Your OCD in gaming?

Do you have any OCDs in gaming?

mine i call it the search OCD that i try searching every corner for power ups, ammo...etc and feel uncomfortable when i feel like i missed something.

it gets more annoying in sand-box games but i try to overcome it.

am curious if anybody got any kind of OCD.

I wouldn't say ocd but pissed when I make it to a location with a lot of enemies and I don't have ammo

I also have reload syndrome, after every fight in a shooter, even if I use say 2 rounds of a 24 round clip, I will reload. Sepewrath

Same here :( I do it on allmy console shooters and the habbit kills me in online shooters when I reload after I kill someone when there is 4 more coming at me

If you hae an OCD in gaming then you need to stop, seriously! If you et pissed then that is differenct but when you cant sleep or do anything other than find the last hidden package in the game you need to find another hobby.

Reload syndrome. Reload after every firefight.

Closing doors. In games like Oblivion or Sacred, if I open a closed door and walk through, I always have to close it. Leaving it open just feels weird.

Double jumping. In platformers, even if I know I can make the jump by pressing X once, I always press it twice for good measure.

Overstocking. Before I leave a town or go onto the next area, I always gather up more ammo or items than I actually end up using.

Greed. If it's a chest, open it; a box, smash it.

I have these as well, greed is probably from my missing things ocd. I have the overstocking bad, i hate to sell things in rpgs, even if i never use them. I think everyone has RS.

Reload Syndrome and Overstocking.

I have something like reload syndrome but its mainly in strategy games....

if I make one foolish move, or lose even a single player, Ill often restart the whole stage, even if Im deep in it.....Ive been trying to break this with Valkyria Chronicles, because Ive done some of the battles 20 times just trying not to lose a single player....

i definitely have these...

ughh.. can't count the number of times reloading got me in trouble (i kind of kicked the habbit, but still reload after a kill once in a while)... and chests? i even open those after i overstocked and have uber equipment...

to those i would also add:

Extra Button Pressing: For some reason i tend to think that would do extra damage...

Item attachment: sometimes when i pick up fairly rare perishable items (recovery, stat boost, etc) i feel the need to savor them... and often time i end up not using them at all throughout the entire course of the game when they could have clearly made things easier...

If in Burnout Paradise, for example, I accidentally bump into something, I will then purposely total my car so that I respawn brand new again. :DRotaryRX7

Ahh yes, The Compensator Syndrome.

I had this too when I played a lot of Midnight Club. I liked to cruise in that game, and if I ever bumped in to something, I would open up the map and transport to the garage to fix it and then cruise some more.

• Searching every corner
• Obtain every power-up / Overstocking
• Reload constantly
• Game series on the same console
• Double jumping
• Play games in order
• Keep games alphabetical, original casing
• The 'compensator syndrome'

Yeah, pretty much OCD to some degree on all of these. lol

I have reload OCD, Kill everything in sight OCD and cheapskate OCD ( I tend to save too many points, money, and other things i should be spending on upgrades and such)

I've got restart OCD. In racing games, I always feel compelled to restart the race if I run into anything and people get ahead of me.

I usually search levels. Most multiple route games are cliche. Going right progresses you through. Going left always had "the secret item" or a better route to that item that the right side completely bypasses.

I also prefer to have everything unlocked. Especially with something such as a fighting game for example.

When I was younger, I used to care about getting "the 100% completion". But back then, it was actually fun. 100% meant "you found all of the secrets". Now it's just trophies and BS like "kill the blue guy a thousand times" or "Play the game 50 times". So I don't care about that anymore.

Alot of people have said this already, but i also like to extensively search levels for hidden items/easter eggs etc.

Also if its a series of games, i need to own every one regardles how good they are... GTA, Tomb Raider etc :)

i have to kill/do what i need to do one way the way i want to do it..I.E. force unleashed i like to kill people with lightning so if i dont kill them with lightning wel.i keep trying till i do

Yeah I hate how trophies is changing how games would reward you in the past.

My OCD in RPGs is I always have to have an amount of items divisble by 5. So say I have 7 potions, I'll buy 3 more to make ten or if I have 99 potions I'll sell them to get a cleaner number. I don't get why the cap is 99, just make it 100 gosh.

once I start a series on a particular console every iteration has to be on that console, even if there is a "superior" version on another console. The only way I will change consoles is if the game is not available on the original console, like how RE4 was on the cube for RE5 wasn't on the Wii, if it were, even with it being on the PS3 and 360 I would have gotten it for the Wii. When Bioshock 2 comes out I will get it for the 360 because thats where I played the first, the same goes for Dead Rising. And I will get Assassins Creed 2 and MW2 on the PS3 because thats where I play those franchises. My series have to have order to them. Sepewrath

I'm the exact same way. I keep all my games on the same console if I can, and if I'm forced to switch, I stick with the new one after that. That's the reason I'm getting Assassin's Creed 2 and BioShock 2 for 360 and I'm getting FFXIII and Metal Gear Solid Rising for PS3 (to name a few examples for each). The only exceptions I would say for this are DMC4 and Madden 07. I played all the DMC games on PS2, but I didn't have my PS3 when it came it out so I got the 4th for 360, and if they release a 5th I'd probably get that for 360 too. With Madden, me and my brother had always shared a copy on a Nintendo Platform (2002 for N64 and 2004 and 2005 for GC), but when 07 came out I got it for 360 because I didn't want the motion controls, and I'm buying 10 for 360 too in 2 weeks when it comes out.

