How Your Personality Affects What You Play

[@DarylTalksGames]

So, been reading some comments and wanted to note a few things. 1) Please pardon the dude playing league with a controller. I’ve never played LoL, but apparently this is a damnable sin. It’s stock footage, so, you know 😅 2) You’re welcome for the DVD part, it’s the least I can do for how kind you’ve all been to me since I started doing KZbin ❤️ 3) Thank you for being the exception to the rules, like I said, personality is not so black and white 4) Follow ya boy on Twitter - twitter.com/DarylTalksGames 5) Thank you so much for stopping by, this video seems to be doing exceptionally well and that’s because you of you 🙏🏼

My new years resolution was to not play any other story games until i finish one, and then move on to the next. This has made me play and finish three JRPGs in three months (Persona 4, Crosscode, Xenoblade Chronicles 2) never going back to playing on a whim, i can't wait to start my next game that doesn't take 100-200 hours, since ill start clearing those muuuuuch faster than all the others

Senior in a behavioral science undergrad here, really excellent work! You are among the few who dodged and weaved around the MASSIVE pitfall traps in the field of personality, and address a lot of relevant factors that deserve real attention (such as the barnum effect in the intro) I came here expecting a mess of pseudoscience (new to the channel) and I was blown away by how well this was made!

[@T0nyAvde1]

agreed, it really deserves the praise.

[@gogauze]

I was a therapist (counseling psych), before disability slapped me down, and I've been here for a while; but, I strongly agree that it was refreshing to not have another popsci video. The thing that I think most people don't realize is that personality inventories are really only valuable in research. Even then, you need to consider so much, from experiment design to the stats that'll be coming out the other side, and have everything go right during the execution, to be able to tease any reasonable meaning out of any of it. Which, is already demanding a level of assumed good faith and competence that I'm not comfortable lending to just anyone. Anyway, this was all just a very long way of saying that I really appreciate Daryl's commitment to stopping the bullshit train, early and often, before anything truly egregious can get started.

I can see Extraversion/ Introversion, openness and contietiousness as factors in what types of games people gravitate to. As I kid I olayed more genres that I do now. Dont have a lot of time now as well. Love Zelda BotW and TotK, but the exploring takes so much time. Really fell in love with the more linear Story driven games like God of war and the recent FF16. Story is my main motivation and mastery as a good second place.

[@petermaniatakos4027]

In addition to the types of games we play (genres), I wonder how personality affects our actual playstyles in these games. For instance, why do some players play agro/balanced/turtle in strategy games? Or tactics vs theory in chess? Why do I knowingly main unviable characters in ssbm like ganondorf whereas my friend just plays the best character fox? Why is there a stereotype that girls only play support role in moba? What dictates a players preference to tank, dps, mage, ranged/melee? What compels my friend to build a treehouse in minecraft whereas my other friend is content with a dirt hole?

[@harleykf1]

Did you ever find out if personality affects playstyle? I'm an avid chess player so I've been trying to figure out the types of playstyles, although I feel like they would apply to a lot of games: Tactical vs Positional: Do you prefer intense calculations or relying more on intuition? Calm vs Chaotic: Do you prefer to play calmly and focus on your own plans, or provocatively with the intent of tricking your opponent? That's about all I've come up with so far.

You can play it as a social sim and put your family through more-or-less wacky scenarios or you could put the sim part on the back and dedicate most of your time to interior design, or play in some other unorthodox way.

Glad that happened, and I'd like to share something that should also be taken with a grain of salt but that I feel does also have value. I realized that getting to know yourself also applies to forming new relationships. People generally surround themselves with people that make them feel fulfilled in some way or people adjacent to those people (friends of friends) that make us feel fulfilled in some way. Chances are, they're often friends with us because they feel fulfilled in part by us. Not all friendships or romantic relationships end up being healthy, however, so knowing the kind of person you are and being comfortable with that, or knowing what you want and working toward that, will also help you to find people and communities that support that healthy you.

I took that gamer motivation test about halfway through and noticed I’d say “it depends” with a lot of the questions. For example, one of the questions was “how important is character customization”. If it’s a more character based game like Persona or Spider-Man PS4, then I would rather the characters stay how the devs intended them to look, despite the customization options given to me. But with more abstract games where you’re meant to BE the player character like Skyrim or Pokémon, then customization is a must. I just thought that was interesting.

[@jasonreed7522]

I feel like this entire discussion on personality and its relationship to gaming could be deepened significantly with the clarification/nuance of moods. I'm not always a destructive maniac who just wants a good old fashioned powertrip murdering hordes of zombies. I'm not always looking to play a chill game of minecraft where you can just sorta zone out mining or building something. Sometimes you want a hard challenge trying to beat a cod zombies easter egg or darksouls boss. The only answer i can always give is i never am in the mood for competitive online multiplayer where you are just going to get crushed by people with very different available time commitments and skill levels than you. (Also please no anxiety / jumpscare horror) I would say personality affects mood and mood affects what you want to play.

[@pacomatic9833]

Me too!

[@SemperMaximum]

Games like Persona and Spiderman still give you character customization, it's just through costumes and outfits instead of character creation. Customization, isn't just editing everything about a character. It can be through the clothes and/or giving some alternate hair styles. But yeah I agree it depends on the game, but I feel all games can include customization in some way. That being said I'll play a game with zero character customization, it just makes the game better in my opinion.

[@terryriley6410]

If the devs gave you the option to customize your character they intended exactly that, to give you the freedom to choose, if they intend you to play with the stock looks, they simply don't provide an option.

This was very interesting. There are certain games that me and my husband both love playing, or even playing together, and some that the other is not interested in at all, and watching this I realized the games we play together usually fall under the "Discovery" type. My husband is pretty clearly a mastery-achievement person and I'm firmly in the immersion creativity cluster. Honestly I think this relates to real world games as well. We do escape rooms together regularly and I think we make such a good 2-person team because we both enjoy playing, but look at the rooms and problems from slightly different pov because our motivations are a little different.

The harder you have to work for the chain reaction of explosions the more satisfying it tends to be.

"Most people aren't this one-dimensional" My little brother, who only plays games to destroy everything around him (and eventually rage quit after finding out that that's not the point of the game): *are you sure about that*

[@xuanathan]

I sincerely hope your brother isn't most people...

[@jakwolfe3025]

Understandable I only played GTA and saints row to cause mass destruction...I have actually yet to beat any GTA and I've only beaten one saints row game

When you cut to the DVD pause screen if it didn’t hit the corner I would have shut this video off. Well played 👏

17:32 there does exist a wrong game preference however, it's called gambling.

[@cometaHavoc]

If its with no currency involved I think it can be fun, however i dont find it fun

[@this_is_japes7409]

@@cometaHavoc yeah but in that case it's no longer gambling, it's just poker or blackjack or whatever game it actually is. sure there could be imaginary currency involved, but that might as well be just score points.

[@RedFloyd469]

Even considering your latter point: poker can still be a fun game, strictly mechanically speaking. I love texas hold'em, regardless if genuine currency is involved. Meaning: even IF there was currency involved, it would still be an enjoyable game. Sure it's still a game of chance, but so is every turn based strategic jrpg that works with "critical hits" and "hit chance". If it's just a PURE chance game, like roulette or blackjack (provided you're not counting cards) there really is no objective reason to like it other than for the reward you receive IF you win. That's a bad game.
