saving absolutely all the potions and grenades and such for a special occasion and ending the game without using any of it

this is me 100% lol

[@phillipstevens8937]

all the yes!

[@ericperez1193]

I did this in Uncharted 4, seeing as how in the previous 3 games there were mystical creatures/monsters. I was saving up all my powerful weapons to the point where I was only doing melee only.

+Renan de assis I was so glad they released the whole Nathan drake collection before uncharted 4, I was worried that I'd have to buy a ps3 and get all the games individually

[@iNDERUdmg]

In linear single player games - always trying to go in a direction that isn't the obvious direction to progress, in case there's a secret or collectable there... Then getting annoyed when you realise that this is the "right" way to go, and that the "obvious" way was a mislead, so you go back to an earlier save just to check it out in case there was something there...

[@stefang.5732]

i had to read your name after, because this could've been written by me ; )

[@iwillruletheworldyay]

ugh i feel this

[@SEB1991SEB]

And it's annoying when you come up to a fork in the road, with no obvious clue as to which path comes to a quick dead end with some collectibles and which one progresses through the level. You just stand there for about 5 minutes deliberating on which way to go.

[@eduardovarela4462]

By going the non obvious way you get a cutscene.

[@TheRicardobtc]

When you pick up all healing/buffing items and never use them because you want to save for an emergency... and when that emergency comes, even when you're almost dying, you *still* don't use them, because you think you have to save them for an even harder part.

[@pentuplove6542]

Mr. Wan Ker Chief.

[@timowthie]

I don't get how you didnt immediately get the joke.

[@Shadownian]

How about these.... 1. Having to kill every enemy in the level/area. 2. Having to kill every enemy in the level/area in a certain way. I.e. Like stealth kills. 3. Having to out level the enemies before moving on. For example jrpgs like Final fantasy. That way you dominate the enemies rather than just squeak by the next area. 4. Having to redo levels that provide rankings because you didnt get the top rank. 5. Having to get every companion character even of you dont like them or wont ever use them. Example...Mass Effect and Dragon Age.. 6. Using character created weapons or armor even when better options are given to you because...well...i made this...lol. 7. Caring about your looks. For example i could use this helm that has better stats, but i wont because it doesnt go with my outfit. Or having to dye and re-dye your armor for every new piece you get so it all matches. 8. Having to log into online games daily, even those you may no longer play, simply because they offer daily rewards. 9. Watching reviews on games that you already played, just to make sure people agree with you if they are good or bad. Then arguing with them when they don't. 10. Replaying sections or whole games in order to see every choice option played out. just some i can think of atm...lol

[@redshepherd32]

my 1st rule for enemy grinding in a more casual playthrough. Make the effort to kill every enemy in the area at least once. If you backtrack or retread old territory then I usually skip all enemies that I don't draw aggro from. Aside from grinding to help prepare for a high-level area, I hope that the designers made at least some effort to make sure that all the first encounters in an area are enough to get past that section. If I have to purposely grind through an area more than once, that's a big hindrance on my choice of a repeated playthroughs. Good thing new game plus is a thing for some games. As much as I enjoyed xenoblade chronicles, I don't think I'll be doing a lv1 restart for a long time. My first playthrough took up 150+ hrs alone and I haven't even grinded out all the party affinity links.

[@TheSuperjoseluis]

Shadownian i do the last one always haha i gotta know what the other choice would lead to so i save and do one choice then do the other

[@JonatasMonte]

Number 10 takes from the enjoyment of your choices, my 10th is do the same choices every time you play the game unless you're playing with a different character alignment. All the others are almsot a depiction of myselk but I like to rally the companions.

