what are some moments in video games that made you feel like an absolute fucking retard?

I went through over half of God Hand before realizing you could upgrade your health bar and roulette gauge

I didn't upgrade any of my characters in Tales of Hearts R until half way in. Didn't know I could level up the soma.

I didn't know you could run from battles in final fantasy 7. the whole game.

I went through almost half of Tales of Symphonia without realizing what EX skills did. Same with abyss and AD skills.

I went through half of Rondo of Blood without realising Richter can backflip.

didnt know you could level up your sword in mgr

played through hard with little trouble though

Oh shit I didn't know that. I played 80 hours of that game, half of that must have been cutlass fury animations.

I realised you could hold B to run in Resident Evil 4... after finishing the game twice

I was trying to get as many collectibles as I could before advancing the story in Sleeping Dogs. Had no idea I could aim guns and took out a lot of those gang operations in the tunnels just by blindfiring behind cover. When I finally got to the point in the story that I was taught how to use firearms I felt like an idiot. On the plus side though, I beat all my friends several times over when it came to the Lucky Shooter challenge.
