What's the stupidest reason you've gotten stuck

give me a hug

One of the older Tales games where I kept resetting the game after dying only to find out that I was meant to lose the fight.

Spent like two hours on it.

Wario land 2, you can jump higher by pressing up + A, but you can achieve the same thing by double jumping, so I never knew that or needed that, until a part of the game where you shrink and HAVE to make a up+A jump because you can't double jump when you're small.

Got stuck in RE3 Clocktower music box puzzle because I didn't realize there was a "Play" button at the end. Just thought I was doing it wrong constantly after hitting End.

Pokemon Ruby. Had just cleared Slateport city and was ready to move onto the next zone. Only way forward was on the bike way, but I didn't have a bike yet. I bummed around for like weeks thinking I'd missed something earlier in game. Eventually found out you just walk underneath the bike way.

>>388517158

This has happened to me multiple times in multiple playthroughs.

It will probably happen the next time I play the game. Something about that puzzle is poorly designed.

i didn't check which version i downloaded and the older version i downloaded doesn't have a path to a certain item needed to finish the game and all the guides to the older version have been updated and i have no way to find out another way

I JUST WANTED TO RIP THAT LITTLE SHIT IN TWO

That part in Phantom Hourglass where you had your map in the bottom screen and an imprint at the top screen.
>Had to close the ds physically while on this state to place the map on the imprint
Fuck this came without any past similar situation or instruction, in the middle of the game.
Lost so many hours going by myself to the spot on the map and trying to fish the item, but no, had to do the closing thing. I got it one day out of coincidence, since I closed my ds to go somewhere while the map was on.

I stopped playing SMRPG for years as a kid because I didn't know I was supposed to literally ram into the door in Marrymore with Bowser.
I thought I was supposed to find another way in while he flies into it over and over like a retard.

>>388517256
there was a door in this game where activating the door didn't do anything, but you had to hit small console right next to the door, and the camera angle was so fucked it wasn't visible at all.

I didn't know you could sprint in Super Meat Boy

There's a level with a gap you can only clear by sprinting and jumping. I heard the game was balls hard before playing, so I just assumed you had to find a secret or the jump had to be pixel perfect.

You're dumber than DSP.

I got stuck in Pokemon SuMo for an hour and thought my game softlocked because I couldn't get out of bed.
The D-pad did nothing and I never tried the circle pad. No other button did anything.

Stuck in the first dungeon in skyrim because i thought the corridor i walked down was a dead end but there is a chaim you have to pull. I walked around for hours. Next day a friend said he did the same thing.

>>388517571
Why would they do that? What is there, a character limit? Lmao

>>388517843
I remember fucking myself in FFIX by trying to use a Gameshark to master all abilities, but it instead made the game assume all abilities were equipped at all times, even when I tried to load the game up without the gameshark.
All my physical damage dealers healed enemies and bosses because they all had that Garnet ability that makes your standard attack heal instead of deal damage permanently embedded in their skulls.

Had to start over after learning a firm lesson about gamesharks.

The first Rayman game there's a level in Picture City where you have to run into a bounce platform and jump through a bunch of sharp pencils. I kept walking into the platform trying to make these elaborate jumps to avoid every pencil but kept getting killed when literally all I had to do was run and the jump would take care of itself.

Took me a few months to figure that out.

At the start of tomb raider legend theres the seesaw puzzle in pic related.

Basically, you have to weigh down one side of the see saw with a box, jump on the other side and propel the box up on to the ledge.

I weighed down the seesaw with the box and tried to jump, hit the top of the other side of the seesaw but it wouldnt move. I spent hours trying to find another box, trying to go to other rooms to find an item, trying to mess around with the seesaw but nothing would work.

My friend bought tomb raider legend at the same time as me but was completely confused as to why i couldnt do it and told me he just jumped off the ledge on to the seesaw like i did.

It turned out that you have to jump from the right angle from the platform to trigger a unique animation (that looks very similar to the normal animation) of lara jumping on to the seesaw to catupult the box that isnt used AT ALL in the rest of the game or ever again. Really shitty design. Instead of using actual physics for the puzzle they just use a trigger for the animation to play when you jump.

I was stuck there for about 2 hours.

I turn off the objective markers on Dishonored. In the first mission, you suppose to get a guy "somewhere safe" but there's no direction where to. I stuck for an hour because I'm a persistent retard and never played it again for a week..

