5 Stupid Videogame Mistakes We Keep On Making

[@geckoreformed6411]

My biggest mistake is saving special “items” for the next Boss but not using them in fear of needing them for next, next Boss. Then ending the game with out ever using any of them.

[@Shiki0414]

No self-respecting rpg player actually uses the best items when they're needed. Gotta hoard 'em all lol

[@johngingras]

I figure when my character finishes the game, he can start his own potion shop and live for the rest of his life on the proceeds.

[@pyrofan80]

Ah yes, the “finishing with an embarrassment of kit” play-style. Welcome to the club - we have jackets. And RPGs.

[@ABadassDragon]

Gotta have atleast one of every item in them game, knowing full well i will never use them

[@dmacks]

This is every game.. ever

[@rockutron9000]

My constant mistake is getting a really difficult boss down to one hit and for no reason abandoning the strategy that got me there and rushing in like a lunatic only to get absolutely annihilated.

[@mpsylocke]

In contrast with Ash, I manually save anytime I can for every miniscule progress. What's wrong is, I usually use one to three slots if there are points in the game I want to go through differently. A mistake I usually do is OVERWRITE THE WRONG SAVE FILE. It hurts. Every time.

[@gabriellambrecht199]

I'm playing Bioshock 2 in Hard and I literally save after everything that I do, even if it was getting to the other side of a room who has no enemies

[@kedarraman6690]

[@ConnorHavok]

My biggest mistake is probably the fact. I like to take my time with video games. To "make them last longer" this has now resulted in a massive never ending backlog that continues to grow because I continue to drag out games longer than I need to

[@peace4myheart]

As long as you are having fun, does it matter if it's over 1 game or several? This is FOMO, fear of missing out.

[@diegoarias754]

I used to do that but eventually found myself not finishing games. So now I'm forcing myself to finish a game before starting another one. And just in the past month I finished 6 games, it feels so good sticking till the end.

[@jstewart_1]

I'm with Dave. I constantly hoard usable items (Hi Potions, Ethers, combat items, etc.) in RPGs. Always end up at the end of the game with far too many.

[@dramadude9266]

My biggest mistake is being too much of a completionist. Why? Half the time, I’ll go through an area and go out of my way to explore areas I might not have to yet, only to end up having to go there and beat those enemies again for the purposes of an actual quest, essentially meaning I go through half the places in games twice.

A mistake I always tend to make is making sure to get the "good ending" if I find out that a game I'm playing has multiple endings. Of course, this usually leads to me spoiling the game for myself. I just wish I could play a game and accept whatever ending I get, but if I hear even the smallest rumor that a game has multiple endings, I just can't help myself and have to get the "good" one.

[@JDMStav]

Mine is thinking "yes, this character looks good" and then getting into game and seeing that I've made some potato-headed meth addict and having to start the entire game over again, spend another hour in the character creator, sit through all of the opening cutscenes and then... do it all over again because I didn't like my characters eyebrows.

This happened to me starting Dragon Age Inquisition. The character creation screen has skinny mirrors and fake lighting is my excuse! Didn't have the patience to start over because of the aforementioned time sink of character creation plus cinematics and quit after a few hours, despondent.... Went back to it once, but it also turns out the game is a bit too generic somehow, despite the glorious visuals you encounter regularly. That my overly bony, pasty skinned with makeup like a harlot elf really doesn't fit in with

[@motombo87]

I forget to explore menus in games. I went through half of Horizon Zero Dawn before I realised I could upgrade my storage pouches. Having to craft arrows after 6 shots or never having room for components from downed machines. Felt like an idiot when I found it on the crafting menu 😂

[@seeleyboothfan2]

I'm a perfectionist, so I play each game needing to do everything possible (every side quest, follow each step to make sure I get perfect ending, etc) and so I look up guides before I even start the game and I've almost always spoiled something about the game I'm playing (one of the bosses in Persona 5 Strikers most recently) but I keep looking up guides like an idiot. The most painful mistake though was manual uploading what I realized too late was an old save to the cloud/online PS+ storage which overwrote the newest save and I had to replay about 2 hours to get back to the place I'd actually gotten to in the game.

[@Stratelier]

Gotta sympathize with Rob for, when given an open-world game, trying to commit to a new playstyle (with a new run or character) but instead relapsing into your old playstyle. I have three Skyrim characters and while each one has a different _focus,_ (melee, archery, and magic) all of them share a love of the crafting skill trees and just plain stealth in general.

[@musiciohann]

DAVE!!!!!! I feel for you, man. That is exactly my mistake always! Trying a smaller game after being 20% through an amazing AAA game that I waited for years and bought day 1. … also, un encumbered all the flipping time with cures or food that I actually never use.

[@Karakuioshi]

I love that Tuesday checklist joke is still going after all these years ❤

[@Soveliss74]

I was actually thinking about this earlier. I'd love to see a game that, once you complete a playthrough, like skyrim, you're locked out of the previous playstyle

[@ardorias1207]

I'm also always guilty of not paying attention to the character build at the beginning Rob. And then I get stuck with a Mele build for the rest of the game.

[@Nfoster1916]

I can get behind the autosave one, and basically.... the game jumping one for sure. So many games and not enough time, and patience to wait one by one. Couple of times, I regretted only having one save for a game too. oh we gamers. lol.

