I would say another new gamer mistake would be hurrying through the main story in open-world games. Open-world games are meant to be explored. They're full of side-quests, random encounters, collectables, and hidden content. They enrich the game world and are often some of the most enjoyable parts of the game.
The only 2 games I have more than 2000 hours on are GTA V and H1Z1. I bought them because I watched youtubers play them and I thought it was so much fun and I HAD to play them. I also enjoyed RDR2 for the first 2 weeks but i bought it more for the hype.
Rylin Dutson sure thing! It basically boils down to how much real world physics you know and by extension, how much you are used to seeing. I’m an engineering student, so for me that might be a tad bit more than the next person. Games like Forza for example, have a pretty realistic feel to them and leave little room for complaint. That is to say, things behave more or less as you would expect (apply a larger acceleration than the coefficient of friction between your tires and the tarmac allows and you’re bound to skid). In games like Mario Kart, (on the other end of the spectrum) game physics are far removed from real world physics. Friction coefficients are inconsistent if not completely meaningless, gravitational acceleration is selective (it doesn’t affect you up or down a hill or upside down on a track, etc) and when present, it is a very different magnitude than normal life.
@@kevinjarquin5767 I'm gonna call drifting " (apply a larger acceleration than the coefficient of friction between your tires and the tarmac allows and you’re bound to skid)." from now on lol
Oh, my dad got me in to games from a young age. He used to kick my butt in games like America's Army, but now that I'm older, I get to teach him a thing or two.
Omg, number 1 is deserving of being number 1. In the past I'd be stuck on a level for hours, doing the same thing over and other, doing "some" things differently and still being stuck. And finally frustrated, gives the game a rest, a day, 2, 3...a week, then immediately after going back in "poof" level passed, boss defeated, puzzle solved, and all I really needed was some rest.
Like passing a part of the game that your stuck on and in batman Arkham knight I got stuck on the Arkham knights tank, it made me make a new save and I stopped before that part than did after a couple weeks.
This happened to me when I was playing some old Xbox 360 pacman game and I got so annoyed at not being able to beat the last betrayus boss and I stopped playing it for a few years because I got a ps4 and came back and beat it like first try.
Yes I agree. It’s basically just you coming in fresh minded. I couldn’t pass the boss because I was only playing in the same style, same tactics. I put the controller down, turned it off and took a one-two week break. Came back into the game fresh minded. It forced my mind to process things differently like a reboot. Clear headed to notice things I wasn’t before.
This was me with Final Fantasy. The one & only FF game I played was VII. I kept seeing the ads & broke down & bought it. When I saw the real graphics, I was so disappointed. Then when I played it, I was even more disappointed. I never finished it & never played another FF game.
Exactly the point I brought up. But honestly we should probably get a little bit used to games being released too early so instead we should watch and see what the developers do after the games released, because if they actually take time to fix the game and turn it into what it was supposed to be, that at least shows some effort on the developers part but if the game releases and there's only a patch here and there that doesn't do much then that means the developers are careless morons and you shouldn't waste your money on their game.

Well, except I play Kingdom Hearts Union Cross (KHUX) & have been for 3 years.. I have met some really special people.. people I think of as family whether they're in USA, England, Canada or east/west coast, north v south etc. I certainly did NOt go into it thinking that I'd make connections like this. But hey it happened.
yeah, i have those too. a friend of mine accidentally deleted my pokemon gold safefile on the gameboy color. my first playthrough (unfinished at the time) on my first gameboy. 19 years later, it still hurts...
My biggest ‘aha!’ moment was 11 year old button mashing me realizing that different buttons did different things and by paying attention to what buttons I was pushing I could be a more proactive Kung-fu champion

"Leaving the game for a hour and coming back to it" Yeah i had a moment like that in a PSP game, absolutely stuck, came back to it ages later and did it easy.
