Understandable, considering I came here originally to play Mafia....

It under emphasized my like of exploration. I think I'm a more even split between Seeker and Survivor. My social score confuses me. I like it. It's not my 2nd priority. Their "games you like" section also seems semi-arbitrary, or entirely based on the author's own experience. I guess those are just the highest scorers within each typology though. I also should have definitely gotten No Punishment, and probably No Pressure too.

I like to slip into bear caves around midnight and gently caress the carnivore inside before leaving a small cut of fresh fish and sneaking out.

What's the whole appeal about collecting one hundred percent of everything in a game? Don't get me wrong, I use to like that. Though, now a days, games literally force you to get everything for the best stuff. It just makes me sick that the only way developers can increase the length of a game is by making players waste more time for stuff.

When it comes to collecting or achieving 100%, it depends on whether it's worth it or if it's fun to do so. I mean, if the reward is a fun uber-boss or something that makes the game more fun (like Panzer Dragoon Orta's 'Box Mode' (Level select and pilots/dragons/craft not your own, each with unique playstyles each. Try beating the game with a baby dragon, and someone that doesn't use a fast gun; or with the original Blue Dragon from the original Panzer Dragoon game (Hint: Overpowered. Makes Heavy Wing lvl. 5 look weak))), then it's definitely worth the task.

Other games like Final Fantasy XII had the fun of hunting down or earning more challenging battles to face as you beat the game, some with really rewarding items, or items that lead to rewarding items. The Tournesol was definitely worth my time; also considering I was keeping my levels lower than usual to retain the challenge. Giving myself a fake difficulty setting to keep all hunts entertaining. Heck, I intended to have the uber bosses in that game a dual-match. Challenge the wyrms with lvl. 60-75, and the same battles with lvl. 99. Also a way to see what the time difference and challenge level would be depending on those factors.

As for personal achieving, just recently I was playing through Sonic and Knuckles & Sonic 3, and noticed how fast and high my score was reaching and made it a personal challenge to see if I can break 1 million points. I got close, I was off by 1 perfect special stage (50,000 points maximum). All things considered, I was going no savestates, vanilla (no mods or game genie), and only a mid-game break (Zone 7 (start of Sonic & Knuckles portion) intermission). Regardless of not succeeding, that's still the best score I've collected (ever) with minimal deaths and no continues as well. I only died 31 times the entire run, and beat the game in about 3-4 hours tops (I wasn't timing myself). Not bad considering my score at the end.

I think if I were to re-assess my title, I would be more of a self-imposed challenger achiever. I mean, I tend to do some silly things in games just to see if it's possible and whatnot. Also I find it fun to take down powerful beasts with basic, or joke weaponry. Like taking out a T-Rex with a squad of chickens, to killing off a dragon with a pistol. Yes, I do this kind of stuff more in Garry's Mod, but in other games, if it's possible (or the rules allow it), I will find a way to take something down in the most unusual manner possible. Just watch me play GTA sometime to see some unusual routes I would take to get a job done.

Sounds about right. I love games where you can climb huge mountains and jump off them or even better, floor down them in a car. I just wish there was more of them... If you DO know any like that tell me. I would be soooo happy, heh heh.  :P

GTA: San Andreas holds a few opportunities like that. First thought that came to mind at least. Nothing like barreling down Mount Chiliad with a full coach of passengers or a combine harvester.

With GTA:SA Online, there are levels on certain servers with these kind of places made out of places you would'nt expect for a landing zone (though mostly are likely landing zones (like the desert airport you get later), clearest landing zone, largest ramp in the server, good variety of rides). Nothing like go-karting down a giant ramp while a bus runs you down mid-way (and watching the bus fly off the ramp and the player driving it rages at your bad placement on the ramp). Oh, and the same mountain I mentioned earlier now comes with more variety for driving off of (with the optional stunt/obstacle course in the sky).

Chiliad Tow Truck Races. We literally invented a week's worth of game play for ourselves just doing that.
