why do people?

[Goten-son]

If you have friends like me (and ive seen a few people on this forum myself do this) then your friends think games are a competition to beat the single player mode first. Why do people beat a game as fast as they can? If you ask me that takes A LOT of the fun out of the game so why do it? thats why I am still beating doom 3 i want my $50 to last me for at least a week lol, so why spend $50 on something your gonna play for 2 days? its useless lol just wanna know how many other people think this is just rediculous to do.

so that you can be teh person to go "Omfg you didn't beat that yet? Well I'm already at the super flashlight level!'

Generally, whoever has the most spare time wins.

If someone just bumrushed through their new game using a guide and only doing the bare essentials? I'd just laugh at them. Who the hell does that? I've never met anybody like that... but they ruin their own experience by doing so.

im still in alpha labs sector 1 becaause .... i lost a savegame O_O
because i was messing around with my datum in windows ... have to put it on december 2003 if i wanna use photoshop cs. and therefore i lost a savegame or something... dont have a clue why but i lost it

but anyway... i prefer to play a bit of ANY game everyday because personally i dont think you will see a lot of the game if you just play it a couple of hours straight and beat it. because when you play for like half an hour / hour and stop then you can think like... hmm where do i have to go to tomorrow because i need health / ammo etc. etc.

i never play to do it fast, it's just that i'm fast.
when i played dungeon keeper2 for the first time whas it easy to play to level 5 whlie when you normaly play it for the first time then you have do die sometime, i didn't :\
sometime do i just fooling around, just to make the game longer.

Its like when stores sell a game and its guide as a cheaper package deal. It just makes the whole thing pointless. Its like buying "who done it?" novels and reading the last page first.

I got a friend who did this. It's a funny story, actually, cause he does it with every game, but it gets particularly bad sometimes. He'll roll up to me and be all like, "Oh, I'm way past that part." Then in like a day he'll be like "I beat it already. Your still stuck at that part?" But when you go over his house you find walkthroughs printed out and guidebooks open on the game and stuff. So it's pretty funny.

So, this happened with Warcraft III. Our friend let him borrow it, and I was stuck on the stupid undead mission where you have to protect Kel'thuzad for a half hour. I'd had the game for a week, and I was a warcraft veteran, and he had it for TWO DAYS and told me he was already 3/4 done and near the end of the orc campaign. On the THIRD DAY, he told me he beat it. Now, I KNOW he must have cheated because he's never even played an RTS let alone a warcraft one. The closest thing was Starcraft and he cheated through that one too. About a year later, we're all gonna get together and play a lan for Warcraft 3, and he oddly doesn't want to play. While he's watching us play, he's seeing us do things like queue up buildings, set spells to autocast, healing our guys...and he's asking us how we're doing it all. He didn't recognize any of the units; when my Tauren Chieftain came out, he was like, "whoa! what is that guy?"

I looked at him awestruck. "You beat the game and you don't recognize him?"

His uber bull**** answer...

"No. I guess I must've never got that guy."

lol

I take my time and beat the game only after I have done everything there is to do. FFVII alone I had well over 150 hours of game play. The only problem with beating every aspect of a game is that I usually don't want to play it again.

 

[Tassadar]

And that is why... I cry everytime I beat a video game.

 

[Vejimaru]

I play a game and try to get everything in it. I still go back and play Ocarina of Time and FFVII (my two favorite games of all time) cause there is so much stuff (curse that fourth bottle!)

 

[Hibiki]

i think its odd most people try to beat games before other people rather then actualy playing with people

any game is a riot with a few friends doesnt matter what it is


that being said i take my time playing games cause id rather say i had fun and played it for longer and got my money out of it rather than beating it in a hour and bragging

 

[Deman]

I usually take a long time at games because I either go to complete every sidequest possible, or just feel like writing my name with bullet holes in walls and junk.

 

[Xenogias]

I beat a game when I first get it at my own pace(Cause first off im not familier with the enviornment or the feel of the game when I do get it). But if I have owned the game for some time and I feel like replaying I will beat it as fast as I can just for a slight challenge (Fast=Careless).

For example I probably could've beaten Resident Evil 2 - Leon "A" Game in less than an hour, however their were times when I speeded the game I was like "oh I forgot I had to do this first and then that". I ended up beating Resident Evil 2 in 1hr and 13mins and somewhat seconds in Leon's "A" game instead.