I have this weird thing where if it's a game that fills in the map as you explore, I explore every last inch to make the map complete, even if I don't need to go in the area at all. This was put to the extreme in Persona 3 and 4 because the floors changed every day in the game, so when I would go to floor XX, even after I had found the stairs I would still explore the rest of the floor to finish the map, even if I was just reentering to find an item or level grind. I also open every last chest I find, and when I find a good item, I wind up hoarding it to save for the end of the game, but most of the time I never use the items I hoard anyway, so instead of using them in the beginning or middle when I actually need them, I'm stuck with them at the end.

I don't really think reloading is OCD though. To me it's common sense to reload after a battle so that when you enter the next you're ready to go. Now if you're the kind of person that comes out from cover, fires 2 shots, ducks behind cover again, and then reloads, that would be OCD, but not after every battle.

OMG I forgot this. I always keep things in 5's, 10's, or 20's if I'm buying to replenish stock. If I just find items though I let the number go and if it hits 99 I leave it. Also I guess this multiple of 5's thing counts for stats in Fallout 3. Every time I level up I always try and get my stats to multiples of 5. I upgrade the ones I want first and then try and balance out the rest as best I can with the remaining points to get them to 5 or 0. Another one I forgot is party order. I always try and keep all my characters levels the same, even if it's a character I don't use or like, and when I switch them in and out, I try and keep them in the same order. I have entirely too many of these lol

I wouldn't say ocd but pissed when I make it to a location with a lot of enemies and I don't have ammo

Terrencec06

Yes me too. And just the overall unprepared effect in general. At the moment I'm playing Nocturne and I got like surprise attacked by 'Matador' at a lowish level and he kicked my ass and I didn't save for a while.

I still do that. I was watching my friend play Killzone 2 yesterday and he hardly ever reloaded on his own. It really got on my nerves. I think I got the OCD from playing the campaign in Killzone 2 without the Hud stuff on screen. So I couldn't see the crosshair or the amount of ammo. It did make it more realistic though.

As far as "conserving" goes, only if the game calls for it. I do it a lot in Fallout 3 though because it actually has to count in the first part. But if there isn't a limit per se, then I don't really care.

As far as reloading goes, I do when I have cover just to avoid the "shot while reloading" annoyance:lol:

Reload. Not only do I reload after every firefight, I reload like 6 times while killing one guy. Probably not smart.

If I start a mission or a level, I'm going to finish it assuming its not a pressing issue that would require me to leave immediately. Otherwise, I ain't leaving til its done.

Fire Emblem "OH NOES BOYD!!!!!" syndrome. Exclusive to Fire Emblem series as of now but if someone (besides Meg of course) dies, reset console. Actually this last one I let a few guys die but it really tore me up inside.

Same controller syndrome. I have multiple controllers for most of my consoles. I always use a certain one of them (even though its usually the one suffering from the most wear and tear). Even bring them over to friend's houses to use it.

And I keep my games in Alphabetical Order separated by console.

EDIT: I also go back through the newly cleared out room and such looking for extras. I never find them :(

in games like Fallout 3. i'll actively rummage through every nook and crany of a room to see if i find anything particularly useful. then i'll quick-travel back to the house and stock it up.

Reload after every major gun battle and stock up on enemies ammo.

When playing a game like Resistance or Gears of War, where your ammo for your specific gun runs dry, time to pick up the enemies rifle and use theirs.

Reload syndrome is not really OCD it just makes sense to keep a full clip at all times, unless you opt to reload even when things are still shooting at you.

I'm obsessed with being 100% completist with RPGs. If I missed something I'll either restart or stop playing altogether.

I have two.

1. I reload like crazy

2. I'm really impulsive with buying games

If there is a map in the game where even a little part is shaded because I didn'tgo to that part and I know that there is nothing there I will still go just to make the map complete

I always play on easy (or very easy) at first then kick up the difficulty every time I finish.

Double jumping. In platformers, even if I know I can make the jump by pressing X once, I always press it twice for good measure.

Scianix-Black

Gaaah! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

I have reloading syndrome that is always a cause of death in Battlefield 1943 - reloading is prettyrealistic but soooo annoying at certain points.
