I got stuck in Jabu Jabu's belly for the longest time and had to resort to buying the official game guide because it never occured to me that you could still open doors while carrying Ruto.

As a kid, I once thought you needed Din's Fire to melt that one frozen eye switch in the Forest Temple. And then one playthrough I ended up completely forgetting it, and then making it to that room and realizing I "fucked up". I ran back to the Temple of Time, only to not be able to go back to the past because Shiek wants you to save Saria. I thought I softlocked my game and started over completely.

What's a good present for a 8yr old zoomer nowadays? No good entry rpgs to get him into like Paper Mario

I got through like 60% of FFX before realizing there was the skill sphere thing.
Also played early maplestory for a month without realizing there was ability and skill points. Took me that whole month to get to lvl 10

Well I never found who the culprit was but I can recall at least 12 people there who could’ve done it

My first pokemon was gold when i had just moved to the states. I was 4, and i barely knew how to speak english let alone read it. I guess you could call it my first “rpg” as well. I didn’t know you had to save the game. Each time I turned on Gold I tried to see how far I could make it. Farthest I got in one sitting was goldenrod. Man, kid me was fuckin stupid.

What's your relation?

Fucking how there is a long ass tutorial about it at the begining

No shit? I went to a party around that time and stole a PSP along with a couple of games from this hipster dude. They were in a plastic bag on a table in the living room. Almost took the PC tower in the same room as well.

I think I was around 8 at the time, Link's Awakening was my first Zelda game so I wasn't familiar with some of the common puzzle mechanics. I didn't figure out that I had to push the block that opened the door that would lead to Roc's Feather in the first dungeon until I had the game for a couple years. I don't know how much time I spent exploring and digging up every nook and cranny trying to find out what I was supposed to do instead.

That revelation and the feeling of an entire world opening up to me was absolutely immense. It's still one of my favourite Zelda games.

That's nice. Hope your friend will give you a kiss on your cheek to show his appreciation for that great gift.

And as bonus, even at 16, I was still pretty inattentive to game mechanics that would have made my time with a game much easier had I used them. Such as cooking at the end of a battle in a Tales Of game. My dumbass kept buying gels constantly when cooking was much cheaper in the long run.

I think you are actual retards guys

Uhhh... I don't know how to tell you this but you don't seem to be very smart, user.

For some reason I trade-in-stole gameboy games and DS games from kids all around my neighborhood. We'd be hanging out at their house or something and I'd have some games with me, and I'd be playing one of theirs and I wouldn't be very subtle, I'd say some shit like "wow this game is really cool, I wish I had it" and then when I'm about to leave I'd sneak them maybe one or two shitty games from my collection and take theirs. Somehow nobody ever traced it back to me, I must have done it 6-7 times.

I did the same when I played 2, I also didn't know you could equip new skills. Somehow made it to the final boss that I just couldn't beat.

We all knew it was you, Carl. That's why we stopped talking to you after primary school.

I think I was too back then. I walk among you with an engineering degree now though, so I guess I just grew out of it.

That story is kind of adorable actually.

I scored Phantom Hourglass, the Settlers, Dead and Furious (it reminded me of House of the Dead at the time and can't believe I even remember that garbage) Pokemon Platinum and Mario Kart, maybe a few others. Heist of the century.

When I got Simpsons Hit and Run for Xmas 2004, I didn’t bother looking at the instruction manual
I no shit got up to Marge’s level before finding out I could run by holding O

I'm 20 years old, that's as far as I've ever gotten, second time I tried it a few years ago I just got to Lisa, and I've never known that. I don't know, it doesn't seem like a game where I can sprint. That's mind blowing.

In my case, I pressed O while stationary and nothing happened so I assumed it didn’t do anything
I only found out on accident, but I was 11 so there ya go

I made it to Rufus without using materia or items in FF7. He kept killing me so I shelved it for years.

Playing MM as a ESL kid both me and my sister couldn't get past getting Goron Mask because we never realized we needed to push his grave to find hot water.
Years later when I emulated it and understood what I was supposed to I felt like a huge tool. Blew her mind when too when I told her about it.

That one is some fucking bullshit right there. The worst part is that it wobbles when you jump on it, so it makes it seem like that's the solution, if it didn't do that you might just go straight to trying to use it as an elevator.

This is very cute.

You're right, towns were fine. I didn't want to play looking at that featureless face though so I reset both times.

user, what does it feel like to have a double digit IQ?

I was convinced at a point that I was stuck in the water temple and I wasn't able to get out because I missed a key..

Surprisingly I managed to complete Pokemon Red without really getting stuck on anything as kid, but oh man how Gold got me stuck with its machine parts hidden in the Cerulean gym pool. I don’t think that anything has ever fucked me for so long in a game.

>walked through Rock Tunnel without finding Flash HM for it
I have no idea how I ever got patience for that bullshit, bumping into walls in dark for hours.

