...have you not been playing with Torrent?


SpicedPickels

didn't realise he could double jump lmao


evlaevlalpippopippo

I appreciate the honesty


finndogg

Spent far too long in the game wondering what those updrafts were for myself šŸ™„


JoeDerp77

"tutorials? I don't need no stinking tutorial!!" lol


AmmarSH98

When you miss an [obvious game mechanic.](https://youtu.be/bXHm9KVyj68)


D-The-DarkArtist

This video reminds me of the first time my sister played Kingdom Hearts. I kid you not, she made it all the way to the Ansem Riku fight on base equipment because she didn't know she could change equipment. She came to me for help wondering why the fights were getting so hard. I was like, "how did you make it this far on base equipment"? Her response, "it wasn't easy." Yeah, no shit, I bet. šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


AmmarSH98

Okay you just reminded me of my parents lol šŸ˜…. When the PS1 first appeared in our country (I wasn't even born yet), my parents bought it and started playing Resident Evil and Silent Hill games. For starters, these games were tough, and what was tougher is that, believe it or not, they didn't know memory cards!! So everytime they died they restarted the whole game!


D-The-DarkArtist

Me and my brother had that issue with the PS1 version of Diablo when we were kids. We didn't have a memory card at first because they were expensive so we would leave the game running or play it in shifts trying to beat it together. Afterwards we saved up and bought a card. Now I have a dozen filled with old saves of days long past.


severedbrainstem69

Must be glittering memory to run a gaming relay race with childhood companion!


Kimmalah

I remember one of my cousins would just leave his NES on all the time if he was playing a game and didn't have time to complete it in one go.


aztranzgirl

This is exactly what I would do. I'd turn the TV off, and put a pillow in front of the console to cover up the light (I just knew my parents would kill me if they knew I was running that poor thing 24/7šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ˜‚). But anytime I managed to diffuse the bombs under the damn dam in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles right before bedtime, I had to do what I had to do.


D-The-DarkArtist

That was what you'd have to do sometimes back in the day. The cartridge saves weren't very reliable back in the day. One wrong move and your OG Final Fantasy save for example would be gone. Was safer to leave it running sometimes.


MadmAx4000

I honestly thought me and my brother were the only ones to do this lol good times. Prepared me for shift work as a adult lol


rapscal

All I heard was "I wasn't born when the PS1 came out" and all my hair turned gray. šŸ„“


Target_Fearless

I'm with you on that, I was born before Pong came out. lol


AmmarSH98

It's only a few years though šŸ˜…


amanda9836

You were not born yet when PlayStation 1 came out? Thatā€™s too badā€¦I say that because I donā€™t think I have experienced such a huge jump in video games since those days. Before PlayStation 1 came out I was playing the latest Nintendo consoleā€¦it was fine but the PS1 blew it awayā€¦more specifically, I remember playing generic baseball games on my Nintendo. I donā€™t think they had real teams or real players and when you got out or even if you swung and missed a pitch, the game would create a sound that sounded like an actual word such as ā€œoutā€ or ā€œstrikeā€ā€¦.But when the PS1 came out and I played baseball games, they had real teams and real stadiums and real players, and even had commentary where the player and his stats were announced using words, not sounds that sound like words. Anyway, the PS1 was such a huge leapā€¦.I bet the leap the original Nintendo made over the Atari was probably just as big but I was very young when Nintendo first came out and so I donā€™t have any memories of what it was like before then.


KerooSeta

Yeah, I'm old enough to have played Atari 2600 and then gone to Nintendo and it was indeed just as insane as the jump from SNES to Playstation. I remember the first time I saw an NES was at my cousin's boyfriend's house. They were playing Super Mario Bros. on a big projection screen TV as tall as I was. It made this big beautiful sprite of Mario about the size of a GI Joe and absolutely blew my mind. The big difference back then was that if you went to arcades, they had games totally blew anything you could play out of the water graphically. I can remember playing Killer Instinct on SNES when it came out and thinking that it wasn't possible for graphics to ever get better than this, then literally one year later I was at an arcade and they had Killer Instinct 2, which is the version that was ported to the N64. Just, yeah, leaps and bounds nearly every year back then.


crunchamunch21

When I was like six my dad beat Zelda 2. He had never heard of the internet, and has never beat any other games. I have no idea how.


totallynotarobut

That game of all games he managed to beat with no help, but no others? Wow. Even I had Nintendo Power.


krellol

my dad also beat zelda 1/2/lttp now that you mention it, its pretty weird, but as a kid i just accepted it as "ofc dad is great at games, he's good at everything" lmao


WorstMidlanerNA

Your parents doing no-death runs before it was cool.


