Pro tips for puzzle solving like a non-faggot:
>Identify every element in your arsenal. Every item, every ability.
>Identify every element in play with the level or the puzzle. Break things into steps.
>Ask "Why" for everything you see.
"Why was this X placed here?"
"Why did the artist design this area's visuals this way?"
"Why did the sound designer put this audio cue here?"
>Try every solution twice. Sometimes you will be very close to the right solution but your execution was off by a small margin. Sometimes a little brute force is necessary
>Do your best to think outside the box. Try solutions you've ruled out or ones that you've dismissed. Try things you wouldn't normally do or expect to do in the game.
>Think about what elements the developer has groomed you to (player training, they call it) and which ones they haven't.
>Write stuff down. Draw out diagrams.
>Take a break.

I was mad as fuck that was the solution, it made no fucking sense. The spin attack is fast, still has the sword out, and the sharp object points out. I spent like an hour at least trying to figure it out before I looked up the dumb ass solution.

Not him but the letter doesn't say "click-drag on the item when viewing it in inventory to look at other angles". Hell it doesn't even say that in the UI either.

At least the LucasArts ones didn't punish you as badly like the Sierra ones, and tended to have more "sensible" puzzles.
After a few of LucasArts games I stared getting the hang of them, but Sierra ones were so devious and there were plenty of ways to make your progress unwinnable.
The only company close to LucasArts in terms of puzzles that for the most part you can solve is Daedalic Entertainment. Just like the later LucasArts games I was able to get through the Deponia games without looking up too many hints.

I had to Google the braille in Pokémon Ruby. How was I supposed to know that was braille? If I was blind I wouldn't be playing a video game.
The green orb/chandelier puzzle in Out of this World is awful.
So there's this guard on a lower floor that is blocking your path. A couple screens above him there's this little gap where you can shoot at this orb suspended from the ceiling. You can see a little reflection of the guard pacing around and when you shoot it, it makes a loud sound and falls to the ground. It takes a couple seconds before it makes its "hit_the_floor", and since the guard will flee the instant you break the chandelier's cord and it starts to fall the logical solution is to time it so when the orb hits the ground, he'll be in the right spot. Nope. You have to wait until he stands still. Then when you shoot the orb, he doesn't flinch, even though he should be able to hear it just fine. It's really awful. It sort of ruins the game for me.

I died several hundred times here trying to get the trinket, since I was too stupid to realize what the real strategy was.
Because of the name of the screen (filename related), I thought that the intended strategy was to warp around the sides at the same time one of the fishy things did, so that you would avoid hitting it. I actually got the warping around to work once every ten or so tries, which further misled me. I felt so retarded after seeing a video on youtube that used the actual way to do it.
This room alone probably took up a third or a fourth of the time I took to beat the game.
>>342474351
Yeah, the development with Tia was surprisingly mature for a kid's game. I remember being so shocked back then that I wasn't able to use or even talk to her after the wedding. Pretty heavy stuff.

VVVVVV, and it's not a puzzle. But even though it wasn't a puzzle, I still had to google it.
The part where a guy followed you was kind of puzzle-y, though.
Pokemon Red when you need to give the guard some consumable that's sold in one place that you be unlikely to have in your inventory by accident. Ended up skipping Saffron City, going all the way to Cinebarre, then wandering around the game for months talking to every NPC trying to figure out where the fuck needed to go.
I was only at like 10 or something, but even then I assumed that I must need to give the guards some key item that I hadn't found yet
>>342475379
I don't get it, a lot of people seem to have gone to the catacombs first and missed the stairs when it was the complete opposite for me, I felt really fucking stupid when I realized there was a cemetery back there

I didn't google it, but I remember being kind of stumped by a puzzle in Ass Creed Black Flag. It was the one where you had to match blocks representing prey to plates representing predators.
I thought I had to anaylze the blocks and match them to the correct predator based on the animal.
I did this for a couple minutes until I realised I literally just had to match the red block to the red plate.
I just thought it was less stupid than it turned out to be.