It was that one fucking key at the bottom of the "tower" wasn't it?

The only time i remember getting stuck on a game was on Wind Waker, because i didn't know how to get the song for the big ass tornado that could get you the fire and ice arrows.
I spend a solid month playing hours after school after i found out that you could hit the red frog dude, gotta give them that made the game feel like an adventure to tell the truth.

it's more a double digit % degree of aspergers

but that reminds me of when they tested my IQ when I was really little:
Some of the tests were simple math, I did pretty good on the sums and substractions. But then this guy comes at me with multiplication symbols. Literally noone had ever told me what those are for, so there was no way for me to know the answers. I don't remember getting any examples to base logic on either. Even back then I thought that was bullshit.

Why do people refuse to look at the map in a game about exploring dungeons?

Same with me but with the original blue version.

Same!

>>THE MUMMY'S COMING
After hearing that, she certainly didn't.

The only thing of being a retard in vidya in recent memory was that I didn't know I could upgrade the Tank in Valkyria Chronicles 1 until I, for some reason, watched a speedrun halfway through the first game, and one of the first things he did was upgrade his Tank and I was shocked since I never saw that screen before.

It basically meant I kept using a weaker and weaker Tank that couldn't kill anything and died in one hit (which also triggered a Game Over) and I didn't know it was because I couldn't upgrade it.

Another thing I could think of is that I still pronounce tons of names wrong in a lot of games I played as a kid/young teen. Ace Attorney takes the cake, as I still call Maya "my-ah", Mia "Mai" and Godot "Go-Dot" in my head when I read.

Funnily enough, I also had Swampert and did similar things to being a dumb kid. From what I can recall.

>Swampert knew four HM's and was Level 100, he knew Surf, Waterfall, Dive and Strength. The fact they were permanent never occurred to me until hours later
>Had a Pelipper in my team for some reason, which mean I had two Water Pokémon when I didn't really need one, I think it knew Fly as well.
>Never talked to the guy who had Hidden Power since I thought he was a trainer and I didn't like fights
>Used to sell anything I deemed useless, usually TM's I didn't understand and didn't do damage and stat changing ones

Granted I was a kid, but I still play Pokémon to this day with attacking moves over stat boosting ones. I wish I could remember my Gold playthrough from when I was 5 or so, from what I recall I taught Scyther Swords Dance and then reset the game because it didn't do any damage. I also have a vague memory of trying to sell/discard the wing that lets you capture Ho-oh/Lugia, but I don't think that's possible.

I reached the part in the Dragon's Roost tower where you have to light the two torches on fire with the boko/umbrella sticks for a chest to appear with a key. I ended up signing up for an NP subscription because it came with the Wind Waker guide book.

Is this what Yea Forums has come to, fucking 5 year olds posting here? Even 18 year olds are boomers now apparently.

I got stuck in Makar's temple in Wind Waker because I didn't know you could mash A to fly with him. I thought you had to rely entirely on the massive fan in that one room. Couldn't get past the platforms you have to fly up to with the Stalfos until 5 years later.

Literally me in every Disgaea.

this one took me and my friend several months to figure out.

>had to watch my friend grind in ff7 for literal hours
>for some reason I enjoyed it

You are swawesome

Fuck you big dick time

yay, team kiwi

I think it is like watching those youtube videos about some guy in the woods building a hut out of dirt and sticks. There is a certain satisfaction to watching something grow.

had pokemon red and I never realized until much later in life that you could use flash in a cave to light it up, so i would navigate mt. moon in absolute darkness

I somehow got stuck due to those brown ledges in Pokemon emerald so I let my friend borrow my gba to get me out of there and he ended up doing way more than that and beating a gym too, the bastard

>rent a new game

I dont get the rent game/movie meme, is this an american thing?

The route in question
I'm not sure why I couldn't get down the ledges though

Dude I had the exact same fucking problem
I replayed that scenario like 20 times without ever figuring it out
Only difference is I never went back to finish it since

>rent game
Read before typing you autistic fuck.

I got stuck finding those moon pieces or something at the observatory I think?
Timer would just end there and I lose every time

What exactly is the problem you overly aggressive little man? Is the word rent hurting your feelings or what's your problem?

Not him but I can't work out what you're trying to say. You aren't familiar with the term "rent", or the concept of renting movies/games in general?

Renting movies I understand. I got them all the time from blockbuster. Renting games is just odd to me.

That's retarded, I used to rent games all the time. Especially in the PS1 days, because you could burn them.

>be 7 years old
>beat Red even though I didn't understand any English
>never even got Flash, just walked through the cave blind
You might be actually retarded

Same
Never knew that was a thing. I did borrow games from the library sometimes though.
Could you even rent big games like Pokemon? If not, that's probably why I didn't know about it

Console games only, mostly. I remember renting NES and SNES games.
You could also rent consoles for a long time, like rent a N64, mario kart and a couple of controllers for like 20 bucks/weekend.

