戏要求获得更高的分数，或者呈现新的冒险路径，你总会想法让自己找到最佳选项。你很在意游戏提供的所有内容，并从中找到最合心合意的东西，时常发现自己对取得进展的过程颇为上瘾。你就是那种在《天际》中挑战“硬核模式”，只是为了一看究竟的群体。无论游戏是线性还是开放性，只要它存在目标，你都将永往直前。

你最喜欢的可能是：RPG、MMO和具有挑战性的游戏。

典型游戏：《Morrowind》、《天际》、《SWTOR》、《Baldur’s Gate》系列、《无冬之夜》、《Cave Story》。

破坏者

没有什么游戏难得倒你，你会研究最佳战略，最强大的方法，地图布局，攻击方向，或者很擅长杀戮（无论你是否分析了自己运用的方法）。如果游戏中具有杀戮元素，你就会杀个片甲不留。破坏者喜欢想出全新而创造性的方法打败他人，在可向服务器中所有玩家展示技能的多人游戏中尤其如此。

frozen-synapse(from gamersnexus.net)

无论这是一款潜行游戏，开放攻击游戏，还是一款《虚幻竞技场》与《雷神之锤》结合的多人游戏，只要可以消灭竞争对手，你就会大行其道。你最关心的是点数和杀戮-死亡率，如果是在单人游戏中，你就会尽量发挥创意以消灭自己的宿敌。无论有意还是无意，你都极具竞争力。

你最喜欢的可能是：FPS、RTS、技能型游戏。

典型游戏：《反恐精英：起源》、《Day of Defeat》、《Red Orchestra》、《Company of Heroes》、《StarCraft 2》、《Planetside 2》、《Age of Chivalry》和《Battlefield 3》。

创造者

原创性、创意性以及扩展性是你玩游戏时最重视的因素。你喜欢建设、创新或者修改游戏。对创造者来说，搜集资源、建设城市以及创造内容的乐趣远甚于杀戮和完成目标。你情愿投入数小时安装修改版游戏或建设城市而非完成目标。你经常向自己的好友展示作品，无论他们是否在意。你因自己的创造力，以及富有创意地利用有限的资源而骄傲。

但你也有弱点：你很容易厌倦游戏，或者质疑游戏究竟有何意义。

你最喜欢的可能是：开放式RPG、基于Mod的游戏、建设型游戏（游戏邦注：例如《Minecraft》和城建游戏）。

典型游戏：《Minecraft》、《Tycoon》系列，《Terraria, X3: Albion Prelude》、《Dwarf Fortress》、《Spore》和《Hinterland》。

思想家

你是游戏领域中正在消失的一类人，但你发现自己在所有游戏群体中最具战略性和先进性。你在游戏中会目光长远，极具战略性地扩展自己的帝国——思想家专注于做出有益的妥协，以便最大化自己将来的收获，最小化潜在风险。解决复杂的问题，无论是谜题，贸易通道的盈利性，还是攻击路径都是你最喜欢做的事情。你讨厌束手束脚的感觉，希望游戏能够让你自己解决问题。

你喜欢（或者可能喜欢）桌面野战游戏或者谜题游戏。你最关心不同的帝国建设类型或者谜题解决方法，并会多次完成同一款游戏，只是为了以不同方法解决同一个问题。你甚至可能会“自找麻烦”让一款原本毫无内涵的游戏变得更加有趣。

你最可能喜欢的是：回合制战略游戏、RTS、谜题游戏。

典型游戏：《全面战争》系列、《Hearts of Iron》、《Aperatus》、《Frozen Synapse》、《SpaceChem》、《传送门 2》。

探索者

对你来说，最重要的莫过于找到开发者所提供的最广阔、激动人心的场景，你十分重视探索和冒险元素。探索者会从缺乏目标的旅程起步，以便查看游戏中最令人印象深刻的区域。你喜欢不同的视觉效果和居民，以及游戏世界的可信度，甚至会为了看到更多区域而耽误了游戏的主要任务。

x3-explorer(from gamersnexus.net)

