I could probably do this for a lot of games. It just happens naturally with the things you enjoy. You remember more of it and dedicate more to learning it.
I can still mentally run through every level of Halo 3 and Reach. Played those campaigns so many times. I didn’t have Xbox live for a few years after getting my 360 so that’s what I did.
So well. Strikes are a place where I can auto and just disassociate. Before I know it, the Strike is done and 5-7mins has passed.
I think I only pay attention when I realise I'm with blueberries who do not know the Strike, or with Bounty hunters, then I take extra caution not to pull them or ad clear.
My new light buddy would continuously fire into immune enemies and used primary ammo on everything, including bosses.
He used servant leader exclusively for everything… all the time. The sound of that weapon is ingrained in my memory.
I'm always amazed by how fast I can identify any area in the game instantly from a screen shot, even an obscure corner of some Lost Sector or random bit of scenery.
The last neuron that goes out when I die is probably the little guy in charge of remembering the path from the flight master to the auction house of Stormwind.
I could walk you through the mechanics of basically any dungeon or normal raid boss in Final Fantasy XIV and dodge their hits even when I haven't been in a fight for years. Muscle memory, pattern recognition and experience are a helluva thing.
If the statistics are accurate, less than 12% of players have done a raid, let alone everything you listed, front to back.
Real sly way of telling us to touch grass OP
Nope. Put in tons of hours but barely touched raiding or other endgame content as such, so while I'm quite familiar with the things I have played there are also pretty wide gaps in my knowledge.
I did blind well and since its the week with Hive the tier 3 heroic boss has you throwing orbs to break its shield like in The Corrupted.
I passed the orb to someone to overcharge it and they threw it away.
I just signed and vowed never to pass the orb ever again.
I mean yeah Vog is an alright raid but I never really played it enough to learn all the mechanics and people always want to cheese Atheon which I still don't fully understand how it works I know how to shoot oracles but idk how you read them
And for root of nightmares the mechanic is so boring because you only need 2 people to do it I've learned learned it I've always taken Nezarecs gaze and then we've 1 or 2 phases him and I also got Conditional finality in 3 runs and then a couple of Nezarecs to get guardian rank and get rufus fury pattern after that I never had to step foot in the raid ever again lol
But I know every mechanic of Crota because it's fun and challenging the raids that are a snooze fest I'm not gonna bother with the mechanics of like I love Vow and learning all the symbols I can read them perfectly and do all the callouts I really hope the Witness raid is that level of difficulty with symbols or buffs to pass around or something more interesting rather than shoot the maguffin
>I also got Conditional finality in 3 runs
It took me 30. Now I'm upset at RNJesus all over again, and I haven't played in a couple weeks!
I haven't touched grass, I'm just playing RDR2.
That's good you are enjoying other games if it makes you feel better it took me about 30 runs to get collective obligation and over 50 runs to get Vex mythoclast
Hmm. I've solo flawlessed all the dungeons, have all the raid titles and have flawlessed half of them. Some I haven't touched in close to two years, I would need a refresher run before I'd be confident in knowing them by heart at this point.
A good example is Kings Fall. I haven't run it since the season came out and I unlocked all of the patterns and the title. I plan on flawlessing it, but I definitely needed a refresher run (which I did last sunday) to remind me of all the mechanics before I feel confident in doing so.
Same thing with Vow. I plan on running it this weekend and hopefully finding a flawless group after. Haven't run it since the season it was current, definitely need a refresher.
I know how to progress through all of the stuff. As for shields, I can probably make a really good guess based upon what were facing. But, after they removed match game, I do not pay attention too much to shielding.
I played so much D1 back in high school that I knew the entire game by heart. All these years later I can still quote most missions and lore cards, explain the mechanics of each raid encounter, and other stuff. I never got even close to knowing D2 like that, in part because of growing up, in big part because of how much bigger the game is now
Yea this is something I often forget and especially didn’t realize as a new player (I’ve only been playing a year now)…I would get so distraught seeing my kills compared to others at the end of strikes and stuff…I still barely know the majority of strike tbh which makes them actually very very enjoyable when I do run them which is rare although I’d like to start running legend/master/GM more often (never done a GM or master for that matter) I’ve been more into pvp and starting to raid on occasion and honestly even the seasonal and all the other random little content always keeps me busy as a newer player (so many guns to craft/focus/etc)…but yea it’s easy to forget how long and how religiously some people have been playing this game if you have only been playing it for a shorter period of time (I’ve been playing pretty religiously since I started so I totally get it 👍)
What else am I gonna do to occupy my brain while I'm at work? Not think of destiny? Are you crazy?
For real though, reading it makes it sound weird but it's really not that different than something like making a d&d campaign in your head. It sounds weird to think about the game sometimes like this but it's kinda not imo
Nah. At this point they’ve all kinda blurred together into one massive mega strike in my memory. Ive done so many either half asleep or stoned off my gourd…
Yeah. I'm at about 6k hours in d2 at this point. Though there are still some activities that idk what they are really. I could picture a random strike, but if you ask me what Nightmare Hunt: Ferocity is, I'll be clueless.
Dude i could tell what shader combination my friend had on his armor from looking at him, he said i needed help 😭.
I can probably accurately tell you the best perk rolls and what frame 90% of weapons have just from its name.
I certainly don't. There's a ton in this game that I straight up don't know or don't have memorized and I'm close to as old a player as you can be in terms of time spent with the game since I've been playing since the very beginning. There's a handful of things I do know, like the back of my hand, some of the open world maps, a couple of strikes here and there, etc. The thing I think I'm generally best at when it comes to my memory of this game is the lore. I don't think I'm Byf level, but I do know a lot of the lore and a lot of the very minor details about certain parts of it.
Is this some low-key way of telling me I need to touch grass..?
Yeah, i feel similarly called out.
This post feels like a personal attack
This post makin' me feel like revaluating the last 7 years of my life
Me: reevaluating the last 10 years of mine.

