Name a movie that desribes your playstyle

Game series: Battlefield

Movie: A mix of Kelly's Heroes, Inglorious Basterds and Catch 22

If you're playing with me, you're up for a bizarre experience straight from loony bin.

@spitfiresiemion, that seems like a perfect storm of madness alright :eahigh_file:

@Straatford87, you haven't seen Rambo, I mean... how? 0.o

Baffled regards,

Game: Alpha Protocol

Because of the lack of the movie equivalent, i will go for a TV series: Burn Notice

Reasons: a mix of stealth, gunplay and fast talk, with the gunplay kept to the minimum

Any game that has lots of sidequests, or other random stuff to do.

Hmm, can't really think of movie where the main character leaves no stone unturned. Suggestions? (not talking OCD levels here, just being very thorough).

Sherlock Holmes?

[ivrognard]

@Vellu78  ermm...no. Holmes is too focused to get distracted. Maybe Phillip Marlowe, if you still wish to use detectives for an analogy?! Or Sam Spade...? The movies would be The Big Sleep and, respectively, The Maltese Falcon. There is also Maigret, that fits that bill.

I suppose most detective stories might work, though "detecting" not necessarily the trait I was going for. Just the completionist gaming style, but as said...hard to pinpoint a movie/protagonist like that.

The Big Lebowski, man! He solved the mystery..

Well...a detective investigates. Holmes and Poirot's powers were deduction and reasoning. Spade and Marlowe would go all over the town following the clues, interrogating people and, sometimes, fighting. Maigret...well, Maigret was a very different beast. He would follow the clues, investigate, interrogate, but he would make people talk and gather his information from them, learning at the same about their personality, psychology and mannerism.

What can i say? I do love a good detective story. And by the way, i'd really recommend you to watch the recent Maigret movies, the ones with Rowan Atkinson. And yes, Mr. Bean surprised me again by making a really good Maigret, one that is near the one made by the french actor Jean Gabin. So if you have the possibility watch those TV movies.
