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.
Thrill Seeker
You tend to have more fun engaging with the low–pressure, low–stakes aspect of the game. You prefer to explore, dive into the story, or just mess around, but, every so often, you'll test your skills in the arena, just to prove that you've got the chops to win.
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.
Party Starter
You've got a healthy friendslist and you're all about the shared experience. While you appreciate what solo games have to offer, playing with others is just... better! Whether you're trying to compete in a few online matches or shooting the breeze with some friends, it's a party either way and you're sending the invites.
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.
Gadgeteer
For you, a game is at its best when you have the power to make your own decisions and craft your own solutions. Your perfect game blends a well–designed campaign with a vast array of customization tools, side quests, and modes that really let you spread your wings.
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.
Schemer Streamer
You are careful and fastidious in every game you play. Think first, act second, win third. Maybe some of your plans come together on the fly, but you prefer to pick your battles cautiously and plan from afar before acting.
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.
Haptician
You're mechanically driven with a strong attachment to the emotional side of games. But as much as a good story warms your heart, it's functionality that really hits that sweet spot. You get swept away by the feeling of hitting that perfect combo, a mesmerizing simulation experience, and the way Master Chief whacks someone with the butt of his gun in CE. Pure bliss.
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.
Time Taker
You're familar with the pulse–pounding aspects of games (heck, you even enjoy them to a degree), but your comfort zone is firmly in a slower, more deliberately paced experience. Sometimes you just like to watch your protagonists sitting around a fire, reflecting on their adventures. It's soothing, ya know?