I watched it to see if, at 37 (in 2 months) 30 years a gamer is still a first time according to this video (Nintendo, 7th Bday. Family friend lent us his Atari, when I was about 5). The title of the video should not be first time gamer in general, but 10 mistakes going into 'a' game for the first time. I don't like Minecraft because of its visuals and I know that because I am experienced. As a kid I played with blocks, so being grown up, I feel its more of a game I would of played when I was young. Now, I may enjoy it more playing with friends but still doubt I could play it for long. None of that means I am a first time gamer. I do believe Paying for cheats fits in this title though:P I bought a GameGenie when I was 10 or so, so I could get through Super Mario 3, mostly because I got to the end on my own, but the last level was difficult and I wanted to see the ending. Now grown up, cheating ruins the fun when it gets too easy to beat. I would rather feel the accomplishment of finishing it using/honing my own skills. It's also a waist of money. You beat the game quickly so you can buy the next game sooner? So you want to go broke faster I see. It may be your money, but the more you spend now, the less you'll have later.
Another mistake done by some of the more experienced players is to just never use anything that isn't common, like, at all, even when it would be good, you just fight with the common healing stuff and stats.
@Otaku Lu Happens a lot, I have an item and I think: I’ll save it for when it’s an emergency. Then, at the emergency, I think: What if there is a bigger emergency?! I need to save it!
One of my favorite videos from you guys. And honestly I've been gaming for 25 years (I'm 29 currently) and some nights I still have a hard time accepting I need to put the controller down. I definitely know a refreshed mind set is better but some nights you just don't wanna give up but it just doesn't work lol
I have a firm policy of: When I am ready to throw the console it is time to put it up for the night. Also works for other expensive electronics and homework.
We Probably Throw the Controllers because that's the Thing that we First blame but in Reality Its RNG/Luck or You just Dont Have enough skill or the Weapons are low Levels. Like in God of war.
U know when u r getting all Sherlock Holmes on a stuck mission and after 2 hours of thinking u take a break, come back the next day and see all u had to do was just simply try the button next to the door?
I see auto save and then I do five manual saves only because when I was playing Minecraft Xbox 360 edition tu11-16 I lost so much progress because auto save did not save the world it only saved the player data and I didnt play on that world for a year after that
I love how nobody is talking about the whole paying attention thing and the big PAY ATTETION popped up and its misspelled. Just.. thought id mention it.
I did something like this with Guitar Hero games. When I moved up to medium I was still killing it. Though my wrist swelled up from playing. I just switched to playing lefty flip for a week. When the swelling went down I switched back and my wrist swelled up again, so I had to go back to lefty for another week. This kept me in easier difficulties for a little too long, but I could easily move up to hard and expert modes afterwards.
I did it with the Halo games. I’m only now trying harder difficulties and it turns out I can breeze through Halo 5 Legendary. I’m still not brave enough for Halo 2 Legendary.
I'm so glad I started on the SNES at 4 years old. Been playing across platforms for 26 years now. It gives you an intrinsical knowledge of how games operate and all the different quirks.
#4 is tricky cause some game and more of them have smooth or instant transition so ironically more experienced gamers probably make the habit of putting the controller down instead of keeping it ready
lol. My brother and i played NFS 2 on Splitscreen (PC), and he insisted on having the arrows. When I started playing FPS, we Co-opped MDK: I was on movements and mouse; my brother had to fire and switch weapons. These were the best times.
Big mistake: Raging every time you lose a PVP match. Being angry actually makes you play worse. Getting good takes time, and many losses. Just remember every good player has lost hundreds or even thousands of matches.
I remember that I never really got too angry when I lost in PvP matches or died in a game... that is, when I know that it was totally my fault. But when I die because of lag, or a glitch, or something that's out of my control... well, this house didn't really need that many walls... and that much furniture
YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN. I've been gaming since the mid 80s, I was exchanging spectrum cassettes and atari cartridges with friends at school & I'm still learning.