The first time I fought this guy, I didn't think to try shooting his eyes because I had tried shooting the eyes of previous colossi and nothing happened for them. The logic was sound: if it didn't work for them, it must not work for him, so don't bother. So I ended up shooting for the other big bright glowing part of him: his mouth. By some freak occurrence, the first shot I took at his mouth must have hit his eyes, which I didn't notice, sending him into his vulnerable state. So, it implanted in my head that the mouth was the intended weakpoint. I then spent the next two hours trying to get another shot in his mouth to make him vulnerable.

>>342476524
They did end up removing it from the remix.
I guess in retrospect, it seems very likely that a child would either not happen to examine the vending machine, are not remember it in particular considering how much useless junk there was in Pokemon.
I know that the scenario of getting a thirsty person a drink isn't confusing at all, but from a gameplay perspective it's one of the more odd non-optional things you need to do in Pokemon.
>>342477213
That's why my solution of having vending machines be a thing that are everywhere is the ideal solution.

I've seen several people say the same thing.
Honestly it's hard to imagine myself not trying to shoot into those giant eyes at least once early on. Especially since you have unlimited arrows and can try whatever
>>342477213
I never had a problem with it and I was in kindergarten when the game came out. Literally all the guards tell you they're parched and would love a drink. When you get to the top of the mart in celadon the NPC's tell you about the vending machine too so you'd know to check it if you bothered talking with them.

I had to google the solution to the last puzzle in VLR because the instructions made no goddamn sense, and lo-and-behold when I found the solution to the puzzle it was the fucking opposite of what the words were telling me to do
>>342472391
>one last note after the screen goes black
>>342477621
I like to think that the younger you are when you played it, the less likely you are to get tripped up on that part. When I played it I was well-versed in RPG tropes, so I made the assumption that some key item or event would show up that would allow me to progress instead of buying a consumable to see if that would work. Really, I can't think of many RPGs that require you to buy some consumable to progress.

With that, the effects of pressing down are more immediately noticeable while the barrel requires you to hold up and down for a while before you see it's working.
Also there are other barrels, before and after the one everyone hates, that don't have any special function for pressing a direction.

I tried everything, jumping from the far column by rolling, playing the song of time next to the wall, baiting some skulls to hit me mid air, tried to reach it with hookshot... I gave up for 2 months and went to do water temple and gerudo's fortress.
Then my father said: why don't you just try jumping?
"Naaah it won't work..."
boy was I retarded

king's quest 6 took me about a year, kq 7 is easy as fuck, it doesn't even have fail states like the rest of them, so it was less than a month. space quest 5 is also somewhat easy and it's short, so i think it was about 3 months. Larry 6 is one my least favorite sierra games, but i've powered through it in about 6 months. I didn't actually play QFG3 (thought it was 4 for some reason, which i did finish).
Of course trial and error was a part of it, but that was the fun back then. We used to have a lot more patience.

I hate when you look shit up and the answer is right in front of you. Sometimes in Zelda games it is a very obvious thing, you just need to use an item you haven't used since the second dungeon. The Zant fight, for example. Fuck the boomerang.
this puzzle has stopped me from completing RE4 twice in my lifetime.
i just didn't bother.
once on PS2 and once on Wii.
eventually finished it in 2014 on PCafter looking up the puzzle.

Use the koopa shell retard.
>>342469179
Depends on the puzzle.
Some are solvable trough trial and error and before I do that, I straight up google the solution. (those "free the princess" riddles from Layton is a good example. You COULD technically plan out every step before actually doing one or just brute force but that's boring and unsatisfying)
If it's one of those you have to solve by just "getting" it, I ponder for days before giving in.

