Your gaming weakness...

A game with possibly awesome villains or bosses, I have a habit of wanting to fight bosses who are challenging and awesome at the same time.
Games were you can "level up" or something to that effect (like upgrading weapons) always make me want to play more.
This, oh dear lord this! Also sales like Gamestop's buy 2 get 1 free. I picked out two games that looked about average, not great but not horrible, and the got the case for Soul Caliber 3 (I wanted me some character customization =p ). Turns out they didn't have Soul Caliber and asked me if I wanted another game, so I went and picked out 'Devil Kings' instead of Soul Caliber, despite that game being the only reason for me getting the other two. I left the store before I realized what had happenedponcho14 said:
Lag, Latency issues, You name it. If i get into a game without them i am a force to reckon with (9 times outta 10, i have off days) But once i get em, i range from great (not awesome) to useless (as in, i can waste a clip of any gun into someones back at point blank when they are not looking or moving and still not get a kill.)
Its frustrating as hell, but makes me better at least

.I'm not good with people, despite being a fairly successful MMORPG end game raider, I generally think my weakness is any game where I generally have to work with others. I'm surprised at times how I managed to find a group of people I more or less sync with in WoW.

OMG Me too! I can't stand it! I always want to play the evil side of a game but can't stand doing bad things to anyone. (I did blow up Megaton once though.....XD)Moodels said:

I'm also a sucker for games with lots of playable characters; hunting them all down and adding them to my increasingly-bloated party is a big attraction for me. That's one reason I liked Chrono Cross, and why I will eventually get back to Radiata Stories even though it ended up boring the crap out of me the first time I tried playing it (plus, it has the "tangible upgrades" thing going for it, too).
JRPGs. I always seem to think that they'll be the new Final Fantasy, then I go into the options screen and find out there's no Japanese language option, and 6 hours into the game I realise it's gonna suck.
Case in point, I'm sorely tempted by Star Ocean and Tales of Vesperia, even though Star Ocean doesn't have Japanese and apparently the dubbing blows, and it doesn't seem as though Tales has sold a single copy yet in my town, though that could be the completely unexplainable extra £5 they've tacked onto the accepted price of a new game.

Hovering a promising RPG in front of me is a good way to reel me in. I'm a sucker for them. Fable 2? Reeled right in. Lost Oddyssey? Got me interested. Final Fantasy 13? Hooked like a fish. (not out yet but I'm planning...) Mass Effect? Massively effective. Fallout 3?... you get the point.
On a gaming front, I have real trouble being evil. I can force myself sometimes if the incentive is really really REALLY game-breakingly good, but it doesn't feel natural.

Not entirely true. I got morrowind and a good rts called Battle realms from bargain bins without researching them beforehand. Generally they're quite good deals.Daymo said:
OT: Any game with magic, or plasmids or whatever they want to call it. I'll always play as a mage and start lobbing fireballs.
My issue is exploration. I spend forever playing games because I check every little nook and cranny. Even when I'm back tracking through an already explored area.
The only time can break this habit is during the end of a Resident Evil or Metroid game. Since they always seem to end with everything blowing up and me sprinting for my life.