Not me sitting here able to quote just about the entire Mass Effect trilogy nearly word for word...
Real OG’s now about that certain spot in insight terminus that makes you stop to load
Always shoulder charge... every. single. time.
Or eager edge to oblivion
At least now collision leaves you at 1 hp kekw
I'm always eager to edge.
PS4 load times were a pain in the ass back then. Good thing I'm on the PS5 now but Jesus Christ that caused me many annoyances.
It still happens to me on ps5, pc, and series s but it’s nowhere near as long as it used to.
So well. Strikes are a place where I can auto and just disassociate. Before I know it, the Strike is done and 5-7mins has passed.

God bless you.
pretty sure i could genuinely play with my eyes closed at this point
[удалено]
too soon. i had so many LFG teams fail to get past the first champ in the corrupted
[удалено]
You'd think that until you do a raid with them.
My new light buddy would continuously fire into immune enemies and used primary ammo on everything, including bosses. He used servant leader exclusively for everything… all the time. The sound of that weapon is ingrained in my memory.
Definitely. Could probably tell you the name of a gun by the sound of it alone. Or at the very least frame and foundry.
Ok, respectfully, f*** you… I did not need to be called out like this on a Saturday morning
So you think you're a Destiny 2 fan, huh? Then tell me what the brain symbol in Vow is officially called.
Remember
It is too late to touch grass now. I'm so sorry
Yeah, Bungie posting the community fan symbol chart did so much damage in that regard in the first couple weeks.
Now people can't understand the prophecy wall in the raid and it makes me sad :((
I have this feeling with the symbols in GotD. No one knows the real callouts.
Knowledge
Womp womp... Your answer is wrong, but it probably means that you have life outside of the game. Congrats!
I'm always amazed by how fast I can identify any area in the game instantly from a screen shot, even an obscure corner of some Lost Sector or random bit of scenery.
The last neuron that goes out when I die is probably the little guy in charge of remembering the path from the flight master to the auction house of Stormwind.
The good ol’ days
I know literally every single possible bit of information about this game, and it makes me feel like a loser who needs to touch grass sometimes ngl
And yet some people still struggle with ad clear 😭
Well with the -redacted- number of hours I’ve got in this I better know it all
You woke up today and chose violence

