Have you ever beaten a game (or gotten very far in it) without knowing a key mechanic?I got halfway through my High Elf campaign in TW2 before i found out you can give commands while the game is paused.
>>749491175Why did he do it?
I finished Golden Sun without really knowing how djinns work. I mixed and matched them and I didn't realize until near the end that they were color coded by character.
>>749491241Probably for the same reason people spin their weiners.
>>749491175>woman if she turned into a man for the day
>>749491175What games does he play?
>>749491313who the fuck does this
>>749491175I remember playing the original Final Fantasy on the NES pretty far until realizing that weapons/armor needed to be EQUIPPED. Made the game a whole lot less of a bitch after discovering this.
>>749491175You can issue commands while paused in The Witcher 2????
>>749491175>TW2Tiny Wiener 2
I honestly didn't know that you could run in Shenmue until I reached the homeless kungfu guy.
I gave TM's to pokemon as held items because i didnt know you should use "use" to teach the move. I eventually figured it out, English wasn't my native language.
I beat Riviera without knowing you could switch positions in battle.Elden Ring was my first Fromsoft game and I made it to the evil red area without ascending my weapon or whatever.First time I played Earthbound I hadn't played a JRPG before so I got to Summers with just basic attacking, no items or PSI powers.
Not quite finish it, but I was one of those who got all the way to monsoon without knowing how to parry in MGR:R
>>749491175I got to the last part of Mass Effect without realizing there were stores
>>749491406Speaking of Witcher I played about half of Witcher 3 before realizing the potions replenish on mediation.In the tutorial it took a lot of resources to make the basic healing potion so I simply refused to use it until something really difficult came along. Turns out it was expensive because that was the upfront cost and Geralt is very proficient in homeopathy.
>>749491175Beat M&L:SS without knowing about advance bros moves
>>749491175Wtf you can give commands while paused? Never ever knew
>>749491383>he can't do it because he's too smallHOHOHOHOHO
>>749491175Beat the entire RE6 campaign without realizing there was a quick recovery action you could do after getting shot.
>>749491175FFXi legitimately did not know I was doing. I didnt use the sphere system at all becauss it was confusing. I managed to trudge myself all the way to the boss fight after you beat your catman party member
>>749491718If that's the biggest drawback of being a grower rather than shower then I don't get the issue.
>>749491175In CT I thought you needed to be at the End of Time to swap party members
>>749491563My buddy made it to the helicopter fight without understanding zandatsu.
>>749491175I was halfway through my second playthrough of Ar Tonelico 1 when I understood how the combat system worked.
>>749491175I got 90% through Control Resonant before realizing there was a task board system (you have to talk to some random guy outside the Field Office before they turn on)Honestly made the game bettter
>>749492958Don't you need to use it to defeat blade wolf? Or did he think it was just a QTE?I need to replay that game.
>>749491563Same here man, I was just running around the arena going in for potshots for fights up until that point.
>>749491175I recently got pretty far into Blade of darkness: Severance on controller until I got btfo'd by a boss.Not knowing you can apparently not execute many combos that way as you need to input several opposite directions for stronger moves.alternativelyEvery time I replayed darksouls 2 I forgot powerstancing was a thing until I was almost done lol
>>749491595>Speaking of Witcher I played about half of Witcher 3 before realizing the potions replenish on mediation.Literally same
>>749493132He thought it was a QTE I think, but it's also possible he just missed every prompt and eventually won via raw damage
>>749491175Now he's just showing off
