Instictively trying to use a technique in the wrong game.

I switched back and forth between Assassin's Creed II and Demon's Souls and the running mechanics in each game are very different so I keep trying to hold R1 and X to run quickly and climb up walls in Demon's Souls (which, of course, led to death) and pressing O to sprint in Assassin's Creed II (Which, of course, did absolutely nothing).
I've tried to spot enemies (BFBC2) in CoD several times. 'WHY IS THERE A SCOREBOARD- Agh! Dead.'
In the Space Marine demo I thought I'd be invincible while doing the grab/brutal kills (like God of War), but no, that is definitely not the case.

After a day or so (play time) of Crysis 2 online, playing Black Ops resulted in some issues (such as trying to jump over a chest high wall, only to fall short and be mauled to death by Nazi zombies). Lacking armour and cloak also caused problems.
Also, instinctively spotting enemies with select after playing Bad Company 2 for too long.

When I play action games I often instinctively try to dodge like I'm playing Godhand. Also, when I play one of the ACE games I often try to do moves from ZOE2.
When I play a 3rd person (hell even a fps like Rainbox Six Vegas) I constantly try to switch between left and right handed use on my gun. Army of Two 40th day may not have been the greatest game but that was a perfect control setup.
I always try to bunny hop, then remember I'm not playing something as awesome as Quake 1 and return to it.
The worst, is going from any Halo to any other Halo.
The button layout, the feel of the game, and how hard the enemies are, all takes about an hour to get used to =|
I get the same problem in any CoD going to any other CoD.
For the week or two of Blops MP that I played, I kept trying to dropshot on the run, and was rewarded with my dying body bouncing off the ground...
Its also really inconvenient to go from one Fire Emblem to another, and be disoriented by the different stat coefficients, and how units behave.
I don't think I've ever used a skill I have acquired in one game, in a completely different game... After playing Halo for a while though, going to CoD makes me realize how OP shields are, lol.

Parkour.
After the playstyle in Mirror's Edge finally 'clicked' with me, it was amazing. I honestly am in love with parkour done well in video games, Brink being a great example.
But yeah, after playing Brink or some other game involving parkour and attempting to play another fps game that doesn't allow such movement... Well, lets just say a lot of chest high walls tick me off.

When I was playing Deus Ex: HR my mind always knew there was a cover system so a few times before I got used to it I'd sneak over to a piece of cover and press A to glue myself to it. Or rather, jump up in the air and get spotted/riddled with bullets. Then of course there was the trying to aim and ending up glued to a wall, but that wasn't quite so bad.
They first time I played a final fantasy game (FF7) I kept hitting X to try and confirm instead of O. It was sooo confusing to my young mind, "Why would they make it this way if everyone else does it that way?" I remember thinking.
Rather ironic, isn't it, when you consider that O as confirm and X as cancel was the original design, and America fucked that up during localization.whtkid6969 said:
