Games you played COMPLETELY WRONG?

Gran Turismo: When I started the series I was a child who only played GTA and NFS games so when I got my hands on my first GT game on the PSP I was playing without using the brakes at all and never won a race. The cars also felt really heavy. I thought the gameplay was terrible and gave up. Gran Turismo 6 brought me back into the mould as I was looking for a content rich racing game on PS3 and marvelled at its huge content. I got it and got hooked and played it for two years. Now its my favourite racing game series and one of my favourite game series.

GT6 also made me play other racing sims with my first non GT racing sim being Forza Motorsport 4 which I also enjoyed but not to that extent. I still haven't played a racing game that I adore as much as GT6 not even GT Sport.

Demon's Souls: I knew it would be a difficult game but when I started playing I spent 3 hours on my first playthrough and found myself going back to the start of 1-1 after all that time. I did make my way to Phalanx at last and beat him first try. When I loaded the game next time I was in 1-2 and the game was saving and the lights went off. When it returned I discovered my save file was corrupted. I was frustrated as hell.

After some time I decided to return to Boletaria to give it another go. Little had I realised, in my first playthrough I had forgotten about the lock on mechanic and that's what made the game so frustratingly difficult! Once I discovered it things went a lot more smoothly but there was one more mistake I had made.

My first character was a mage and mages have very low defense in these games. So I was scared to fight anything up close and kept spamming fire toss from a distance. My whole playthrough went like that with some limited use of weapons. I went online and saw other players playing the game on youtube with different weapons so I decided to do that the next time as it wasn't possible to do it with my low defense character in ng+. So I finally did that when I got Dark Souls by starting with a knight. After finishing Dark Souls I went back to Demon's Souls to play it the more fun and thrilling way.