Turns out, you need to put him in a garbage chute next to the building.

It's the only objective where turning off the marker will make you stuck, too. The other objectives after it are perfectly playable without the markers.

The first Deponia game.

Where you had to use a funnel as a blowpipe.

On a scrap planet that probably has pipes scattered everywhere.

Hollow knight, reached a bunch of shitty bouncing mushrooms(basically no high on the bounce) and a wall too high. Thought I needed an upgrade I didn't have yet and left

Ended up exploring literally everything else that I could, with every path now requiring some sort of an upgrade. I came back to the mushrooms, caved in and looked it up

Turns out you could slash down in the game, and if you slash down on the bouncy mushrooms, you can fly over the wall. Fuck me

>>388523126

Not really, it's just everytime the option was given to you I saw no real reason to not read the documents since they were interesting and since you'd be skipping all the dialogue you've seen already you'd accidentally select "Read the Documents" when you probably didn't want to.

In your mind, reading the documents would be beneficial than not reading them, so really there is no reason to NOT read them when given the chance since it could be the clue to getting out of the room. The only reason you wouldn't read them would be if you take your time, and know you've read them several times and know it does nothing.

I imagine it was something you're meant to do on the second playthrough, since the game has a time traveling device so you'd go back to the room again, and not read the documents, but it still seems weird to only give the player the important item if they DON'T choose to read the documents.

In LoZ Spirit Tracks there are sanctuaries that you must unlock by playing your panflute with the DS mic and following a rigid song. I got to the Sand Sanctuary and got stuck there until my cousin came by with his original DS and finished the song the first try.
I don't know why I couldn't beat it, I tried so many times. I wound up getting max rupees and almost all of the unlockable train cars, but that was because I hit a fucking wall.

When I just began playing Morrowind as a fucking kid I obviously ran into one of these at some point. You know what happened. For a while I didn't figure out that praying at an altar in Morrowind would lift the bonewalker's curse and kinda just gave up at some point, because I thought my character was permanently crippled. So before I learned how the spell works and how you can counter it or remove it, I just tried to stay away from these motherfuckers on subsequent playthroughs and panicked whenever I saw one.

>>388529352
What's really annoying is that if you have strength boosting items equipped, you have to re-equip them to get the full bonus back after the curse is removed.

The statue/park level in goldeneye for the N64. I wanna say board 13?

the mission objective was to confront some other character at the end of the park. apparently this meant to unequip your weapons and go unarmed before hitting that trigger.

Always just the most brain dead shit. I overanalyze everything as soon as I'm not sure what to do, and the solution is usually something like clicking on the keypad instead of the door.

It's okay, I got out in the end. Then I got stuck on Brock because I only ever used Pikachu. For years whenever I restarted I'd grind all the way until Pikachu was at level 20 before taking on Brock.

prey (2006)

there was this one room i was stuck in forever
all i had to do is just look up

>implying it wasn't Toddler's idea in the first place

The only times I got stuck in games was when I had the right idea but the game's definition of how this idea should be executed was retarded.
Like when you just need to shoot something, but it only registers from a retarded angle.

I didn't find the second bonfire in Sen's Fortress, so every time I died I had to do the whole tower again, so I stopped unhollowing in case I died on the way up, so I wasn't able to summon Tarkus to stom the Iron Golem for me.

I started to think Golem was a puzzle fight, I tried getting the giants to kill him with those exploding cannon balls, then spent some time trying to get the Golem trying to knock down the bricks in the back of the arena thinking it was an obviously covered up door.

I sure was pissed later on when I found out that door was cut content.

This was me but in Pokemon Yellow.

I got to the cave without Flash and I somehow made it through by bumping through the walls and charting my way out

To this day I don't know how I accomplished that shit as a child

this shit, couldn't figure out what the fuck to do for half an hour, and google couldn't help

Finally figured it out after looking in every room extensively

Replaying Half-Life 2, and Ive gotten stuck about 3 times because I couldn't find or passed over a lever or valve I needed to use.

>>388520201
Can relate. Had the yellow version and leveled up my Pikachu to be able to kill Brock's Geodude and Onyx with thundershock. Didn't even know Mankeys were a thing until years later.