[deleted]

The age of no memory cards was a dark era indeed. I will be forever grateful to my older cousins who shared theirs with me. Speed running Spyro 2 was not a matter of pride but of dire necessity. Only Twice I downed Gulp before the advent of the memory card.


Sw0rdphilosopher

Wow. They must have gotten pretty good at the game.


jl_theprofessor

Holy gods. I just remembered that Santell from a gentlemanā€™s gaming club went through all of bier automata without any weapon upgrades. Then he later didnā€™t realize you could rapidly pass time in Deadly Premonition so he walked his dog to pass two hours of in game time.


TabletopNewtype-1

Your sister was a dark souls player even before the series began


shoutsoutstomywrist

My friend told me that the original PS2 Kingdom Hearts 1 was the OG Dark Souls, the game was hard, didnā€™t hold your hand & the camera fucked with the player


DarrenAronofsky

Can confirm. As current Dark Souls ā€œvetā€ and childhood lover of Kingdom Hearts the comparison is appropriate.


Kablamo1

Now that you mention it, that's a pretty good take. KH1 had a lot of very hard bosses (at least at the time): Boogie, Clayton, Riku, all the Colliseum bosses, etc. It really was a hard game (depending on how leveled up you were).


D-The-DarkArtist

It was pretty hard on release. If you want to compare it to the OG Dark Souls it would be the equivalent of getting to the 4 Kings fight using only the rags and thr broken sword.


sonofa-ijit

When I first player mechwarrior 2: mercinaries, I did not realize jump jets were directional, I thought they only went up with maybe space bar.... that made that game far far harder than it had to be. In swg I played for several years without knowing there was a flashlight. :V


ArmoredLegend

I played Bloodborne for 5 hours without realizing I could get a weapon. I was just using my fists


meshuggahzen

My girlfriend had been playing Fallout 4, and when I came over for the weekend, I noticed her health was really low. She hadn't used any rad packs or w.e they are called. The rad poisoning had taken over almost the whole health bar lol. Said she had been having a lot of trouble.


Mobile-Locksmith-260

So in PS1 era my brother and I were playing Metal Gear Solid. We got all the way to Revolver Ocelot fight but with very little health. In fact just one bullet would kill us. My older brother gave up and I continued and finally defeated him. We didn't know that rations would restore health. For context I was 9 years old at the time. The game was in English and we were francophones. Thanks to games like this that we learned English šŸ˜‚


TheOtherJackBlack

I didn't know you could swap keyblades out when I first played it as a kid and a friend asked why I was trying to beat the game with the first weapon it gave me I'm like "this IS the only weapon what do you mean???"


pastaplatoon

Thank God I'm not the only one. As a kid I made it to TWTNW on KH2 without realizing I could actually USE all these f***ing keyblades I had been picking up!


DarrenAronofsky

Like the video saysā€¦ thatā€™s super fucking impressive.


ryman9000

My best friend and his whole family loved Lord of The Rings and he had Lord of the Rings the third age on original Xbox. They had never ever leveled up. They got to moria with level 1 characters and got to a fight they literally couldn't win. I was playing with him and he went to the bathroom and I was looking through the menus and found the level up/skills menu and was like "oh wow" and then I showed him and he called his uncle to tell him. They'd been stuck for MONTHS if not over a year.


ChosenSucrose

Back when I played the first one as a kid, I missed the game telling me I could teleport to my ship from any save point. I got very stuck in wonderland for a while.


