- Rob identifies 7 pointless habits no gamer can resist. Do you have any of these weird gaming habits? Can you think of any we’ve missed? Let us know in the comments.
It’s very easy to slip into pointless habits when playing games. The way we can’t progress in a level until we’ve smashed every gaming crate, or the way we try to explore every bit of the map before progressing the story. Maybe you don’t have all these bad gaming habits, but you’ve probably kept hold of pointless items in the past, or accidentally wasted a powerful weapon by not using it. And a special shout out to people who always save their games twice. We see you!
And if you’re just joining us: yes, Rob’s Friday Features are back. Catch up on recent episodes here….

A new Friday Feature? This is becoming a habit.
Have you caught our recent Friday Features? Here's another on impossible minigames: czcams.com/video/IiLfUqE-tEo/video.html
Glad to see them back!
Thought this was the Tuesday checklist
Yes!!!! Glad to see the return of a classic ❤
Yes!!!! I love Friday features 🎮❤
Friday Features with Rob is main reason I watch this channel. Odd times I watch an event series like the Christmas Maze or Metal Gear
Game: *autosaves*
Me: "Cool, now let me just manual save over that."
This is actually a good habit (although save in a different slot). One of the things I discovered when beta-testing DAI was that 2 autosaves in a row will often both try to load, and if the game crashes, the autosave will bug (this is especially so when you're doing a "judgement" at Skyhold). This was never fixed. As a result, I now save manually and also delete the autosave so this cannot happen.
Well, some games only have a single autosave slot. And if you have multiple game files going on, you can lose progress if you don't have regular manual saves on a file.
Yep me too
It is an article of faith in my household that auto saves aren't real
Can’t be too safe with saves 😂
old "habits" die hard...watching THIS friday feature format every week is a habit i will never kick
same
Yep. I was in a withdrawal when it changed or just straight up not being made. Glad they continued with the Friday Features. All is right with the world again
I've missed the Friday feature. I'm so glad you've brought these back.
One of my habits is watching these Friday Features on a loop for about ten years now! Good to see them back guys!
How DARE Delsin call Rob an "Imaginary animal".
YEAH! I'm 93% certain Rob is real!
When I’m done with a game, if there’s a hub/base/home/village that the main character can go to, I take them home and save the game there.
Damn this is me in Genshin. When I'm done I always fly back to Qingyun Peak and make the trek up to the Adepti Abode, sit on the stone bench and save there. I don't know why, just feels like home to me I guess.
“Have you had any romantic feeling for a box?”
* flash back to Portal 1, the weighted companion cube *
I named her 'Megan'. But was forced to mercilessly toss her into the incinerator. I'm a monster, and the guilt of that moment haunts me to this day... Thanks GLaDoS!
Wait... the Friday feature is back??
Yeah- it's been back for a few weeks 🙂
Yes sir, they are BACK, been back for around a month now :)
What a nostalgic day, it’s been a while. I always follow this, ah and mgs tally.
Been back since Ash left…
I just found out and i am happy about it i used to watch every Friday episode until they changed it was not good anymore
I actually restarted Witcher 3 very quickly into my first playthrough after my companion scolded me for killing a monster for free. I'm one of those "kindness over all" players and I hadn't played the first two games and wasn't aware of Geralt's absolute mercenary mindset, so I started over and stayed in character by demanding money for every monster slain. After a few hours of being verbally abused by every passing NPC I got over my guilt pretty easily.
As a fellow double saver I feel strangely validated. So stoked for the return of the Friday feature. Dave’s tally boards might be one of the best running jokes with no dialogue on the channel.
Break all the things, hoard useless items, never use good items, determine where the goal is and go the other direction, talk to everyone along the way and reluctantly be the good guy… for trophies. Damn that eighth habit; trophy hunting
In a lot of games the junk you get from box smashing is actually... generic currency that you can stack huge piles of. So yeah you don't really fill up on that.
Double jumping every single time I jump whether it is required or not.
We could also add jumping around instead of walking if the game lets you. Especially in MMOs and stuff.
Better to be safe and make the jump than miss it and lose health or a life. Right?
I mean, you gotta make sure you get up the ledge! :D
Conversations between Aloy and Erend are always worth listening to.
These Friday Features coming back is what I really needed in life right now
Yup, ALL of the above.
