Did anyone teach you how to play video games?

[LostOne]

Taught a friend how to play COD. He use to struggle to pull a 1.0 K/D. 2 hours later he was averaging 1.5 and a month later he was nipping at my heels.

Ya'll should do it, feels good knowing someone is beastin online and enjoying a game cause you taught em.

 

[the rhyme king]

it depends if i wanted to be good at the game i just read the booklet back when i was younger and i taught my self

but now i ask questions regarding street fighter 4 ae so yeah i was taught how to play video games

 

[ThatTruth777]

nope, kids today stupid tho...

meh.. they just want you to show em how to do everything because I guess they don't want to fail.. but then after its done they're fukking bored.. why? because they deprived themselves of learning it themselves and having fun

i remember the jump from 2d to 3d was tough for me, going from mario world to mario 64 was ...nikka was failing every jump but i eventually taught myself to perfection. But i remember the first fps on console using dual analogs (that excludes goldeneye) was Red Faction for the ps2..that shyt was rough to learn even tho i was used to pc shooters like half life ect..

That's the problem. I asked him why don't he wanna just learn on his on and he told me that he's afraid of dying and losing. Losing was probably my favorite part becuz that means I have to come up with a different strategy.

My lil cousin is tryna play Assassin's Creed 3 and every ten minutes he ask me how to do something . shyt is kinda annoying. But it got me thinking about Mario on Nintendo and I don't recall anyone teaching me. I just started playing.

So how did you nikkas learn to play video games?

Are you serious?

Just look at the controllers...

Games are WAY more complicated today than they ever have been,

You essentially compared someone teaching himself how to ride a bike to someone teaching himself how toe fly a helicopter.

I didn't have a problem going from 2 buttons to 6 to 8.

 

[stealthbomber]

[Roid Jones]

No one taught me anything, I had to endure countless loss of lives and ass whoppings before I got better.

there's constant tips and button prompts during combat and loading screens and not mention the long ass introduction chapters they have now. kids today are just lazy and want everything to be easy.

if they can't pay attention to glaring button prompts then they

lazy b*stards

Because you STARTED OUT with the two button controller, so you already had a solid foundation of how to play. Then games themselves also weren't NEARLY as complex as they are today.

That's still them being TAUGHT how to play the game. It's not some shyt they just pick up and play intuitively.

 

[wire28]

a nikka taught himself. i used to school my cousins on madden 04 and all them early maddens but then around 08 nikkas caught up to me so it started gettin real

All you had to do was press... A & B

 

[Fatboi1]

Never had to get taught how to play games. It's just something you knew how to do. I really don't like going online and having to read a walkthrough for a game I'm playing. One time though as a kid I was stuck somewhere in Bomberman 64 and I remember walking a mile to the nearest blockbuster store and sat down in the aisle reading a Nintendo Power magazine with a game guide for it.

i'm saying the op's lil cousin shouldn't have to ask because the game is constantly telling you how to do it by giving him button prompts and tips during load screen. lil dude could have pressed start and looked at the controller layout or just looked at the upper left hand of the screen where the button user interface is, and let's not forget that these games have some sort of gps to tell you where to go and what not. these kids are just lazy now.