>>749491718Walking around with a big dick hard-on is uncomfortable. I can sort of kind of in an abstract way but not really understand where women with big tits who complain about back pain come from.>>749493132IIRC Blade Wolf doesn't /require/ parrying to defeat but that's the last boss you could get by without learning the mechanic.
>>749493361nah, this is showing off
>>749491175sprinting in skyrim even though the trailers and promotional shit showcased it.Just learned about changing out unit passive abilities in Fire Emblem FW after 40 hours playing
>>749491175I beat Breath of the Wild without ever figuring out how to shield surf.
I beat Metal Gear Rising on Hard mode my first time through without knowing how to parry. It's very silly in retrospect, but I remember the game says to push the control stick "in the direction of the attack." I took that to mean if the enemy was swinging their right hand (Raiden's left), then I needed to push left to parry. It didn't work so I just stopped bothering and used Defensive Offense through the whole game.
>>749493428I beat him without parry too but I meant the zandatsu for finishing him.>>749493524How did you get that far? I spent like an hour running around and using all my items and was not able to beat monsoon until I learned to parry, and I still struggled because it didn't click until near the end.
>>749491175I beat most of Kiwami 2 without upgrading any of my abilities in the skill tree and without being aware that visiting restaurants gives you XP and that you can buy the medicine that flushes your gut instantaneously so you can keep eating.
>>749493467confidence
>>749493643Like I said, Defensive Offense. It took a lot of close timing and I spent a few more hours than I should have beating the game overall. Subsequent playthroughs on harder difficulties were actually a lot easier because I realized how to parry but could already beat the game just by dodging.
>>749491175I never learned how the combat in Batman Asylum worked. I just brute forced my way through the game until the final boss where that didn't work and you had to do the combat properly.Witcher 3 mutagens, didn't know how they worked until I beat the game. When I replayed the game again later is was way easier once I used mutagens.
>>749491383
>>749491241Cute
>>749491175>PRÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖ!!!In Ratchet and Clank Future tools of destruction I didn't know that you could lock-onto enemies and strafe. I thought you had to manually aim every weapon and move the camera to look at enemies manually. It made dodging a pain too. I only found out early in newgame+ in the area where I was probably supposed to find out the first time. I remember thinking "ahh that's why the game seemed pretty difficult".
>>749491383Beowulf, my king!
elephant titties
>>749491563I kind of knew how to before, but that fight makes sure you're proficient with it.
>>749491563Likewise, I bounced off the game a couple times because of that but then it clicked when I fought him and now it's my favourite game
>>749493051Fuck, I had no idea this was a thing...
I think I got all the way through Fallout 3 without knowing the bracket hacking thing.In my defense it's never explained in-game, you have to look at the pdf manual to learn it - or just experiment in the game itself.
>>749493503thats not very important desu
>>749491718Fuck you!t. blood team
>>749491241party rockin
Got pretty far in Demon's Souls without knowing how to level up, and after that got pretty far again without knowing how to buy grass.
Ace combat 8,Holding triangle lets you focus and follow the selected target. Beaten it on Expert before I noticed.
>>749491175Is it animal abuse if we inject baby elephants with special hormones that force them to never grow up so they can stay as babies forever and then be sold as pets?
