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.

For Glory
You enjoy dominating an online game as much as the next player (maybe a little more), but it's tempered by a love of what the rest of the game has to offer, like the campaign and the story. When you need a breather from an intense multiplayer brawl, you'll gravitate toward the more chill aspects of the game.
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.

Multiplayer
Game time is your time. You like your friends well enough, but you see games as a personal experience. You will not negotiate otherwise. All you want to do after a long day is shut the door, mute your phone, and fire up your favorite single–player game. This is your happy place.
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.

If you aren't being tested to the limit at every turn, then you aren't truly enjoying yourself. You thrive on tackling the most difficult challenges and proving to yourself and others that there is literally nothing about a game that can take you down.
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.

Experimental
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.

Spontaneous
You are a silky smooth blend of strategic planning and quick thinking. You take time to plan an attack, but you can react in the heat of the moment if things go wrong. You tend to excel in small groups and co–operative games making you a valuable asset to the team.
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.

Story
You still like to sink your teeth into all the features a game has to offer, but it’s solid plot and compelling characters that really scratch that itch. You live and breathe the story and the world you're tossed into and sometimes you’ll even catch yourself creating your own backstories for characters who don’t have one. Video games are a storytelling medium after all, and that's what you connect with.
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.

You appreciate games that have a nice wintry mix of slow and fast paced moments. Both styles of gameplay have their merits. But when it comes down to it there's nothing better than firing up a game that forces you to act and move, not stop and think.