>the letter for the quest
thats a weird way of saying "hold W while the quest arrow is in the center of the compass"

I forgot about the door to the lower Burg, after I killed the gargoyles I went to the Catacombs and Tomb of Giants. I reach the dead end and then I have to climb all the way back up because I didn't have the teleport ability yet. When I got back up I went to New Londo until I ran out of the hands and couldn't damage the ghosts anymore. Then I was stuck until someone here told me where to go, though I guess I could have just gone through the valley of drakes

What the hell are you on about? The Chocobo Sage tells you everything you need to do.
Other M's fucking pixel hunts
3 times in pic related.Over the course of 3 hours. In 3 separate levels.
I don't know if I just blow at these scavenger hunt metroidvania games but I see why people like them. I really want to like this game (especially because it has charm in a cheesy way) but it's annoying how often I had to look at a guide for some of this shit.Yeah okay I'll just slap that ham on the spit with my hair a few times, that's how you get it cooking right?
Keyhunts at the end of the Metroid Prime games. Seriously, fuck those things.
I don't that anyone beats on Hill 3 with the puzzles on hard. Imagine you have a keypad and the following. How the hell ? (not going to bother formatting this paste)
Pure eyes, blue like a glassy bead —You are always looking at meand I am always looking at you.Ah, you're too meek —beautiful, unspoiled:thus I'm so sad, I suffer —and so happy, it hurts.I want to hurt youand destroy myselfWhat you would thinkif you knew how I felt.Would you simply smile,not saying a word?Even curses from your mouthwould be as beautiful as pearls.I place my left hand on yourface as though we were to kiss.Then I suddenly shove my thumbdeep into your eyesocket.Abruptly, decisively,like drilling a hole.And what would it feel like?Like jelly?Trembling with ecstasy, I obscenelymix it around and around: I musttaste the warmth of your blood.How would you scream?Would you shriek "It hurts!It hurts!" as cinnabar-red tearsstream from your crushed eye?You can't know the maddeninghunger I've felt in the midst ofour kisses, so many of themI've lost count.As though drinking in your cries,I bring my hopes to fruition:biting your tongue, shredding it,biting at your lips as if tastingyour lipstick.Oh, what euphoric heights I wouldreach, having my desires fulfilledlike a greedy, gluttonous cur.I longed, too, for your cherry-tintedcheeks, tasty enough to bewitch mytongue.I would surely be healed,and would cry like a child.And how is your tender ear?It brushes against my cheek;I want it to creep up to my lips soI can sink my teeth into its flesh.Your left ear, always hearing wordswhispered sweet as pie —I want it to hear my true feelings.I never lied, no...but I did have my secrets.Ah, but what must you think of me?Do you hate me? Are you afraid?As though inviting you to the agonyat the play's end, if you wish, youcould destroy me — I wouldn't care.As you wish, you may destroy me— I wouldn't care."

Also, TP was terrible managing the use of its items.
>slingshot, boomerang, spinner, ball and chain, dominion's rod
Cool items with little to no use outside their dungeons.
>>342480272
Shantae is wonderful, but sometimes it really doesn't tell you where to go.
A couple of rooms in VLR. Off the top of my head: the infirmary because I didn't get what I had to do with that grid on the wall and the gaulem bay because I missed one the clues that was hidden in a corner.
>>342480440
I like TP, but that was a huge beef I have with it, yes.
>>342479897
The first time I did that shit in under a minute.
Next playthrough took me nearly an hour.
what the fuck
>>342480350
>yo Vinny, everyone liked the hunt for the keys at the end of the first Metroid Prime, right?
>Uh, actually-
>So how about for our sequel, we add three more! Sounds good right?
>Uh, actually-
>Glad you like it. By the way, I've been playing a lot of Halo recently and I've got great ideas for Metroid Prime 3!
>>342480440
>Link gets a sweet, wall riding skateboard
>only carries you a few feet without stopping outside of dungeons
Curse you, monkey paw!
>>342470765
what was that about? i finished PH but don't remember that
>>342479897
The trick is to finish the top line first and work from there
>>342480361
The worst thing about that for me is I mostly worked it out but didn't think to flip the sides. Left isn't your left.
Finding the vault the good way in fallout 2. Also, in fallout 1 the crest thing disappeared so I had to look up what to do, only thing I could do was hack it in.
>>342480361
ow, the edge
>>342473279
A toad next to the entrance to Hazy Maze Cave tells you that some levels are hidden on walls.
The way I found out when I was a kid, and didn`t know english, was chasing the fucking rabbit I tried picking him up but ended up falling on the wall.