#2. If it is available, I tend to play through the single player campaign first, not because I think it will make me better against other players in multiplayer but single player allows me to learn the weapons, the damage, the reload times, hone little strategies for weapons and items, and get a better understanding of how things work. Which just makes it less of a learning curve jumping into multiplayer.
this is perhaps the best suggestion out there.......theres a difference between wanting to learn weapons and trying to beat enemies.......and using the story line side of a game I think is really good (if for nothing else) for learning weapons
Last year, I bought a really good third party controller for like €7 and I still use it for asphalt 8, ultra sf 4 and doom eternal. It fits really great into my hands and the buttons are at the exact squishy to sturdy ratio they're supposed to be at. The only thing that makes it obvious that it's not an official controller is the quality of the plastic and that it uses USB to connect. I still have the box, so if you're interested, it's an RX3 Controller > compatible with PS3 and PC > has a 1.8m cable > "dual vibration" > only supports Xinput (whatever that may be) system requirements: PS3 or windows 7/8/10
@@thejoshua. some are good like "wireless controller for nsl (nintendo switch)" and yes, that's the name but the quality is great, it's like a hybrid of a ps4 and a nintendo switch pro controller
You showed a perfect example for nr. 2, I remember how proud I was when I beat Xero on nightmare consistently 10:0 thinking I could butt in online, but there were server where I just got smashed to pieces like I did with Xero on nightmare. Still love Quake 3 Arena and the 1080p opensource project is awsome.
One more to add, which is also a trap for more experienced players: looking for guides online on your first playthrough (unless you're really stuck at a certain point, and you think you messed up your chances by something you missed before that point... and being very self restrained even in this particular case!). Especially if you do that extensively, following a guide will ruin the game for you, when by following the guide you'll stop following the story. It's way too easy to fall into this trap even when you look up a guide thinking that you'll just take the important elements out of it: before you know it you've stopped playing your game and you're RE-playing the guide's author game. Thanks for your videos!
@@goji5887 I don't know about that. I'm happy with every preorder I've ever made, and just in case I'm not, Steam has good refund policies now. I was thinking mainly about the cancer causing power armor or shitty nylon bags that came with Fallout 76. Or the ludicrous $500 collectors edition of any game.
1:44 - "Running is like walking, only faster", "To look around, look around" and "Climb to get higher" - Yeah, I really think that I've learnt a lot from those tutorials!
My first mistake was not running at all in Gods Eater Burst for the psp. I somehow nearly finished it without upgrading my weapons. Just buying weapons when I thought they were cool. Lost to Corrosive Hannibal tho
Before the Atari, we had the Intellivision and I remember finding out that asteroid reset to level 1 after you finished the last level when I was home sick from school one day.
At least be comforted with the fact that THERE ARE people far older than you out there + you have lived long enough to experience the gaming age as it evolves. Besides, if you’re considering yourself old, my grandparents must be prehistoric
Or if you live in a 3rd world country and because of financial struggle of your family you gradually keep up with all the generations of consoles as you grow up, starting from Atari, even if you were born in 1996, like me.
Omg, when I was really young, I just started getting in to video games. I Half-Life as really the first steam game I ever played. It was great. And then I tried Red Faction. I got like half way through, and I died... only true gamers know what that feels like.
Exactly those are so fun because you leave it up to the imagination. But then after a few years uts scary to go baco to the game because u thought i was better then it was
The going back to the game later bit... I have a fond memory of this.. Was playing Shadowrun on SNES and got really stuck, not knowing where to go. Ended up playing much later, like a month later when I was sick... and what do you know, I didn't even notice a problem, realized I was past where I was before and wondering why I had a problem getting past that part... I still do that kind of thing, run around the cave/building/whatever seemingly forever not finding my way. A break usually solves it :)
I dont think that would be a beginner's mistake I think when we play a new game we dont know about the characters in the beginning and a great gamer always make some dumb mistakes
With #1 I had that problem with a side quest in AC2. I was supposed to exit a cathedral through a window. They never specified which window. So I ran through the entire building multiple times only to give up again and again by jumping off a ledge so I can respawn, then finally decide to get on RUclips for a walkthrough, and find said window was literally right in front of me the entire time.
there was one point where i spent over a month trying to beat a level of portal, so i definitely know what it's like to feel like a pro and realize that it was the simplest thing you missed.
