Gaming Styles

[CelesJessa]

I don't know if this has been done before, if it has, I'm sorry. ^^ (I'm forgetful)

Anyway, is there any certain way that you play games? Are you reckless and risky? Or are you analytical and reserved?

For me, in a strategy game (like Fire Emblem, Starcraft type games) I'm usually bent on having an excellent defence and then just a line of extremely powerful troops who go out and kill the bad guys while the rest are on the defence. For example, in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, it would be very rare for me to leave my white mage undefended on all sides (or at the very least, he would have a "guard" that I have specified to stay next to him at all times). While most of my characters hang back and stay on hte defensive, taking out any enemy who dares to get close enough, I would use my powerhouse-paladins to truck through the enemy lines and claim victory.

On the other hand, in non-strategy games I am completely opposite. I am reckless and I will run into a fight I know I can't win and hope that by some stroke of luck that I can survive (and somehow, I do most of the time). In action-y games I always run headfirst into a fight and dodge like mad, or I'll just hammer on the enemy hoping that I can kill him before he can kill me. In Metroid Prime, to try and get a short cut I basically made a mad dash through way too much phazon only to find that my idea didn't work and, hey, I had to dash back through that phazon again.

So what are your gaming styles?