I personally also have the really bad habit of never using my healing items in JRPGs, I will play any Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, Breath of Fire, Kingdom Hearts, etc., and never use a Potion, Ether, Elixir, or Phoenix Down, because I might need it later for the final boss and even then, end up not using it because you never know.
Well, you might need them in Hard Mode! Even though Hard Mode won't let you use items...
Hitting Square. Reloading after even just a single shot fired in pretty much any game with guns has begun so baked into my muscle memory that it infects other games. I've tried to reload my lightsabre in Jedi Survivor more times than I care to admit and it's cost me dearly in Helldivers because when you reload, you don't just replace the rounds you've used. Oh no, you bin the rest of the mag. (tldr, reloading)
Bloody hell, this touched a nerve! I have come to realise, I’m a chronic inventory organiser. All of my inventories are organised by element, weapon type or strength, health or some other random categories I place on myself. My No Man’s Sky inventory is a thing of beauty 😂
In many games wiht multiple charaacters I have a flexible system that works... but I never do it exactly the same way twice.
Some people let the game choose where their looted/crafted items go. I've peeked at their inventories a few times, and it's terrifying. What kind of psychopath mixes their potions?!
0:43 hey let’s go the board still here
I love how consistent they are with this bit
"We could really use a Megalixir now."
"What? Those are full party heals I'm not just going to waste them!"
"This is the final boss. And you have 16!"
What if I use all 16 Megalixirs and there's a secret final boss? 😂
Yeah! I ONLY have 16! Now if I had 50, maybe I could spare one or two...
Not quite boxes, but whenever I visit Costa Del Sol, Cloud will be smashing all the tables and chairs...while passers-by call him a "God on Wheels" 😂😂
It's just so satisfying
A habit I have is hoarding all level up resources until like halfway through, and then using them all once I get to a point where it gets too hard for me to continue. Totally new game at that point
Listening to every single line of a conversation NPCs are having in the background. Or, alternatively, taking in every single minute of an in-universe TV show/movie/radio broadcast or whatever else. Did I need to stand still in an imaginary theater in Alan Wake 2 and watch every single scene of a fake short film? No, I didn't. Did I, in fact, stand still in an imaginary theater in Alan Wake 2 and watch every single scene of a fake short film? Yes, I did.
The saving the starting gear in an rpg hit so home😂 i played through all of FF7 rebirth with clouds buster sword, only changing it when i got a new weapon to get that ability and then go back to the buster sword
I also spread my save files over many slots as I always expect corruption of save files. It rarely ever happened to me but when it did I was glad that I had at least one other file to fall back to.
I'm already starting to sound like a broken record, but another fantastic Friday Feature. You're absolutely smashing it with the return of these - relatable, humorous, and tremendous use of subtle, clever and obvious laughs. This woven in with the skits, tallyboards, "imaginary friends"...ah...chef's kiss.
Underrated comment. Couldn’t agree more. Stoked on its return. Now do we dare hold out hope for the return of One on Onesie.
@@MrFreeth26 Thanks, Mr Freeth. Personally, I'm just grateful for the Friday Features, and I think it would be a bit too bold to wish for One on Onesie as well. To me, that - and Access Granted more generally - was more a Nath and Dave thing, and with Nath no longer a permanent on-camera member, I just enjoy his cameos when and if they arrive.
You know Rob smashed his GCSE English. His use of language is fantastic
The bit about insisting on manually double-saving caused me to have an epiphany: I think my trust issues as an adult all stem from playing Fallout New Vegas on PS3 as a kid, and never having any idea whether checkpoints or autosaves would work, not work, or just cause the system to crash for the lolz.
I 100% agree on all of them. It's basicaly me playing. Another habit is, replaying the tutorials, even if I knew all the stuff already, just to have the strange impression I would learn a 'secret' trick/hint/tipp or even mechanic, I didn't know before, though I maybe even finished the game once. Nice video !😂😂
Can I just acknowledge that these new videos have been brilliant. They were great already, but it feels like there's all this new energy and creativity and its really bloody fab to see!
One habit that I have is the uncontrollable desire to pick up everything that isn't nailed down or on fire.For crafting purposes, you see.
hello, you've caught me now getting used to this Friday Features again and looking forward to it each Friday morning now!
