Have you ever played through a game and completely missed a game play feature?

Play through all of Deus Ex:HR, get to the final level and accidentally blow a door off its hinges. Realise how stupid I've been for the entire game wondering why doors had strengths...
You're not the only one. I'm getting ready to start my 2nd playthrough. Glad I know that now.Quala said:
Does this apply to the final fight with Kai Leng? Where (at least for me) if I didn't run away fast enough he one-shotted me 10 seconds into the fight?I Have No Idea said:
I heard that I missed just about everything in Tales of Vesperia. I'd play through again to see how it was with all the non-story related stuff involved, but I hate Karol too much. And the princess girl. Fuck her. (But seriously how do you open the hot springs?)
I only recently found out that after all these years, there are hidden items in Pokemon. Found out by Chuggaconroy's pokemon LP, Never even knew there were hidden items in grass or rocks.
In Skyward Sword i rejected the Shield Bash as basically useless. It wasn't until near the end of the game that i found that the Shield Bash Counter is extremely useful, which makes that annoying pirate miniboss a piece of cake instead of the second hardest enemy next to the final boss...
I also went through Pokemon Crystal only leveling my Totadile, that was just me being bad at games though. Not sure how i got him past level 100 >.>

Divinity 2: I didn't realised there are more skills underneath the Skills menu (you have to scroll down) which include Healing spell! I spent the first half of the game quick-save and quick-load to make sure I don't use up any health potions (they are in very limited supplies.)
Skyrim: I didn't realised you could dash!
Dark souls: I didn't realised I could zoom in and out when shooting with a bow!

Got to the end of Final Fantasy VIII and never got my weapon past level 2 because of an enemy I was supposed to draw a specific Summon from in disc 1 so I would have the ability to refine a specific item necessary to upgrade my weapons so I ended up only doing about 700-800 damage per melee strike with my level 90+ characters and couldn't finish the game because I didn't like it.
I have a very sad story. I loved the game FF X-2. Dressing Sim aside, the fighting was frantic and the boss fights were extremely satisfying. AND you just had to manage 3 characters instead of 12+ where more than half of those you don't care about or use...
Now as anyone knows who may have played it...to get the best costume, but most silly looking, is to get a perfect 100% completion (Item Collecting). Okay, so after you get 100% a cut-scene is supposed to play to show you getting the costume, I skipped it by accident because I did not know that the cutscene was related to the costume...until it was too late. I had saved the game believing that I needed to do something else. I checked online and found out that there is a glitch where IF you skip the cutscene, you do NOT get the costume. T_T I died a little inside that day. The work to do all that is just...too much.... to do again...

Oh, I know one, the Hacking in Fallout 3/NV. I played through both games 3-4 times each before learning that in the hacking mini game if you find [] {} () brackets, you can get duds removed and get your tries back.
I find it just makes it harder then just hardlining it

I didn't know about horse tricks, lizards, or fruit the first playthrough of Shadow of the Colossus.
wait, but grinding a lot and getting your levels up doesn't actually make you stronger in FFX unless you use orbs. Levels in FFX are basically just tokens for moving around the grid, they don't make you stronger by themselves. I mean, without using any orbs, you'd have less then 500 healthPedosmile said:
Caravan is the most broken game ever.Broady Brio said:
If you play it against shop keepers, they use their shop cap stockpile to play Caravan with
It's also stupidly easy if you build your deck with just 6s, 8s, 9s, 10s and Kings. Play your 10s, play kings on them, place 6s on those, and win. Alternatively, play 9s, Kings on those, then play 8s on top of those. It's stupidly easy to win at Caravan once you know how to play it.
So basically, buy everything, then play Caravan with them to get all of your money back, and then sell the stuff to vendors that don't play caravan for their caps.
Mind=blown?
Note that vendors who play Caravan (the courier guy in Primm, the NCR outpost lady, the Dinosaur Gift Shop guy in Novac) will only play a few games before the game realizes what the heck it's letting you do and they stop, so make sure those games count.
