Well, amen to that! Me too; hell I still play BL1 on my old ps3 (although mostly for farmory runs because I deprived my self from doing them for years because I thought it was ‘cheating’ - I farm the hell out of the treasure room now because I’m not making that mistake again!)

Having taken all 6 characters to OP8 and resetting their BAR twice each, yea- I get a little OCD at times 
. In fact, I’m now doing an OP8 play thru with everyone- and still opening every box and selling weapons I don’t want for cash I don’t need. I’m a natural collector so I want at least one of everything- as far as legendary/unique/pearl gear or items there are only a few that still elude me, having just recently gotten the Pot o’ Gold: the Twister, Hide of Terramorphous, Teeth of Terramorphous and Godfinger are I think the only ones left for me, as well as the final 2 achievements that are linked to finishing all things in the Mr Torgue and Sir Hammerlock dlc’s…
This is a really great thread. I think we all suffer some sorts of OCD when it comes to games we really like. I can relate to this too for sure. Leaving missions open for various reasons is a good one. For me, it really bothers me if all my weapons aren’t up to level. Since I started over with Handsome Collection, I’ve gotten pretty good at getting rid of stuff that isn’t 72. Still, every now and then it’s kinda tough and I’ll hoard it.

I hear ya. The only item I have in my backpack that isn’t level 72 is a shock Bone of the Ancients relic that’s level 70, but has almost max stats. It frustrates the hell out of me that every level 72 shock Bone of the Ancients that I found had worse stats than a level 70 one. I actually traded my original Sheriff’s Badge for one with slightly lower stats just because the second one was level 72. The fact that the level of the relics doesn’t seem to influence the percentage of their bonus stats at all bothers me to no end.
Yea, for whatever reason, I’m not in as big a hurry to have relics and COMs at level as I am weapons, but I did the same thing the other day with a Legendary Berserker COM. It’s stats were, like, 1% lower, but I went with the 72, lol. Eventually, I do hope to have everything at 72.

OCD??
Not really in games, but in other parts of my life yeah xD
Enough said. That avg game completition rate are the newly installed games that ive started to play recently, or the games with less than 5 achievements that are pain in the ass to get. Ive got hooked up on diablo 3 again, so that completition rate will have to wait for some time. Diablo 3 is no better tho…
Only a handful of games have I ever went full fledge OCD: Dead Space, Bioshock 2, Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Borderlands 2 in regards to Jakobs equipment.
Dead Space I have beaten a told of 29 times, had all the spawns (enemy or otherwise) memorized and could word for word remember all the chats in the game. The last two times I played I went through with only telekinesis and trolled all the enemies using the invisible walls.
Bioshock 2 I have beaten 31 times on all difficulties on the console; 3/4 were using the Drill exclusively. Again had spawns and conversations memorized and whatnot. Wish it was a sandbox like the first Bioshock.
Halo was the first game I ever eagerly dived into the hardest difficulty and actually enjoyed. I have played that game so many times I have long since lost count and developed a photographic memory of the game. Years later when the Anniversary game came out I cranked it up to Legendary and had it beaten in a couple hours.
Halo 2 I screwed around and found all the skulls, the two Scarab guns, spent hours trying to find out what is in the floating box, and located a couple other Easter Eggs in the game. The orbital shot glitch was a pain in the ass to get right. Figuring out how to make a Scorpion spine like a top and bounce around blood Gulch was helluva lot of fun.
Halo 3 and the Invincible Dumpsters was fun. Turning on all the skulls and trying to beat the game; not so much.
The one thing I am consistently OCD about though is keeping my magazine full; even when I am being shot at or have only spent one bullet.
I love Bioshock 2. It has a bad reputation, but I like it even more than the first one in some ways. I got obsessed about it too, just not as much as you. I really wanna go back to it someday, though. That is, if Borderlands 2 ever gives me my life back, of course.
Interesting thread. I don’t consider myself to be OC about the game. I’m not sure playing a game you enjoy a lot necessarily equates to OCD
I’ve spent over 2800 hours in BL2 and have no idea if I’ve found all the Vault Symbols. If I grudgingly farm a gun, it’s because my character needs it to help them through the campaign. I have no interest in “collecting” weapons or having them with the best parts. In co-op, the conversation goes: Friend - “There’s a legendary skin over here, Greybeard”; Me - “And I care why?” 
BL2 is a great shooter but the thing that really gets the endorphins flowing, for me, is levelling up. I’ll do anything for that next skill point
OT - Nice to see some love for Bioshock 2. For those of us who are FPSers more than RPGers, BS2 was much more fun.

I am incredibly meticulous person, but horribly disorganized.
I’ll give you an example. If I begin reading something interesting, I must THAT VERY NIGHT complete every sub set of what I am reading, or I will not go to sleep.
In the morning, my office looks like a Dodo bird decided to make a nest of books.

I’d love to say that I at least finished this one, but it kept bugging up on me and I couldn’'t find a solution and uninstalled it for the disc space. Did you guys have problems with it at all?
I sympathise completely.
None at all. It was always very stable 
Me? OCD? Nah.
I’ll get you, my pretty “Challenge Accepted” and your little dog too!

Unless I said it already, I’ll add to my OCD…this however only effects Pre-Sequel lol… kinda weird.
OCD
#1- I have to open every ammo chest there is in the beginning area.
#2- Those flying buzzards also at the beginning, yeah I have to kill at least one of them to ease my mind. (3 chances!)
#3- First playthrough, I have to get nearly all the bonus requirements. I accept the fact, that I might not get all of them…f-cking Moxxi telling me to shoot the blue when there spinning so fast!
I have an obsession with the number 37. That means I try to have it on my equipment as much as possible. Be it mag size, cooldown rate etc… I have found several Legendary Mechromancer COMs with a cooldown rate of 38, but I have always sold those to keep the 37 percent one.

Checking all my saves around 5 times to see if i didn’t lose any items and such, sometimes more often, then checking if the savegames are still present on the HDD.
This happens everytime when I play BL1 and 2.
