Quantic Foundry: What Men and Women Consider Hardcore Gaming - Sensationalist Headlines

https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/223058/51aef9c1-36c6-4d3f-9e37-c13943fd9112/chart.png I feel like strategy could be higher and community could be lower, but other than that it seems like a fair profile. I like immersion and an engaging world/story.

Although when I find a good story with quality writing I can get behind it. And every now and again I enjoy junk stories just because. Action/excitement seems fine; I've always loved RTS games and the Civ series but I spend most of my time playing something with active engagement. Don't particularly care about achievements/completion since achievement bloat and filler content became the norm. I only care about personal achievements which would explain the high mastery/challenge rating. In recent times the most fun I've had was mastering the katana style in Nioh and Zweihander canceling/sweeping in Killing Floor 2 for no other reason than I wanted to be good at them. I occasionally like PvP but get a lot more satisfaction from helping other players get better (but not necessarily achieve victory; that should be earned) or assisting group efforts. I'm generally anti-social in most games by choice but when I do decide to fumble around with other players it's usually a highlight of that session. I've always enjoyed being part of the community by choice and never by requirement. Creativity and discovery seem accurate. GMod was one of my favorite games when asked, I tend to explore everything I can to see what's beyond, I've spent hours creating custom characters and don't even get me started on the hundreds of hours I spent decorating houses in Star Wars Galaxies. Overall I'd say this survey has a fair assessment of how I game.

Opt-in surveys by definition do not have a random sampling of the population, which means its incredibly unlikely its going to be representative of the true means, medians, ranges, or otherwise of any population. You may like to think that, but statistical studies over the last hundred years have shown that random sampling is incredibly important to getting any accurate measurements.

But in any RPG fashion is the only true endgame, everyone knows that. That includes Dark Souls.

Pretty much similar results for me, can closely relate into just liking everything but I love exploration and customization on top of all those good stuff https://i.imgur.com/0xtkXUY.png https://i.imgur.com/wURXO93.png
