Some habits are meant to be broken some habits
Well, they're better off not broken
And whenever you spend a bunch of time doing something it's only natural that you're going to end up developing little habits along the way
But what are the habits related to gaming that you have picked up and you will probably never put down
What is up? Everybody? Chaos here. Welcome to chaos. Stop Tipton today. We're gonna be taking a look at ten gaming habits
Now you probably will never be able to shake or break
So be sure to let me know which of these habits you are a victim of trust me
There's plenty of this on this list that I am as well drop a like and here we go
Starting things off is talking out loud
To characters to to people that aren't really there that's right a very common one that often accompanies players getting frustrated or confused
With a character doing something stupid
We've all been in that situation
Where an NPC character does something really dumb or maybe an enemy does something really stupid and we still fall for it and we die
Which leads us to well, we exclaim our frustration with the occurrences
Despite our words having no real effect on anything videogames put us in a pretty unique scenario that we would never lie
I mean we wouldn't experience this in the real world
and I guess that's what causes us to act so irrationally and try to reason with
Computers that will never actually hear us at least not yet
But when AI gets to a certain point and then become self thinking and Skynet takes over. Well, that's a different story
Spamming one combo raise your hand if you're guilty of this
I'm raising mine right now and many fighting games and hack and slash errs, especially when you're not very good at them
There can be a pretty overwhelming amount of combos for you to learn
well
There at that classic habit that comes into play you find one combo you like and you can do easily and you can remember easily
And you spam the crap out of it until you find one or two other combos to spam out with now people who play fighting
Games regularly may not have this problem
most of us other gamers will likely just find that one special combo that works good enough for us and
Rarely actually branch out from that. I know it's cheesy. I know it's scummy, but that's just how it is
rushing through dialogue choices
RPGs alright ton of fun and they really draw you in with all the
possible dialog choices and potential routes for your story to take but
They are also the kind of game that sometimes draws a bit of boredom
If you've just been dealing with some dialogue after dialogue after dialogue and you just want to get in this a game play here
Here's where this leads - we sometimes rush through the dialogue choices in an effort to get some action going
But we always regret doing this because it seems that whenever you rush through a dialogue choice
That dialogue exchange ends up being the one that had the biggest impact on the story in the game
So always pay attention
To what you're saying to other characters because you never know when you're going to end up screwing up the entire gaming world
with your choices
blaming lag
I just did this 10 minutes ago on my live stream my live stream every day at twitch.tv slash cow sex out so go check
It out link in the top of the description
Lag is a super frustrating component of pretty much any online game and since multiplayer games are getting more and more popular by the day
It is kind of surprising that we still have triple-a games that come out laggy
I mean they are they really are but even if there's no lag to be seen in the connectionist picture-perfect
you're still gonna have those moments where you would rather blame lag then an actual mistake or your
Shortcomings yourself and look I know lag is legitimate. It's a problem, but come on. You can't always die to lag
Can you eventually you're gonna have to admit you screwed up and lost the game because of it
kicking bodies around or shooting bodies
I did this ten minutes ago on black ops 4 most
Action games and shooters will do one of two things after you defeat an enemy
The first option is the bodies of the enemy will either disappear just get stuck to the floor
You can't interact with them
but the second option is the bodies will ragdoll and just become props and other characters can interact with and that
That is where the fun begins my friends whenever you play a game where enemies will ragdoll after being defeated. It's almost impossible
It's almost impossible to resist at least the urge to kick the bodies around a little bit or try to manipulate other NPC characters
Into walking into them sure. It's a little morbid
It's a little sick, but it's just one of those things
That sounds pretty awful when you put it on paper
But it's just another thing that we as gamers cannot resist doing and when we are in that certain
Situation this month's giveaway is for a brand new PlayStation 4 console

Included cracking into the top 5 and I'm starting to see that most of these habits. I am guilty of
Mashing buttons during cutscenes. I think we can all agree that unskipable cutscenesthat's
There's no option to skip them or when we just can't skip them yet because the next level is loading
It's pretty common
The gamers will get impatient and desperately start mashing buttons and hope to get this secret button code to get to the next gameplay
segment a little faster
even though it doesn't exist and sure some games have great stories that you do care about and you're invested in when you're replaying a
Game though. You already know what happens or perhaps you're going for a little speed run
It can be pretty annoying when the characters are getting all dramatic with each other and you already know what they're gonna say
You know the outcome and you just want to get back into the actual gameplay
So you take your your fingers and you try to find these amazing secret codes that you just mash the buttons
Hitting NPCs while they're talking now a common storytelling technique in video games is to have an NPC character
Talk to you during your gameplay this way the story can be told without needing a cutscene
It helps the player stay immersed since they never lose control of their character. It's good, right?
