After 70+ hours I learned about the cover system in Fallout 4.
http://gearnuke.com/fallout-4-heres-fire-weapon-cover/#
Have you ever overlooked an "important" game mechanic /v/?
>>320125329
>play x game for 30 hours
>find out there is a sprint button
>play x game for 40 hours
>find out there is a tripod mount action when prone
>play x game for 100 hours
>find out there is a auto-lock on feature
fuck everyone of them.
In 3D Dot Game Heroes, the boomerang being able to stun. Shit would've been really handy at points.
Fallout 4 as well. After level 20, I realized you could scroll down the perks menu with the mouse
Didn't know how to link arts in chain attacks in Xenoblade until after I beat the game
>>320125329
you have to stealth in mgs v , this is not criticism its a good thing to play how you want
I did not know you could brake in Rocket League until i was a pro offline.
>>320125329
the cover in fallout 4 sucks ass. I wouldn't even call it a cover system at all. Other FPS had aiming around corners like this, don't be fooled
>>320125532
Please tell me
>>320125854
I'm used to older fps games were you lean with Q and E.
This feature is no longer that common though.
>>320125438
You are just stupid
>>320125532
I didn't either.
>>320125984
Yeah, whatever happened to that?
I didn't know you had to sleep to level up in Oblivion. I only found out on my second playthrough
>>320125434
arma 3?
>>320126341
Not enough buttons on a controller.
>>320126397
insurgency
>>320126407
>>320126341
Games aren't balanced for lean.
>>320125532
>>320126137
But when you use the same color the multiplier went up. How hard was that to think that if you did it again it would go higher? The only thing I would get would that you said that you didn't know that the colorless one increases the combo too and allows you to pick a different color art while keeping the multiplier up.
It's another tacked on feature that doesn't even work because you STILL get shot through walls when you're using cover.
>>320126341
Consoles killed that feature on multiplats. You have to play something like Insurgency that was made with PC in mind.
>Finishing my second playthrough of Dark Souls
>Realise there's lock on
I still don't use it
>>320126343
How many hours in that first playthrough?
>>320125434
>Play X game for 3500 hours
>Find out its bad
Why does it happen to me so often?
>>320126740
>>320126809
I use it only when parrying. Fighting bosses unlocked gives much more freedom of movement and rolling at the cost of some camera view fuck ups
>>320126909
Our brains trick us into having fun while fun isn't even real.
>>320125329
You know how your armor consists of arm and leg, chest, head and then a slot for a "base" clothing (like dirty army fatigues for example)? Well apparently, you can modify the base for massive defense buffs. Just learned this yesterday, 100 hours in.
>grognak costume fucked me up
I didn't know you could repair guns in fallout 3 until like my 3rd playthrough. Literally all my money went to having flak and shrapnel repair my chinese assault rifle. Even before I knew I could repair I maxed out the repair skill because I thought it was for slowing down weapon degradation not actual repair. The memory makes me consider seppuku desu.
Team members get a third form of Persona if you hang out with them in January
>>320125329
I managed to finish Batman: Arkham Origins without realising that you could shoot the batrope at an enemy's head and slide down to take them out with a kick. I don't feel stupid though as this proves I am a pro gamer who has fucked all of your mothers.
>>320126018
I'm not argueing that it's not stupid to not realize that, you trog.
>Finish MGR:R
>Find out there is a dodge mechanic
>>320126341
Because it encourages camping
>>320126995
if there was a soft lock mode I'd use that
>>320127102
You are a million layers of fucking dumb
>>320127231
That would've been so useful when fighting Mr. Nanomachines unarmed on Revengeance difficulty.
After 10 Minutes I learned that Fallout 4 is a shit game
I didn't know you can fuck animals in Skyrim. I only found out on my second playthrough
>>320127234
>because it encourages thoughtful, realistic combat strategy instead of muh twitch shoots
Ever notice how Japanese games are especially bad about this sort of thing? Like just straight up not telling you abut essential mechanics or having actively misleading in-game information about them?
I mean I love their games but come on.
People playing Xenoblade X don't know you can upgrade skills
I learnt you can put 4 custom soul voices like 50 hours in
>>320125329
Played the first Silent Hill for a couple of hours without realizing you could run.
