For one, if a game has a steam version, I will PLAY the steam version. Because of this, I have a copy of Dawn of War, Far Cry, Ghost Recon and Tom Clancy`s Endwar, just sitting in their cases.
Secondly, I have a poor habit of either getting 30% into a game, 70% into it, or completing it entirely. I somehow don`t get many different completion percentages than that.
On top of those, I often buy games only to play them for 20-ish hours and never touch them again. I can`t help it. Prime examples as of right now would be: ARMA III, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Star Wars Battlefront II, Rust and a few others.

I'm trying to work on a few.
Using guides
And I mean for anything weather it be item locations to smaller things like easter eggs.
Guides were and still kinda are a grey area for me. When I was younger I used them a lot to make sure I could complete the games without any sort of hiccups along the way, then I started to rely on them less just for item locations and quests, and now I only rely on them after I been stuck on a game for about 1 day or more which seems more reasonable than using them for everything. Reason for this is because for me at least it ruins the game experience. Without a doubt they are useful, but what's the point in playing a game if you're listening to someone else the entire time?
Last game I used a guide for was Dragon Quest II which is an early console RPG and early console RPGs are known for being very very vague on were to go next, and since I'm playing the series in order I think I'll be using guides for the next few months D:
Fast traveling
This one is kinda awkward because at first I didn't like fast-traveling at least not in western or level-adjusted RPGs as opposed to a game like Final Fantasy X where backtracking is not recommended at all. Then I just became lazy and started fast-traveling for everything defeats the purpose in most games that have fast traveling because odds are if they do have this feature it's an open-world game and one of the selling points in them is exploring.
I also need to stop breaking off from the group in tactical FPSes like Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 and the Operation Flashpoint games. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Not very fun losing making your friends restart the map, bad damn does it feel good when you do it.
I'm sorry ;_;
What are yours?
