Renne Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Uh...? Overhealing, always making sure I have a healer and I go defensive/slow. I like to explore and stuff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narga_Rocks Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 oh yeah that's probably my legit answer to yesterday @today: really depends on the game, but i guess my one overarching theme is that if i ever rely on consumables for a (party/character) build makeup, i consider myself a fucking failure. even if the game's, like, diablo, and the consumable is healing potions, it's still a failure. i didn't use healing potions ever in monster hunter tri until i beat royal ludroth. i just, oops, died, i'll reset and have another go - i'll just dodge everything this time! problem is, that leads to my more generalist mentality, if it's not indefinitely sustainable i don't like it. i use no mana in most ff games, except 4ds where i use as much mana as rosa can give back with infinite pray, etc. you forgot Dark Souls. You used the estus flask thing, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 you forgot Dark Souls. You used the estus flask thing, right? sparingly, but it was essentially infinite so i didn't mind on the other hand, i practically never used humanity/twin humanity on my first playthrough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 defensive playstyle before going in with a bang in one turn "sweep". I'm also a huge fan of advantageous plays in card games in general Like, In Yugioh, my Karakuri deck and most of my favorite deck involves floater who can snowballs my rushdown. Junk Synchron based deck relies on setting Ryko before rushing down with Junk Spam(this is an old, 2011 deck so....), my Karakuri deck atm involves using Worm Hope and Giant Rat plays before snapping the game in half with Komachi > Bureido plays This is also why I loved playing Naru Sweep in Vanguard because its sudden field wipe is fun especially combined with Shuki. Tempest is also fun thanks to Tempest being the strongest mid game vanguard in the game with a useful, albeit situational field wipe, before slapping down Descendant/Sweep to clean up the mess Also I liked doing massive "free" damage that need no preparation. In pokemon, stuff like Latios, Kyurem, Aegislash(the good one), Terrakion, and Landorus with Attack/SP.A investment are fun stuff to use thanks to their burst damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peener weener Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) idk depends on the kind of game but usually whatever looks raddest/silliest i will choose that means it's the big sword or the cool gun or the floppy green undefined weapon basically the more phallic symbolism the better, thanks freud Edited February 12, 2014 by Stolypin Necktie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanarkin Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) It generally depends. Games like FF9 i literally walked along the edge of very town and dungeon up to where i got to the hunting game. I got tired of doing that after that and decided to just chill a little more. Also i generally prefer to have characters whose personalities i like in my party. Sometimes this doesn't end up being great composition because it ends up being too frail or too tanky (and as such no damage) or there isn't a healer... etc... Fire Emblem, before i used to play drafts i mainly went for characters i liked and such never cared for turn counts. After drafts, I love to make a killer miccy with 20 speed near part 1 end and then just rape everything with her. for games like league of legends i prefer using characters i like. These are often not very strong and have difficulties doing things. But i like them for that reason. Its the greatest thing to catch an Ashe with Udyr.

PKLucas531 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It's very hard/impossible for me to finish a NG+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahrivar Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Overdoing it, I guess? 300 hours played+ in Pokemon Y, Dark Souls amd FE:A etc, without being completionist (I still have only around 500 different Pokemon). I hate achievements and almost never complete all of them (Dark Souls being an exception), but besides them I try to complete everything worthwhile. I prefer an aggressive playstyle - although this might differ in some games (if the playstyle doesn't appeal to me, but mostly it's rather aggressive). But classcannons are a thing for me.

TheEnd Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Disdaining easy modes but being unable/unwilling to deal with harder ones (i.e. sticking to normal) Also grinding, while finding NG+ with level carryovers unbearably tedious Edited February 12, 2014 by TheEnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciarre Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 ignoring 99% of NPCs hoarding items I'll usually hoard ALL THE ITEMS unless I've played it before (like pokemon/tales and shit) and I know what's coming because I'm paranoid about running out of healing shit in a fight or something.

peener weener Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 oh also i guess i undergrind in rpgs. which is to say i don't. i've had to complete games way behind the "recommended level" by being an exploitative faggot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Games in which it is possible to miss anything (permanently) drive me nuts I'm not even sure if I count as a "perfectionist," I do sidequests and shit but often almost as much out of a fear of missing anything as for the content In multiplayer games, with team shit I tend to gravitate to doing roles that will make other players happy support/heal dudes 1v1 tends to depend on the game heavily enough that I have a hard time seeing patterns, but things I enjoy: maneuverability, not getting hit, sick power behind (moderate) execution barriers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It depends on the game, but I have a habit of focusing on the lord when I play FE. Also Archers and Mages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vashiane Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Frugality? What's that? Really, if I have money and there's things to be bought, expect me to blow it all and then cheer when I finally get more... ... And then spend it all again. On the OTHER hand, I'm always very well equipped! Edited February 13, 2014 by Vashiane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mewyeon Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well, being careful with the in game money that I get, and never doing any kind of grinding of any sort. The few times that I've broken that rule were painful :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifer Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I would say near optimal play. I do enjoy looking up guides to see to make the most l33t build possible. I may deviate a bit for fun and roleplay a bit. I tend to make thief like characters due to my favorite character class in 1st ed. D&D being chaotic neutral fighter/thieves. I have done some crazy things with those characters. like that time where I unleashed an orc army on those gypsies... fun times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeiji Koishi Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I will, in an rpg, always buy the new shiny toys that appear in the new town I just arrived in, depending on if I think it's worth it (lol no shield that reduces my evade to abysmal levels). In FE, however, I go for frugality. Gotta make that money last. For some reason. Finally, in dungeon crawlers/roguelikes, I hoard. Which would explain several of my deaths in Nethack...