>>320125329
i didn't notice i had molerat disease until i was nearly finished every quest, then i remembered i did the stupid vault quest and now i am just permanently down 10 HP
I found out a couple days ago after years of playing Fallout 3/NV that holding Tab makes your Pip Boy light up to use as a flashlight.
>>320127496
Platinum games in particular, unfortunately.
>>320126639
Well shit man, I dunno, I never really understood why it went up. I always just assumed that the skills were color coded by their use (control, damage, support, healing skills and the like) and that's it.
>>320127475
If you like boring camping and realism so much, join the army
I didn't know how to accept quests in WoW and was too embarrassed to ask anyone or look online so I made it to 60 in Vanilla just killing enemies til they went grey. I also didn't know how to chat so I used to just pretend I was part of random conversations people where having in trade.
Leveling up in KHI was 5 years old at the time
>>320127814
>5 years old at KH release.
I need to leave this place.
>>320127763
I applaud you for your autism.
>>320127763
Holy shit anon, you're just plain dumb
Played through the entirety of Drakengard without knowing that you could lock on to enemies while riding the dragon.
>>320127761
People like you are why every call of duty after 4 has sucked Patton's asshole clean.

I generally skip tutorial sections in favor of just feeling out the controls but I actually went through Dark Souls without ever knowing about the jumping heavy attack. Went through the tedium of a SL1 run and everything and only found out about it when I started playing it through again.
>>320126917
I will never get tired of this webm.
>>320127987
>Call of duty 4 was good
>-any of the call of dutys were good
Why is such shit taste tolerated on this board?
>>320128116
I didnt know that Bloodborne had R2 rolling and dodge attacks until recently.
>>320127987
call of duty 4 was not realistic, get a grip
>>320128563
Not by ARMA standards, but it was a lot less arcade ready than any subsequent entry.
>>320127763
Why would you lie on the internet? No one is that dumb.
>>320127153
the only hard part in Origins is Deathstroke.
>play a game for 80 hours
>realize its not that great and not worth my time
whats her name, /v/?
>>320125984
to be fair leaning wasn't that common to begin with
>>320129201
Morrowind back in '03. After my first playthrough I realised all the npc's had the same shitty encyclopaedia entries in place of dialogue and enchanting broke the game.
>>320127003
your entire perception of everything is a trick of your mind
>>320127003
how can fun be real when our brains aren't real
>>320129201
Skyrim. After realizing it's actually really bland and repetitive, had to drop it and can't even be arsed to play it with a different style or race
You can hold [E] to drink continuously.
I never really had trouble figuring out mechanics. Although the time I got fucked over hard was the butterfly outfit in DS2... All the aggro NPCs...
>>320127978
How did you beat the game?
It's funny that people are constantly finding new things in this game and it was the same situation with Skyrim, but the discoveries are treated as neat little sidenotes and not the massive failures on Bethesda's part that they are.
>>320129762
I didn't learn this until NV and i shat myself and died in that instant. I am dead.
>>320129762
Dude what the fuck.
I beat dark souls without realising there was a lock on. I played the tutorial, quit for a few weeks, then got into the game so had forgotten the lock on tip from tutorial.
I never ever used "leaning" in FPS games so far.
As for recent stuff, the whole water and fuel mechanics in Mad Max can be completely ignored.
>>320130961
>As for recent stuff, Mad Max can be completely ignored.
ftfy
I somehow beat most of Tron 2.0 without realising that you can block with your disc.
>>320125329
>Finish MGS3 for the first time
>Look through the menus to see if there's any extra stuff to do
>Look at tutorials because why not
>See CQC
>Sudden realisation that I never once used CQC in my entire playthrough
>Remember how I struggled beating The Boss and ended up just using an RPG
I hate myself
Not me, but my friend overlooked that you could use an MT to light up the caves in the first pokemon.
She went through all caves making maps.
She also didn't realise that in Kingdom Heart you can change the MC's main weapon with the new ones they hand to you and went with the initial weapon near the end of the game.
>>320125434
>play x game for 30 hours
>find out there is a sprint button
let me guess, skyrim?