[@luckylunch3256]

Shadownian i do from 1-6 xD

[@derausmpark]

Number 10: *Heavy rain entered the chat*

[@anthonymitchell654]

the only time I skip a cut scenes if I just loss to a boss and I want revenge asap

[@MattoUchiha]

Yeah same here haha

[@smartboy201]

Wait, lost to the boss? Well, there goes my perfect run... *deletes 120-hour Persona save file*

[@anthonymitchell654]

smartboy201 I feel you man that is just horrible especially on the harder difficulties

[@smartboy201]

I feel like that should be another entry on the list: Compulsive saving after doing almost anything. Especially on JRPGs, where you'll use every save file you're given, just in case you screwed up and only learned of the screw-up later, so you need to go back three saves just to do something different.

[@anthonymitchell654]

sad part about that is ive made huge mistakes and saved but I will only save to one file

[@VivaSativaMusic]

A compulsive habit I had in RPGs, primarily Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim, was hoarding healing items and buff items, and never using them because I was afraid of not having them whilst fighting a particularly difficult group of enemies. But when I DID come across a difficult group, I'd still save them in case it got harder later. And the cycle continued.

[@TheDark4light]

Oh that sucks. Ive had to come up with rules to avoid it. Use up the smaller ones first when near death, the large ones when Im down the max they will heal and if it boosts stats temporarily or is used on the enemy then I sell it. All but one for those just in case moments But only after Ive died once trying to do it without healing. "If I hit him and he misses then I can kill him next turn and go to a place to heal without using any items." Not a smart way to play, especially when relying on a crit. Not to mention that it must be a multiple of 10 unless I only have a couple of the item at a time and if I get like 50 of them and havent even touch them I may sell 20, 30 max, dont know when you may need those 20 useless items.

[@VivaSativaMusic]

Hel Heim Although I recently really started getting into Dark Souls, and the problem has gotten even worse xD

[@kishinasura3962]

Abeth I wanna say the only game I actually used things in their entirety would be bloodborne. But there's a cap and you NEED them. Every other rpg I play I constantly have shit tons of potions and buffs that just sit. I don't sell them because I swear I'll need them, and when I think I need them, I probably forget and win the fight without using them, so I swear next time I'll use them. It's a never ending cycle of having a ridiculous amount of shit I'll never use. But, ya know, you never know.

[@redshepherd32]

man...... I've done this on rpgs as simple as mario and luigi. I keep like 20-30+ of each type of mushroom, syrup, and nut variants. I use them when I take less than 10 health damage after each fight. I've started to try and get into a habit of "if this type of healing item is too small for my current lv/health, then I will either sell off half my stock I collected from drops. That or make sure to have only 5-10 of a small heal item if I feel like they can be used for small bits of damage that can add up with larger types." Though to be fair, this scenario is basically filed with the "hoarding items" entry. The paranoia is real 🤓

[@kevinfitch4138]

Abeth yup, that's me with most rpgs.

[@yellowsaint3746]

7:35 "Why are you still watching this? " , im a completionist

[@iwillruletheworldyay]

same

[@LazyJesse]

Rule number 1: do all side quests before doing the main story mission. Why? ''Some'' games have side quests which automattically fail or dissapear if you do the main story before them... Rule number 2: listen to rule number 1

[@iwillruletheworldyay]

exactly how else will i know what changed after

[@loptseldr]

yes plus some games you cant progress in the main quest until you done the side missions.

[@lol0787]

Rule number 3: after completing a side-quest you're usually tougher because you unlocked new gear or weapons

[@splash_067]

Happened to me in the Witcher 3

[@aaronbullock794]

1. Maxing out equipment 2. Talking to every npc 3. Saving at every save point 3.5.creating multiple save files before a game defining moment 4. Having snacks ready for the long sessions 5. Well planned/timed bathroom breaks 6. Kill everything 7. Grind well beyond the minimum level to complete a task.

