Another quick question, this one happened to me just a few minutes ago, so I feel compelled to ask this.

So I was playing Tales of Zestiria and, without telling too much, let's say there's a moment when you get locked in a room with your party, and gas starts pouring out. You're tasked to stop the smoke, and really, it is fairly simple (you just have to press four switchs in the ground). But for some reason I completely missed them. Started rubbing myself at the walls trying to find something to block them, and eventually thought "maybe this is a story cutscene, so I have to wait".

The smoke eventually filled the room and my party died. Thankfully the game, acknowledging how moron I was, allowed me to retry on the spot (instead of making me load a save file, which would have been disastrous). Afterwards, I did the puzzle like every normal person with a sane cognitive system would do, and paused te game to realize how dumb I was there.

Anyone ever felt something similar? Huh? Guys?

Nope. I'm a very smart person. I've never got stuck in game, especially not the gas chamber in Batman Arkham knight when you fight the Arkham Knight. I couldn't find the freaking hole on the wall to escape. I died 8 times before I figured out what to do.

First gomba in SMB on NES killed me once when was showing someone how to play. I felt mortified as a kid.

Happens all the time to me, honestly.

Unless it's a game that punishes you greatly for a mistake, like an NES game, or Dark Souls, I usually just shrug it off and move on.

Yes I do, I've played through The Talos Principle recently and sometimes I would overthink a puzzle that was fairly simple and be stuck on it for a while, only to discover what to do and then feel really dumb =P

I really, really felt like an idiot with one of the A6 puzzles. Took me ages. Even Elohim telling me to go do something else didn't deter me in losing more time trying to figure out something that was in reality very simple. It wasn't even a moment of pride when I finally figured it out, but of shame. :(

It was on purpose!

happends too often lmao.

I feel like an idiot when failing any sequence in any game, to be honest. That's why I don't like anyone to see me playing a difficult game.

Eh, that'd make for a great evening!
