I was playing ESO for some time, finding antiquities by simply trying to find the excavation site by sight. Little did I know that there was a collectible that you can equip that point to its exact location.

Finding by sight sounds funny though!

Until you spend 30 minutes trying to find a digging site that you’ve walked by for 10 times already before you saw it in the corner of your eye / screen.

Went from hating antiquities to being a level 10 when I found that out.

Also having too many Sixth House tables, but hey, every apartment has one now?

I changed my control scheme in rocket league like 1k hours in. Really needed the ability to boost while jumping among other things. It was a totally brutal transition, but I’m glad I did it.

To this day RL is the only game I play with a claw grip for exactly this reason lol.

What did you map your boost and jump to?

I think by default boost is circle (PlayStation) and B (xbox) and jump is x (PlayStation) and A (xbox). I believe roll/slide is mapped to square (PlayStation) and x (xbox). I changed boost to square/x and the roll button to l1/lb. I kept jump the same. It makes it much easier to jump/boost/roll/accelerate all at the same time.

I still have jump on ps:x or Xbox:a, and mapped boost to rb/r1. Then drift and air roll on lb/l1

Bloodborne… totally ignored that the gun is there to parry attacks and stun enemies on my first playthrough attempt

oh damn, that’s one of the most important gameplay elements!

Though I remember Bloodborne being super obtuse about teaching mechanics

I played Valhiem early in its launch for like two weeks on my own server. Once I finally got my friends to join they were dismayed as to why I had dozens of broken copper pick axes in storage boxes.

I had no idea you could repair things and kept mining barely more copper than was needed to make a copper pickaxe.

The game got a lot easier after that.

I’m surprised you lasted that first two weeks

Path of exile. Had no idea about builds and tried to just play casually lol

Honestly, by now I’ve come to hate games where you can’t figure out how to play them from the game itself. It seems like nowadays you can’t play without a whole community figuring out what’s currently the meta way to play.

That’s the reason I couldn’t get into PoE. I’ve seen many critics about Diablo 3 & 4 being too easy and forgivable, but I’m not 16 anymore and I want to enjoy games without having to absorb a whole wiki beforehand. I even played Torchlight 2 with a respec mod because I don’t have time to fail a build.

PoE is absolutely brutal, in so many ways. For me it’s one of the charms. But man once you figure out builds the game changes.
