Do you also tend to speed-play your video games?

Personally I tend to, as I like to call it, "speed-play" my games every time I play them; this particularly goes for RPG's.
Right now I'm playing Final Fantasy 10 (again :rolleyes2), and while I usually feel the need to play every major optional cutscene and talk to everyone, this time I only do "miss-able" things, like getting unique items and getting physical menu screen stuff that disappear later on (this includes the blitzer Durren as well).

It actually feels very nice.
It's just like speed-reading: you hurry through things without losing the feel for the game.

Platformers only. And FF7 too, only because I've completed it oh so many times.

If games have a timer that tell you how long you've been playing I do try to avoid wasting time unneccessarily in a game. Games with timers like that always give me the feeling that I'm going to get ranked at how fast I went though the game at the end of it. It also helps make my times look good when others ask me how fast I finished the game.

no, I take my time playing games, because I rarely have time to play a game twice, and I don't want to miss anything. If I'm not too far into a game and I missed something, I'll even restart it. Did that recently wiping 5 hours of gameplay I already had on a game.

THE JACKEL

It really depends. In most games that I've played quite a few times, it's pretty easy to speed through them, since I already know what to do and what's necessary or not. I've never really attempted a true speed run before, though.

I don't tend to speed run, even in games I've completed more than once (which are a few anyway). I like to take my time and get all the bonuses.

I've only recently started speeding through games. My first was FFVII and now I'm trying Star Ocean: The Second Story.

It depends on how much I like the game. With most RPGs I just do the minimal and stick to the main story. If I'm into the story, I'll do some more. For Neverwinter Nights I did everything.

Depends on the game. I don't often speedrun the whole thing, but I might speedrun a particular section/race/etc. (Obviously if it is a racing game, it's DESIGNED to be speed-ran).

Is there any other way to play games?

I tend to speed through a game my first time to see the story, but after that I go through it slow and try and get everything.

Nope.

I'll just play it, whatever happens happens :]

Games ive played before I usually keep a quick pace while going through but this isnt on purpose, and I generally dont go through games set on going through them as fast as possible.

I am however attempting my first speedrun with Resident Evil soon, just need to get my feng shui right before doing so.

Completionism is more accuare to what I do, unless you get something for clearing the game quickly.

I tried to speed run a game once but i couldnt help stopping to see one good scene, then another, and another, until i forgot what i was doing and played the game normally

No, I usually just end up replaying a game a lot faster than I did the first time because I know what I'm doing and I'm too lazy to do extra stuff.

Please note that I'm not talking about Speed Runs, I'm talking about being thorough AND fast at the same time. :p

For example, I always make sure to get every single treasure chest there is to get in FF10, but I also do it very quickly.

I've never really felt the need to, really. Never even bothered to try and get Excalibur II in FFIX, actually. I have raced through Sonic 2 against a friend of mine just to see who could do it the fastest, but that's about it.

Well, I take my time playing games when I play them for the first time because I want to experience everything. However, if I play a game through a second time, it depends on the game itself whether I speed-play through it or not. :p

i try to make it through games as quickly as possible on as low a level as possible with as much stuff as possible. that way it shows how good i am at the game. in those times i read everything too and never use guides. after ive beaten i go after sidequests and take my sweet time.

now when the right game strikes my intrest i speed run as well only SNES games though.

I tend to take my time with games, and enjoy everything that's been put into them.

No, not really. I really like to take my time when playing games, and get as many impressions as possible. Especially when it's RPGs like Final Fantasy.. completing a game like that can take me ages, but that's how I enjoy doing it.

I like to take my time playing games. The only time I'll rush a game is to find a save point to save because I want to stop playing~

Exploration is one of my favorite aspects in a game,so it's natural that i take my time and try to explore everything (i'm talking about RPG's,Action,Adventure games).

I tend to lose the feel for the game really easily when I just play through it, I like to really immerse myself in the world and enjoy the experience, especially the FF's with all they have to offer.
