Completing a game, never having used the weapon you saved 'until you needed it'

The goddam expensive Mini-Nukes in fallout 3, anyone..

Yup, this, totally this.

Those things are really fun to just fire all over the place (though if you save your game you can just muck around for free) ... the only reason I don't use them more often is 'cos that fatman is sooooo heavy.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I used to do it all the time, but now I use the special items more often. I remember in Halo 2, I would go through an entire level armed with a Sniper Rifle and Rocket Launcher, and only using three sniper shots and maybe one rocket, and mainly relying on my teammates, grenades, or melee attacks...

My problem was less the rareness and the price of the mini-nukes and more the fact that it tossed the nuke, making it hard to use at far distances (which, when you remember it's blast range, was a good idea to do). That's why I like the Missle Launcher, since missles will travel in a straight line toward your enemy..

I do this alot. But sometimes it leads to situations like this.

" Alright I've died 5 times on this section..." Pulls out Rocket Launcher " I'LL KILL YOU SONS OF BITCHES!"

You avatar copycat!

Just noticed you had the same one as mine.

OT:

I barely used the Heavy Weapons in Mass Effect 2 unless I met a big hoard of enemies(those fucking Husks from the derilect Reaper) or a large enemy like the Heavy Mech or the Derilect Reaper's core thingy.

 

[SimuLord]

Taking Wild Wasteland and getting the Alien Blaster in New Vegas gives you a super-weapon to fight Lanius with...except it's real easy to forget to bring it along.

Woah woah woah. Who came here first? Pfft...rookies.

 

[ExaltedK9]

I tend do this a lot. In Mass Effect 2 I barely used the special weapons. Whenever I did use them I felt like I was breaking some sort of personal rule lol.

Same. I hated that about Mass Effect 2. Luckily one bullet from the Blackstorm goes a long way .

Never touched the medigel either, now that I think about it.

Well, I almost never use the fatman, but there was a great scene today where I wasn't "in the mood" to use vats again, or waste time with guns that shoot bullets, so I just lobbed a nuke at the last Super Mutant in the place.

Well, the crossbow in HL2. And the rocket launchers of anything.

The Magnum from Resi 4- Even if I had 2 boxes of ammo left over at the end.

 

[Avatar Roku]

I get really weird in that way with the Magnum from Half Life 2. I mean, I have bizarrly specific rituals with it (i.e, I use it for this one particular part but no others), but that's it, I hoard its ammo otherwise.

 

[Veylon]

I also seem to have a pile of items (Elixirs, Throwing Weapons, Stat Boosters, etc.) at the end of every RPG. I just don't like using anything I can't immediately get another of.

Mass Effect 2 was one of my worst I think I used the arc projector twice through out the whole thing. Fallout was another bad one, I had so much ammo by the end.

 

[Neverhoodian]

I beat the final boss in Return to Castle Wolfenstein using pretty much just the starter guns. I had full ammo for most of them, so I just circle strafed and held the fire button down until he died.

 

[The Diseased Toe]

Haha! I'm saving the fat man on Fallout 3 at the moment.
I've only used it once, but I don't want to use it again. I reckon I'll end up finishing the game having not used it again^^

 

[teqrevisited]

In Tomb Raider I used to stockpile absurd amounts of ammo for all of the guns and use only the pistols for 90% of the game because I might need the bigger guns later on. Example, on TR2 I don't start using different guns until Floating Islands just incase Bartoli dies too far away to pull out the dagger in time in Dragon's Lair.

I invariably end up with thousands of un-used rounds for guns that probably would've made it alot easier to finish.
