To be fair, this is just people with shit mic control, let alone microphone control.

Thanks Prima.

Why aren't his arms blue???

it happened to me on a few occasions, one was in one of the Tomb raider games, other was the Music box level in a 3D Catlevania, another whose game I don't remember was about rearranging an entire level using a control device.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

What's your problem man? When I grew up Sonic had blue arms.

Name FIVE games that do this, faglord.

I only need one, because it only happened once. :^)
Darksiders 2's first act boss.

Something similar could happen with the spider boss in DaS II. If you killed both heads too quickly the boss couldn't be killed.

>get stuck on game

The good old days, kids today have it so easy.

>using a pen, holding it sideways, and sliding it on and off the A button

wat

It happened to me in Resistance 3 on the bridge dropship fight.

>stuck on a part, don't know where to go

>motherfucker uses glitch to skip that part

>must have a thorough knowledge of Shakespeare to complete the puzzle
>none of the relevant stories are actually in the game for you to read

puzzles shouldn't require knowledge that isn't in the game

Ctrl + S gives you instant spoiler tags :^)

A technique to rapidly hit a button. You can use your fingenail too I think.

>game makes fun of you for being a brainlet

This happened to me recently. It was an old obscure adventure game and the closest thing to a walkthrough I could find was a review saying the puzzles were easy. I gave up.

POORLY CODED N64 EMULATOR

NAMIBIA

Those games are trash materials. I don't even bother touching them.

"okay so here you meet Character who is secret the final boss but you won't find out until much later, he tells you to go..."

No, I can't give an example of this happening. Just trust me

Early 2000's GameFAQs was a mistake

Do guides still do that shit today? I just check youtube videos now.