探索者倾向于在游戏中收集无意义的道具（游戏邦注：例如书册、武器、小工具），并将它们展示给所有人看（即使是单人游戏）。与多数朋友不一样的是，你是以自己用最快的速度探索完整个地图为骄傲。探索者很擅长在游戏中“自得其乐”，这与创造者有点相似。

你最可能喜欢的是：MMO，开放式RPG，扩展型游戏。

典型游戏：《Morrowind》&《Skyrim》、X3系列、《Minecraft》、《Trine 2》、《Divinity II》、《SWTOR》和《Dwarf Fortress》。

休闲游戏玩家

“为什么要这些累赘的玩意儿？我只想在自己有空时坐下来玩玩游戏而已。”你对游戏并没有那么着迷，。你只在自己闲暇的时候玩游戏，享受非竞争性，无压力的游戏体验。休闲游戏玩家会玩简单的游戏——手机游戏、社交游戏、独立游戏、益智游戏，并且与思想家颇有关联。你可能会觉得AAA游戏存在不少问题。

你并不想大开杀戒，因为你不喜欢这种重复性和令人抓狂的行为，也不喜欢无限地完成目标，或者花费数天时间建造一座城堡，你只想不费太多力气获得放松，如果游戏不太残酷，你偶尔也会觉得游戏很有趣。

你最可能喜欢的是：休闲游戏、益智游戏、平台游戏、街机类游戏。

典型游戏：《Audiosurf》、《Beat Hazard》、《Droplitz》、《Scribblenauts》、《Spectraball》、《Zombie Driver》和《Orcs Must Die!》。

挑战者

纯技能、精致而讲究速度的游戏对你最有吸引力，你喜欢精通一款游戏，并在其中获得最记分的感觉。如果你们抱怨游戏太难，你却会感叹：“接受挑战吧！”然后你会煞费苦心地想出最怜惜的解决方法，保存体力并积累点数。

对你来说，不存在折磨人的平台游戏，也没有什么街机游戏会让你劳神。你就是那种为了挑战而玩《星际争霸》的玩家。挑战者通常会在单一的关卡上投入数个小时，只是为了以最为准确的方法控制时间和完成目标。对你来说没有什么目标算是困难的。

你最可能喜欢的是：平台游戏，街机游戏。

典型游戏：《I Wanna Be The Guy》、《Silver Surfer (NES)》、《Super Meat Boy》、《VVVVVV》、《Bit.Trip Runner》、《Jamestown》、《AaAaAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity》、《N+》。

冒险家

这是探索者和破坏者的合体，冒险家喜欢游戏中的剧情和刺激感。他们最可能一次在游戏中沉浸数个小时，也最容易被游戏中的故事和美妙的景色所吸引。冒险家喜欢搞破坏，但只破坏与故事有关的内容（或者他们厌烦的时候，就会无故展开杀戮）。你会尽量看到更多内容，完成故事，同时让自己乐在其中。你并不像完成主义者那样希望完成游戏中所有的事情，但却像探索者一样易因许多有趣的元素而着迷。

你的弱点也在于冒险精神：你很容易发现游戏中的瑕疵，频频发现其中的故障，以及故事中的漏洞。你很擅长找到其中不协调的因素，而如果这会让你抓狂，你也会看在好故事的份上尽量对其妥协。虽然你并不像探索者那样讨厌线性游戏，但还是更喜欢开放式游戏。

你最可能喜欢的是：RPG、基于故事的MMO游戏。

典型游戏：《辐射》、《天际》、《Baldur’s Gate II》、《龙腾世纪：起源》、《无尽之夜》、《Icewind Dale》、《生化奇兵》、《刺客信条》。

Gamer Personalities: What Type of Gamer Are You?

