what are some moments in video games that made you feel like an absolute fucking retard?
>>376656746
I went through over half of God Hand before realizing you could upgrade your health bar and roulette gauge
I didn't upgrade any of my characters in Tales of Hearts R until half way in. Didn't know I could level up the soma.
I didn't know you could run from battles in final fantasy 7. the whole game.

I went through almost half of Tales of Symphonia without realizing what EX skills did. Same with abyss and AD skills.
>>376656746
I went through half of Rondo of Blood without realising Richter can backflip.
didnt know you could level up your sword in mgr
played through hard with little trouble though
>>376656746
Oh shit I didn't know that. I played 80 hours of that game, half of that must have been cutlass fury animations.
>>376656746
I realised you could hold B to run in Resident Evil 4... after finishing the game twice
>>376656746
I was trying to get as many collectibles as I could before advancing the story in Sleeping Dogs. Had no idea I could aim guns and took out a lot of those gang operations in the tunnels just by blindfiring behind cover. When I finally got to the point in the story that I was taught how to use firearms I felt like an idiot. On the plus side though, I beat all my friends several times over when it came to the Lucky Shooter challenge.

what
I have a retarded moment of my own in RE4it might even be as stupid as yoursbut how the fuck can that happen?
Had a really dumb one while playing Andromeda.
Was on an asteroid and couldn't leave the Nomad. Took me stupidly long to figure out how to return to the Tempest.
>>376656746
I forgot you could buy techniques in Bayonetta
Played through NieR 2 and got to right before the final boss before upgrading any of my swords.
>finish fallout 3, new vegas and 4 a couple times
>find out recently that if your weapons holstered or unequiped, the f for autorun turns to sprint
>mfw thinking of the hundreds of hours i wasted running slowly around the wasteland
>>376659896
what the fuck are you on about? there's walking and running, that's it
>>376659896
I only remember sprint in Project Nevada
>>376656746
I didn't realize one could trade items and consumables in Xenoblade until 55 hours in the game. I beat it in 60.
>playing last level of Valkyria Chronicles
>pause game
>realize I can save during battle
>>376659896
You can't sprint in NV or 3 without Project Nevada dipshit, and with PE it automatically holsters your shit for you when you sprint.
>>376656746
Played through the entirety of mgs1 with the d-pad, not knowing you could enable analog control.
>>376660017
>>376660145try it again
>>376660017
4 has sprint, new vegas has sprint if you use jsawyer or that other really popular mod
>>376660229
Thats the better way of playing it though
Oh shit I just remembered my first attempts at playing Valkyrie Profile. On my first try I had no fucking idea why Freya was mad at me because I didn't realize I was supposed to send Einherjar to her. I thought I was fine if the skills she asked for were on the characters I used. When I realized that I was a fucking idiot I started over.
On my second try, in the menu where you spend your points (MP, right?) to buy consumables and equipment, I didn't realize there were several tabs because I didn't notice I could press left and right on that menu. I thought it was strictly for consumables. I was wondering why I could barely find decent weapons and armor and why the game kicked my shit in so bad. I have no idea how but I actually made it midway through Lezard Valeth's tower with my weak-ass characters. Then I noticed I was a double fucking idiot I started over again.
Without internet guides my experience of that game would have been complete fucking chaos.
could hold E to drink continously
didnt know sprinting was a thing in skyrim
didnt know how to raise item weight limit
