Profile Details
Each profile type consists of 7 different criteria, each with 2 opposite traits. Everyone is unique and will possess tendencies towards all traits, but will often be more inclined towards one over the other.
In some instances, a player will enjoy both traits equally and be considered balanced on that criterion.
Competitive
This criterion reflects the level of importance that winning is to our enjoyment. Those who simply love the experience of playing are For Fun and those who seek the thrill of winning are For Glory.
Ready Rival
All aspects of a game appeal to you. Exploring a game world for hours? Aw yeah! Charging into battle online? Heck yes. Getting emotionally invested in the story? You know it! For you, it's all about what you're in the mood for and who's knocking on your door to come out and play.
Players
This criterion demonstrates our preferences for playing with others. Those who enjoy taking in all a game has to offer by themselves are Solo and those who love the experience of interacting with others are Multiplayer.
Happenstancer
You enjoy the best of both worlds. Whether it's an epic solo journey through a zombie–infested wasteland or an online party game with a few friends, you feel right as rain. Your game collection is a healthy mix of both experiences.
Challenge
This criterion underpins our desire for difficulty, or lack thereof. Those who play for the experience, not the frustration, are on the Easy spectrum and those who always take the road least traveled will be on the Hard side.
Danger Ducker
You love a lot about playing games, but being crushed by overwhelming odds is not one of them. You have zero qualms about choosing an easier game if it means you'll enjoy all the beautiful things about a game's world and story a little bit more.
Creativity
This criterion illustrates how we progress. Those who forge ahead with purpose and direction are Practical while those who wander and find their own objective are Experimental.
Venture Hunter
You applaud games that aren’t complex for complexity's sake. You want clear direction, but you also can't help but enjoy the depth of crafting, the freedom to pursue any number of side quest paths, or fine–tuning your car before a race.
Strategy
This criterion determines how we approach a situation. Those who carefully gauge the situation before acting are more Planning oriented while those who react and adjust on the fly are more Spontaneous.
Feint–Hearted
You like to strategize and plan ahead almost as much as you love to dive in and think on your feet. Races are won on the racetrack, not in the conference room. So while there is definitely a plan of action in your head, you trust your instincts to guide you once the boots are on the ground.
Immersion
This criterion depicts what aspects of a game we are absorbed by most. Those who sink into the feel and flow of the gameplay are Mechanic–focused and those who are swept away by the world and its characters are Story–focused.
Fictioneer
You live for the emotional connection that games create. A well–developed story arc, complex characters, and a vast, beautiful world enlivens your experience so much more than pushing buttons. Sure, gameplay can be satisfying, but you find story and meaning by playing with your friends (and enemies), through incredible triumph and bitter defeat, or even by wandering for wandering's sake.
Pace
This criterion shows how we prefer engaging with our games. Those who savor the moment and take their time are on the Slow side and those who want to progress and make decisions are Fast.
Cruise Controller
You enjoy a balance between games that allow you to relish the moment and those that push your quick decision–making skills to the limit. Some days are for lazy rivers and a piña colada, and others are for white water rapids and a rocket launcher on each shoulder. It's all good to you and you wouldn't have it any other way.
