My “wierder” gaming habits š®

Good morning!
Do you remember how many āodd/unusual/wierdā reading habits posts youāve seen on the blogosphere? Well I was thinking exactly that ā but for gaming instead!! šĀ Because why not, eh, letās have some fun here. Feel free to hop in if you want to!
Disclaimer; whatās āwierdā for me may not be as wierd for you, or vice-versa. Not shaming what is or isnāt here, weāre just having fun!Ā
Ā
1- Replaying.. without ever finishing
I donāt know how many people is actually on my side here.. but itās like I donāt even wanna finish my games? šĀ 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 games⦠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 donāt 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 iām playing Pokemon Sword (switch) & Sims 4 (Mac) .. but iāve 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 āmood reader version 2ā of gaming.. and it most definately always fall on a moment of a game iāve replayed (so like,.. I know whatās coming in the story, of course) but iām 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. š¤¦š½āāļø
This most definately always happens on a specific Zelda dungeon.. and one in the PLAIN MIDDLE of the game; where iām either at dungeon one or like, five dungeon later xd
Ā
4- Getting into āgaming phasesā for a specific kind of games
Okay, so this is the āmood reader version 1ā referral .. We all know iām a huge Zelda fan, but iām a pokemon fan also ā but I find itās not both at the same time?? I can have months where iām only andĀ solely playing zelda games, not caring for pokemons, and then for another while it would be completely backward.
In case you havenāt noticed, iām on my pokemon phase right now. Not that I donāt ācareā 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 itās time for Zelda games to take the weels. This one I actually started noticed years ago.. which a āfriendā would be like Ā«But.. arenāt you a Pokemon/zelda fan?? Ā» as of which I was like; well erhhh yeah but-.. š¤·š½āāļø
[Which iām just now realizing this doesnāt invalidate my love for any of thoses two games whatsoever. you donāt need to always be obsessing about it for your love to āmatterā]
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 donāt even care about or donāt even wanna play xd
The one I remember alot is Diablo or a spaceship one that I have no idea how thatās called.. When I was in college I was also āspyingā on my friend in my course playing World of Warcraft ā and all of thoses are games that I wouldnāt 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 šĀ 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 iām playing too ahaha but that doesnāt 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
So my partner watches Twitch A LOT! Sada and Summit are the two he watches the most of so it’s weird when I have more than 2 days go past without hearing their voices. But otherwise I’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 I’ve done this so much I have no idea!
Ahaha yess !! nice to know i’m not the only one on that party š
Oh man I used to watch so many youtubers.. I completely stopped though xd
I’m totally guilty of only playing one game at a time. I can’t handle too much at once because I’m so naturally bad at videogames lol, so, I take my time with whatever one I am playing!
ahahah well, fair enough!! As long as you enjoy it, that’s all that matters!
I’ll go 6 months and not have any interest in the new games I bought. then I’ll have 6 months of interest rinse and repeat. I wanted to play Assassin’s Creed Odyssey so badly…and I’ve played maybe an hour in it months ago.
OOf- yep, kind of sounds like me too ahah when I bought Shield I actually didn’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
i watch dodger play a lot of games, partiucally because her personality is solovely! its hard to not love her š
Ah, from just seeing it I donāt think I ever watched her – isnāt it so nice to love a youtuber so much youād watch ANYTHING from them?
One of my favorite from France did a lets play of Bioshock (literally had to google videogame bug daddy šš had a blank) and although I didnāt knew or care for that game at all I watched all of it anyway hahah
