I remember getting really angry, talking to myself and sarcastically announcing "Oh, maybe he means look on the game's CD case," picked it up and... Fuck, I felt a fool.baddude1337 said:Uncharted 2, Limbo, but the one that sticks the most in my mind is the original MGS. I was pissed for hours trying to figure out what the colonel meant by Meryl's Codec is on the back of the CD case, and then I glanced at the case on the floor and realized he meant the game case.
Oh yeah, that one. Man I felt stupid after I hit the hint button.aetharr said:I got one.. on the game Puzzle Agent, there is a little puzzle in which you a receptionist is unable to remember your room number, as the janitor wrote it down from the night before.. the solution, when presented to you is so mind-bogglingly simple. In the end, the game developers actually released a patch to alter how that puzzle appeared to make it more simple to understand.

OMG!! You too? I'm not the only one!!Wutaiflea said:My husband bought a Monkey Island game (MI 2 maybe? I dunno) on Steam recently, and he got stuck on this puzzle with a dude behind a door who would only give information after solving a puzzle password involving holding up a certain number of fingers.
We must've been there for fucking ages between the two of us, trying to see what the pattern was. In the end, when my husband finally consulted a walkthrough, the solution was so embarrassingly simple, I literally felt like a foamy-mouthed retard. We'd really over-thought it.
Good old Legend of Kyrandia was another great retard moment on my part too.