15 January 2012 Steve Burke

Sometimes, despite the stigma associated with them, it’s fun to figure out which stereotype is linked to our gaming play styles. Besides being sort of fun and self-indulgent, it’s also a fantastic way of figuring out which games you might like and which you’re likely to get bored of rapidly.

Completionists

You’re focused on achievement and progression; your primary objective is to complete the game’s primary objectives, then its secondary objectives, then all the other content in the game. If it’s a multiplayer game, Completionists often look to show off status and accumulated wealth. If it can be beaten, you beat it; if it can be collected, you collect it. You’re the type of person that will reply an open-ended game multiple times, likely opting to beat it both as “good” and “evil,” or whatever other options are present.

WHY DO I KEEP ACCEPTING THESE?

If it means a better score or exposure to a new adventure path, it is not below you to load and re-load in an effort to locate the best option. You are concerned with seeing all there is to offer and enjoy getting your money’s worth, at times finding yourself obsessive about progression. You’d be the type to play Skyrim in “hardcore mode,” just to see what it’s like. It doesn’t matter whether it’s linear or open-ended, as long as it has a goal.

You most likely would enjoy: RPGs, MMOs, games of challenges.

Games to look into: Morrowind & Skyrim, SWTOR, the Baldur’s Gate series, Neverwinter Nights, Cave Story.

Destroyers

No game is too difficult for you; you research the best strategies, the overpowered approaches, map layout, assault directions, or — if these things bore you — maybe you’re just damn good at killing things, whether or not you analyze your approach. If it can be killed, you kill it, maim it, destroy it, and leave nothing behind. Destroyers enjoy figuring out new and inventive ways to take people out, especially in multiplayer games where skill is shown to all in the server.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a stealth game, an open assault game, or just a multiplayer mash-up like Unreal Tournament and Quake; as long as you can obliterate the competition, you’re happy (and damn good at it). You are most concerned with points and kill-death ratios, if it’s a singleplayer game, you try to get as creative as possible when it comes to vanquishing your foes. You are very competitive, whether or not it’s intentional.

You most likely would enjoy: FPS’s, RTS’s, games of skill.

Games to look into: Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat, Red Orchestra, Company of Heroes, StarCraft 2, Planetside 2, Age of Chivalry, Battlefield 3.

Creators

Originality, creativity, and expandability are your most important factors when playing a game. You like to build, innovate, or heavily mod your games. Collecting resources, building cities, and creating content are extremely enjoyable to Creators and supersede killing and objectives; you’d rather spend hours installing mods or building cities than completing objectives. You often show your creations off to all of your friends, whether or not they care. You’re original and take pride in using limited resources in clever ways.

Tolkien would be proud… or horrified.

You do have a weakness, though: you’re concerned with becoming bored and burning out; many times in the past, you’ve found that you just simply stop playing a game or question what the point of the game is.

You most likely would enjoy: Open RPGs, Mod-heavy games, Builders (i.e., Minecraft or city simulators).

Games to look into: MineCraft, the Tycoon series, Terraria, X3: Albion Prelude, Dwarf Fortress, Spore, Hinterland.

Thinkers

You’re of a dying breed in gaming, but you find yourself to be the most strategic and advanced of all the gaming stereotypes. Settling in for the long-haul and strategically expanding your empire is of great importance — Thinkers are focused on making beneficial compromises in effort to maximize your gain and minimize the potential for a future set-back. Solving complex problems, whether puzzles, profitability of a trade route, or paths of assault, is your favorite aspect of gaming. You hate it when games hold your hand and prefer to do it on your own.

You likely enjoy (or would enjoy) tabletop wargames or puzzles in addition to your gaming habits. You’re most concerned with different types of empire building or puzzle solving and will often complete a game multiple times, if only to see the different ways to solve a problem. If you have to, you’ll self-impose problems to make an otherwise thoughtless game interesting.

You most likely would enjoy: Turn-based strategy, some RTS, puzzle games.

