You want to test your skill rather then your wit. Meanwhile other gamers like to test their intuitions and like to unravel puzzles. Your probably not the kind of person who will take an hour untangling a cord of Christmas lights. For some people there is a pleasant Zen quality to solving something otherwise so meaningless. There is no right or wrong answer. I suspect in twitched base gaming you might just be a real menace. Toss you into a problem solving environment, and your perhaps sluggish, or easily defeated. Other people can breeze through the puzzles in a Zelda game. So for you the game can get boring meanwhile the other guy might be moving through the game three or four times faster then you are. I think most gamers are generalists they can enjoy both extremes as long as they are not over powering. While the minority find themselves being drawn into a tighter niche. That is why games like Mario Kart have such a strong appeal, but a game like Civilization on the intellectual side, or a game like FEAR on the twitch based side will never see that kind of success. |
that's actually a really good post. I am definitely on the "cerebral" side of the spectrum.