@@baruchjauregui188 Same. Played DS1 and I am complete shit when it comes to parrying. I just kept my encumberence level to have a fast roll and kept my stamina regen at a decent rate, and I just dodged through the fights. Even now if I were to take up the game again and have another go at trying to learn to parry, I think I'd still be shit
I remember original Play Station kids ripping on me for having a N64, and telling me the Play Station has better graphics. So I eventually asked them to prove it. They showed me some game with pre-rendered cutscenes that, at the time looked pretty impressive, but then the actual gameplay would start, and then it looked like someone had smeared shit all over the walls, and your character was basically colored geometry. I then showed them Jet Force Gemini, and they got all pissy when I pointed out the cutscenes are rendered in real time, and the game OBJECTIVELY looked better, had more detailed character models, and massive breath-taking environments. I also pointed out the load times were non-existent. I never even heard of a load screen until the first time I watched someone play a Play Station. I remember suggesting to hit the reset button because I thought the game had locked up. XD
Saving in old games is really important. One time about 10 years ago, I saved once in SpellForce (the regular save) before shutting the game off, that coincided with a power shortage, but since I saved beforehand I thought I was fine. A few days later I go back in game, load the save, to see the weirdest save game bug in any strategy game. The map , which I previously conquered and set up rows of towers and an army ready to wipe out the last enemy camp, was inverted. Meaning I took control of the enemy camp and my camp was now controlled by the computer, the save before that was about a month ago at the very beginning (if you know spellforce you know it's campaign is very long especially if you go full completionist and try and get every chest and quest). Regardless to say, even though SpellForce was one of my favorite strategy/rpg games around It took me about 3 years before I picked that game up again, since I was so invested and did everything that means 2/3 of the game and dozens of gameplay hours where completely spoiled... Save your games peeps, at least 2-3 times, maybe 4. You know what, let's round it up to 10, that should be enough... Probably... PS. Reloading the save or doing windows repair, time machine... on that save just made the game bug out completely, show red and green all over and clip through the ground
@@rayyanaamir4289 Say you got bills, rent, phone/cable bills...ontop of transportation bills if you dint own your own car.... And left with $70 for a week untill payday.... Buying a $60 game just because you have the money for it doesnt mean you can afford it. In that case, its more wise financially in the grown up world to not buy it and save your damn money lol. P.s... This may or may not be based off my life living alone.. ;_;
I honestly don’t remember the first time i played video games, it has always been there all my life. Btw kids born in 2001 is now 20 years old, feel old man
But i born in 1995 so i'm 26 years old already. 10 years ago I wanted to age fast, so I can play Games 18+. But now I really start to regret that. The older you get, the slower your reactiontime, but the more relaxed you are.
I feel like the best games don’t need tutorials. They just leave the learning process to the players so that you can discover the mechanics on your own. This makes the way to master the controls of your character so much more satisfying than just interrupting every few seconds to explain the next steps. It doesn’t work in every game but I think less is definitely more when it comes to tutorials.
My uncle (back in the day) wrote out all the code to create Pong on his home computer... and got it wrong the first time. Had to go back through all the 1s and 0s to figure out where he messed up.
I use the campaign to learn the mechanics, multiplayer to put them to use, sometimes I'll go back for "practice" but you know its gonna be hell going back online

I watched it to see if, at 37 (in 2 months) 30 years a gamer is still a first time according to this video (Nintendo, 7th Bday. Family friend lent us his Atari, when I was about 5). The title of the video should not be first time gamer in general, but 10 mistakes going into 'a' game for the first time. I don't like Minecraft because of its visuals and I know that because I am experienced. As a kid I played with blocks, so being grown up, I feel its more of a game I would of played when I was young. Now, I may enjoy it more playing with friends but still doubt I could play it for long. None of that means I am a first time gamer.
I do believe Paying for cheats fits in this title though:P I bought a GameGenie when I was 10 or so, so I could get through Super Mario 3, mostly because I got to the end on my own, but the last level was difficult and I wanted to see the ending. Now grown up, cheating ruins the fun when it gets too easy to beat. I would rather feel the accomplishment of finishing it using/honing my own skills. It's also a waist of money. You beat the game quickly so you can buy the next game sooner? So you want to go broke faster I see. It may be your money, but the more you spend now, the less you'll have later.
