Finishing The Game
Pattinson is well-known for never finishing a game. This trait was first noticed when he played the Xbox version of Fallout 4. He would often leave the game unfinished due to time constraints. The game’s completion time was listed as 4 hours and 49 minutes, which is a pretty long time for someone who just started playing! This eventually led to him purchasing the Xbox version of the game in order to get it finished. Once he did, he didn’t look back. He also has a history of not finishing video games, as he did with Grand Theft Auto V, where he would get an hour, twenty-four minutes into the game before quiting because he wasn’t having any fun anymore. He has mentioned that he doesn’t play video games much anymore because of this issue. He also mentioned that he isn’t much of a fan of most video games, anyway, explaining that it’s not the gameplay that interests him, but rather the stories within the games.
Aside from video games, Pattinson doesn’t have many other hobbies. He enjoys going on walks, reading, and traveling. He also has an affinity for sneakers, which he has been seen wearing on multiple occasions. He is also a big supporter of the Democratic Party and was seen at the 2004 and 2008 Democratic National Conventions as well as the 2012 Democratic National Convention. He has stated that he believes there’s more that unites people than separates them and likes to engage with fans on social media sites like Twitter.