[@anddo24]

+Aaron Bullock The story of my gaming life right there... Talking to every NPC in Trails in the Sky (twice, to max out dialog), essentially reading ten novels.. Yea, I did that :/

[@LukieLuke5]

seven is the story of my gaming life, my god let me tell you when you have grinded so much you can win an unwinnable battle you feel awesome at first but then realization hit me and I layed down and cried about what my life has come to where I can actually do what is supposedly impossible to do god my life is a waste of precious energy I could be working at the job I turned down right now designing and working with high level nuclear fusion reactors with my IQ being higher than Einstein's which was 163, mine is 197 yet I waste away my scientific talent playing games and watching KZbin

[@clawyawngames8151]

"Herbs don't go next to the shotgun shells, now do they Leon?" No. Herbs go next to the First-Aid Spray, which goes next to the Pistol, which goes above the Magnum, which goes next to the High-Power Scope and Eggs, but above the Shotgun, which is above the Rifle, which is next to the RPG, which is under the Shotgun shells, which are next to the Rifle Casings, which are under the Magnum Rounds, which are next to the Pistol Rounds, and the Frag, Flash, and Incindary Grenades go in the middle... Do I have a problem?

[@medusathedecepticon]

That is to be respected

[@abborne1]

There's a sane part of me that tells me, when I pick up a new game, to just stumble through the main story first and see if I actually like it enough to dedicate myself to hammering away at all of its secrets. That part of me dozes off when I pause two minutes into the game to read all the non-hidden trophy descriptions.

[@SeanLifeFlame]

What about the leveling system? Any game that has experience points and level-ups, I HAVE to make sure ALL my characters/equipment/whatever are at MAXIMUM level before the final area, if not sooner!

[@Vgamer311]

+ApexCactus well op went out of his way to specify max level before reaching the final area. Six Ng cycles to level up to max isn't all that unusual, farming for days or even weeks on end to max out a character before the end of the game is.

[@Connor_Tyler]

I have the same problem as #4, I just, I *NEED* to watch all the cutscenes for a game that has a valid storyline. I once actually kicked my girlfriend out when I first got Skyrim cause she was talking through something, I don't even remember.

[@madbrosheo1514]

+Talon Marshall I know it's not the same thing, but Alduin in Skyrim. It even says you can search him but can you? No. Every playthrough of Skyrim I try to loot Alduin, just out of some habit of searching *everything* and I relive this over and over.

[@illburnmydread]

That's nice! How about we do it here now? I'll start with Sephiroth's masamune

[@cobbsquatch5120]

"Woahhhh that's my alone time USB" LOL XD

[@tendigitnumber]

The "no cutscene skip" thing happens every tie I start a new file on a game. Like if I've just died and have just seen the cutscene I'll skip it, but if it's a new playthrough? Nope, gotta watch it through at least the first time again. Dangit, me. This is why you will never speedrun.

[@fafnirthelagaardianhaxorus9862]

I was just thinking about that because I do the same thing, and considering that I restart games I've already played with great frequency...... it happens alot

[@vars280287]

[@insaner2play]

+Ted Mitchell I still feel the same about Virtua Quest for Gamecube. I did every mission, went to every location, and no matter what I still can't obtain this one model to get 100%.

[@Zidane_Mina]

+Ted Mitchell Why is that? Did the developers pulled a jerk move and only allowed a 97% completion ratio, or is the game victim of some sort of game breaking bug that prevents players to achieve a 100% completion rate?

[@tedmitchell7924]

+Zidane Mina yeah, some of the collectibles are missing and things like that

I'm gonna be honest. That cutscene bit with Rob? I'd literally watch that for hours, it surprisingly relaxing

[@Jackster-nj8fg]

bit ironic having a go for not skipping in an entry about not skipping

[@PlayStationAccess]

...yes.

[@Jackster-nj8fg]

+rcollpc I couldn't either and I feel stupid for not realising what they were doing

[@siemion303]

+Jackster2502 I have realized it after 10-15 seconds, but it still didn't stop me from watching it to the very end...

[@elizabethstevenson9707]

I sat for ages waiting for my slow internet to load up that bit. Muuuuuhhhhhhh!

[@rdavies793]

+rcollpc I watched knowing that it would be pointless but with just the tiniest doubt that there would some small thing in it to make it worth while (like a picture of a hamster holding a flower or something).

[@RyanSchack]

I am all of these and I am ashamed. I didn't skip to 8:47 in case something interesting happened.

[@iwillruletheworldyay]

subtitles are worth it

[@geoffbaumgartner5335]

I have all these problems, (and therefore a serious backlog) but I could never skip a cutscene. I know ppl who skip them the 1st time round, and to me that's absolutely insane!

[@Amanda-pi2nr]

I can definitely relate with needing to complete the maps in games. Completing the maps in Star Ocean was a pet peeve of mine. I'd skirt the edge of the map and wander back and forth across the open spaces to get every little pixel of that map and then figure out I was missing 0.1% somewhere and start all over again.

[@iheartjackieyes]

Excuse me, but side missions can be VERY important to games

[@ragequazar]

No they're not.That's why they're called SIDE quests.

[@iheartjackieyes]

Alexander Robertson Those loyality missions in Mass Effect 2 are side missions, you don't need to do then to complete the game. I guess they aren't important at all. Probably equally not important in Mass Effect 3. And I wouldn't consider doing any side quests in Borderlands or any Elder Scrolls game because, as we know, you can totally beat the game doing nothing but the main quest and not getting cool weapons or anything like that. Probably should avoid any mission that involves getting any weapon unless it's in the main quest. And those side missions in Fallout 3 and New Vegas? Pointless. I don't know why the game even has ending slides that mention them. They're totally irrelevant. Also I was being sarcastic because I like completing all the side quests I can before moving on in the main plot. I know sarcasm can be hard to read in text but maybe not everyone is being serious when they type.

[@ragequazar]

+JackieGoOutside This is why we really need a sarcasm font, we have to make do with a (!) at the end of something that's supposed to be sarcastic, which is why I always assume they're being serious if that's not after it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[@ragequazar]

[@chibisb]

[@willgenovy9963]

Agreed, no second unseen

[@bhull242]

+chibisb And even then, we will play through the game again just for that thing we skipped.

[@KaimArgonarEyyyy]

I was quite pleasantly surprised to see Dark Chronicle here. And yes, I do relate to filling up the maps on that game, even though those places are usually randomly generated.

[@TheAzulon]

In my defense - the "doing all sidequests" thing came from certain sidequests vanishing after you progress with the story and damaging your endgame. "oh, you wanted the best end? Should have saved that little girl in a sidequest that only showed before main quest phase 3" "The best weapon? oh, sorry you needed an item that only appeared in a alternate map during sidequest X that you can't do anymore"

[@Hebdrik]

Why do I always collect dragon scales and Dragon bones.

[@hypercriticalcritic9329]

cause they're expensive and worth selling

[@Hebdrik]

yeah but I hoard them...

[@hypercriticalcritic9329]

THj Hendrik that i do not understand

[@thegreatandpowerfultwily394]

Because dragon bones are pretty rare and useful, if you know how to use them. You say "Well, I don't need this now... But I COULD need this one day!" And before you know it you're over-encumbered with 800 pounds of dragon remains. =)

[@AHSValor]

+darien rodriguez That's me...50 of each, bones and scales, in my hoarder's chest of rare items in Breezehome and counting x'D

[@acecometshark2168]

Welp, I'm glad I am not the only one. But here's another that's exclusive to Dynasty Warrior-like game: anyone else needs to defeat every officer, capture EVERY camp, and annihilate every speck of red dot BEFORE finishing one match?

[@LadyLeFey]

**Raises hand**

[@Familydude-ct7pn]

i have the same compulsive behaviour that all discs must face upright in the boxes did that from ps1 till now

[@swskitso]

you mean they must be rotated upright? when I first read your comment I pictured people placing games in the cases backwards and thought "who would do that" I think I know what you mean now I never had a Playstation but my cousin had one till it broke then he replaced it and when the replacement broke he finally got a PS1. his consoles always had shorter lives because he does not take care of his things whenever I was visiting I would go through his entertainment center putting all games back into their cases because I couldn't stand to watch them get stepped on, or even see them in the wrong case.

The infamous series

[@Yorekani]

I left a dragon corpse in Skyrim because the loot of those lizards is too damn heavy. I felt betrayed when I couldn't find the damn dragon corpse again. Yes, I shouldn't have looted random clothing and equipment that, at best, will sell for a bit of silver, but can you blame me? I HAD to loot everything.

[@timdj-bonezzjones1389]

You can make your companion pick up things you can't carry! She has unlimited strength, and can carry everything, unless it was patched. You just have to drop them and tell that bitch to pick them up!!!

[@Yorekani]

Companions don't have infinite carry capacity either... ._. My hoarding knows no bounds. I'm also the kind of person who needs a house full of chests to store everything. It probably takes longer to sort everything than it would to search for stuff if I ever do take something out of them again. =^-^=

[@patrickhasachannel]

watching Rob for that minute and a half was quite worth it

[@thecornettmultiverse]

I agree with point 4 here. IT BUGS ME TO HELL when anyone I game with skips the story scenes and then wonders where they're supposed to go, when 97.19% of the time they'll TELL YOU in the cutscene where to go next!

I understand your pain, or if I need some materials to upgrade a set of armor or weapo, I horde like 50 pieces of it just to make sure I don't run out

[@Willbatross_]

I do number 6 ALL THE TIME in Borderlands. After defeating a boss with tons of stuff on the floor, or finding chests (which will most likely contain ammo) i loot every single one. I will check every single weapon those bosses drop to see if theyre useful. God, its an awful habit really

[@einstin2]

+GenericKZbinNameHD In Skyrim I have the same problem. What's worse is that when you mouse over a chest, urn, or whatever, it tells you if it is empty or not. I will still open it even if it says empty. You know, because maybe this time it won't Really be empty. It gets really bad in large treasure rooms, because you don't remember what boxes have already been checked and had only junk, and which is that mystical box I somehow missed. (I know I didn't miss that box. I clear rooms in a compulsively ordered manner specifically to avoid this. Doesn't matter though, I don't remember what junk was still there.)

[@Hallowedwanderer]

LMAO the driving to the hospital scene, oh I love this channel.

[@zackarynigbor7821]

My questions that i ask myself for picking things up are "Can i kill something with it?", "Is it a potion?", "Is it a book?", "Is the item's value > its mass?", and/or "Does it look or sound cool?". The item in question needs to fullfill one of those questions for me to pick it up

[@KRob811]

I didn't understand why he was saying its a chore to sit through that scene. That's hands down one of my favorite cutscenes that doesn't include Raiden. The sheer awe I felt when I realized how fucked and powerless I was to stop Liquid-Ocelot was just perfect.

[@lukejacques]

Yes all 6! But I can go one further, I MUST have the subtitles on, I can't let it past me if I miss some detail because of volume issues, or maybe radio chatter being converted to text so clearly for me... must have!

[@fafnirthelagaardianhaxorus9862]

That's kinda like me when it comes to leveling up my characters in either of the etrian odyssey untold games, that's why I always play on picnic.. judge me all you want but if I finish a battle and just ONE of my characters are dead.. (mainly with bosses) I almost HAVE to restart,no way am I going to continue and have 1,2,3 maybe even 4 characters one level below the 5th... however in the cases I can't avoid it, I'll spend time purposely leveling up my underleveled characters with the overleveled ones dead just so I can equal out their experience....

[@fafnirthelagaardianhaxorus9862]

... Or rather that's what I want to do... I end up just sucking it up and dealing with it haha Though.. I do it in a way at the start of both etrian odyssey untold games, making absolutely certain that my first character(s) are level 4 before fighting a certain boss monster, that way when the rest of the characters join the party(they join at lvl 5 after the battle, well in EOU1 anyway.. in EO2U they join at the start of the battle so I make sure the original characters are lvl 5 instead) the experience matches up so everyone's the same level. Sorry,That was a pretty long reply....
