Strange In-Game Habits/Compulsions
- Thread starter Alakaizer
- Start date
Driving really slowly and stoping at all the red lights when playing any GTA style game, but only on the last mission... I do it to build suspense...
In L4D ALL DOORS MUST BE CLOSED! I can't stand it when i see an open door, even if it's just a small office or something like that.

I have what appear to be fairly standard customization, reloading, and hoarding issues. Also, at least the first time through a game, I find it nearly impossible not to wade right into the middle of a battle. I seriously can't stop myself. So I have to play as a warrior/tank character and I've become obsessed with quick-saves.
Hi all, just registered here just for this thread.
Mine:
-In GTA and others of that ilk, everything, and I mean everything, is a race. I have to feel like I've just beaten the world record for "most batshit insane driving in order to get somewhere" every time I arrive somewhere.
- Again in GTA, I use racing techniques. Might be because I've been playing racing games since I started gaming (currently FM3 and TDU 2) but I'll use racing lines, clip the apex, slipstream on the straights even if it has no effect. The list goes on.
- If my car (always a car, don't like bikes) suffers even the smallest little dent or scratch, I HAVE to get it fixed or abandon the car.
- Compulsive reloading.
- Have to try both sniping and running around with a shotgun close-range in the same lobby, against the same people.
- In any game which involves driving anything for any period of time, it will drift.
- Have to use manual gerbox.
- Randomly decide to screw people over (usually close allies) at completely inappropriate times.
- Cannot hold a conversation while concentrating on a particularly interesting/difficult/tense part of the game. I either stutter a lot in this situation, or don't concentrate on the game and get my arse handed to me. Particularly evident in CoD and BC2.
- Knifing quick-scopers. Doesn't matter if they're across the map and under a rock, I will run straight at them and stab them. Or die trying. Usually die trying, actually.
- Saving twice in a row.
- Can, and have, kept a counter/tally of number of police/army/people trying to kill me that I have killed in 1 life. Current best is 3291 on GTA IV TBoGT.
- Destroying a small area, usually 2 or 3 buildings, sometimes a whole street, in the most spectacular fireball possible. Good fun in San Andreas.
- Must turn off the sat nav/GPS voice even when I don't know where I'm going. No, synthesised female voice, I know where I'm going better than you.
- Some games I can't play without my own music. Forza 3 springs to mind.
- Other games I can't play with music. DiRT 2, TDU 2, CoD, GTA, etc.
As this post is getting rather long, I'll leave it there.

I have trouble being a jerk. Even when I'm on my second playthhrough and porpose to be an evil character, I have trouble bringing myself to do bad stuff.
Also, in Persona 4, I have trouble getting rid of sexy personas, even if it is to create more powerful, less sexy personas. Heh heh heh, you're all mine Liliam.
In Resident Evil 4, I conserve ammo like it's nobody's business. I can't even bring myself to watch my friend play with his bullet-guzzling play style.

In minecraft, obsessively hunting down and destroying any gravel blocks that I can see, and killing all farm animals near my house. Why? Because farm animals once blocked my awesome roller coaster, and I have not forgiven them, and gravel because it is the most useless block in the game, it is affected by gravity, so can't be used for building, can't be made into anything useful, unlike sand it can spawn really far down in my tunnels, and it just sucks. At least sand can be made into grass.
Not exactly strange, but I have a habit of reloading all the time. Even one bullet as I'm waltzing into enemy territory. I just hate seeing that one blank spot on the HUD, or the uneven number. I tried breaking the habit because it killed me to often by rebinding reload into a super uncomfortable position, but I still went for it and died even more.
Basically my whole gameplay strategy is centered around reloading. Where can I go to reload? What flank should I watch to safely reload? Which gun has the fastest reload? Is it safe to round this corner to reload?
Also I can't play a game with any other audio. it must be pure, uninterrupted sounds from the game alone.

In Morrowind I collected books. I tried to get one copy of every book in the game. I don't think I ever succeeded, and my house was filled with piles and piles of them by the end.
