Most Obvious "Tip" a Game Has Given You?

[ninjafletch]

point the wii remote to the right to look right and vice versa. also most tutorial levels in games on xbox or ps3.

 

[Christemo]

press ctrl to crouch.

 

[janos16]

aiming improves accuracy stupid perfect dark zero

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Press left trigger to shoot.

Really? You think I've never played an FPS before? If it's called a damn trigger, what else it going to be for?!

 

[AoDes]

Fable:
"Your Health is low...Do you have a potion or food?"
The guild master was later found dead with the words "Your health is low" carved into his forehead.
Or, Oblivion:
The quest updates to remind you of what just happened in front of your very eyes and give you directions to finding the hidden treasure that no one but your character's compass marker can find.
Or, Kingdom Hearts II:
At every boss fight, "defeat _____"
"No, I don't want to."

 

[General Ken8]

Go to like 1:14

Spoiler: read this AFTER you watch the video

There are terrible demons, ouch! (I'm referring to the Ouch! part)

 

[Instant K4rma]

Not sure its an "obvious" one, but I always found it funny:

"These tips can be turned off in the Interface menu" - WoW

 

[fateblade]

Press X not to die (quicktime vents.)

 

[tsb247]

"Click on a unit to select it"

Just about every RTS tutorial on Earth. Do we really need this to be explained? I should hope not!

 

[TjoxYorro]

Seeing after killing hundreds of people:

'Killing inocent civilians will result in loss of sychronisation' (somtin like that)
After saved almost all guys from angry guards:
' Press L1 to talk with the saved woman / man.'

from AC

[Connosaurus Rex]

is that rise of nations?

In a RTS "build villagers to make buildings" and "farms collect food"

Yes it is Rise of Nations good job

 

[PublicNuisance]

The giant arrow in Bioshock, if you choose to put it on, is one game long hint in itself.

 

[L4Y Duke]

The tutorial itself in Dawn of War.

I played and finished Dawn of War, and installed Winter Assault. I go to Campaign, and the first message I get is:

"This is your first time playing Winter Assault. Would you like to play the tutorial?"

It would be fine if it just introduced the new concepts (such as the difference between the factions), but ohhh noooo, it goes through EVERYTHING ALL OVER AGAIN.

"I ALREADY KNOW WHY I NEED TO CAPTURE STRATEGIC POINTS! JUST GET TO THE DAMN IMPERIAL GUARD DIFFERENCES ALREADY!!!"

 

[SamFancyPants252]

"Health packs give you health"

 

[Super_Nintendo_Chalmers]

From the looks of it, in Halo: ODST, signs tell you where to go, and to be careful and such.
Seems rather babying and patronising in a way.

 

[Tartarga]

"Your health is low use a health potion!"
I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME!

 

[MetalMantheRevenge]

Press B to open the pip-boy. When I'm at level 20....

 

[Tattaglia]

"You were killed by an exploding car. CARS ON FIRE ARE LIKELY TO EXPLODE." NO REALLY? It's even stupider than the grenade one.

Christ almighty I have to say this. Maybe the first one or two times you die from a grenade or exploding car they should inform you, but after I've played through most of the campaign? Fuck you, developers. Fuck you and your completely realistic explosions.

From battlefield 2: "Press the reload button to reload your weapon."