@@bigslime2868 Dude... I'm 26... And I wasn't born with a game controller in my hands...
Biggest Mistake: using limited and rare items early on against easy bosses
Another mistake done by some of the more experienced players is to just never use anything that isn't common, like, at all, even when it would be good, you just fight with the common healing stuff and stats.
dark souls and sekiro XD
Another mistake never using limited or rare items.
@Otaku Lu Happens a lot, I have an item and I think: I’ll save it for when it’s an emergency.
Then, at the emergency, I think: What if there is a bigger emergency?! I need to save it!
Skyrim: "Let's keep that potion for later use" - never use it.
Gameranx: "Beating that boss that's taking you forever."
The screen: literally fucking Greatwood
One of my favorite videos from you guys. And honestly I've been gaming for 25 years (I'm 29 currently) and some nights I still have a hard time accepting I need to put the controller down. I definitely know a refreshed mind set is better but some nights you just don't wanna give up but it just doesn't work lol
I have a firm policy of: When I am ready to throw the console it is time to put it up for the night. Also works for other expensive electronics and homework.
Im not sure what you mean by put it up?
We Probably Throw the Controllers because that's the Thing that we First blame but in Reality Its RNG/Luck or You just Dont Have enough skill or the Weapons are low Levels. Like in God of war.
U know when u r getting all Sherlock Holmes on a stuck mission and after 2 hours of thinking u take a break, come back the next day and see all u had to do was just simply try the button next to the door?
Or in a combat game you try for 3 hours then turn it off then the next day but you beat it first try
Bio shock when I literally looked everywhere and there was a button by the elavator
Or realizing the door has a knob after looking for hours. My brother did this.
That happens a lot to me
Or realising that the combination for the door was written on the key...
Loved the shout out to West of Loathing. It's such a gem
my girl used to scream through the headphones during PUBG and even point directions like "that side", not the actual direction.
HAHAHA old gamers don't trust auto save we always save Everytime we move HAHAHAHAHA
I see auto save and then I do five manual saves only because when I was playing Minecraft Xbox 360 edition tu11-16 I lost so much progress because auto save did not save the world it only saved the player data and I didnt play on that world for a year after that
The pain is when the Game had GAMEBREAKING BUGS
Especially in harder games
doesn't help that some games only save data like your inventory or achievements instead of your location in the game.
No joke. Got into a habit of that after spending about three hours on Skyrim. It doesn't always save properly.
Beginner mistake: Not blowing out the game before sticking it in.
Right?!

I thought it was intentional to see if we were paying attention.
Not much people were paying enough attetion

Omg thank you for mentioning West of Loathing. The humor and writing of that game are top notch.
brought some nostalgia on with that killzone 2 reference lol
A mistake I used to make when playing games was keeping the difficulty level at easy all the time even when I completed the game
I did something like this with Guitar Hero games. When I moved up to medium I was still killing it. Though my wrist swelled up from playing. I just switched to playing lefty flip for a week. When the swelling went down I switched back and my wrist swelled up again, so I had to go back to lefty for another week. This kept me in easier difficulties for a little too long, but I could easily move up to hard and expert modes afterwards.
Me too
Many of us do in some games.
I did it with the Halo games. I’m only now trying harder difficulties and it turns out I can breeze through Halo 5 Legendary. I’m still not brave enough for Halo 2 Legendary.
Talk to literally EVERY NPC, you never know when you might find that secret quest with the amazing drop.
Good idea,specially in Fallout 3-4.
Or with any rpg.
@@DarthRelkew xD
Don't forget to exhaust all their dialogue.
Unless Simon's Quest. Then go read an online guide or watch AVGN.
I'm so glad I started on the SNES at 4 years old. Been playing across platforms for 26 years now. It gives you an intrinsical knowledge of how games operate and all the different quirks.
