what are your weird gaming habits?

[Zalot]

i constantly reload when im not shooting
and i save every 10 seconds

If I save a game and I go to quit and I get a notification asking me to save, I always save and it takes a really long time and I can't stop.

[naturemon]

This happens in Fallout/TES games: I'll save manually no matter what, keeping each save separate in case I bump into a glitch, whenever I THINK I'll face an enemy or do something important I save. I have more than 2000 saves in Skyrim, more than 1500 in Oblivion, and more than 2000 in Fallout 3 which leaves me with gigs worth of saves. Although this did technically save me when an NPC glitched at one point in the story and I easily went back a few saves.

tf2, scout: if bored I tend to run around and make drum rhythms by firing and reloading the pistol

[Tayasaurus]

I tend to personify the weapon I'm using and become attached to it throughout the game. If I can't upgrade it to keep up with me depending on which game it is it's kind of a sad experience.


Another thing I do is I pretend when I'm playing a videogame with a story, I pretend I'm the same guy/girl from the game I first played as a kid and that I'm just travelling through worlds in a sense.

I have this strange desire to not make the bad decisions so I don't hurt a virtual characters feelings.

I always carry an overwhelming contempt for the villain regardless if its a good one or not.

I tend to talk to the game while playing. I usually have something snarky to say all the time and I regret not recording it.

I would quote almost everyone, but that would take too long.

In Battlefield 3, I tend to automatically hit the reload button every moment or so, even if my magazine is full. I also tend to switch my laser sight/tactical light off whenever I don't think I need it. In any game that has a save button, I repeatedly click it every now and then so that I don't lose any progress. For everything else, as I said above, almost everyone posted something that I have a habit of doing.

if any game has any kind of takedown animations (like battlefield 3, and mostly bf3 because its rare on multiplayer games) its my sudden goal of life to do it on EVERYBODY I SEE.

[xbox 360 fan]

I have the innate urge to reposition bodies that die in awkward positions to more suitable places. It never looks as good as where they were killed, but I do it anyway. It's most noticeable in RPGS, though I'll occasionally try it in FPS's like Half-life and Dishonored.

This. If there is a river I like to push bodies into it and watch them float

[Becquerel]

When playing some games where when you hit Esc, move your mouse, and when you go back it's in the same spot, I like to hit Esc and center my mouse in the middle of the screen where the crosshair would be.

Oh god I thought I was the only one who did this

[Doughboy]

I never manually reload.
I always let my bullets run out.

[TheScout]

I never manually reload.
I always let my bullets run out.

you sick forget.

[Qwepir]

I reload whenever I'm not shooting
Not that weird until it happens right after I kill a guy and there are a bunch of other people in the room

I also stuff-talk the AI in racing games

[Tayasaurus]

I always drive backwards in racing games later on to see if I can collide with the other cars.

[zackin5]

If I haven't quick saved within the last minute then everything feels wrong (Until I hit F5)
If my ammo magazines are below 70% capacity I impulsively reload, sometimes in the middle of a firefight.
I have to check out every nook and cranny of a level. If I think I'm going the right way I immediately turn around and checkout the other path I didn't take, even if it's an obvious dead end.

And this doesn't really count as a habit, but it seems on my first playthroughs I'm always facing away from scripted sequences when they start.

[Im_AFK]

any game that has subtitles (most of them) i will narrate the entire storyline

ill do 360 spins every now and then in any game no matter the genre

in any fps game that has some sort of light mg, theres no room for anything but spraying for me

whenever an innocent npc died at my hands i always felt guilty and i usually reloaded the save (same for committing crimes)

i never use any consumable items in rpgs unless its for a boss battle showdown

any mmorpg i play that has a wide variety of emotes: ill be using those 99% of the time for days on end for communication

i use the most overpowered skills or biggest weapons on the smallest and weakest of targets just to enjoy the popping numbers / miles the body flies (bazooka vs mouse = overkill)

swords > anything else in an rpg
