What are some games that require you to take notes or do things outside of the game itself?
Like play with sound files or the game files, or look for informations, scan codes, that kind of stuff.

Morrowind, when I was fixing the walking speed so that 100 SPD doesn't make regular walk animation look like it's going on fast forward.
La-Mulana is the obvious one that comes to mind. I had a great deal of fun completing the game without resorting to any guides and just using my own notes/maps.
The Secret World has puzzles that require accessing in-universe websites with an actual web browser and other examples of research. The Egypt region has a puzzle where you have to translate between Arabic and Hebrew and English, again manually. Other translation/decoding/cipher puzzles also exist and have to be manually solved.
Oh and I hope you know Morse code because you will have to solve some of that manually; the game doesn't give you some fancy auto-translator gimmick device or anything.
Environmental Station Alpha
It's La Mulana once you reach the post game minus the super cryptic parts.
pic related: The notes I took while playing, don't read too much if you want to play.

Now I want a game that comes with a dank leather bound journal that I'll actually need to complete my first playthrough. Then afterwards I'll have this kickass memoir of my journey.
Or a little e-ink drawing tablet that syncs with the console or plugs into the controller.
There was some game, where like I think there was a radio and people were listening to it and it gave like coordinates in game
I forgot the game, god dammit
Flower Sun and Rain
Fuck that game, couldn't get past the first level
>>331880705
>dank
Fuck off.
>>331878689
This. Normal waling is like shiting on your pants with each step.
>>331881180
That's not a very dank attitude, anon.
>>331878482
Metal Gear Solid makes you have to take a look at the cd box to get a codec number
>>331878482
last game where I used a notebook was Legend of Grimrock, on some of the puzzles
>>331880915
>Fuck that game, couldn't get past the first level
This, But only because I pirated it.
>>331878482
Myst,
La Mulana, definitely.
i have some notes from when i was playing the zero escape series
>>331878482
most crpgs tend to cause me to do this, daggerfall especially
the most recent game i can think of would probably be the witness but you only needed like 10-15 lines so that you can remember how it works if you stop playing and come back to it after a while
play older p&cs
Remember the autistic retards that bought empty notebooks for SKYRIM of all things?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Keep talking and nobody explodes requires the advisors to take notes on the higher level bombs.
Talos Principle requires you to scan an ingame QR code with your phone and decipher a website to 100% the game.
Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald required you to decipher Braille for three legendary pokemon.
Lots of old school dungeon crawlers (and modern ones too) either require you to draw your own maps or give you the option to do so.
>>331883025
I didn't buy a journal for Skyrim, but I printed out a map of skyrim and did not use the ingame map at all. So if I was off the main roads I'd navigate by finding landmarks like rivers and high mountains. It was actually fun and made the game much better.
>>331881180
>>331881180
theres a lot of shit i can tolerate, but i cant deal with lenny faces, pepe, wojak, doge, or the word dank
it sounds like a lot, but everything is a meme at this point. i feel you brother
>>331883125
Yeah but it gave you the braille alphabet in the manual anon

Enjoy your ban. Come back in 6 years.
Black Watchmen. I only played the demo but you had to decrypt stuff and search for information on actual non ingame websites which was really cool. I heard that on higher levels there are some tasks that you have to perform in real life, but I'm not sure how it works.
>>331887671
You're too new.

He didnt read the meme rulebook
>>331888320
>>331888409
There's no meme rulebook

>he doesn't know
>>331888287
>Black Watchmen
Fun fact: it started off as a tie-in ARG to >>331879513
any game where I look for a specific achievement
like get to some kind of level
I watch the required EXP for the next level and make graphs out of it
some adventure games /rpg where there's a dialogue selection screen, I always note my awnser (and try to find patterns)
some other games where I find a locked chest/corridor/whatever, write down the location, the hour, the party, the textbox
a regular player can make it without all this trash, but I enjoy it

The second game especially. It has a bunch of passwords that you need to either use the in game Note tool or just on paper or something. I still have all the passwords in a note on my phone from when I played the game for the first time 2 years ago.
One cool thing about the in-game note tool is that whatever you wrote can get degraded and harder to read the more you jump around paths.
>>331889927
>last sentence
shit, really? thats radical
i never used the in-game notes so i never noticed
i love those games
If you play Grimrock on classic difficulty you have to make your own map on grid paper or get lost
Ingress
>>331890019
I've been replaying the game and jumping around to puzzles and endings I want to play again. I wrote a bunch of stuff and watching it degrade over time is really cool.
Also I forgot how much the dice puzzle in the Q room fucking sucks.
>>331888158
>Myst
>Riven
>Myst III
>Myst IV
>Uru
>Myst V
This still fucking bothers me. You can't fucking call Myst V Myst V if Uru is Myst V, especially after calling Myst II Riven but the next one is Myst III and not Myst II

Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake force you to learn to tap code in your booklet in order to advance the plot.

1)
>The Sequel to Myst
2)
Myst V was made when Cyan was on the bring of collapse due to Uru bombing, in order to tie up Uru's story (and by extension that of the series as a whole). In fact, they actually let go all of the staff after Myst V's release, but a literal last-minute cash infusion from Turner Broadcasting allowed Cyan to rehire almost everyone.

Submachine Universe had me taking a lot of different notes about portal codes. It gets updated every few years too
>>331888158
Have you tried Schizm: Mysterious Journey? It's the same kind of game as Myst, but makes latter seem like kindergarten material.
>>331878482
>mfw all those fuckers on Reddit kept a Skyrim journal when it was just released
Zelda 1
Metroid 1 and 2
most of the earlier exploration games before they got absorbed further into the action genre. Personally I prefer a more map-heavy experience.
