Useful features you didn't realize where in a game?

In Fallout New Vegas, you could set specific weapons to number keys, by holding a number (Except 2, that's switch ammo) and then clicking said item.
And now you don't need to go into vats to switch items anymore.
I took me until my until 3/4 through my second playthrough. Take in mind, that was my one where I decided I had to do every single quest possible.
I didn't know about that "Tap VATS" tip. I know which game I'm going to play now.

Persona 4, I didn't know that your party member's persona evolved once you had a max social link with them. I felt so stupid after that because for MONTHS, they had been pretty high level social link wise, but I stopped paying attention to them to work on other stuff. By the time I realized this, it was DECEMBER. God I hated myself.
From the same game, just realizing all the stuff I could actually do. In August there is significant downtime, so I decided to properly explore Inaba. Come my shock when I see a lot of things that could have helped me before. "Rainy Day special? What's that?" "Hmm, a bulletin board. Wait, I can get jobs?!" "Huh, didn't notice these vending machines before. TaP soda? Ugh, that would have been helpful at the beginning of the game!"
Have no idea why I didn't know about those features before. Maybe I was too busy grinding and doing sidequests that I just never noticed. But trust me, the facepalms were numerous. Wasn't even my first Persona game either (Persona 3 FES was)!

The Escapist is where I learned as well. It's pretty cool to still see people just discovering that fact. [sub]I freaking love this websitewombat_of_war said:haha its where i learned it as wellGabanuka said:
bethesda "someone must be talking about the water drinking again on the escapist, installations have skyrocketed over night"

It wasn't until years after I'd first played and beaten the game that I realized there was a shop in it. Seriously, you'd think they would have pointed it out a bit better, rather than presuming you'd have the manual or just happen to press the select key on the stage select screen.

Sonic Advanced 2: I could press "R" and up to do a high jump.
THis is mandatory in some areas. And you are NEVER TOLD ABOUT IT!

WHAT!? I've had that game since day one and didn't know about that...wombat_of_war said:

There are a ton of games that have online-only multiplayer. I know I'm not the only person who can't connect any of my consoles to the internet. A lack of local or, bot-matches means that I have a pretty large portion of such games cut off from me. Also I never really saw the point of Forge mode in Halo whatever but this going back to the internet issue.
I killed Lord Ochu, dunno how I managedm and yeah the chocobo eater threw me off, but to be fair he did that sometimes anyway just by being a prick. The scorpion-esque sin spawn was hard as fucking nails! I did realise the difference when I could actually level up xD decimated everything for the next ten hours or so!Hawk of Battle said:
yeah this, i put in like 60 hours before i figured this out on one campaign...i was soooo mad about that.SextusMaximus said:
I still can't fucking do it for shit, which bugs me because I love playing the soldier class. oh well, back to pyro class where I make it my personal goal in life that day to ruin every spy's game.bobmus said:
OT: this isn't HUGE, but it's a feature I would've loved to know how to do off the bat, saw a friend do it and i was like "WTF IS THAT! CHEATINGGGGGG!" but it's just an awesome feature:
"gliding" in brawl
In Dragon Age 2 on the 360, after I beat the big giant rock monster I checked a youtube video for an easier way to do it because it was unreasonably difficult and I was only on Hard, not Nightmare. Lo and behold, you can move your guys around like it's a PC game with the upper left icon in the pause wheel. Holy fucking balls, that's made things much easier, especially considering the combat just keeps getting harder in the second act.
Was that feature available in Origins? Did I play all of Origins and Awakenings on Hard without knowing about that? I'll admit that Origins was easy enough without it that it didn't matter much, but am I really that oblivious?

I will never forget the time I learned about "priming" in Tekken 6. Basically you hold down one button in preparation to press two buttons at the same time.
It helped me with a mix-up with Alisa where you do a move using Back+Square, then another one which is Diagonal Forward+Square+Triangle.
It also helped me predict what kind of throws people would go for depending on what moves they did. Like if I see someone throwing left punches, I can predict they're going for the throw where the left hand reaches out, and this allows me to break them.

I was half way through the first island in Farcry 3 before i noticed that spots where i can find different types of animals were marked on the map. That made the game a lot easier since i could craft some bags for ammo and carry 4 weapons at once.
Running out of ammo every 5 minutes was beginning to annoy me.
Captcha: 'call me maybe', really?
