When gaming, do you impose rules on yourself?

never buy a home console from the same people
1st sega megadrive
2nd sony playstation
3rd microsoft xbox
4th nintendo wii
why play franchises you missed out on and try new games rather than there sequels i have a few favourites that are all exclusive
dunno what im gonna do next gen if that rumor of a new sega console is true i might bend my rules

The 'house rules' around here are as follows:

- No cheating, unless you've been stuck for at least a week, it won't affect others, you're out of options, or you've already finished the game and may as well
- Playing as Oddjob counts as cheating. As does playing as Robofish on an all flamethrowers match on Timesplitters 2.
- Anyone caught teabagging, spamming or spawn camping with be smacked upside their head with a Guitar Hero controller.
- Use only your own memory cards/profiles, lest you delete my save data and force me to unleash some rage on you.
- Nobody is to touch any consoles actually owned by me. The 'family' consoles (Wii, PS3, 360) are fair game but touch my SNES, N64, PS2, 'cube or DS and I'll break you.
- The black G-Con 2 with the uber-pimp silver lettering is mine. Everyone else uses the crappy purple one.
- The copy of Final Fantasy 7 on my shelf is worth more than your life, so I advise you to leave it the fuck alone.
- Whining like a bitch when you get killed will result in permenant banning from all systems.
- Playing Halo in my presence is strictly prohibited.
- You cannot brag for finishing a game on Easy mode. Play it again on a real difficulty setting and stop being such a pussy.
- Use of the microphone is limited to those with brains larger than a grape.
- Either make a proper level on LittleBig Planet or switch it off, stop fuck-arsing around making Death Stars just to hit them with a giant hammer and never actually make anything.
- The Modern Warfare 2 Nuke IS fair game. If I'm pwning you so bad that I actually have the nuke, you deserve to lose.

Rule Number 1: If I lose I cut off my hands. I have NEVER lost a game of anything.

Lol of course I'm kidding, actually I'm pretty similar to the OP when it comes to RPG's and I don't use guides unless I'm on my second playthrough and I really can't work out how to obtain/beat whatever.

On Battlefield: Bad Company 2, I REFUSE to be one of those annoying snipers at the back of the map trying to pick off the very few people who venture that way and basically not help my team in anyway shape or form. I have team killed snipers who don't move and don't do anything lol.

 

[Thoob]

I don't use cheats unless I've already beaten the game.

 

[Theraima]

If the game starts fucking with me, I fuck back.

Okay okay, yeah I do have some rules.
1) NEVER cheat. Unless the game cheats.
2) Try to keep the levels even.
3) Trying not to be too ownage in multiplayer games like SSBB and Guitar Hero.
4)Only use guide if needed.

Guess that's really all. Although I sometimes do stuff like not do thing X until I reach some point in a game.

 

[Paarish]

1) I won't cheat until I complete the game at least once
2) I won't get any of the songs for the game until I've completed the game (VGM fan)
3) Buy max amount of healing items/potions whenever possible e.g. 99x Potions, 99x Phoenix Downs/15x Apple Gels, 15x Orange Gels etc.
4) I can't rename any characters until I've completed the game once

then I have some for individual games....

 

[Deleted User]

Do not cheat in a game until i complete it fully 3 times, then i can cheat

 

[Hells Malice]

I do difficulty challenges for games, which are self imposed.

Like the No Damage Challenge for the Mega Man Series.
Which was easy to do for X1,2 and 3...but impossible for 4,5,6. Easy on 7, hard on 8.

Other things like that.

 

[Empoleom]

Beat every trainer and collect every item in pokemon before the league or red
Always beat a game without cheating, but walkthroughs when is needed is needed
When it's possible always play on the portable