>>320129201
Witcher 3, but only after 50 hours. I shouldn't have done side shit.
my buddy beat metal gear rising without ever parrying
>>320129201
Persona 3 which is a shame because it was 7 years before I realised the other atlus games are actually good
>>320125329
>>320125524
please tell me you're joking
>>320125854
would've preferred leaning with Q & E too but it's better than nothing, esp. because enemies use it
>>320131325
desu CQC was pretty hidden in mgs3, there weren't ANY in game prompts to it, and you would probably only know about it if you dug through the menu
I didn't beat the game, but as a kid I didn't use my PC in pokemon red until like...Misty. I had a charmander, a pidgey, a rattata, caterpie, geodude, and zubat. It took a kid at school to tell me that there was a PC to swap out my pokemon. My retarded child mind was blown.
>>320127610
I only figured this out during Fallout 4 after playing 3 and nv for at least 200 hours each. I'm a fucking idiot.
>>320126407
yet Rainbow Six: Siege has lean ... check mate atheist!
>>320132039
>persona 3
>not worth your time
is this bait? it's one of the best jrpgs ever made. Did you get stuck or something?
>>320125329
I realized that The Order had a slowmotion button only when reading about it in the trophies after finishing the game. I mean, i know there's a section of the game that forces you to use it but I didn't realized it was a triggered ability, I thought it was scripted, it's pretty often in modern vidya
I was very confused by the inventory system in the first Mass Effect when I first started out, think I was on Virmire by the time I figured it all out.
I was well into double digits, probably close to triple digits playtime until I realized you could select a character to act in Kamidori.
And then sometime later I started upgrading clothes.
i didn't know, but my right analoge stick on my ps2 controller was broken
so i played through godhand all the way to the last boss without dodging once
then the triangle button broke, and when I switched to my spare controller with a broken start button, I realized I could dodge and beat the last boss in under a minute
and no, i don't abuse my controllers, they are just VERY old
>play dark souls for 20 hours
>find out there's a sprint button
>>320131651
>She also didn't realise that in Kingdom Heart you can change the MC's main weapon with the new ones they hand to you and went with the initial weapon near the end of the game
this was me, only I never found out and finished the game with Kingdom Key
in fact, I didn't even find out about it until six years after the games release on mythirdplaythrough
>>320132529
>he played The Order
I dont know how long, but I know it took a while for me to learn you could sell more than one object at a time in Animal Crossing.
>>320125854
No-one's saying it's a new idea, it's just good to know it's there.
>>320127310
I know anon....I know
>>320125329
I played through Deus Ex HR without a crosshair. Didn't even know I had the option until I saw a video a few weeks later.
>>320125329
I beat Splinter Cell Chaos Theory multiple times before figuring out Sam's pistol can disable electronics temporarily.
You can scope the Mako in Mass Effectyou get more xp if you kill stuff while outside the Mako
it's useless because bethesda's engine has shitty gun mechanics
>shoot at guy that I have a clear sightline to
>hits world and not guy
also it teleports you
>>320125984
I think call of duty still does this
CTRL + SPACE
>>320125329
I never used the slow motion feature in FEAR. Game was too easy even without it.
>>320125329
You can teleport across rooms using this on certain walls and pillars. I don't know why it works but it's happened to me 3 or 4 times at 80 hours in.
>>320138575
The fact that the zoom button is fucking SHIFT of all things doesn't help
>>320125329
The favorites system is present in Fallout 3 and NV. I found out about it after I had already completed both. Well before Fallout 4 at least.
>there are people ITT right now who don't memorize/change keybindings first thing after launching a game for the first time
>>320138689
is this mountain blade?
because I played through that game twice and didn't find out about the sim speed increase until the 3rd time around
so many wasted hours....
>captcha: click all the mountains
>>320141692
The cover system is dynamic
In Dark Souls I completely forgot to use the Pendant against Manun's dark magic attacks until NG+
>>320125329
good OP, i just found out about uninstall button after 100 hours
>>320132518
I like the dungeons of the persona games, but I really find all the school shit obnoxious. That's the main reason I can never complete a persona game.
>>320126505
You didn't know you could sprint in insurgency? Funny about the tripod thing, you know you can do it while crouched too thought right? Against a window seal or wall or w.e
>>320132518
>pedo dating sim
>best jrpg
yeah nah
In Fallout 4, I thought you had to max each tier in order to get to the next one. I reached level 40 before I figured out otherwise.