[@KageDarkAngel]

Kind of with Rob on this, though I wouldn't call it a mistake too much, but regressing to what one would feel as their optimal play style for certain games is something I am guilty of. Skyrim: I always make a stealth warrior who is pro with bow or Fire Emblem Three Houses: I always end up recruiting every student into my house regardless of play through despite saying I will try a different approach. Those are some examples. Old habits are hard to break often at times.

[@CNSninja]

Dave! I'm also a notorious consumable hoarder, and I have a bit of a suggestion that may or may not help depending on who tries it, and in what game... This doesn't work for all games because balance varies from game to game, but for a lot of them the solution can be to increase the difficulty. That way you end up getting in positions where you kind of need to use your consumables or you have trouble progressing. I'll sometimes not do this because I find I actually don't want to use the consumables, but at the end of the day the game ends up being so much more rewarding when you do need them and they save you!

[@sk8ergrrl1]

I had Rob’s problem with Skyrim until I literally forced myself to become a mage. I played as a Breton and the only physical weapons I carry around in Skyrim is a dagger and some kind of staff in case I do run out of magicka. When I got to Whiterun, any septim I earned went towards buying spellbooks from Farengar, whenever I levelled up, I only invested in magicka at the start, and then I just paid however many septims it cost for the wagon to take me to Winterhold where I then did the mages quest line. Being a mage becomes a hell of a lot easier when you get the archmages robes, his amulet and circlet. It was hard but so worth it!

[@NineBreakerUIXB]

Don't worry Rob, there is a reason why most people end up playing stealthy archer in Skyrim. It Works! Basically the entire game is set up to accommodate this build both in difficulty and enjoyability. Regardless of what build you go for you're gonna want to level up archery anyway, and stealth is just a really good compliment to it so it's only natural that people end up doing it that way the whole game. And you're not missing out on much by not going destruction magic build anyways. Even with the vampire necromage bug destruction spells don't do comparable damage to anything else you could use unless you use mods and/or level alchemy to max and neck potions of buff magic damage 500% constantly.

Mine has to be being perfect in combat and stealth encounters and this was appitomized in the summer of 2019 when i finished all Arkham games without getting hit or being seen on either hard or very hard (or its equvivalents, cant quite remember). My greatest gaming achievement and last because i am never attempting anything like that ever again, even if i recently tried doing something similar with MGR Revengence and i actually did get the S rank on the 3rd mission on hard. But yea, im done losing my nerves, i just wonder how much more nerves would i lose have i played DMC or Bayonneta. Im not trying to brag, i just cant help myself than to try to be better. If only i was like that irl

[@claratalbot7613]

Mine are: 1. Picking the wrong option that ruins an alliance, results an ending I didn't want, ruins a romanic option, or romancing someone & then finding another option later down the road that I like better 2. Wanting to pick the knight or more tank style class but always being a mage or stealth class w/ the exception of Dark Souls in which case I always pick the knight class because it's so satisfying to obliterate things w/ a massive sword 3. Missing out on lore when I start a new game. No matter how hard I try I always miss like a note, scene, or dialogue & then have to look up a guide to make sure that I don't miss any on my next playthrough 4. Hording items especially when I don't have a limited inventory space. There's a reason I have a mod that allows me to horde even more on Skyrim & I have a house full of piles & piles of books 5. Putting a important or powerful item/weapon in a chest, selling it, or dropping it for inventory space

And then I feel guilty that I haven't finish the first one so I leave the second one and go back to the first but since it has been a while I have forgotten the controls so have to start it over again... but then another game appears and the cycle starts again... and so that's my videogame problem.

I think it's a mistake that I keep making when playing SRPGs with big rosters, where I try to keep every party member's level at parity with the rest, intending to select a "main" party at a later date when I have a feel for the characters. And then I get to the final boss before I make that selection, and all the good units are underleveled and all the bad units are overleveled... Dammit...

I always do this thing in any RPG or game with an RPG-style progression system: I find a nice, comfortable little leveling niche where I can just go around in a circle, farming lovely experience and lovely items, over and over and over again until I become blisteringly overleveled and wonder why nothing is fun anymore.

RPGs.... Ranger style class. Kite to fight! Side note: Dave's lost weigh.

My mistake is if in an RPG I chose a build and later on I don't like either the build or decisions made or if I reach a point where I don't know where to go or what quest to do next or if I haven't played the game for a while. I delete my save and start again until I am happy with the decisions, character build and direction to proceed

Dave, you and I are video game-twin brothers! Lol when you stated your first problem of not finishing games and jumping right into the next big release, I was like: "Yep.. same here, man.. same here. I work so much and it's hard to keep up!" But then you went on to talk about your hoarding issue, and I was like; "Yes! I do the exact same thing! I hoard the best weapons and ammo, and cripple myself in boss fights to save it, and I finish a quest but refuse to ditch or sell the items associated with it, even if it's just a journal in Skyrim, I HAVE to keep it!! -It's not a "Dave problem", bud.. its a "Sam & Dave problem"!!

Not being able to skip cutscenes or endcredits of already finished games. My mind tells me: "Those people worked hard to create this, I have to show appreciation for it." So I'm sitting there watching the (MK11, …) credits for the 50th time and I can't bring myself to skip it.

I do the same thing in Skyrim. Other games sometimes but mainly in skyrim

Dave, I share both your mistakes and don't learn. I horde due to fear of the unknown and I hop game to game without finishing. Currently I'm playing Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 7, and BOTW with sprinkles of Doom Eternal and Dark Souls in there. I know it's not the right way to game, but I can't help it.
