What's your Gamer Profile say?

[ZedClampet]

As posted in the monthly thread by @Brian Boru , you can go here to generate your 'gamer profile'.

Thought it would be fun if more people posted their profiles, so if you are interested, you can put them here.

Here's mine:

Accurate, i wouldve taken more creativity and less social though.

Architect matches my MBTI archetype—any of you tried that?

 

[McStabStab]

Makes sense. I'm the guy on Chivalry or Battlefield who plays the objective and doesn't just try to rack up kills. I'm not going to min/max my characters, and I'm not hunting every achievement. I'm in it for the unique experiences.

I’ll post the full desktop screenshot later tonight. I think this is mostly true, especially the solo bounty hunter part. I do prefer to play solo, and if it’s an online game I prefer working with other players not against. The bard per though, I would say it is true but I don’t play much MMO’s or online games in general these days. I do enjoy a good hub world full of other players and typically enjoy interacting with them or doing silly things like emoting and dancing. When I was big into Elder Scrolls Online, I would playfully annoy people by strumming my lute right next to their groups.

The "social" score is a bit misleading. I love playing with friends and family. I'll PVP on Hearthstone, but only in shooters when playing with friends and family.

Architect matches my MBTI archetype—any of you tried that?

Yeah, but I don't remember what my archetype is. We had to all do it, but we never used it for anything. I was supposed to use it to better manage my employees, but I just told them to shut up and get to work. I patted them on the back occasionally to make up for it.

 

[Alm]

I keep trying my MBTI and get a different result each time. I don't feel like any of them are me.

Mine have been consistent, with a drift from one to another close by over the decades, and I think they 'get' me pretty well.

Have you tried the OCEAN or HEXACO ones, maybe they'll work better for you?

 

[neogunhero]

I retook the test because I didn't make a profile to save it, and got a slightly different result. I think the previous one is a bit more spot on, since I do enjoy co-op online games but I rarely play them anymore.

 

[Colif]

my chart seems lacking

Sounds about right. Not sure about the team arenas but games with very little story are essentially arpg. I couldn't tell you the story of any I have played.

I got the Bard:

Achievement really should have been higher. The questions all asked if I strived to get EVERY achievement. I don't do that, but I do try to get a lot of them. Community was tricky, too - I like having a community, but few games really offer much of one. I end up doing things like talking on these boards and making the occasional guide.

 

[Pifanjr]

I think this is pretty accurate. I was surprised Community is so high, but I think it's accurate when it's about playing with friends. I just don't get to do that very often because I have limited time to game and I'm never quite sure when the next opportunity to play will be.

Bounty Hunter/Skirmisher with 96% in action...... yeah not surprised. Also a lot of the games they recommend I own.... lol

 

[neogunhero]

Also a lot of the games they recommend I own.... lol

Yeah, I wasn’t too thrilled with my recommendations since I owned most of them or have definitely heard of them before. The first recommendation was Borderlands 2 which I remember buying right around its original launch.

I'm not too sure on mine. I was sort of waffly on a lot of the questions, with the exception of the Achievement and Multiplayer ones, two things I just don't care about in games.

I do suppose I try and master games and be the best that I can be at them, but I don't care about competing with anyone else. But it really depends on the game as far as trying over and over and over to master a thing; Dark Souls, yeah. Any Roguelike? No, not really. I do think the motivations seem generally correct though.

 

[Brian Boru]

a lot of the games they recommend I own.

…

my recommendations since I owned most of them

That means the model is very good at identifying games for you. About 75% of my recs I own or have wishlisted—however, it did include a bunch of RPGs in the rest… am I sliding down the slope to perdition?

 

[Pifanjr]

About half of my recommendations are ones I've played or plan to play. It's better with the Game Distance Method.

 

[Brian Boru]

the Game Distance Method

I didn't get the method difference, did they explain that somewhere?

 

[Frindis]

I would flip and put in the bard instead of skirmishes, but I do also like fast-paced arenas when I play with friends.

 

[Pifanjr]

I didn't get the method difference, did they explain that somewhere?

Yes, right under the recommendations.

For the Gamer Neighborhood Method:

Starting with your Gamer Motivation Profile, we first identified the 1,000 most similar gamers in our data set. Then, we tabulated all their favorite games and adjusted these frequencies by each game’s baseline popularity. Thus, a QF score of 2 means that gamers most similar to this profile are twice as likely to list this game as a favorite compared to gamers in general.

And for the Game Distance Method:

Starting with the games you mentioned that you enjoy playing, we identified the games in our full catalog that are most similar in terms of their motivation profile (i.e., shortest distances from the games you enjoy). Thus, a shorter distance means a higher similarity to the games you enjoy.

Bard/Slayer? There's something that just ain't right about a system that gives rise to Bard/Assassin multi-classing.

Bard/Slayer:

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a bard/assassin in a video game before.

I'm starting to see a pattern here:
