Same here. When entering/exiting interior/exteriors, I always save as well.

I can't turn left.

Makes racing games a nightmare.

Whenever I play Free Mode on GTA IV, people tend to learn to be careful when attacking me while I'm in a car. They always seem surprised when they start doing a drive-by on my car and every single bullet I fire, while driving at speed, goes through their windshield and into his/her face.
You could reverse the direction on a NASCAR track. You'd actually have an advantage since no NASCAR driver can turn right.

I liked that too. My ancient 486 had a similar puzzle game where you had to build a pipe before the water floods out. Don't remember the name, but i did wonder if it was just a coincidence that they were practically the same.

Pipe Dreams I think...

Dark souls made me very paranoid. WILL NOT transverse the white light without full potions and full health.

I horde money. Even if the game is known to be plentiful in the money department.

I horde consumables... I'll play through something 5-6 times instead of using a consumable to beat it the first time

About the only thing I ever actually use are health pots when no time to heal (like while death blow swing is RIGHT ABOUT to hit me lol)... sometimes mana pots if it's a boss type fight (otherwise I force myself to wait on regen, which is stacked, and save pots for boss fight)

I am the opposite, I try to not have a lot of money so I do not always feel like a money bags in games.

Im paranoid parrot, I horde potions and scrolls. I look for tactical advantages such as looking to get double kills with the melta gun in space marine, or double kill in tf2 with the machina.

i prefered the hacking by a long shot in system shock 2. did not get tedious and so many things influenced your chances of success, like a true rpg.
they are exactly the same near enough just simpler in bioshock, yes its pipe dreams. in system shock 2 you can get a MFD player (basically a portable console) that lets you play all kinds of gimmicky old school games such as minesweeper. thats if you find the games lying around. there is at least 10 i think.

I will reload my firearms every time I get a chance, even if my magazine is just short by one round.

When I'm done playing a game, I will save the game manually and then press the "Save & Exit" option in the menu.

I used to quicksave like nuts, but the common checkpoints/autosaves in most games has mostly gotten me out of that habit.

I loot all of the dead bodies.

EDIT: Also.
A fellow SysShock fan! Awesome. I don't come across you guys too often on the interwebs, sadly enough. But anyway...

IMO the hacking in System Shock 2 was completely uninspired. The hacking in System Shock 1 was kind of gimmicky but at least it was interesting. I would like to see something sort of like what they originally envisioned for SysShock 1 - a realistically technical hacking simulation.

I don't know if this really qualifies as a superstition, but anytime I enter a maze, dungeon, what have you, I always go left first. Later I may go right instead of left, but the first turn is always to the left.

I am guilty on this, as well. I am such a ammo waster

SS2 is one of the greatest games ever made- FACT deus ex too. people would realise that if knew the games inside out
you serious? what game has better hacking then? only 1 id say- deus ex human revolution, but that got a little tedious without lockpicking to mix it up. how can you say its uninspiring? yes it is a luck based game, but also a stat based game. many things factor into your success- hacking skill, cyber attribute, cyber implants, cyber affinity psi power, hacking software and luck. the mini-game itself was pretty standard but stats make up for it. think final fantasy series- combat is basically select command, watch player execute it, but the rpg gameplay behind it makes up for it. system shock 2 overall is a perfect mix of skill & stat based gameplay.

I do that too. I always end up with at least 100 pounds of potions and potion ingredients in my inventory in TES.


This too. I'm actually trying to break myself of it because it's gotten me killed more than a few times. Damn you, muscle memory.

I swear this is right.

Check every inch of an area before moving on
Always making sure I have a full clip of ammo even after firing 1 bullet (though i'm sure its what a lot of others do too)
Closing all doors before I exit/move forward from an area (not sure why, guess so that I know when an enemy has entered)
Sneak around everywhere pretending to be an assassin (its even gotten to the point where I whisper if someone tries to talk to me while I'm doing it)

Never reload when you have an odd number of shots left in your mag.

I had 5 shots left in my 10mm when I reloaded in Fallout 3, I left the metro and found myself face to face with a deathclaw random encounters.

I have now exclusively reloaded only when I have an even number (or 0) shots left I my gun. In every game.

Yup. I've got like 40 stamina potions in Skyrim right now. I have 330 Stamina...I use a bow...I don't need all those potions, but I refuse to get rid of them.

Not something I do ingame, but whenever I'm playing a PC game, I have a certain way of sitting. My old desk had a little divet where my right wrist would rest.

oh and i have to be in civillian dress if im in towns or cities in rpgs

I click the "take all" button even if there is nothing to take. I know, It's messed up. OCD or something.


I also do that.

it is!

As for catching Pokemon, instead of DOWN + B, I tap A when the ball shakes and I catch it, if I don't do it and fail I blame the fact I didn't do it

cmon your meant to be the pokemon fan here.... for pokeball & great ball its down + B. ultra ball its right & A. or was it left and A? is that it or is there anymore balls beside the masterball?
