Hell, I go above and beyond that. I have about a bazillion batteries in my junk drawer and a magical vegetable crisper that hasn't fall below 40 beers in months......(and office supplies).
"I'll need it later"

Final Fantasy (#1 is the only one I've ever played): What's that? 99 Health Potions? Can't spare one...may need it later.
Pokémon: I've never used a single Ether, Elixer, or Rare Candy (other than the Missingno glitch, of course), because, well, I might need them later!
Bioshock: So what if that electric goop can kill a Big Daddy without it ever getting a chance to hurt me? Dammit, I might need that stuff later!
Basically the only game in which I use anything ever, is Diablo 2, in which I drink Full Rejuvs like water. Hoarding is a horrible habit, I know, but I always do it.

I almost always think about saving my power-up in GoW because the next battle will enevitably be harder.
I usually horde for the last bosses. i remember i beat resident evil 5 with around 30 magnum rounds, at least. i killed the last boss in about 8 shots, probably less. it just seemed wasteful.
im really bad about that in rpgs too. ill run back and retreat through multiple areas to a save point before i'll use a rare item to heal up.

The CAIN was a ridiculous waste of ammunition...WestMountain said:I never used the CAIN in Mass Effect 2 because it were Overkill on anything I met so I waited for some super-boss to appear
I had like, 26 grenades for the grenade launcher. Then I switched it out for the CAIN.
Only had one fucking shot for the CAIN.
I horde stimpaks and ammo in fallout 3, but the only ammo i use is the chinese assault rifle ammo and the 308 ammo, so i put all the 10mm, shotshells, and any other weak ammo in the ammo maker in the pitt, make 1000 rounds of each, and call it good=)
The funny thing is, i was a nice guy the first time through, and i ran out of stimpaks in the mothership, but when i restarted, i was pure evil, and now i have hundreds of the dang things...

There is a solution to all this. Go out and buy any of the Ratchet and Clank games. See how long you will last with hoarding your weapons.
I still say Going Commando is the best in the series. The Mini Nuke people!

I noticed that hoarding wasn't the best strategy about 15 minutes in . . . but couldn't bring myself to use the ammo. Good thing it was on a friend's PS2 and I never bought the game, or it would've gone to waste. Nothing can break my habit.Soviet Heavy said:
I have a problem with this, but I tend to come at it from the opposite direction. See, I find a weapon I like and stick with it. I prefer honing my skills with a single tool rather than learning how to use the whole kit. I get to the point where I can deal with pretty much anything with that one weapon or tactic, and I get obsessive about only using that so that I get better with it.
Because I usually get enamored with the basic weapon/tactic/character in this way, I end up finishing most games with truckloads of everything valuable. I always liked the image of returning to base, actually:

I like to think they just point me at well-equipped enemies to replenish the armory.
I usually tend to keep the "heavy artillery" for battles I can't get past with normal shooties, once I die about 2 or 3 times then it's time to nuke the site, it's the only way to be sure. Mass Effect 2 is a good example, I never ever used the heavy guns, except when the buggers really started to piss me off.
Also, the huge Reaper in the last mission. I had a nuke launcher and when he popped up I knew exactly how to put it into good use, one shot into the eye took down 75% of its health
Well I do tend to hoard a lot in games.
In Oblivion at a point I had a constant at least 4 melee weapons; 1 one handed blunt, i one handed blade, 1 two handed blunt and of course a claymore.
In gun games I tend to hoard the best guns for when I ABSOLUTELY MUST use them, I like having an ace in the hole, especially when it has epic results

I do this a lot in Pokemon. When I'm in the Pokemon League, and I want to use a hyper potion, I'm always like what if a need it later. And if I do need it, I think what if I need it even later and need it even more!
Kudos to those who get the reference.

Damn, I hate the feeling when I notice I've beaten a game and realise I only used the basic assault rifle+pistol/equivalent for the entire game because "I was saving the sniper ammo for later" or something like that.
I always horde Potions and Ethers for the Elite Four in my Pokemon games. So what if I have to battle that gym leader 20 times? So be it!
I always do that. I never use my big expensive weapons unless I really need to, but the thing is I rarely need to. So it's mostly just a waste of my time.
Yeah, I'm a hoarder as well. I'll hold on to anything if I think I might have the slightest chance I have to use it. If it's not really that important (i.e. armor that you don't need anymore), I'll wait until I can try and "sell" it, if that option is available in the game.