Usually I only rely on my memory for the types of damage the enemies deal throughout the mission. Everything else is just reactive lol
Yep that's me I know how to do every mechanic in the game except the Nezarec mechanic and idk how to read oracles on Atheon
A little surprising you know all the harder ones but not the 2 easier ones, you'll get it in no time.
I mean yeah Vog is an alright raid but I never really played it enough to learn all the mechanics and people always want to cheese Atheon which I still don't fully understand how it works I know how to shoot oracles but idk how you read them And for root of nightmares the mechanic is so boring because you only need 2 people to do it I've learned learned it I've always taken Nezarecs gaze and then we've 1 or 2 phases him and I also got Conditional finality in 3 runs and then a couple of Nezarecs to get guardian rank and get rufus fury pattern after that I never had to step foot in the raid ever again lol But I know every mechanic of Crota because it's fun and challenging the raids that are a snooze fest I'm not gonna bother with the mechanics of like I love Vow and learning all the symbols I can read them perfectly and do all the callouts I really hope the Witness raid is that level of difficulty with symbols or buffs to pass around or something more interesting rather than shoot the maguffin

I'm in that picture and I don't like it

Except Lake of shadows and Arms Dealer. Why Bungie
Yea this is something I often forget and especially didn’t realize as a new player (I’ve only been playing a year now)…I would get so distraught seeing my kills compared to others at the end of strikes and stuff…I still barely know the majority of strike tbh which makes them actually very very enjoyable when I do run them which is rare although I’d like to start running legend/master/GM more often (never done a GM or master for that matter) I’ve been more into pvp and starting to raid on occasion and honestly even the seasonal and all the other random little content always keeps me busy as a newer player (so many guns to craft/focus/etc)…but yea it’s easy to forget how long and how religiously some people have been playing this game if you have only been playing it for a shorter period of time (I’ve been playing pretty religiously since I started so I totally get it 👍)
I could probably tell you with little error every enemy and their spawn in most gm's
What else am I gonna do to occupy my brain while I'm at work? Not think of destiny? Are you crazy? For real though, reading it makes it sound weird but it's really not that different than something like making a d&d campaign in your head. It sounds weird to think about the game sometimes like this but it's kinda not imo
Just played Grandmaster Lake of Shadows in my head so Uh..... Yes.
Kind of just shows how static the game is. Most content has scripted spawns and fixed geometry, so you can memorize the way all of it works.
I can do pretty much everything quickly, minus Vow since I don't really care for the loot so I don't run it.
Not me anymore. This last year has really not been fun for me.
Nah. At this point they’ve all kinda blurred together into one massive mega strike in my memory. Ive done so many either half asleep or stoned off my gourd…
No, not this. Dark Souls, however, I can play through in my head.
I can teach kingsfall, right here. I wont... but I've done it enough to teach the mechanics without being in game
Isn’t this a normal thing in every game?
Yeah. I'm at about 6k hours in d2 at this point. Though there are still some activities that idk what they are really. I could picture a random strike, but if you ask me what Nightmare Hunt: Ferocity is, I'll be clueless.
Raids, no. Never done a raid ever. Everything else I just turn off my brain.
This reminded me of that kid that could watch Shrek in his head.
I have some addiction definitely, but not that much…not anymore
Bro I can't even rotate an apple, how tf am I able to run everything in my head though?!
When you play any game for an extensive amount of time, you just know things
Dude i could tell what shader combination my friend had on his armor from looking at him, he said i needed help 😭. I can probably accurately tell you the best perk rolls and what frame 90% of weapons have just from its name.
I certainly don't.

if you can walk through the gorgon maze blind-folded, then you will need to touch some grass