I often make it a point to 100% explore the map. Especially when you get rewarded for it like FF16s 'Here Be Rosfields' trophy.
6:30 This reminds me of how much it hurt my soul when Dave started selling old early weapons/equipment in his FFVII stream. It was like breaking some unspoken law of gaming. Dave, how could you.
Fridays are the best day of the week now. loving Rosie as the Knight "help" 🤣
I can pinpoint my need to explore every inch of a map before continuing to Star Ocean: Til the End of Time, which gave you a percentage on screen of how much of the map was explored.
And saving twice takes me back to the days of memory cards, and when auto-saves werent a thing. “I’ll save on this card…better save to second card in case the first gets corrupted or is otherwise messed up”
Rob is absolutely smashing these Friday features! Honestly, he could talk about ‘Best Video Game Poop’ and i’d eagerly sit and listen to every word 😄👏🏻
My save trauma came about when playing kingdom hearts 1 . Was in hollow bastion , had only one save file, went to save and while i was saving , lost power along with my save data 😭 had to redo everything
No one will ever tell me a good reason that Link should not destroy every pot, box, blade of grass, chus. The last ones particularly fun in Majora's Mask as Goron Link with spikes.
The double save thing got me! 😂 I do it without even thinking now, because I've done it for so long!😂
One of mine is in open world games where for some unknown reason, when I finish playing, like in Skyrim, I have to go home and sit by the fire.
Any game with levelling (FF, Pokemon, nino kuni etc), everyone must be levelled by a specific amount every new area before i can leave it.
Rob, his wife and a… box???
Not the love triangle I was expecting. 😂😅
Right! Rob’s having an affair with LBOX.
@@princegrooveDon't google "LBOX" on a shared computer or in polite company.
Really, MGS fan that he is, seems only natural!
Honestly, I have been enjoying the Friday features recently. They're as perfect as the peak days, and I'm absolutely loving it. Keep up the good work, guys. For the rest of the channels trying to become as good as PlayStation Access, I have some wisdom to offer. GIT GUD!
"...cult members to cult embers..." 🤣 Well played, sir! Well played.
I love the Friday feature with Rob! Thanks for bringing it back!
another great video Rob, really thank you Ive missed your Friday Features a lot
I have really missed watching Rob deliver these lists weekly! Always amazing to see the crew having fun. Robs degree in English really shows and he is always so poetic and precise with his words. Love it! Keep it up guys!
This one thing brings me back to this account with a pure love based fury! The Friday Feature!!!!!!!
Mainly because I’m simple af, love lists, and absolutely love Rob (and Delsin). Thank you!!!!!!!
I love that Robb is doing the Friday features again! It just hits in that nostalgia nerve. Also Rosie was amazing in this one! Also I love the new Baldur’s Gate 3 tally! I love the channel so much and have never commented but I had to shout out Rosie on this video. Thank you for all the entertainment over the years, you all are awesome!
Nice to see these back, signals the start of the weekend
So glad to have Rob's "7 Things..." videos back!
I could cry, I'm so happy this format is back! Now I can resume my habit of watching it at dinner time.
Yooo Friday Feature
For me it’s especially Sora’s keyblade and Cloud’s buster sword. They’re just too iconic to switch out
Bonus points to a game if you can disguise one weapon as another.
Keep up the good work Rob and team. I know it's not easy to keep coming up with ideas for Friday
Been really enjoying the return of friday features.
Keep em coming Rob, loving the Friday features 🎉🎉🎉
The Friday Features are SO well written, SO artfully crafted, SO magnificently executed. They always make me laugh, regardless of what else is going on in my life. It is impossible to overstate how that "Hello, you've caught me..." immediately lifts my mood. I can't help but smile, knowing that I'm in for a treat. If we measure art by how it evokes emotions, soothes us and helps us go on with our lives, then these are genuinely an art form.
Those Shinra crates, though... They know what's coming...
Yeah, I spend a good 5-10 minutes destroying every crate in that sequence as barret in FFVII remake
In FF16 there hasn’t been one request I had Clive turn down.
I don’t even try out of curiosity to see what happens if he says “No!”