>rent TOCA Touring Cars for PS1 for one weekend

You gave a smile user.

My grandmother had a game boy and tetris.

Kicked out? For a fucking game? What was this, some religious daycare?

Reminded me of this

Little me had balls, nowadays I'm too much of a pussy to play games in moonrunes

cute

Pokemon GBC games' internal battery probably won't be working anymore

MM is one of those games that you can get stuck over simple shit. I remember struggling with it as a kid, but I loved it so much that I just kept going. I would hit reset if the moon ever fell, it took me years to muster the courage to watch the cutscene through YouTube. I felt sool sad...

nice
I remember back in the day my dad rented a jp copy of gold a couple months before it came out in english.
I didn't make it to the first gym because I couldn't figure out where to go.

>Be a little kid
>Playing SF2 on SNES
>Only ever do jump round house into sweep vs CPU
>Just do it over and over til I win
>Beat the game countless times and never tire of this strategy

And I loved the game too. Was SF2 just that incredible in it's time and age or are kids super easy to entertain? Or both?

I beat max Payne on ps2 and didn't realize you could slow down time until the final part where you run up the stairs to the helicopter.

>Tfw I didn't know you could talk to the nurse to heal your Pokémon, because I thought you could only talk to NPCs if you were right next to them and there was a counter in the way, so I kept going through Viridian Forest until I died and respawned at the Pokémon Center and thought this was the normal flow of the game

I beat Mario64 but I didn't know you could jump.

Fun fact: his brother his a high level Melee player who doesn't use any advanced techniques. He is called Borb, I think, and watching him play is somewhere between super entertaining and super infuriating. Because he does well, you just can't really put your finger on why.

Beat Batman: Dark Tomorrow on the GameCube without knowing that holding the L button would combo attacks. Had to do a running start to knock out enemies.

>be me
Who else are you going to be?

Stupid fucking shitposter. Video. Games.

We figured it out eventually though.

Go fuck yourself user. If the thread bothers you so much, ignore it.

When I was first playing through pokemon red, I didn't understand what to do after beating Lt. Surge.
Backtracking back to Cerulean and cutting that tree never occured to me. I kept trying to go left where the sleeping snorlax was. I kept grinding though, I'm fairly certain I had a charizard that wouldn't obey me.
Also, when I eventually DID find my way to rock tunnel I didn't have flash.
Took ANOTHER very long time to get through that.
I was a pretty dumb kid.

When I was 10 or so, playing through FF6 on the SNES, I missed the clue after Zozo about where to go to get to the empire. Cue running around all creation SEVERAL times (including trips through the Veldt) before I stumbled upon the Impresario in Jidoor.

>lol i was 2yo and i remember shit
Bullshit.

Not him but

Jesus christ, you can't make this shit up!

It took me years to figure out you needed the dualshock to play Ape Escape.

>rent Ecco the dolphin 10+ times
>only make it out of the first level once
>couldn't remember how I did it

I liked dolphins and the swimming was fun.

>playing metroid fusion
>every year would try to play it but would always get lost
>felt like those where the fuck do i go type games
>later find out its one of the most linear games in the series

Still, i don't think anybody from that age would be able to say a damn sentence nor playing a game.

His story was about he wasn't able to play the game and 2 years old can "talk".

are you DSP?

>tfw this shit never happens to me
Id love to know what it feels like to be retarded

my 'stuck kid spot' was the dungeon puzzle where you have to kill the three different enemies is a specific order.

>play spongebob battle for bikini bottom as small child

I remember my first copy of red had the internal battery fucked up so it didn't save. So until I got a new copy I tried to see how far I could get on a full battery charge. The farthest I got was to the dark tunnel after the 2nd gym

i wonder how long it mustve taken him to get to that level and not figure out how to progress considering the shit amount of xp you get at that point in the game

Should've asked to see time played

this could have been the 15th smash thread but instead we have this. shame

I think that's why the memory has stayed with me for so long. Sure, I did autistic shit as a kid, like making a twenty hour AOE2 save where I made a giant city that eventually covered the entire map, but the amount of autism required to 99 multiple Pokemon off 100xp a battle has to take somewhere in the eighty hour range.

Even if I did I doubt it would have stayed with me

punch him randomly in the face and then laugh while walking away.
when he confronts you later just laugh and say "i should have done that years ago"

I've only ever gotten 1 pokemon to lvl 100 and that was in Red trying to evolve a Graveler.

You guys are bunch of retards, these threads are always full of people getting stuck on basic shit or just not trying at all

Took me so many tries to get this, fuck this riddle. Love the rest of the game, though.
Also got stuck on the Mermaid dungeon in Oracle of Ages, didn't know you had to do pieces in each age.

They remind me of Pokémon, specifically maril having a 40% chance of fainting itself upon evolving

This was basically me but with Sceptile