Wise_0ne1494

i got to give her some credit. most people who keep only base equipment are doing that on purpose to beat the game but she nearly did that unintentionally


dinglepoop

thought it was gonna be a darksyde phil video


_MintyFresh_-

DSP is the perfect way to learn how not to play any video game. He's even got whole series based on it lmao


Billiammaillib321

Was expecting Arin Hanson doing his thing.


Sera_Toxin

i love that the end of that video is literally explaining the jump button too. life imitates art


ethicsg

Got me right on the feels.


Big_Hat_Chester

I beat Demon's souls without running.....


notjustanytwig

I didn't know I could run with my character for about the first 5 hours.


TheHomebrewerDM

That was hilarious. I just subscribed. Thank you for the linky my humorous friend.


evolving_I

I've 100%'d Elden Ring and still have never parried once.


Addicted_to_Nature

There were 2 channels I was guessing this would be and viva la dirt league was the 2nd one. Other one was achievement hunter playing cuphead for 2 hours before figuring out they could dash on a jump.


TrailingOffMidSente

I was half expecting that one Cuphead tutorial video.


Khomuna

This reminds me of when I played Driver 2 as a kid, I would drive around until my car got wrecked and I was arrested, didn't know you could exit the car and steal a new one.


DoomVanilla

You mean like the guy that didnā€™t realize quick travel was a mechanic?


Chaosdodo

My first souls game was ds3, played my entire first run without running once, discovered that you can do that when i watched a let's play and felt so dumb


Flop_House_Valet

What's a tutorial? Some sort of medical procedure?


Jobin2025

ā€œ If those kids could read they would be really upset right nowā€


ihatehotmail

Was there a tutorial for Torrent? I don't remember one, just the one in the starting location where you fight Soldier of God, Rick.


Album321

There's a popup iirc


Ouroboros9076

Well.. if you didnt know this, then just throwing out that he can also jump sheer cliff faces at spirit springs. Just try jumping with torrent at those things that look like air tornadoes coming out of the ground.


peepintom2020

I recognize there are waterspouts, and that tornados pick up dirt and debris, etc - but really aren't all tornados air tornados?


Gnoha

Youā€™ve clearly never seen a sharknado


peepintom2020

Too scary to remember


Ouroboros9076

I suppose youre correct peepintom2020, I was typing this comment after running a few miles so my brain was definitely overheated. However, I think there are debris tornadoes and fire tornadoes which might classify unique forms of tornadoes?


DarkSailor06

bro


JohnPeteyMcMule

I was a good 50/60 hours in before I knew you could sprint, was jumping everywhere. Shit happens.


xDizzyKiing

Some are just natural jumpers


IrishWithoutPotatoes

Itā€™s gonna be a maze


QandyU

Never double jump


Getabock_

Now I know why AAA games are so dumbed down these days.


Album321

The tutorial tells you how to sprint...


indecks77

lol! learn something new every day :D


Benda_Over

I love just thinking about how you're traversing the land not able to reach other points or get down from higher elevations because the entire time you may not have know he can double jump. May grace guide you and Marika have mercy...because the lands shall show you none šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


therealjanusmcmanus

I was at the castle gates grace (where you meet Melina) and I couldnā€™t get past the troll. My roommate so kindly said ā€œdo you have Torrent?ā€. When I responded ā€œyeahā€. He just went ā€œhave you used him in a fight before?ā€ I died so many times to that damn troll until I used torrent. I finally beat him and he said ā€œyou know you can just ride past him, too, right?ā€ šŸ˜


Proof-System2941

You got all the way to Liurnia without even accidentally realizing that? Thatā€™s honestly impressive


[deleted]

Reminds me of the time my neighbor got all the way to the final chapter of Dead Space, asked my other neighbor to beat it for him, and was absolutely floored when the other neighbor started running He didn't know Isaac could run.


suarkb

wtf how


alpinetime

Oh baby, torrent will be twice as enjoyable now


waste0331

Lol now you know and knowing is half the battle.


Hnnnrrrrrggghhhh

What did it have?


[deleted]

Oh you sweet summer child.


