My first play through the Original Saints Row, I never knew you could get out of the car during the drug-running activity.
Have you ever played through a game and completely missed a game play feature?

As for me, well I had no idea you could choke people from behind on Metal Gear Solid 1, which could have saved me a lot of effort. As for MGS2, don't even go there, I was young and might as well been playing it with only the left analog stick. I missed every gameplay feature that was non essential.
Wow, poor you. I know someone who had no idea what the attache cases were, so he spent the whole game with the smallest item storage.

Almost, I got through 2 thirds of Ico before discovering that you can swing on chains. Of course this was only after spending almost 2 hours trying to solve a puzzle where you couldn't jump off of them far enough in the right direction
Battlefield 3's fire mode option. I was spraying and praying for at least a month before I figured out that pressing down changed it to single or burst...
That and the bipod option. I knew you could do it, but it took me around 50 hours until I figured out you needed 180 degrees of space to turn.

i went through 2 whole playthroughs in ME2 before i found out you could get minerals from scanning planets. before that i was only able to get 1 upgrade per game by saving all the mineral boxes from missions
And I HATE how they took away that feature in ME3. Honestly, I feel like a complete idiot walking around with my gun pointed straight in front of me during during the entire course of a combat mission. "Hey, I killed all the guys! Can I put away my gun? No? Well then I guess I'll just walk around looking like Paranoid Joe, ready to shoot at absolutely anything.Z of the Na said:
I played through the vast majority of Golden Sun without running. Eventually near the end there's some moving sand you have to run across and I was completely stuck. I got so angry with the game and told my friend how it's stupid, and then he just held down B (or whatever, I don't remember) and zipped across. I was looking through the whole dungeon for some sort of switch or whatever to stop the sands before this, haha. Needless to say, this made the sequel a whole lot faster.
All I can think of is the quick save function in ME3. Accidentally hit the back button in the middle of a mission.
Never used it anyway. I save waaaaaay more often than I probably need to anyway just cuz I HATE autosave.

I was on my third Mass Effect playthrough before I realised the Mako cannon thing.
It also took me until my second Mass Effect 3 playthrough (and reading a GameFAQs post) that I realised you could re-map the "Y" power.

Completely missed the VATS system in Fallout: New Vegas. It wasn't until I saw my brother playing the game that I knew such a feature existed. Would have made those up-close combat situations much easier...
