You can only type people.
Yes,even fictional characters.
But you can`t type games.

Malkaro, Thanks for replying.

I'm not exactly wanting information on videogames' types. But more rather, the type of people who are interested in certain genre of videogames.

RPG- INTP
MMOs- ENTP
Melee- ESTP

Isn't this like typing musical preferences ? And if you take a look around this forum you'll notice that music preferences are clearly unrelated to MBTI type.

I think the only conclusion you'll reach is that some types are more proficient in certain genres.

RPG- INTP

I agree with all of your classifications except this. JRPGs are more INFJ and ENFJ. CRPGs are generically xNTx.

Well this is taking MBTI a bit far now isn't it...

Think of it as a 5% factor in the equation of typing people. I mean surely a type will have the tendency to like chess and another won't?

Why not ESTP as well?

MMOs- ENTP

What kind of MMO's?

Melee- ESTP

What is Melee and why?

I agree with JRPG = XNF. Though aren't videogames more an Introvert activity? Not sure about J/P.

Not sure what type of CRPG your talking about.

Playing RPGs is more of an introverted activity to be sure, but if we are to classify the games themselves (for some bizarre reason), they do involve traveling within the confines of a group (though the main protagonist is often an introvert, unwillingly forced into proceeding on the journey). As for J, I chose that given the rigid linearity of the JRPG format.

By "CRPG," I refer to games in the vein of Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment.

Why not ESTP as well?

Solitary activity. People of all T-types (and some Feelers) like them, but ISTPs would like them best.

What kind of MMO's?

MMORPG, MMOFPS, and so on, and so forth.

What is Melee

and why?

Physical and mindless, but group-oriented. You can get together 3 or 4 of your closest friends with some Doritos and beer and beat their asses.