Lovely to see Friday Features again! ^_^ ❤
(Sometimes I like to binge them when I'm not feeling well 🙂 )
My worst habit is hoarding all the items I can find for when it MIGHT be useful. Needless to say, they never get used. 😂😂😂
completely on your side. can't resist smashing crates, can't stop saving more than once (in fallout 4 I save three times when I close the game and twice every other time I save), talking to every companion if something happened in the game.....but I rarely if ever refuse a quest reward. But I'm neutral good to neutral evil irl too.
Another habbit I'm happy never to quit: watching friday features. Really happy to have you back Rob.
Thank you for bringing back Friday feature.
It was missed, and always loved.
I still love all your other stuff, but any day Delsin shows up is a good day.
Enjoyed this, Rob! I could relate to double saving (because you don't trust the auto save to do the job), hoarding the items/weapons and catching up with every companion. I felt like it was a target to get to 99 of all items in FF7 and collect the max of each spell in FF8, for example.
0:48 YEY!!! Delsin Rodent back
1:52
I remember the dead end room in Bloodborne filled with jars, and your instinct is to immediately smash them all to bits hoping to see what’s inside, since it’s a FromSoft game. The problem is they are all empty.
i always look forward to Rob's videos! Love the british fairy-tale narrative delivery!
So happy these are back!!!
Dear @PlayStationAccess. Thank you for almost doing me in with this video. Fortunately, the bite of sandwich I inhaled whist reading 'Crate Expectations' eventually dislodged itself. But not until after much violence and choking laughter. Continue doing the Good Work.
(Seriously, give that editor a raise).
So glad the Friday Features are back 👍
Fridays are good again ❤
(Voice of David Attenborough) amd here we see the wild and majestic Rob Pearson calling out every gamer on their pointless gaming habits
I'm guilty of 6 of the ones on this list as well as the habit over watching Friday features I'm glad these are back
Getting greedy when you’ve just nearly defeated a boss instead of doing what has been working during that attempt.
The good ol' "Only two more hits and the boss is done for I can do this without wasting the heal"
Famous last words before the rage quit.
i never get tired of watching the Friday features. keep it up Rob
Omggggg, Friday features are back! My subscription will too then!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love these videos! Thanks for the great content as always! 👾
Love these videos so glad they are back
Good to have you back Rob, I love going on about ridge racer, any version really but RidgeRacers 2 on the PSP was ace and when it came out on PS5 I was so happy but no trophies or online was like being told off and not allowed to play with my friends 😂
not only friday features are back, they are also getting increasingly better! love it
Watching these every Friday is something ill never tire of. One ill never break is in rpgs specifically going through every drawer or whatever to find items in them. Picked up the habit in Golden Sun on the GBA since there are items hidden in pots and crates and ever since if i can search places like that its like a reflex now. There might be an item that ill never use in them 😂
So glad these are back!!
0:42 i love the board cut away
The box one is so true! 🤣 I think the OG Ratchet games are what initially built this habit up for me...
Genuinely laugh out loud funny. So well presented. Thanks 🙂
Check for fall damage, check if you can swim, check friendly fire
Guys, we are so back! Friday features like this is why I subscribed to the channel. Keep it up Rob, and Delsin Rodent
I'm going to watch you more, this was great haha. So, on point with my habits too.
I just want to show some love to the great behind-the-scenes crew as well as give props to Rosie for all her amusingly adorably entertaining contributions!
Especially considering how the OG trio has proven time and again they are at the level of professional entertainers.
Here's one habit for any smokers out there when ur playing an rpg after every battle we take a small smoke break before the next battle or even when u are on the menu prepping ur characters for a big fight we may take a smoke break during that.
I'm guilty of most of these especially the save one, the sage words of "save early, save often" have never left my mind (thanks dad), also I like to talk to the video game characters by praising them or just saying "get out of my way" lol
Ah the friday feature! My go to comfort video, so glad to see them back!
As an "older" gamer.. I am, and have always been guilty of every single one of these "habits". They have, as you said become safety nets of pure goodness and have never let me down. Now to save again in case I didn't already.
Absolutely brillant Rob!! 💯
I have the problem of trying to collect every stud possible in the Lego games when I already have more than I would ever possibly need.
This was great. Usually there's one or two entries in the Friday Feature that don't always apply to me, but I'm guilty of all 7 of these and probably a few more, like reloading a weapon even if I've only fired one round.
Love the video, love the games in the video, love the access team
I just love the friday feature videos 😂 And yes, I also struggle with all seven habits 😅👍