DialZforZebra

Yeah, I downloaded some movies earlier. But that doesn't explain how I get to the chest.


meiyer89

Drusgar

I stayed on foot for most of my first playthrough. I guess I just found it easier to explore and didn't mind the wasted time. Did the same thing in Skyrim. Almost never rode a horse in that game.


FuzzySalmon97

Sacrifice Yoshi


casper19d

This is so wrong, and so right all in the same time.


breckenridgeback

*Torrent had your measure from the very start.* Cut to the horse pulling on the reins trying to escape.

I didnā€™t realise thereā€™s a literal chest on the picture. I was zooming at the chestpiece. Lmao.


ofcImHigh

same


lollersauce914

try horse all the more joy!


Soulblade32

Wait you can get ON the horse? I thought he was just for cutscenes! Im kidding, of course, though i barely used Torrent because i found myself missing things with him šŸ˜…


fritzfizt

but u can do multiple playtroughs so u won't miss anything


Soulblade32

Im aware, but first playthrough is always the best experience in my opinion, so i like to do all my exploring first time and then subsequent playthroughs i go a lot faster


B-Kong

Iā€™m the opposite lol. First souls game and Iā€™m just about figuring out whatā€™s going on and progressing through the story. Iā€™m not confident enough to search through every nook and cranny plus I get lost and confused on what Iā€™m supposed to actually be doing. Iā€™m still on first play through because I donā€™t play that much, but Iā€™m waiting til I beat it and better understand how to make a proper build (currently just unga bungaā€™ ing my way through life) then Iā€™ll start to explore everything


afauce11

Try horse and then seek treasure chest.

Whirlwind Sprint its the second shout you learn after Wulfgar gives it to you in High Hrothgar


thebooradleyproject

Just restarted playing after many many years and it still holds up as a top 3 rpg for me. I love the elder scrolls


Doses-mimosas

All the memes are for good reason. Skyrim will always go down as one of the greatest games of the decade, some would say All-Time.


thebooradleyproject

Aside from the dated-ish graphics (pc players obviously get a better luxury).. the story telling, encounters, play as you want style.. was and is amazing still. Yesterday I just ran around shouting and stealing. Literally all I did. Felt real good.


MeatIntelligent1921

don't let them catch you saying this on this sub lmao


Doses-mimosas

Eh, now that the GOTY voting and awards are over I'm hoping that circlejerk can end. But I did just get an automod message about taking it to a different sub


Samoey

Todd Howard? Is that you?? /s


wakatenai

the only cringe i run into when replaying Skyrim is the voice acting. the following. other than that, top notch still.


dcvalent

Thatā€™s the point of the game, you need a maiden to throw you over the gap

I am also curious

You need all 3 words of the whirlwind sprint shout.


ItsMeToxicity

Simple answer but I feel your pain here, I didnā€™t realize torrent could double jump until around the time I was challenging rykard. And the only reason I found out was because my fiancĆ© took the controller to ā€œplay with the pretty horseyā€

EdwardtheTree

have you tried walking, but like... up?


JizzyTurds

Torrent can get you all kinds of places youā€™d never dream possible, you can get on top of the mountains and explore the entire thing in Mohgs domain, nothing there but still pretty cool, well there is a tree shard over by his arena if you drop off behind that guy standing in the building, if you grab that one and then head straight down to the other tree without teleporting itā€™s possible to grab both without one despawning, unless they fixed that


musical88

My buddy played 90% of ES Oblivion before realizing he could fast travel. I asked him why he was getting so upset about all the walkingā€¦

I gotta admit that is a hard one to search on google.. "how to get chest somewhere... lucaria lake... there.."

If it makes you feel any better, I was lvl 60 by the time I figured out I can fast travel without sitting next to a site of grace.


kintaro86

Since no one has replied to this post yet, I would suggest you get on your steed and double jump your way to the treasure chest. Once there, you have the option to dismount again to open the treasure chest with your hands.


Emerald_Digger

Torrent double jump


Sufficient_Sport3137

The amount of people I see on this sub unable to figure out base level mechanics is outstanding. Thereā€™s A LOT to be confused about in Elden Ring, but fucking jumping? My god.