#4 is tricky cause some game and more of them have smooth or instant transition so ironically more experienced gamers probably make the habit of putting the controller down instead of keeping it ready
Placing their hands over the arrow keys instead of WASD
lol. My brother and i played NFS 2 on Splitscreen (PC), and he insisted on having the arrows.
When I started playing FPS, we Co-opped MDK: I was on movements and mouse; my brother had to fire and switch weapons. These were the best times.

Big mistake: Raging every time you lose a PVP match. Being angry actually makes you play worse. Getting good takes time, and many losses. Just remember every good player has lost hundreds or even thousands of matches.
Patience pays in games like Battlefield n whatnot.
A master has failed more times than a beginner has even tried.
true that
I remember that I never really got too angry when I lost in PvP matches or died in a game... that is, when I know that it was totally my fault. But when I die because of lag, or a glitch, or something that's out of my control... well, this house didn't really need that many walls... and that much furniture
@@xonxt totally get where you're coming from
YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN.
I've been gaming since the mid 80s, I was exchanging spectrum cassettes and atari cartridges with friends at school & I'm still learning.
When you know something hard is out there but you think you can do it without practice
#2. If it is available, I tend to play through the single player campaign first, not because I think it will make me better against other players in multiplayer but single player allows me to learn the weapons, the damage, the reload times, hone little strategies for weapons and items, and get a better understanding of how things work. Which just makes it less of a learning curve jumping into multiplayer.
Exactly
Depending on the game the campaign can have an amazing story and helps you learn about the actual lore of the game you're playing better.
this is perhaps the best suggestion out there.......theres a difference between wanting to learn weapons and trying to beat enemies.......and using the story line side of a game I think is really good (if for nothing else) for learning weapons
Buying a third party controller is definitely up there
TRUE!
There are trash
Last year, I bought a really good third party controller for like €7 and I still use it for asphalt 8, ultra sf 4 and doom eternal. It fits really great into my hands and the buttons are at the exact squishy to sturdy ratio they're supposed to be at.
The only thing that makes it obvious that it's not an official controller is the quality of the plastic and that it uses USB to connect.
I still have the box, so if you're interested, it's an
RX3 Controller
> compatible with PS3 and PC
> has a 1.8m cable
> "dual vibration"
> only supports Xinput (whatever that may be)
system requirements: PS3 or windows 7/8/10
@@thejoshua. But some of them are sooooooo good
@@thejoshua. some are good like "wireless controller for nsl (nintendo switch)" and yes, that's the name but the quality is great, it's like a hybrid of a ps4 and a nintendo switch pro controller
You showed a perfect example for nr. 2, I remember how proud I was when I beat Xero on nightmare consistently 10:0 thinking I could butt in online, but there were server where I just got smashed to pieces like I did with Xero on nightmare.

ngl i played through dark souls III without knowing i can parry until my friends told me
One more to add, which is also a trap for more experienced players:
looking for guides online on your first playthrough
(unless you're really stuck at a certain point, and you think you messed up your chances by something you missed before that point... and being very self restrained even in this particular case!).
Especially if you do that extensively, following a guide will ruin the game for you, when by following the guide you'll stop following the story.
It's way too easy to fall into this trap even when you look up a guide thinking that you'll just take the important elements out of it: before you know it you've stopped playing your game and you're RE-playing the guide's author game.
Thanks for your videos!
I have a brother who does that. For example, in God of War, he has better loot, but I’m enjoying myself! Suck on that!
I did this with Terraria, aI really spoiled all the discovery for myself because of it
Lol have you played Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time?
You guys use guides?
I always fall into that trap when I played any Silent Hill game

The going back to the game later bit... I have a fond memory of this.. Was playing Shadowrun on SNES and got really stuck, not knowing where to go. Ended up playing much later, like a month later when I was sick... and what do you know, I didn't even notice a problem, realized I was past where I was before and wondering why I had a problem getting past that part... I still do that kind of thing, run around the cave/building/whatever seemingly forever not finding my way. A break usually solves it :)

Another begginer mistake: missing good items in open world games
Another one: maxing out weak characters in mmorpg or gacha based games
Maxing out weak characters is me lmao. But it did turn out well!
