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

[Peter_20]

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.

[ljkkjlcm9]

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.

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.

[KoShiatar]

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.

[oddler]

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

[Shlup]

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.

[Madame Adequate]

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).

[edczxcvbnm]

Is there any other way to play games?

[Tasura]

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.

[Rostum]

Nope.

[Markus. D]

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

[Dreddz]

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.

[Elite Lord Sigma]

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