Bioshock: Infinite was lauded as a serious game for adults despite being grimdark, 2deep4u nonsense.
If I ever find myself unable to progress in my first run through game without consulting a guide, I drop the game.
I can't recall ever actually needing to do so other than with Siren, though. Fuck that game's obscure bullshit.
>>342474429
it does :^)

You wanna know the ultimate secret to solve this this puzzle ez-pz?Move the middle-left piece (4) to the center, and then keep moving the other pieces counter-clockwise until it's done. Yes, seriously.
>>342479691
Haha, same, especially from the column. The wall is just a bit higher than most things you can climb, which only come up to link's head unless there's a ladder, so at first glance it looks impossible
>>342479852
>you have to change forms for the ganonpork fight so you can wrestle him when he charges
I got stuck on this thing because I didn't realize that if you held down the levers the middle wheel would continue spinning. Took a whole 3 seconds to solve afterward.
>>342472985
I never even thought about it, but this is exactly what the problem was. I'm betting 99% of people who had a problem with it were on PC, where spinning objects is not something you would accidentally or intuitively do, but that was never factored in to desiging the UI because the PC was an absolute afterthought.
>>342480195
I remember the worst one took me a solid 40mins
>>342468737
Some of the trials in the pheonix wright games are just completely frustrating, they REALLY make you think outside the box and keep track on every little detail mentioned, it sucks when you have stuff to do and you have to save and quit the game, because when you start it back up you'll mosy likely forget important little details. I'm not embarrassed to say I've used a walkthrough several times in the pheonix wright games. Some of the shit i wouldn't have guessed at all
I still love the games though, very clever wrighting (kek) and lovable characters.
>>342480440
I really disliked how goofy the B&C was, itseemed like a leftover wind waker weapon
>>342479897
I can never tell if people seriously could not figure this simple pattern out or if its just an ebin meme like the train mission in sa
>>342481316
>The way I found out when I was a kid, and didn`t know english, was chasing the fucking rabbit I tried picking him up but ended up falling on the wall.
That was intentional. The rabbit always does a sharp turn next to that wall, causing the player to touch it, making it shimmer.

Worst part is, I actually managed to figure out how the entire puzzle worked.
It's just the absolute bullshit red herring of the crater island dome that got me
I looked up a lot of the stuff in Ni No Kuni. Fuck reading the book for clues.
Also there was some dumb shit with statues where you had to move them around on tiles on the floor, but it ended up that you just had to swap where they were against the wall. Absolutely stupid.
>>342480460
Honestly my biggest beef is that it's just bad at conveying ideas, and some of the puzzles are like, Sierra-tier nonsense. The ham thing I mentioned in my first post for one. Another part I got stuck on was Cackle Tower (Spiderweb Island dungeon) where there's one of those DK barrel-style worm mouth things, andyou can shoot it through what looks like a solid wall. There's a visual cue in the form of a window in the wall, but the background behind the window is the exact same shade of almost-black gray that the window's borders and the surrounding walls are, so it's easy to miss. The shape of the wall also seems to imply that the only valid direction to shoot is down or right, and you just came from the right.I mean, that one's kind of on me, but it kind of goes back to the game being really bad at conveying shit.
Just as a personal note, I really hate the thing in 2D platformers where they hide stuff in completely normal-looking walls. It's not fun to have to press my face up against every wall in the event that something important is in there. At least they had the decency to make you auto-crawl if the space was too narrow. And sparkle and make a sound if youshot it with Risky's old gunI guess, which meant you didn't necessarily have to touch the wall you wanted to check.
I hate Virtue's Last Reward so much that I really want to look up all the puzzle solutions. The Vita controls really make everything tedious.
>implying you got past this without a guide
>>342480063
Oh my FUCKING GOD FUCK THIS
THIS MADE ME LOSE MY SHIT SO HARD WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER
Seriously who the fuck thought this puzzle was a good idea - especially since it has a TIME LIMIT and failing forces you to go through 2 cutscenes and another puzzle again
Fuck this part so much.
>>342473383
Why not just draw a map?
This part was way more bullshit than the maze.
I remember not havinv Internet at home so I had to call the motherfucking Nintendo hotline when I got stuck
One of the guys there laughed at me because I asked for solutions for a Hamtaro game and said that was a game for babies
