How the fuck were you supposed to know to jump into the paintings?
My 5 year old brother managed to button mash his way into a painting.
You can jump into the paintings?
Where did videogames go wrong?
There are no genuine surprises in vidya anymore.
>>329671787
I didn't know you could jump into the paintings.
Because you end up moving close to it and it reacts. Your instinct of jumping into it makes you get in.
>>329671787
I'm pretty sure a Toad or sign told you.
>jump into the paintings
What the fuck, you can do this?
>>329672202
This.
Toad mentions something going into the painting.
I believe if you let the menu sit it also shows Mario jump into a painting.
The manual also mentioned paintings and secret areas.
but first
>you can jump into the paintings
You can actually go into the paintings?
No-one told me.

>>329672148

ITT retards who don't read manuals.
Either toad told you, you realized it moved like water when you touched it so you said what the heck lets jump on it, or you ran around in circles wondering why these giant paintings are in every room and you have nothing to do and you want to slap your friend for saying it's a fun game.
>>329671787
>jump into the painting
>it takes you to another level
holy shit
i never knew
>>329671787
It wobbled like crazy if you touched it
toads told you about it
instruction manual
>>329672462
This was my literal experience with that fucking time traveling Mario game.
>>329671970
you're parents must be fucked up to have a 5 year old and an at least 18 year old, ASSUMING you are respecting the rules of this board
>>329672439
There was a manual?
>>329671787
>try this right now
>it actually works
All these years, wasted.
You walk into a room, there is nothing but a giant painting4 times your size on 1 wall. And just 1 guy there, who if you fucking talked to will tell you to "go into the painting" and you are seriously asking how the fucking you were supposed to know where to go?
>>329672580
You are an idiot.
>>329671787
>jump into the painting
WHY DID I NEVER TRY THIS?
How the fuck were you supposed to know to know that an A press is an A press?
>>329672683
no im just an incorrigible prankster.
Good design. You can only access like, what, two rooms at the start? The other rooms are locked by an X-star sign. The two rooms have a BIG ASS painting in the middle that wobbles when you go near it.
As a non-native English speaker, even the different stars in the levels made sense. Let me tell you why, BUT FIRST
There are only two bob-bombs in the painting, that thing to the left is just a black blotch
>jump into the painting
WTF it actually works??
>>329671787
When I first started playing I didn't. It wasn't until a couple days later (I was like 7 at the time) I realized the paintings kind of rippled when you stood beside them. Although I wasn't playing it constantly up until that point, I'd kind of run around a bit looking for shit to do, then get frustrated and play star fox for a bit.
>>329672313
>implying I could read when I first played Mario 64
I button mashed my way into the painting. If you get close by don't chu in it giggles.
>>329672713
That doesn't negate the fact you are an idiot.
>>329672709

Glad you learned to read.
Work on writing next.

What sound do they make?
>video game has paintings
>you can jump into them
>>329671787
This is actually kind of a good question. 3-year-old me couldn't read. I don't know how I figured that out.

Most recently, Dragon Dogma was a good example. It had a lot of little mechanics that were mostly left for player to find out.
>>329672950
yes it does.

How the fuck were you supposed to know this was a meme thread?
>>329673589
is this the forward slash vee guy?
>>329673387
What did he mean by this?
>>329673065
BREE BREP BROOP REE AREE
>>329673497
No it doesn't
>>329673497
You're proving my point.
>>329674926
>>329675159
in what way?
You knew to jump into the pictures because they were animated and moved like water. The beautiful thing about making games is that you don't need to be so boring and explicit by giving the player flat out instructions. A good game designer subtly lead the player to do what must be done.
Six year olds were capable of figuring it out, get your shit together, /v/.
>>329672439
>implying the children ITT didn't just play 5 minutes of it on a shitty emulator before ragequitting and saying it "aged like milk" or some bullshit.
>>329675317
Guy with the brother here, this happened almost 2 decades ago. I dunno what your point was at all, my auntie got me on MS-DOS games when I was 5, this is a pretty normal thing to do supervising a child playing and seeing their reactions.
>>329675697
You touch the wall bellow a painting, the painting ripples. It's sad how this generation won't understand why, or that developers will use subtly any more.
Inb4 too hard for testers.
>>329672439
What's a manual?
>>329671787
>this shit thread again
fuck you
The tv commercials showed me
>>329672439
You can read manuals?
>>329678996
>if Mario 64 were released today, there'd be reviews on sites like IGN and Gamespot where the reviewer would have a whole three paragraphs dedicated to "and then I was just LOCKED in this empty room with NOTHING to even tell me how to get to the first level. I was in there for TWENTY MINUTES before, sighing, I called up our Nintendo representative and they told me to jump into the painting. This is just unacceptable"
>>329671787
Because you had been reading previews in Nintendo Magazine System
>>329672148
Because within hours of a game being released all of the secrets get posted by people who received an early copy or datamined the game's files.
>>329672819There are no bob-ombs, it's just paint in the shape of bob-ombs
>>329671787
Bait or colossal autist?
>>329672313
How were you supposed to know you could talk to Toads?
How were you supposed to know you could do something other than press start on the menu?
How were you supposed to know to read the manual?
>walk near a painting
>it ripples
>"wow, they must not be all that stable! Guess I'll try jumping into them!"
Logical deduction.
>>329682320
bait, ya doingus
>>329672580
its possible he was talking about past events you twit
>>329672580
fuck me you are either baiting so hard or you are the most dense fucking cunt on this board
