This always gets me fucking killed but I can't stop reloading after every kill.

Thats not bad, its being cautious.
>>
>>387284439
Not when you are in the middle of a shooting

>>387284516
Assuming the reload time is fast enough it is.

It's not fast enough though.

You're my favorite people to see running around MMO's like shit, he looks like he's in a good mood
>>
>>387284628
I should do this as well, sounds inmersive
>>
>>387284709

Depends on the game. Anyway,

>buy way more healing items than necessary
>the amount of said items can only be a multiple of 4 or 5
>>
>>387284726

This isn't a bad habit at all

>>387284784
It changes the guns you like to use. I started that shit with that Medal of Honor for Ps2 that starts on Normandy, by the time Halo was around I could manage everything but the assault rifle.
>>
>>387284064
In real fps, there is no reload
>>
>>387284839
>Get close to end-game
>Making enough money to buy 100 or max of any health item
>Immediately restock to max if I have to use any during an encounter
>>
>>387284908
because...?
>>
>>387284865
Not now, since you can pretty much save instantly.

Older games that made you pause and wait for the save to be 100% written though, that small amount of time adds up
>>
I use a controller for shooting games, It's all I got; I've had to train my prediction skills because of how shitty it is.
>>
>>387284638
same here
>>
>>387284064
leaving music or a video playing in the background but realize its distracting but make no effort to turn it off.
>>
>>387285075
I unironically like shooting on controllers

mainly because I can control my strafe speed
>>
>>387284894
Frontline is one of my favorite games too, can you do this with automatic weapons, like in the newer call of duty?

>>387285361

I would just buy another one.

Sometimes another six.
>>
>>387284875
I alternate between (at least) 2 saves just in case I missed something
>>
>>387284064
>stockpile fantastic items/resources
>never use them
One of the most universal, hard to break habits video game habits imo.

I've actually been training myself to be more impulsive which has immense benefits in the vast majority of games. Rarely does a game not give you more than enough items to abuse your way through encounters.

i flow chart in fighting games and when I miss or feel like a hit wont land/be safe on block i get stupid hands. it looks like im mashing random buttons to others but im actually mashing that same button 2 or 3 times and crying internally that dropped the combo prying to the fighten diety that I some how didn't drop it.

>>
>jump all the time

I usually do this during the "stand and watch" moments, how autistic is this?
>>
>>387284064
This shit always fucking ruins me in games that uses a real mag system where you have to interchange them or throw away the ammo left in the mag completely when you reload
>>
>>387284919
>sell absolutely everything
>150k in stalker
better not buy that awesome weapon.. I might find one soon.

>>387284638
This is me in New Vegas. I swear it gets me where I need to be faster.

>>387284064
>jump
>keep holding jump button/key

Also:
>claw grip sub-human race
>>
>always play as the girl to look at her in the game and listen to her VA
>>
>>387284064
>Restart from checkpoint a million times to do it "cinematically"
>Self-restraint due to headcanon (corvo refuses outsiders mark, dark souls 3 mc is a black hand)

Not a Hero was another fun game that I ruined for myself because I had to get all 3 stars each mission. When playing Vidya I legitimately am ocd

>>387284994
You can't waste the whole mag.....
>>
>>387284994
guns in real FPS don't exist....
>>
>>387284064
>get new item
>spent next hour or 2 looking up on said item, how good it is, what it's used for, can it combine with something, etc
I hate this and I hate myself
