Gaming Mess-ups

[mortalsatsuma]

I have literally only just found out that Knuckles from Sonic and Knuckles is actually a guy. for a long time now i have always thought him to be a girl. so thats my gaming mess up, whats yours?

 

[SextusMaximus]

Hehe... oops.

I did not know of the counter button in the latest prince of persia game. That was a big mistake considering that game is damn near intolerable without it.

 

[Woodsey]

Well, I thought Tails was a guy.

 

[FactualSquirrel]

Birdo, Poison, Bridget...

If you're talking about not knowing things, then it would have to be Samus being a woman.

Thinking that Cranky Kong was just some random Uncle and not the actual first Donkey Kong (from the arcade)

Finding out Samus was a girl.

It was a long time ago, but I was like "WOAH"

Not really a mess-up - I think it was meant to be a big surprise by design...

Trying to play any RTS online against anyone is my biggest, lifelong game mess-up.

My first time playing Fallout 3, for whatever reason I didn't realize that right clicking makes you aim your weapon, increasing accuracy. I was frustrated with the game and my inability to hit anything.

Wait, what?

Tails is a guy.

Well maybe I thought he was a girl...

I'm so confused!

Not knowing how to zoom in with a sniper rifle on the original Hitman, had a real good shot or was just plain lucky and killed the guy without it (from sniping distance)

When I was playing FEAR for the first time, I somehow came to the conclusion that Alma wasn't a danger to me. Don't ask me why.

Tali is a chick goddamit.

Male Shepard nails her in ME2 if you want. And Bioware said there were no homosexual relations in ME2. So she is a female Quarian. Which for all I know could be just like a human male and male Quarians carry the young like Sea Horses... gross...


On Topic-
I thought that The Darkness might be worth the cost of a rental. It is not.

Seriously though, I didn't figure out that The Force Unleashed's Star Destroyer was bugged on 360. Drove me insane every time I did what the stupid old man wanted and failed miserably...

I thought Link's name is Zelda.

Hey, I was under 10, I didn't speak much english, I didn't really care about the conversations and I had only tried like two Zelda-games.

Spoiler: Tails

not

Spoiler: Tali

Sorry about that. Obviously I should read a little slower in the future.

I forgot about that little rodent. What the hell is Tails anyway? On one of the cartoons from the mid 90s I seem to remember Tails with a chick voice. But later on a guy voice. Is he/she a tranny? That would be bold for a gaming company.


I suppose my previous line of questioning is a case of a forum mess up.

Not really a mess-up - I think it was meant to be a big surprise by design...

But it's MY mess up to think she was a guy, now wasn't it?

In a way, I suppose. In which case this was a general mess-up... I'd still say you just fell right into their trap, taking assumptions for fact (hey, I made the same assumption at the time, I'm no better!).

I thought Link's name is Zelda.

Hoy, same here. Both the name confusion and the language situation.
