Guitar Woman Majora's Mask is the only game I can remember being relentlessly obsessive with.

I completed it 100%. Twice.

GADZOOKS Majora's Mask had a nicely detailed swamp area, that's the only compliment I can give it

Oh yeah, this too. Especially in Doom, I'd never use anything past the Chaingun because the ammo was sparse.

And sailing was the only part of the game. I still liked it better than Majora's Mask

GADZOOKS Sailing was the best part of the game.

That must of took you forever! sailing was the worst part of that game.

Fat_Hippo I can't play Baldur's Gate 2 anymore without planning all my NPC switches and in which order I do all the quests beforehand. It's turning into a real problem.

I think we all have some issues...

Holy SHIT, me too! I can't play that game because I worry day and night that I missed a scan on the Space Pirate ship...

I get pretty crazy about troops in Company of Heroes though. If I lose even a single man I pull them out of combat and try to heal them up. It just feels so real

T-Rex I'm terribly unethical at Lemmings. The blocker guy? I didn't know how to stop him from blocking, so to get him out of the way, I'd give the dude a one-way ticket to his maker. Just for doing his job!

I totally understand where you're coming from about wanting to not lose anyone/anything. But I'm like that in loads of games though. I'll get an awesome weapon but will never use it because I don't wanna waste the ammo.

Dang my moderation!

Ant10708 I always tried to keep my Pikmin alive. Losing them in battle didn't bother me much because they died for a cause but I always tried avoiding leaving one out at nighttime.

Emu When trolling on Warcraft III I used to send wave after wave of armed peasants at enemies with no expectations of seeing them survive, yet losing Pikmin or Lemmings is always a crying shame for me.
Apr 8th, 2008 05:09 PM
MetalMilitia I don't like losing any units in Company of Heroes and tend to keep most squads alive for the duration, even if it means the game takes twice as long.
I guess that's slightly less weird than caring about little celery monsters (or whatever they are) though.
Apr 8th, 2008 04:20 PM
GADZOOKS You people never played lemmings? You learn to devalue life by the time you get to Tricky.
Apr 7th, 2008 04:10 PM
Action Ham It's depressing to get pikmin killed in the actual games.

It's really not so bad in Brawl, though. They're just stock clone pikmin that nobody seems to care about, and Olimar can replace them like that.

Chojin we already have one elpila
Apr 5th, 2008 12:34 PM
darkvare i want a new pikmin i love trhowing my pikmins to die it makes me feel like somekind of god
Apr 4th, 2008 11:10 PM
Esuohlim And don't even get me started on the Al Bhed alphabet translators in Final Fantasy 10. If you miss one you have to wait like 20 hours before you can go back and get it. I couldn't relax

bigtimecow hey willie, are we starting a trend?
Apr 4th, 2008 09:38 PM
Guitar Woman well, MP3 gives you unlockables for stuff like that, but as I don't have the obsessive compulsive disorder I never bothered keeping track in the first two games.
Apr 4th, 2008 09:31 PM
executioneer arent there BONUSES for scanning everything in that game though

like unlockables or some shit
Apr 4th, 2008 08:55 PM
Guitar Woman I hate it when people complain about Metroid Prime's scanning. You really only have to scan a few things to get through the game, the rest is just there so you can learn about the universe if you care enough.

Which I do. I especially loved the way 2 presented the little backstories, and the game's general atmosphere. Despite all the shitty additions they made from Prime 1 it's probably my favorite game in the trilogy :o

I think that's why I hated the game. It was really boring at the start but really, I hated the idea of going into every single room and scanning every single thing, most of which I didn't care about.
Apr 4th, 2008 07:20 PM
Girl Drink Drunk I also felt that way when I used player matches with my brother. I would feel all bad if one of them died.

But yeah I can't play Pikmin for very long either.
Apr 4th, 2008 06:38 PM
Pub Lover Me too! :eek

I get so frantic at the end of the day, making sure every last one is in or near an onion. I really can't stand to platy the game very long.

Pikmin

I've been playing Pikmin 2 recently. I played the first one when I was a kid and I still love the series, but...

Does anyone else get really, really anxious about this game? I never, ever want to lose Pikmin and when I lose ANY of them, I'll have the urge to go back and start. For the longest time, I think the game's been trying to teach me that it's okay that they die since they can just come back, but I walk around the whole world like it's a giant landmine.
