That’s a rather interesting question.
I guess if my gaming interests describe my personality, someone would probably conclude I have ADHD or something.
I don’t think I really have a type but I would say that I mostly like the story telling aspect of a game. What I really look for is a good quality product that well put together (so I find it hard to explain why I play BF4 so much).
Skyrim as far as I am concern is probably one of the best games out there because it. Having the main quest is great, but you can basically play that thing for years without even being on that main quest.
Mass effect is another favorite of mine. Again it has some of the same aspects.
I didn’t however like Borderlands2. I found it rather immature and childish.
I played Crisis 3 and Lara Croft. I didn’t complete those games because after a while it just got so repetitive and didn’t see a point. Might be the reason why I can’t play any CoD for more than 30 minutes anymore.
I thing I have also noticed is that I seem to like games where I can jump in and play for 30 minutes or 5 hours straight and it doesn’t diminish the experience. I tend to have a very interrupt driven life based on family and work obligations so being able to play a game to relax is something I do.
