True story: first time I played FF 7 I didn't read the manual, didn't know you could change Limit Breaks. Went through the whole game and beat it with level 1 original Limit Breaks

the first time i played through snake eater i failed to remember the basics of cqc -_-

I played Vanquish up to the final boss without ever using bullet time slide. 😐

Did you know you could quick switch between keyblades in KH3? I didn't. I literally beat the entire game without hitting left or right on the dpad.

Failing to explain key features of the game, and there being no "quick-start" guide anymore is a real problem. Is it so hard to put in a small guide in the main menu AND pause menu, as well as preferably a very short onloading tutorial?

Me trying to beat Sundowner in Metal Gear Rising without realising i had to cut off his shields

I played through all of arkham knight without upgrading a single time. I beat it thinking "damn that was really hard at the end" Then a friend pointed out I could upgrade my health and stuff and I never felt like a bigger moron

@AShadowLink is a bad that the headline made me think of Astral Chain?

I saw a stream of Metal Gear Rising where they didn't understand how to do precision cuts all the way to the final boss... and still didn't get it, so they just learned to dodge the boulders full of healing items. Think they were on that final fight for about 2 hours.