>>749491175First time I played Doom 2016 on nightmare difficulty I didnt realise that one of those grenades can heal you.In Doom Eternal, I for some reason assumed that grenades share cooldowns so you can either pick a frag or a frost one. Half way into the game I realised I can drop them one after another.I dont watch gameplay or playthroughs and I almost never look at guides so shit like this happens to me fairly often. Its almost like an accidental extra challenge.
>>749491175My first playthrough of FFVII, I hardly understood the materia system and the effects of certain combinations (and whether they're on Weapon or Armor) and didn't really pay any attention to mastery of materias. Mostly just unga bunga'd my way through the game, which was fine for an 8 year old
>>749491175I think we leave alone animals who are intelligent enough to show clear signs of actual play. Not just messing around with a toy that's triggering their hunting instincts either. Like this little guy is obviously having a fun time just for the sake of it.Anyway, I beat Fire Emblem Three Houses without fully understanding the mechanics of fighting the giant enemies.
Kingdome come deliverance 1 on hardcore mode. I deliberitaly stayed away from the parry move because i knew it'd trivialize combat
>>749491175Bloodborne without parry, seemed gay so I didn't bother learning it.
>>749491241If I had a big trunk like that, I would do it too
>>749491175I beat Nioh 2 thinking the yokai cores were just a stat stick. It was a fucking nightmare but I thought that was a normal experience for someone bad at the game.
I coasted to Dragon Roost Island in Wind Waker because I didn't realize the sail had to be equipped.
>>749500689I played nioh 2 up to some bullshit difficulty level where you were just upgrading green gear into +whatever. Seeing some gameplay footage of a endgame character playing it like it's ninja gaiden made me think I completely missed a lot of moves. Using a katana was just spamming the same handful of moves while moving around slowly.
>>749499956Just start selectively breeding for smaller and smaller elephants, eventually we will have something like this pic again.
>>749500881Some of the skils do drop from enemies so it's possible. I think I famed that yellow spear man on the bridge a few dozen times until he finally gave me triple threat on my spear
>Rad RacerDidn't know you can press up to speed up even further>FF8I guess it doesn't really count, but I almost beat the game entirely by using summons instead of doing anything else, but you cannot beat the final boss this way so I stopped there. I was too lazy to play in any other way, if it works it works.
>>749491175Beaten Crimson Desert twice, before i learnt how to use focus mode melee attack. On Kliff it's kinda weak attack anyways.
Hey! I can do that too
>>749500902JRHNBR elephants....
>>749500627Same. Kirkhammer and Ludwig's Holy Blade had me running around two-handed so I never figured out the parry.
>>749499956There used to be dog-sized elephants. It happened because they evolved to live on islands
>>749491175Apparently you can customize wands in Noita.
>>749493476Same. I didn’t really watch any promotional materials and because previous Elder Scrolls games didn’t have spriting either, I just had no reason to assume that it existed as a feature
>>749491175Demon/dark souls without parrying because I never used a shield and forgot about it
>>749491595Fuck I had the same experience
>>749499956I mean, look at the genetically fucked up dogs and cats we breed without a second thought to their health and welfare from the breeders nor the general public.
>>749493524>I beat Metal Gear Rising on Hard mode my first time through without knowing how to parry>I just stopped bothering and used Defensive Offense through the whole gameThis too was my experience but on normal
>>749502868What's wrong with that rope? Why's it so absorbent?
>>749491175I probably did that a lot as a kid, especially before I learned English.
>>749491175PRÖÖÖH :DDDDD
>>749491862>Beat all campaigns in co-op>This post is the first time I realize there's a mechanic like this>>749495435>beat FO3, FO4 and NV>never even heard of bracket hacking until this post, just F5 F9 every terminalI'm starting to realize I might be retarded

