/svidya/ - Strict /v/

Im guilty of cheesing and hoarding.

Theres a D2 mod that allows a chest with unlimited pages and adds some items. It was heaven and hell at the same time. Im still not finished with collecting every type of item in all qualities. Also the holes for most of the etheral uniques will probably never be filled.

Although thats not really a bad habit, imo. Cheesing is though. I always use ranged classes if possible in every game because mostly theres a way of bowcheesing the game. Demons Souls and Dark Messiah are pretty much ruined for me because of that.

In fighting games I had a real bad habit of jumping unnecessarily, something that I've managed to get under control but every now and then I feel myself wanting to jump

>>17946

What games are you playing ? There are fighters in which heavy airtime can be beneficial.

>>17947

It was mainly in Street Fighter

>>17950

>I turtle way to much in both RTS and TBS. There's just something about having a beautifully established town/base that charms my mind.

I think we all have this problem.

Whenever I get to a puzzle are in DMC4, I'd usually not play the game for a couple of weeks because puzzles in an action game are out of place and the puzzles themselves aren't that interesting.

>never use oneshot items like good potions because I might need it later

>end up finishing game with tons of items I never used

>>17960

I do that a lot with Resident Evil

I conserve ammo to the point where I usually end up not using anything with limited ammo at all. Now I just hack unlimited ammo into everything I play(not multiplayer). It's more fun that way.

>>17970

This sucks. Was it always like that?

>>17970

I do that a little, but there's always something telling me that there will be enough ammo around the corner, so I don't let if prevent me from using the arms I want. For example, the sniper rifle in Fallout 3 has a lot less ammo than, say, the pistols and autos; but popping heads off with it is too fun to pass up.

What games, and what weapons, hit you the hardest before you resorted to MAXAMMO?

>>17972

>>17973

I've always just treated anything limited like most people treat Megaelixers ever since I first started gaming. Always thinking "this thing seems useful, but I'll just save it till I REALLY need it". This has led to some admittedly stupid behavior like accidentally doing buster-only runs of every game in the Megaman series to punching out barons of hell in Doom. Metroid Prime 2 has to be the absolute worst game for this play style with the way it made all the alternate beams use ammo.

As for cheating, it all started when I got a gameshark so I could get Mew and then started replaying games I had already beaten with as many hacks as possible. Half Life 2 was the first game I hacked before I finished, the revolver was just too good.

I have a problem with perfectionism in video games, if I don't do something absolutely flawlessly then I'll reload the save and start again until I do it right no matter how many times it takes.

Also like the other anons said hoarding.

pc gaming got me addicted to savescumming….

Turtling in RTS games. I have a WW1 mindset that makes me create Maginot lines wherever possible. Makes me terrible at multiplayer and games against bots can take me hours.

>>17985

It's terrible because I can be very inflexible strategically. Once my "perfect" defence fails, I'm screwed. And bots are very predictable, so ai practice doesn't help.

>>17986

What do you play most?

>>17976

I used to do that shit in the original Fallout

When i would die I would start a new game because I would think I fucked up my specs

>>17987

DoW and Wargame I guess. I don't play much online, though.

I'm sorry for not posting in here more /svidya/.

Skyrim Hoarding everything in sight and selling the excess so i have 1 item of each even if i am not going to use it.

deleting my current playthrough and starting a new one when i get bored

>>17992

Pics or it didn't happen.

>>17994

gimme a sec

>>17996

All these mods and it still looks like shit.

I'll prioritise 'game' over 'story'.

For example, if an area is cinematically collapsing behind me? I'll spend extra time looking around, because you just know there's some hidden item tucked away behind a burning bookshelf. That's possibly just bad game design.

Level grinding is a similar issue. You stop to grind on BS so you can use all your party equally in battle, even the useless pricks. Then in story missions you try to ration who you use, so one doesn't get more XP than the others. It just makes things less entertaining.

If extra dialogue is available, I'll go through it. But I'll only do it for completionism, so I don't miss anything. I don't enjoy it.

I kinda hate lame side quests, because I feel obliged to do them, but in reality I just wanna rush the main plot.

>>18006

You sound just like me when i play any game by Disgaea franchise game i just have to collect all the shit and get them bonus items &characters.

I reported the brown pill spam,the /intl/ shit and the kike post i want to see how long it takes to be deleted.

>>18008

Did you mean to reply to the meta thread?

>>18009

My bad wrong thread.

>>17998

That's some really awful taste anon.

>>18006

Meta gaming is probably the single most fun draining experience with games, for me at least. I used to play most RPGs with this kind of a meta attitude while telling myself my character is just a materialistic chaotic good or some shit. Finishing a quest in the most rewarding way regardless of choices, killing NPCs I just helped to get their stuff, getting into fights without hesitation because if it goes wrong I'll just reload. Worst times. Do you by any chance have too much time to play vidya?

>>17993

I do that too, often because I left the game for a week or so and when I load I'm just not in the flow anymore. Backlog is filled with half completed games I started numerous times.

>>17981

Unmapping the quicksave key helps a lot.

>>18015

rude

>>18027

It's what roleplaying is about.