>>388539709
I did the same, but on purpose. I replayed the gen 1 games so often that at one point I figured it would be more interesting if I went through the rock tunnel with a pokemon that could use flash but never turned it on. It was more of a challenge but I made it through just by bumping against things and seeing what could dimly be made out.

>>388533235
late reply but that mission is incredibly easy if you escape the swat using the motorboat parked behind the villa

You don't even have to go down, though.

Ah fuck that shit. The one where you're at the abandoned mansion and the FBI ambush you but you have to escape, that one is fucking awful. "To Live and Die in Alderney". I looked it up.

>>388516992
I hated how many "you're supposed to lose" fights there were in those games... I always wasted items trying not to die. If I knew a fight would be like that I just stopped playing

I had Ocarina of Time since I was about 6/7 and didn't get out of Kokiri Village until I was about 13. Took me years to figure out that to get down to Gohma you had to roll with a lit Deku Stick in your hand. I mean what the fuck were they thinking? I kept looking for a way to fall down onto it

when you have to hold a button to start
why are game doing this ?
how holding E different from just pressing it ?
it's just a loss of time
same goes for respawn in ghost recon wildlands
every interaction in destiny
a lot other game do this but these are the only one where i got stuck

>>388540792
i will always remember when i was on that part and my dad was watching me play and we both solved it together

wish i still had my copy and dad didnt smash the shit out of it

In RE2 when playing as Claire you have to detonate the wall near the helicopter I just couldnt find the spot to use the bomb on. I literally went through every single pixel wondering why the fuck it just wouldn't work. Turns out I should have COMBINE Detonater + Plastic Bomb. It just didn't make any sense to me at the time, I thought I'd have to use the bomb, walk around the corner and use detonator.

Dude, as a kid I refused to teach a useless move like flash to my Pokémon, so I ended up memorizing the cave for later playthroughs...I got stuck so many times in that game. I had issues beating Brock till I realized you can get a Nidoran to learn double kick at lvl 12. Then I missed out on the bike because I never talked to the old fan club guy to get a free one. Also took me a while to figure out when to go back and get Bulbasaur.

You can't hit Geodude or Onxy with Thundershock you fucking normie

Fuck I remember that. I think I accidentally figured it out

Speaking of weird DS shit, did anyone play the Hotel Dusk sequel? That took the "close the DS" shit to another level, and was impossible to do on a 3DS without looking up the solution ahead of time.

>>388541506
i used to go home for lunch and i was always plkaying video games every chance i got, even if it was for 10 minutes and one day i lost track of time and mom came in yelling ANON YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE and flipped out and pulled the game out of the snes and smashed it.fucking dad was watching me play the whole time too

Buy the strategy guide

But seriously i was about to type this because pre youtube it was impossible

here's a (You)

>>388519224
i think i had tried the game 5 years earlier and had a similar experience, only i got stuck in Sun

using the games manual to find the Grail isnt bad though, it's literally the intended solution. they expect you to read it, especially when it says "do all of guidance first". im big on not using a guide for LM too, i didnt use one and i think its definitely doable if youre patient and take diligent notes, but the manual is part of the devs design so i always tell people not to ignore it

that being said i explored too early without it too and got stuck behind a weighted wall in Spring in the Sky and had to grind for a drop.

anyway the stupidest thing i got stuck on in any game was also in la mulana because i didnt realize a vine near the end of the game was climbable so i sat there for like an hour looking for an alternate path

>>388537139
To be fair that level was made poorly on purpose.

I maxed out the timer on paper Mario because I didn't think to talk to Merlon behind his crystal ball

>>388526393
Yup, I wasn't paying attention the first time and didn't see the wizard fly backwards. I thought he just teleported away.

>>388517316
I don't know how I figured it out when I was a kid. The solution was to actually roleplay with the npc. Games were nice back then when you didn't have internet to give the the immediate answer.

>>388541387
I reached that part at 3-4am and my exhausted mind convinced itself that I had tried both the correct spelling and switching E and A. Thinking the game was glitched or I was a moron, I tried other words and then tried to bruteforce it. Sleep is the key to strong thought anons.

>>388543281
Sorry, meant to add I maxed out the timer before chapter 1. Honestly it was my first big rpg that I completed and I had little reference for games at that time, so I figured the whole game was just the prologue and toad town