>>749503369did that cat die
>>749502732what the fuck is that
I didn't realize you could give Emerl custom moves and that giving him Gamma's idle animation let him self destruct on death in Sonic Battle. I played through the whole story with him just being a nerfed version of Sonic.

>>749502732Oh I HATE this.
>>749503484no he loaded a previous save
I played through all of E33 without realizing that characters could learn the card powers (or whatever they are called). I thought loadout mattered a lot and I was just bad. Only having one character that can hit beyond 10k in the endgame content was a bitch.
>>749491241To test the limits of his ability.

>>749503832Jesus that sounds miserable
It took me like 20 years to realise that tekken had a neutral guard system.
>>749491175>tfw can't spin it but can only do the lightswitch
>>749503369The hacking in those games are so fucking dumb. It's typical Bethesda low effort.When I first played F3 I thought that you only got one shot at hacking so I really thought about my choices and options. I didn't even consider the possibility that you could just exit the hacking when you had one guess left, immediately start hacking again and have all your guesses back. If there's no drawback to trying again and again then what's the point? It's not even as if you're spending time doing it, the game freezes while you hack. The fact that they didn't change anything about it in F4 just shows how little they care. "Good enough" seems to be their goal.
>>749492804...you don't?

>>749502732not my proudest fap
>>749502865The people who think the malformed dogs and cats are "cute" are so weird. I see a pug or one of those cats with a squished face and breathing problems and I just think "that poor thing"
>>749502732Holy fuck, I wouldn’t go near that shit without a proper hazmat suit, and even then I’d need a big fat payment. Imagine going there in rubber boots and thinking that it’s harmless, but then you fall down by stepping on a slippery spot or a hole and you’re face first in that leech hell
>>749505340
>>749491175I finished Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon without ever realizing you could use heals in quick slots. I was quite miserable for a while there.

>>749505020Just press Y bro, just be in the overworld or a save point. I think there's also a menu option to swap characters too.
>played Demon's Souls>only ever played a Guts run, never touched shields>played Dark Souls>start with a sword and shield>try to parry a few times>the animation timing is so weird that I assume it's bugged and never touch it>go through the whole game only blocking before switching to a two handed weapon>get stonewalled by Gwyn before learning that parries actually aren't bugged and then use them to turn the fight into a total jokeParrying in all of the games bar Sekiro never feels right to me.
I have a really big fucking cock, 27cm long. Once I did this shit and my cock fucking pop'd. It felt so fucking weird and since that day, the base of my cock feels weird when a woman sits on it.

Never grasped Xenoblade Chronicles gem crafting.Not that I tried more than an initial glance, it looked boring.
>>749491175Rome Total war a dozen campaigns without knowing you can merge depleted units. Idek
>>749507074I forgot this mechanic existed completely, I never understood it either. I just smashed stuff together until it gave me attack up.
>>749507074TO ME!
>>749491175I had no idea about the health and stamina upgrades in Shadow of the Colossus, beat the game without a single one.
>>749507074More like the entire accuracy system>monster is like 3 levels above yours that means you miss everythingso fucking stupid. I still don't get it, to me the final solution was "the entire system revolves around equipping Night Time Accuracy boost gems and nothing else"
First time playing Wind Waker I didn't realise that feeding bait to the fish would give you the map for that area. For some reason I completely failed to understand it the first time you meet him where it's explained to you.

>>749491175I played Super Mario World blind on the Gameboy as a kid, I got to the Forest of Illusion and ended up getting out through the Star Road straight to the final boss. Had no idea you were supposed to throw the Mechakoopas upward, it just seemed barely doable with throwing them straight out
>>749491383I'm 38 and still do this and my wife still laughs even after being together for 24 years (married for 20).

>>749491175My friend got quite a number of hours into Xenoverse before he realized there were stats you can allocate. A big group of us absolutely couldn't defeat Frieza so he looked up a strategy and discovered it.
I beat base Monster Hunter World without realizing I could reload my gunlance. I thought you just had 2 bullets and that was it.
>>749491175Took me 20+ hours in The Last Caretaker to realize I could sprint
I was stuck in A Link to the Past for 4 years because I didn't know you could light torches with the lamp. There's one puzzle in desert palace that requires it. I wrote to Nintendo Power to help and they wrote back with a photo telling me to use the lamp to light torches. My dad never see me get mail and thought it was a pedophile.
>>749491241That's how elephants unclog their boogers when then can't snort them out
>>749491175i beat golden sun dark dawn almost entirely without using djins because i didnt know you could use them or how they worked. In the final boss i did end up using them after it killed my main party
>>749502732I would like to know where that's at so I can go pour several gallons of bleach in the water.
I didn't realize that you have to hold down the attack button until the animation completes for weapons to do full damage in Morrowind until I beat the game. To be far its not very intuitive. For magic or ranged 5-10 damage means random between 5 and 10, for melee it means tapping attack does 5 and holding does 10.I am pretty sure like 1/3 of Morrowind players don't even know this.
>>749491175When I was a little kid, I didn't know about lock-on in Megaman Legends 2 until I got to that part where you're defending that tower place from the bird assholes