>>320142962
>he doesn't appreciate the erotic art form of loli
>>320129040
Yeah if you're a fucking retard who doesn't know how to counter over and over and over while he performs literally the exact same animation nonstop until the next phase where it changes slightly.
I had no idea MGR had a lock on until I replayed it
>>320127145
>3rd
>>320129762
Not on mine, I hold E and nothing happens. I end up just having to fucking tap E until my HP is full. Good thing it's pointless outside of the Institute
>>320125524
I thought I was the only one this fucking retarded
>>320125329
It took me over 3 playthroughs of MGS3 to discover that you can use the d-pad to move silently.
>>320127102
A pop-up menu automatically comes up with a detailed guide on how to repair your weapon when the durability goes down.
>>320126740
>lastest wolfenstein games had more than 2 weapons and leaning.
glad to know you don't know what you're talking about.
How about that fact that it's a underused feature that only the neckiest of the neckbeards care about.
>>320143735
I think he meant in new vegas/3
not sure if you can do it in 4
>>320132868
PS2 controllers are shit. I had 2 randomly die on me just sitting in a drawer. The first one the stick got locked into only reading left and the second one just straight up failed in every way.
Xenoblade X is the first "MMO" type game that I've played and I'm having a lot of trouble trying to find out what certain skills mean like Blaze or Supercharge. I just found out about Soul Voices, so there's that at least.
After I beat Metal Gear Rising I found out that I could do a dodge / attack to avoid getting hit. I was just running away from enemies and bosses with the ninja run.
>>320127102
THERE'S A GODDAMN PROMPT ON THE WEAPONS TAB THAT SAYS REPAIR.
>>320132868
That picture is fucking hilarious.
>>320126809
The game shows you this in the tutorial area though...
I did not realize I could boost my summons by tapping square (?) until after I beat FF8 and had done all the optional things.
>>320132212
>desu CQC was pretty hidden
Don't they give you a tutorial on it at the beginning of the game?
It's been a few years, so I might not be remembering correctly.
>>320144793
This.
Leaning in most games I remember in the late 90s and early 2000s was really ineffective, most often because the lean distance was so short that your lower body is still exposed anyway when you peek out. That, and leaning was usually paired with reduced movement speed if not an inability to move while leaning.
In any multiplayer environment, manual leaning is often too slow and clunky unless you're camped up in some distant corner. Any active, close quarters setting, you should just step out to check and step back. That it also takes up two keys to perform is also a significant hindrance, if the game has any degree of other movement options, controlling leaning and other basic movement functions without some peculiar key configurations is very janky.
Only a few tactical games had effective leaning mechanics, and with the exception of ARMA, you could ignore leaning even in those. ARMA 3's stance system is pretty good.

In Dark Souls, I forgot to equip the Lantern when walking through the entirety of the bone zone. I thought it was just suppose to be that dark.
Played and beat bloodborn with out gun parry
>>320125757
Jesus. At that rate you probably don't know these,
-There's a key to look behind you
-Hold forward and double tap jump to flip forward, it makes you gain speed, good for when you're out of boost
-You get purple streaks behind you when you're at max speed, wasting boost won't make you go any faster
-The default power slide key is also the same key for aerial roll, rotating around the z-axis instead of y. Good for landing on your wheels

My 11 yr old nephew had to show me how to change weapons of the same type in gtaV, ie if I have more than 1 type of shotgun.
prior to this I was throwing away the weapon I didn't want to use.he showed me on a 360 padI still cant do it with keyboardI never used spoiler tags before and I don't know if these will work
>>320126505
You're either fucking dumb or never played a shooter oon pc before.
I didn't find out that DT in DMC3 gave you health regen until the final fight against Vergil.
>>320127159

Thanks, for some reason i did know all this except the axis roll. How i survived without i'll never know.
>>320125524

>>320132175
Why would anyone think to look down the sights while standing in front of a corner unless they already knew to do so, you cunt?
>>320126018
sauce pls
>>320147962
I don't think so. At least not in the original release.
I only remember The Boss telling you to remember CQC at the final fight.
>tfw no mod to romance mcnamara
god damn it I just want to move into vault 81 and start overpopulating it with her

Next time you decide it's a good idea to make a webm, just stop and kill yourself instead.
alt + f4 on 4chan
not even trolling, I just found this out the other day! Not sure how I have been using this site with out it.
