What makes a good gamer?

What makes a good gamer. According to people it is completing games or the strategy of play or squeezing absouletly everything out the game. I think it is squeezing everything out of the game. Inset Kingdom Hearts. All puppys all money all items all key blades. What do you people think about what makes a good gamer!

Re: What makes a good gamer?

Other, you have to be obsessed with every game you have, learn everything about it, leave not one conrer un-turned. You have to play it for hours on end, and let almost nothing come between you and your gaming.

Re: What makes a good gamer?

I say Squeezing everything out of the game, it's fun to do, spending hours at a time finding hidden things when you could have already beat the game a few hours ago, but that's just no fun

Re: What makes a good gamer?

I think being me makes a good gamer... actually id say that beating every game makes a good gamer but not neccesarily all the way 100% with little unimportant stuff..

Re: What makes a good gamer?

A gamer is somebody who understands the game good, and knows what a real game is.

That's how I see it.

Re: What makes a good gamer?

You all have Tunnel... Tunnel.... Tunnel vision!!!! (said to the beat of double.. double... double vision)

You Narrow minded ideal of what a gamer is, would not seat well with society. By your standards is a kid who only has one game because his famil can't afford to buy him a lot, but plays it with all the heart he has, even though it is the original LOZ and he can't beat the second boss, not a good gamer?

What is the point of squeezing everything out of the game sometimes? Example: TWW the final boss isn't even so hard that you need more than 5 hearts, what is really the point? what is really the point of the Photo quest? Are you not a good gamer if you defeat the prince of theives and get board at such a short game?

What if you have stacks of NES games and and a few GC games and the only NES game you ever play is Tetris, are you not a good gamer?

What if you don't know every nook and cranny there is in SMB3, but can get every level beaten in record time? Are you not a good gamer?

All it takes to be good at gaming is either pure heart and love for the games, or pure skill at pushing the buttons in the right order. Or even memorizing the ghosts patterns in Pac-Man and beating the game with out dieing, makes you a good gamer.