Well, since many gamers often just want to get into the next gameplay session
This will lead to many of us not being very polite to the NPC that is currently talking to us
We lose our manners we do we'll walk around them
We'll bump into them will even start throwing punches at their face while they're blabbing on about some
backstory or something or some prints off in another realm that has some magic potion in the game's universe and they keep us from getting
On to our next mission having NPCs relay story information is good
It keeps the momentum going in a video game
But there's no denying that it can still sometimes serve to kill the pace in the play of the game when we just want to
Get to the next gameplay section. Maybe we should look in the mirror
Maybe our impatience is the issue here and it's not actually these NPCs these poor NPCs that we just we abuse
Stocking up during
game sales
Ever since the explosion of digital game sales that really happened about a decade or so ago big sales have become commonplace for digital game
Markets like Steam Xbox Live PSN and other third-party sites like g2a in the Humble Bundle with prices
so low
It could be hard to resist the urge to just stock up on tons and tons of games
Regardless of how much interest you actually had in them
Then this leads to many gamers having massive libraries of games both physical and digital but not actually having played them at all
I'm guilty of this and then the super annoying part comes in when you actually get around to playing these games you got on sale
a long long time ago
but then guess what a new sale just came up and you stock up once again and those games get buried below other games that
You'll never play the cycle continues on
So how many games do you own that you haven't actually played be honest with me in the comment section
Keeping your magazine full this this goes along with reloading after one shot
Okay, shooter players will definitely know this
I'm
so bad at this most shooters will give you a little thing on your HUD that tells you how many shots are left in your
mag
but 99.9% of gamers will always go out of the way to make sure that magazine is always full even if it means
Reloading when you only have one when you have only shot one bullet or it means getting yourself in a sticky situation
Because you were relieved reloading instead of shooting. I died a couple times that for that today
I don't know why I can't fix my muscle memory due to the fact that
Unused bullets in a videogame mag will just magically teleport to your next magazine
There's no punishment for constantly reloading and wasting your bullets which eventually gave birth to the habit that tons of us do
We always reload our guns regardless of how necessary
It may be or may not but since we're on the topic
can you imagine how much it would change a cod game or a battle royale game if the developers actually treated reloading like it is
In real life and you threw a mag way while it still had 20 bullets in it. You just lost those bullets poof
They were gone. People will be forced to break that habit of compulsively reloading and on top of this
I have a problem where I get in a gunfight
I killed a guy and then I automatically reload even if I still have 15 or 20 bullets left
I just I have to reload and that gets me killed more often than not
Breaking everything finishing off this list today is a habit that is present in just about every video game genre
It's a pretty common game mechanic to hide goodies in boxes or closets or chests or anything and it's up to the player to break
Them and find the stuff but due to the fact that this mechanic has been in video games for literal decades
now it has just led to about every gamer on the planet now having the habit of
Breaking anything and everything in just about every game they play
It doesn't matter if it's an action game an RPG a shooter or a horror game anything at all if you have the ability
To break crates or closet doors or wardrobes or dressers or walls or houses or barrels anything like that?
You are 100% going to do it in hopes of finding some secret items or materials to help you on your journey
You don't want to be that guy or girl that walks past something that had a level 72
magical enchanted unicorn encrusted
Sword case right? Yeah there you have it my friends
Those are 10 gaming habits that you're probably guilty of and you probably can't break for whatever reason you guys
