My ā€œwierderā€ gaming habits šŸŽ®

Good morning!

Do you remember how many ā€œodd/unusual/wierdā€ reading habits posts youā€™ve seen on the blogosphere? Well I was thinking exactly that ā€“ but for gaming instead!! šŸ˜Ā Because why not, eh, letā€™s have some fun here. Feel free to hop in if you want to!

Disclaimer; whatā€™s ā€œwierdā€ for me may not be as wierd for you, or vice-versa. Not shaming what is or isnā€™t here, weā€™re just having fun!Ā 


Ā 

1- Replaying.. without ever finishing
I donā€™t know how many people is actually on my side here.. but itā€™s like I donā€™t even wanna finish my games? šŸ˜‚Ā For the exception of Breath of the Wild & Ocarina of time, that I finished the whole story and beated ganon twice, I usually play until maybe 3/4th of the gamesā€¦ and then I restart. Over and over again.

Ā 

2- I can only play ONE game, usually per console, at a time
Nevermind switching cartridges back and forth, because im lazy like that xd (which, now with the eshop I donā€™t really have an excuse.. but *shh*) ā€” I just get really INTO one game in specific and play the hell out of it, all the time, until my mood shift and goes for another one.

Per exemple; Right now iā€™m playing Pokemon Sword (switch) & Sims 4 (Mac) .. but iā€™ve put Graveyard Keeper on the side (switch) to go for pokemon instead
[Am I even making sense?? do anyone do that too??]Ā 

Ā 

3- I get random urge to play a SPECIFIC moment in a game
I guess this one *could* technically be referred as the ā€œmood reader version 2ā€ of gaming.. and it most definately always fall on a moment of a game iā€™ve replayed (so like,.. I know whatā€™s coming in the story, of course) but iā€™m either too far or too early in the game. But the thing is.. I wanna play that RIGHT NOW. No time to wait for me to get there. šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø

This most definately always happens on a specific Zelda dungeon.. and one in the PLAIN MIDDLE of the game; where iā€™m either at dungeon one or like, five dungeon later xd

Ā 

4- Getting into ā€œgaming phasesā€ for a specific kind of games
Okay, so this is the ā€œmood reader version 1ā€ referral .. We all know iā€™m a huge Zelda fan, but iā€™m a pokemon fan also ā€” but I find itā€™s not both at the same time?? I can have months where iā€™m only andĀ solely playing zelda games, not caring for pokemons, and then for another while it would be completely backward.

In case you havenā€™t noticed, iā€™m on my pokemon phase right now. Not that I donā€™t ā€œcareā€ for zeldas anymore; i still think about playing breath of the wild daily.. but it kind of has taken the backseat for now as my brain gush about pokemons, until the day where it decide that itā€™s time for Zelda games to take the weels. This one I actually started noticed years ago.. which a ā€œfriendā€ would be like Ā«But.. arenā€™t you a Pokemon/zelda fan?? Ā» as of which I was like; well erhhh yeah but-.. šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø
[Which iā€™m just now realizing this doesnā€™t invalidate my love for any of thoses two games whatsoever. you donā€™t need to always be obsessing about it for your love to ā€œmatterā€]

Ā 

5- Sometimes.. watching someone else play is better
Horror genre falls in this alot, as we probably all know. But I just love watching people play in general; I used to sit beside my uncle when I was young and just.. watch him play. Games that I donā€™t even care about or donā€™t even wanna play xd

The one I remember alot is Diablo or a spaceship one that I have no idea how thatā€™s called.. When I was in college I was also ā€œspyingā€ on my friend in my course playing World of Warcraft ā€” and all of thoses are games that I wouldnā€™t even touch by myself given the chance, not that they are bad but you know, not my type.

Ā 

I was actually only having #1 in mind when I started writting this post, ahah wow that adds up quick šŸ˜‚Ā I might think of something else by the time this comes live.. *aherm*Ā 
Of course I also do some common stuff like screaming and swearing at whatever iā€™m playing too ahaha but that doesnā€™t get to make the lists~

Do you do any of thoses 5 things while gaming like me?
What are some of your wierder habits? Ā

  1. So my partner watches Twitch A LOT! Sada and Summit are the two he watches the most of so itā€™s weird when I have more than 2 days go past without hearing their voices. But otherwise Iā€™m not really into watching others play for any length of time. BUT I am I total guilty party for getting half way to 3/4 of the way through a game and then restarting it HAHAHAHAHA Iā€™ve done this so much I have no idea!

    1. Ahaha yess !! nice to know iā€™m not the only one on that party šŸ˜‚
      Oh man I used to watch so many youtubers.. I completely stopped though xd

  2. Iā€™m totally guilty of only playing one game at a time. I canā€™t handle too much at once because Iā€™m so naturally bad at videogames lol, so, I take my time with whatever one I am playing!

  3. Iā€™ll go 6 months and not have any interest in the new games I bought. then Iā€™ll have 6 months of interest rinse and repeat. I wanted to play Assassinā€™s Creed Odyssey so badlyā€¦and Iā€™ve played maybe an hour in it months ago.

    1. OOf- yep, kind of sounds like me too ahah when I bought Shield I actually didnā€™t planned to play it right away .. and then I started for a trade that never happens (as im too cheap to buy the nintendo online thing) aaand I kept playing xD

    1. Ah, from just seeing it I donā€™t think I ever watched her ā€“ isnā€™t it so nice to love a youtuber so much youā€™d watch ANYTHING from them?

      One of my favorite from France did a lets play of Bioshock (literally had to google videogame bug daddy šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ had a blank) and although I didnā€™t knew or care for that game at all I watched all of it anyway hahah
