    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.

    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.

    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.
