Resident Evil: Director's cut way back in the day. Didn't realize i could open the book to get the item that you need to progress further in the game. Bought when it was new, played up to that point... quit. 6 months later started new game, same point in game... quit. Repeat every couple of months till about Resident evil 4 was about a year old or so and it finally dawned on me to open the damn book.

Are you serious???? I always just settled with the Shit Necklace (aka Turd Pendant) and never even thought closing the lid was a possibility .__. Man, I hate it when games are smarter than I am.Connor Lonske said:

When I first played Fallout 3, this was the first time I really played a typical Bethesda first-person game, so I wasn't familiar with the controls. And being stubborn, I never bothered to actually read the manual- I just played and learned from there. Point is- I spent probably more than 100 hours in the game doing sidequests and everything, only occasionally doing something for the main questline. By the time we awoke Liberty Prime- I can't remember how, but I somehow fell into the launch pad below the ground floor. I thought I would have to restart from the last checkpoint, but then, after randomly tapping the buttons, I found out the "Y" button was the jump button. I had spent the entire game up to that point not even realizing I could jump.

OT: Whenever I play a difficult to kill character in LoL and we are ahead enough for me to be confident in our win, I will stop caring. Zero ****s will be given, I will initiate as Swain by running at them screaming a battle cry and if I ever get to play Nunu.........You don't want me to play nunu...
I had to use a hacked save to finish Radiant Dawn. I'm not proud of that, but unless you train up a very specific set of characters then "The Black Knight" and Ashera are basically unbeatable and I really didn't want to go through all of the game again. FE has a really bad habit of punishing you for not training the "correct" units in general in favour of story bollocks.ThunderCavalier said:
But in Path of Radiance, CP8. There's a battle just after the mercenary commander dies. The game all of a sudden ramps up its difficulty and I must of tried it at least 100 times (completely serious) trying different strategies, trying to recruit all the units and not letting any of them die. I eventually beat it by using a simple strategy that's used in Chess and using Ike to control most of the fort.
I love the FE games, but by god does it hate the players.
Playing Mass Effect 2, I had just gotten the Cain. Saved up the ammo, then decided to use it on the boss of the level. What level was that? The one where you get Legion. You know, the boss fight where the enemies are all running up to you to hit you at melee range?
Yeah, I found out shortly that it is possible to friendly-fire yourself.

there's a part where you need to search for the Korok that plays violin, I kept hearing the music but could not find the damn little guy after, I kid you not, HOURS of searching I used the grappling hook in front of a waterfall, because I was bored and convinced my game was corrupted, didn't properly swing and ended up going into the waterfall and there he was playing his stupid violin. Problem was the waterfall is practically in your face from the moment you enter the island and there's even music notes coming out of it, I was so pissed I turned off the game immediately and it wasn't until weeks later I came back to it.
I'm still pissed I missed something so obvious and ever since then I always check for caves behind waterfalls 9 out of 10 times there's a cave there

My gaming idiocy usually involves throwing grenades and them not quite going where i expect them to, normally resulting in an explosive and shameful death. In every game. Ever.
I nearly didn't manage to complete Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. What was my problem? Fairly early into the game you come to a large room. The inner walkway has collapsed and the outer walkway collapses as you approach. I took that as the game saying don't go that way. So I wall ran along the inner wall where the gap was too large to cross. Took me several months before I realised you were supposed to go outside.