Games to look into: The Total War series, Hearts of Iron, Aperatus (mobile devices), Frozen Synapse, SpaceChem, Portal 2.

Explorers

Unveiling the most expansive, breathtaking environments that the developers had to offer is incredibly important to you; exploring and adventuring are of paramount importance to you. Explorers embark on objective-less journeys to see the most impressive regions of a game. You love the visuals or inhabitant variations and believability of a game world and will even ignore main quests for days-on-end if it means seeing more of the land.

One of many star systems in X3: Albion Prelude.

Explorers are prone to collecting pointless items in games — books, weapons, gadgets — and putting them on display for all to see (even if it’s a singleplayer game). You take pride in the fact that your map, unlike many of your friends, has almost every icon fast-travelable on it; you’ve seen all there is to see. Explorers are proficient at ‘making their own fun’ in a game and are often similar to Creators.

You would most likely enjoy: MMOs, Open RPGs, expansive games.

Games to look into: Morrowind & Skyrim, the X3 series, MineCraft, Trine 2 (incredible visuals), Divinity II, SWTOR, Dwarf Fortress.

Casual Gamers

“What’s with all this stereotype crap? I just sit down and play whenever I can.” You really don’t think that hard about your games — you play when you can and tend to enjoy non-competitive, low-stress gaming. Casual gamers find themselves playing whatever’s easily available – phone games, social network games, indie games, puzzle games, and often find themselves relatable with Thinkers. You might also find Triple-A games to be problematic, as pointed out here.

It’s not of your concern to kill lots of people, which you find repetitive and frustrating anyway, or complete infinite objectives, or spend days building a castle; you just want something easy that doesn’t take a lot of effort, although you do sometimes find thinking games fun, as long as they’re not brutal.

You would most likely enjoy: Casual games (derp), Puzzle games, platformers, arcade-style.

Games to look into: Audiosurf, Beat Hazard, Droplitz, Scribblenauts, Spectraball, Zombie Driver, Orcs Must Die!.

Challengers

Games of pure skill, refinement, and speed are the most respectable in your eyes; you love mastering a game and being the best in the high scores tables. If people have complained about how difficult a game is, you’re the one that exclaims: “CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!” You take it upon yourself to painstakingly figure out the fastest routes, preserve lives, and accumulate points.

There is no platformer too grueling for you, no arcade game worthy of your dedication, and no gamer that comes close to your attention to timing and sequencing. You’re the very same type of person that plays games like StarCraft only for the modded challenges. Challengers will often spend hours on a single level, trying to perfect timings and complete goals with utmost precision. No goal is too hard for you.

You would most likely enjoy: Platformers, arcade-style games.

Games to look into: I Wanna Be The Guy, Silver Surfer (NES), Super Meat Boy, VVVVVV, Bit.Trip Runner, Jamestown, AaAaAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, N+.

Adventurers
A unique mix of explorer and destroyer, adventurers love to play for the story and the thrill of the game. They’re the most likely to get immersed for hours at a time, and are captured by compelling stories and fantastical landscapes. Adventurers like to destroy, but only when it’s relevant to the story (or they get bored, but they don’t save if they kill things for no reason). You try to see as much as there is to see, complete the story, and still have fun at the same time. You’re not interested in finishing everything in the game like the Completionists are – but you are captivated by many of the elements that Explorers find attractive.

Your weakness is also what makes you an Adventurer: You can easily locate flaws in the game, notice glitches frequently, and find gaping holes in the story. You’re skilled at locating inconsistencies and, while it drives you crazy, you try to get over it if the story is good enough. Linear games don’t bother you as much as they would explorers, but you still prefer openness.

You would most likely enjoy: RPGs, Story-based MMOs.

Games to look into: Fallout, Skyrim, Baldur’s Gate II, Dragon Age: Origins, Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale, Bioshock, Assassin’s Creed.（source：gamersnexus）
