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.
Keen Contender
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.
Proud Recluse
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.
Bunker Buster
You get the most enjoyment out of a game when it asks you to think outside the box. Hard work comes with the territory, but it’s always worth it in the end when you take everything a game has to offer and don't bend an inch.
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.
Roam Rider
While you love being led down a path set by the creative minds of the developers, your mouth still waters when a game offers a breadth of experiences or mechanics that send you off the beaten path. Different game modes? Deep skill tree? Eyebrow customization?! Tell me more!
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.
Stargazer
You tend to drift toward games with a slower pace, like sprawling open world games or smaller simulations. You play those fast–paced shooters and platformers occasionally, but there's a special place in your heart for games that let you savor the moment.