I maxed out all the default characters in warframe lol
Maxing weak characters is not a mistake, is a way to live
Maxing out characters that you're going to lose halfway through the game. Aeirth anyone?
I dont think that would be a beginner's mistake I think when we play a new game we dont know about the characters in the beginning and a great gamer always make some dumb mistakes
With #1 I had that problem with a side quest in AC2. I was supposed to exit a cathedral through a window. They never specified which window. So I ran through the entire building multiple times only to give up again and again by jumping off a ledge so I can respawn, then finally decide to get on RUclips for a walkthrough, and find said window was literally right in front of me the entire time.
there was one point where i spent over a month trying to beat a level of portal, so i definitely know what it's like to feel like a pro and realize that it was the simplest thing you missed.
“Can you imagine playing Dark Souls without parrying?”
Me and my fast roll would like to spark your imagination
Yeah I am not the best at parrying so I just jump or roll got it down to an art form, I do it out of pure instant reaction
@@baruchjauregui188 Same. Played DS1 and I am complete shit when it comes to parrying. I just kept my encumberence level to have a fast roll and kept my stamina regen at a decent rate, and I just dodged through the fights. Even now if I were to take up the game again and have another go at trying to learn to parry, I think I'd still be shit

I accidentally loaded a save file thinking I was saving.
The Arkham series and Darksiders games lowkey had some really hard puzzles
The save thing scarred me, so I just always manually save even when I know its auto saved
same just have to be sure or else
Same, but I double save just in case my first save didn't save.
Same I still manually save on any game that I can.
Yeah man
I triple save
I remember original Play Station kids ripping on me for having a N64, and telling me the Play Station has better graphics. So I eventually asked them to prove it. They showed me some game with pre-rendered cutscenes that, at the time looked pretty impressive, but then the actual gameplay would start, and then it looked like someone had smeared shit all over the walls, and your character was basically colored geometry. I then showed them Jet Force Gemini, and they got all pissy when I pointed out the cutscenes are rendered in real time, and the game OBJECTIVELY looked better, had more detailed character models, and massive breath-taking environments. I also pointed out the load times were non-existent. I never even heard of a load screen until the first time I watched someone play a Play Station. I remember suggesting to hit the reset button because I thought the game had locked up. XD
Goattacular PS players are generally more.. proud?
Helping a friend with skyrim puzzles is fun
Saving in old games is really important. One time about 10 years ago, I saved once in SpellForce (the regular save) before shutting the game off, that coincided with a power shortage, but since I saved beforehand I thought I was fine.
A few days later I go back in game, load the save, to see the weirdest save game bug in any strategy game. The map , which I previously conquered and set up rows of towers and an army ready to wipe out the last enemy camp, was inverted.
Meaning I took control of the enemy camp and my camp was now controlled by the computer, the save before that was about a month ago at the very beginning (if you know spellforce you know it's campaign is very long especially if you go full completionist and try and get every chest and quest).
Regardless to say, even though SpellForce was one of my favorite strategy/rpg games around It took me about 3 years before I picked that game up again, since I was so invested and did everything that means 2/3 of the game and dozens of gameplay hours where completely spoiled...
Save your games peeps, at least 2-3 times, maybe 4. You know what, let's round it up to 10, that should be enough...
Probably...
PS. Reloading the save or doing windows repair, time machine... on that save just made the game bug out completely, show red and green all over and clip through the ground

But i born in 1995 so i'm 26 years old already. 10 years ago I wanted to age fast, so I can play Games 18+. But now I really start to regret that.
The older you get, the slower your reactiontime, but the more relaxed you are.
I feel like the best games don’t need tutorials. They just leave the learning process to the players so that you can discover the mechanics on your own. This makes the way to master the controls of your character so much more satisfying than just interrupting every few seconds to explain the next steps. It doesn’t work in every game but I think less is definitely more when it comes to tutorials.
I would disagree. It works in every game.
