What has the last game you played taught you?

[Chickenfeed]

As the title implies, what has the last game you have played taught you?

It can be serious, or if it hasn't taught you anything ground breaking just find something remotely interesting.

For example, Dead Space 2 has taught me that if I am ever low on cash, I just need to go and stamp somebodies head into a bloody pulp until some money comes out. Probably not something that will help me in the long run, but nevertheless...

Check for traps. Bring a Medic. Aways.

Eve Online: Don't fly what you can't afford to lose.
I've learned more, actually, from that game. Like: Assume everyone is about to target and shoot you.
It's rough sometimes. But dang it, it's pretty cool.

 

[Sonicron]

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade has taught me that it takes more than dropping two squads of Terminators into an enemy base to deal with a full-scale Waaaaaaaagh!.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

Halo:Reach has taught me that I'm much better at Deathmatches before, not after, I go to the pub.

Fallout:NV had taught me that with a little know-how geckos can be a valuable source of nutrition.

And finally, Monkey Island 2 has taught me that voodoo dolls are more trouble than they're worth.

Spray and pray with a Glock does not work all that well.

Monday Night Combat:

When playing Assassin, never grapple kill a Support if he's got a Firebase nearby (unless you have a death wish).

Jagged Alliance 2

Check for traps. Bring a Medic. Aways.

Also... umm... I forget... I forget again.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Stella from Dragon Quest 9. Every time I check the Battle Records page she accuses me of cheating since I have never been defeated from the boss/ monster. Maybe it is the fact I check the boss info beforehand and level grind so I don't get defeated.

If you're a god, for the love of all that is holy, don't give a Spartan powers and then piss him off.

I raise your jagged alliance with a Silent Storm.

Mechs DO NOT WORK IN WORLD WAR 2.

damn you silent storm.. you were so fun before that mission..

 

[endnuen]

That stealing a commercial airliner that is about to take off is apparently the less troublesome way of getting out of a country that is hunting you..

Spoiler

Kane & Lynch 2, you did a great job, but the ending there, that sort of fell down flat for the whole getaway thing. Especially when you start the mission with a silenced pistol and try to sneak away

 

[rokkolpo]

Wolves don't attack you when you're wearing holy boots.

Someone ought to know this.
