whether is its for pride, honour, or just stubborness. what are the things you never do in a game.

if i'm dying a lot and the game offers me an easy mode. I never select yes. .. well maybe once

i never start a game on anything less than the medium difficulty.

if its one-on-one game, i never request a rematch on someone i just beat. (just seems cheeky)

i never trash talk or make fun of someone i've just beaten either, no matter how much they deserve it sometimes

if its a choice between a male and female character, i never select the male character first

i never (or at least very rearly) use a game guide before i've beat a game

I never play female unless it's a gender-specific class that I want to play. It's bad for immersion.

I never go around killing everyone - I always try to be sort of nice, but pragmatic too.

I never select a male character if I've got a choice.

I never select easy difficulty to start.

I never believe the hype.

I never choose the evil\dark side in a game where I have karmic choices. Only game I ever played evil in was inFAMOUS.

Play Call of Duty Seriously

Play medium or easy difficulty first ( only if there is no achievements involved if achievements, then I have no choice :( )

Be a meanie to other players

Eat pizza and play games at same time!

Play a male character intentionally

Quit drinking Diet Sunkist ^__^

Good man. Nothing more annoying than playing with someone who has not the slightest experience with the unique aspects of the game. No trophy hunting before I've seen the ending or reach the point on which I'm too bored to continue with the campaign. Always giving a detailed, annoying lecture about sportsmanship if someone is verbally urinating on my leg because I beat him or her. Giving up in multiplayer is a no go. It's respectless to all participants. I'm never betraying my playstyle. If my favourite car is the slowest in it's class I'll drive it anyway. Same with guns, perks, toothbrushes and whatnot.

The OP pretty well covered all of mine, actually. I'll just add, like a few others, in game that do the whole good/evil thing, I never go evil. It just makes me feel like an ass. I just can't stand it.

If I'm playing a game like Doom I never continue until I've killed every enemy on the screen. Its a habit I can't shake.

I don't game online because I think it is highly overrated and overly infuriating; internet anonymity is the best way to bring out the worst in people.

I also rarely play bonus unlocked material in a game once I've beat it because at that point I am typically on to the next game.

I never played on the dark side/ evil side the first time. I always pick the most combat proficient class on my first playthrough I never quit MP matches, no matter how bad it is (except for connection issues) even if I'm left alone against a full team I try t ofight back . I don't see the achievement list the first time I'm playing through a game. I don't skip any cinematics or dialogues the first time I play a game. I never stick with one character or loadout, I try mixing up (even if I do terrible) to try everything the game has to offer

I never BS in MP. No achievement hunting, no funny antics, no nothing except playing the game with the full intention of winning...
Wish more people would do this.

Never pick a dude character if I have a choice. Never play on 'easy' mode. Never want to play a mage ... give me a gun or a sword and I'm happy. :)

I have some Never & Always:

Never take any cods players opinions on gaming, as their opinion is irrelevent

Never buy another cod game as there are always better games we should be supporting

Never play BattleField without 1st pissing on my cod disc

Always save constantly

Always use walkthroughs after 2 minutes of being lost

Always restart a race if i'm not 1st in the 1st 30 seconds

Always use sarcasm & be a comedian on Gamespot forums

I never go with anything other than the medium difficulty when I first play a game if there's an option.

If there are moral choices to be made and consequences for each choice, I never go with the evil choice. Unless I analyze the situation and realize that the good choice isn't the best choice.

I always organize my inventory and place similar items next to each other.

I never talk smack online unless I'm just kidding around with someone and they know I'm not being serious. Talking smack is pointless and only makes you look like a complete idiot.

brucecambell

sarcasm or not, I think i'd have to agree with those :lol: ..

a few additions, I also never quit a game just 'cause i'm losing, always play to the bitter miserable end

I don't think many games even give this option anymore, but if it's there, I never request an online match/game with someone with a significantly lower rank. I always accept challenges though regardless of the other persons rank.

I never pick up health packs/ammo if I can see a team mate needs it more.

I also like to clear a room of enemies before proceeding. Though some games are pretty tough and i have on occasion ran for the exit.

Yeah, I usually never revert to easy, and I never use cheats anymore. Last game I used cheats on was GTA III.

Act like a rational human being with a regard for the sacredness of life and the innocent virgin ears of the children I'm playing with.

Refrain from laughing whenever I pull of a gory, body part flying, mulitkill.

Refrain from drinking in excess when I am drinking.

Skip cutscenes on the first playthrough.

I never look at a COD player and say "hey look... a gamer"

I never play deathmatch, like literally death match without teams because that just means I am in a happy mood and wish to end my happieness.

I sometimes play on easy, I'm trying to edge myself away from that though.

I always try to find extras and hidden collectables in games, it expands my time with the game and it gives me a chance to see how clever the developers are.

I always rage on how good another team is doing in multiplayer and how crappy my team is doing, there's a reason it's called TEAM Fortress 2 people.

I never troll, but I have had many urges to do so.

I always play the demo (if available) before deciding on getting the game, don't want to waste my money and all that.

I never play on hard at the start of a game, I just want to play and enjoy the game, not get my ass handed to me.

Same here. I could never do that in World of Warcraft either. I don't like the idea that I'm fooling people (in their mind at least, lol) that I'm a female in real life. Although most people will understand it's just a game and it's to be expected. It's just not for me.

I used a female hume in FF11 as a mule to send supplies to my TaruTaru main. People liked giving my female hume free gifts. It's not like I went around pretending to be a girl, they just came up to my character and gave her stuff. I just said "thank you". Nothing to feel bad about, imo. Not that my Taru couldn't get free stuff, but he had to /dance his little feet off for them.

I never communicate with people in a game because I like to do things my way not how someone else wants me to do it.

I never play multiplayer first the story mode always comes first

I never take online seriously I have more important things in my life to take seriously then a video game

If I have the choice between good and evil I never do the good side first.

If I have the choice between a female or male character I always choose the female character unless it's a wrestling game.

In a game I can pick the evil/bad choices but I never pick any choices involving slavery. I can never play a game where you can steal stuff without stealing stuff. I'll make a wizard thief if I have to.

I never choose the good options in games with a Karma meter. They're always boring in comparison to the hilarious evil choices.

Use my items or special abilities. I don't really know why - I guess with items in RPGs (especially JRPGs) I hang onto elixers and other rare items, figuring I'll save them until the final boss, but I never need them and they always go to waste. My logic with not using special abilities makes no sense either. In Ninja Gaiden I avoid using my ninpo, for example, even when it might be more useful. It's just a weird self-imposed limitation I place on myself, I guess. No idea why.
