Does switching between games confuse you?

[SquirrelPants]

I started playing WoW again a few days ago, and I kept trying to look at all of my stuff by pressing tab, a habit I gained from Borderlands. :|

Switching between a few hours of Halo 3 to Left 4 Dead can be annoying sometimes...

OMG GET THE ZOMBIES OFF ME! (hits B) Why am I reloading?! >.<

Usually that happens.

After a week of playing Fallout 3, I decided to play Modern Warfare with some friends. I tried looting one of the dead bodies, and was thoroughly confused for about 15 seconds before I realized what I was doing.

Rarely, when it does it doesn't last long.

 

[crudus]

It happens to me only when I play a game then it's sequel.

Oh yeah, in Kingdom Hearts, where X is attack, and every other game under the sun where it's jump used to get me all the time.

Jump is X in Final Mix

Speaking of which I played Final Mix to death and then wanted to compare my Sora to my regular KH2 and i could barely select "Load" on the start screen

Only the whole RB vs X to reload/throw granades thing.

Happens between GoW/CoD transactions...

Nope never, I don't even go through some 30 second adjustment time. I just jump right into the game and my brain does a good job at accessing the instruction Manuel right off the bat

Fallout 3's control scheme tends to throw me off when I move to games like Call of Duty, but other than that I don't have much trouble with this.

I always had the hardest time with the Metal Gear Solid series whenever I switch games (something I do often). While a lot of games use "X" as the action button, getting back into MGS usually entails 10 minutes of, "No, 'X' cancels out of menus, 'O' opens menus."

The only other hard time I experience is with RPGs. I've done this more than I'd like to admit, but I'll play a few hours of an RPG, switch to a game I just bought or wanted to play again and by the time I get back to the RPG, I forgot everything that has happened (which more or less results in me starting over).

Yeah, I tend to get confused a bit.
One game has a sprint button where another game has the grenade button and some just don't have a sprint button at all.
I'd play something like Boarderlands or Call of Duty and then I'd play Halo or L4D, wishing I could run faster and wondering where the sprint button is.

I do get cancel/confirm confusion when switching between say my DSi and my 360 and sit there wondering why nothing is happening cos I in my head I think I have pressed A!

 

[ae86gamer]

It happened to me today. I switched between Dragon Age and Modern Warfare 2. The differences are drastic. XD

 

[Hiphophippo]

This isn't something I really have a problem with.

 

[That's Funny]

It really only happens to me when I play a game for such a long time I find it difficult to adjust to a different style of gameplay on another game.

haha i totally have trouble switching. i was playing Borderlands until i got Modern Warfare 2. So i switched to MW2 and I kept trying to throw my Bloodwing from Borderlands, and flashbangs I ended up throwing blinded me half the time, resulting in plenty of deaths......
