What amusing quirks do you have in games and why?

[greenitedaze]

I'm a compulsive slasher. I must be stopped!

 

[liquidsolid]

I always stockpile money, spending as little as possible. I usually end up at the end of the game with way too much money to spend.

 

[HentMas]

I like to play First person shooters in an overly flamboyant manner. Take call of duty Online for example. Instead of killing other players in a boring fashion, i try and be creative and unusual in my killing, because fuck winning or kill/death ratios. As long as i'm having fun amirite?

I do that too, in MW2 i always equip my shield, and try to get as many as i can, its FUN! and after a few times i get killed its funny because everyone starts picking up my shields and having shield duels XD

i love how a *bang bang* game suddenly reconstructs in to "fencing" with shields XD

Yeah, I do the same, with weapons also. Loads of them that I never use, because the ammo's rare, but I keep them aside and never get rid of them, and then realise I've completed the game with the first weapon...

 

[iseeyouthere]

In RTS games.

I always only build one of each building... That includes the barracks. Why? I made a nice and tidy base. I don't want to clutter it up!

 

[rockingnic]

I sometimes like to go Rambo so in FPS, I go all out without aiming down my sights unless I'm trying to hit someone from long range. I also like to be somewhat cinematic or comedic in games, like GTA where if I have to kill someone, I'll do it in a way like those in movies or anything that seems entertaining like hit the guy going about 100mph in a car just to get him plastered on a building 5 blocks down the road.

 

[Gottesstrafe]

I'm a fanatic kleptomaniac and stealth fighter. Gets kind of harrowing actually, especially during Hitman: Blood Money where I can simply garrote, poison, or snipe my targets and get out in under 5 minutes, but I obsessively go out of my way to make EACH death look like an accident without killing civilians or guards.

 

[Judgement101]

On Online games I tend to be that guy that runs up to people and gives them free crap.....if they want it or not.

 

[kickyourass]

I'm a total kleptomaniac in RPGs, when I go through a dungeon in say Oblivion, I can't be satisfied until every last piece of loot has been, well, looted. On my first real play through of Oblivion I made like a dozen trips back and forth to the shops every time I came across a new cave or ruin, because I kept getting over encumbered and couldn't bring myself to leave anything behind.

I'm also a fan of hordes in RTS games, unless I'm playing a faction that actively prohibits this, I just train up a few million of the cheapest units I've got and just mob everybody else.

 

[FalloutJack]

Destructible Terrain Man! He breaks stuff whenever possible!

 

[kickyourass]

Reloader and have the tendency to scream all bad-ass when I get my hands on a minigun and can spray aimlessly, aweosomeness! nwn!

Damn it I forgot this, I'm the same way with Miniguns, especially in Fallout 3. I literally had to stop my self once from screaming "CRY SOME MORE!!" at one point.

 

[Andrew_Mac]

I'm a compulsive reloader. Gotta reload. Also a compulsive saver.

Aren't we all?
I know i am.

I'm also a perfectionist in building games like minecraft. And if there's something out of place in a game that I can't do anything about, I try to get the hell away from it. I've even stopped playing games if theres something like that. Also, in pokemon games and such like, i have to organize everything into sections in my bag. I also can't have an odd number of things unless its a multiple of 5.

I'm the same in life though. i can't have an odd number of biscuits, I can't go to bed without my glasses hanging on my door in a certain way and my necklace folded over and my bed in a certain way. i'm weird.



(Joke I just heard. Police have found naked pictures of Miss Piggy in kermit the Frogs pond. It is suspected to be frogs porn. )

 

[Mad Maniac with axe-firing chainsaw]

Add me to the perfectionist pile, which makes me weep in bitter tears in games like Crusader Kings.

 

[Cogwheel]

Iron bars.

In previous RPGs by Spiderweb Software - Avernum and Geneforge, at least, I'm not sure about Nethergate - iron bars could be sold.

In their most recent game, Avadon, this is not the case. I knew this. And yet, when I checked just now, I was carrying 43 of them.

 

[Braedan]

I tend to talk to myself in weird accents in character. Only in slow games with little talking. Mount and Blade for example.

I kind of freak myself out...

 

[Physics Engine]

I must see all that can be seen in any game. Something about the environments makes me want to see all of it. I'll try and jump to an unattainable ledge, sometimes for a while, just to see what's up there. I'll explore everything in an area that I can and I get annoyed at a game when I'm pigeon holed into leaving an area and not being able to go back if I didn't see it all. Being an aspiring level designer I don't think it's too odd to want to see all the work that went into an environment... is it?

I think it's Metroid related, I may need help.

 

[SilentCom]

I always use the weakest/most common/starting weapons as much as possible. Usually with the intention of saving ammo for my better weapons for later, or pouring upgrades into something I will always have on me.

Often I don't shoot until I can get a headshot.

I imagine it would freak out my in-game comrades: "We're trying to move forward, sir. It's just that one of the new guys--he keeps popping out from behind cover to try and ping the enemy with an AK-47. We've been stuck in this street for the last ten minutes while he's been dealing with this sniper..."

Hehe, that reminds me, I won Quake 4 using only the unlimited ammo blaster pistol.
I'm also a compulsive reloader and hate running out of ammo, I guess that could be one reason I used the blaster. Also it's just a neat little gun.
