Quickjumps seven types of girl gamers

InnerDemon | March 30, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 3 Misc 
Quickjumps version of what they think to be the types of gamers that girls/women fall into. Doesn't quite cover every gamer but it does cover the ones you see more often.

From Hardcore to cos play it's here.
Hardcore Gamer - You don't need a pair to kill Altima in Final Fantasy Tactics with one blow or defeat Metatron from Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne without losing your sanity. While the hardcore who would go discuss their "1337" gameplay tactics and strategies on notorious message boards almost never expect to run across girls, it is a fact that the male dominated scene of spending hundreds of hours to kill secret bosses and pull off insane Achievements for bragging rights is not without the presence of the opposite gender.

Female hardcore gamers aren't the ones who scream at the top of their lungs in Halo 3 online; we're talking about the experienced whose knowledge can go back even to the 8-bit era. Many of them agree that Chrono Trigger is one of the best JRPGs ever, while some are skilled Civilization players and classic point-and-click masters.

    Amazing how they managed to find that many different types of girl gamers. I didn't think there was much of a difference between Social and Casual.

    Hmmm, the girls holding WoW and the girl in the red-game outfit are pretty cute......

    Anyways, that was pretty interesting to read. LPF makes a good point though. How many of my non-gaming female friends are closet gamers. A couple know a little to much to not be.

    I genuinely need an elite passionate gamer (Nintendo edition please, Sonic add on compatible preferably) to be my wife if I ever want to get married... none of the others could handle me, but I will be perfect for them, they shouldn't waste themselves on you...

      So, is that for the good, or the bad? My guess is good. More in common with the looks.

    Why are the only pics of girl gamers in the article here of good looking girls?

    Not the I'm complaining. Its just a curiousity, and msot likely a very innacurate representation.

      That's exactly what I was thinking XD
      Pretty sure those pictures have been put there for dramatic effect. To show you not all girl-gamers are the typical nerdy ones that most peopl expect of gamers of any kind usually.
