The number system in Fez was bullshit. I get what they were going for but who the frick would have multiple ciphers for the same digit in a mathematical system?
>Ride back home after buying a game >Read the manual in anticipation
Did other people not do that as kids? When I saw the braille in game I immediately remembered the page in the manual.
Occasionally, admittedly not that often.
Still they would want you to participate in the festivities so you couldn't really get to the game but reading the manual is another matter
Kek this
Never did the "hurr durr read the game manual on the ride back home" because i always got them as gifts
Also I remember i accidentally put chocolate on my sapphire box and tried to wash it with water, had to throw the box after 🙁
>shitty European walkable cities
literal reddit propaganda meme, our cities are only "walkable" if all the walking you ever do is to take the dog for a piss and buy bread in the shop down the street
Anything important like industrial areas or actual shopping centres is an hour of traffic away or gypsy filled buses that stop rides after 11pm
Only plebs and cucks don't ride their 1.9tdi sedans everywhere
>Anything important like industrial slop zones or actual slopping centres
The fact that people find these locations worthy of burning time*2 of their lives doing nothing but driving or sitting on the train says everything there is to know.
Riven and Obduction both have you learn unique numbering systems.
Problem with Obduction is that you don't NEED to learn the numbering system, the puzzles that utilize it are very easy to brute force (and most of them have the same exact answer so you just take a picture of the correct solution of one and you have the solution to most of them)
I won't complain too much about that though because I couldn't wrap my head around the Obduction numbering system at all.
My wife and I played through Obduction and she literally brute-forced the puzzle by deciphering the numbering system herself, only to learn that later in the game they just straight up tell you the correct answer.
I mean, fez is the obvious one if you liked the cryptic puzzle part of tunic, a warning though, the puzzles are much worse in that game, and were generally designed to be solved as a group effort by the internet, so you might hate the game.
It's not that bad. I replayed it a few days ago and have gotten pretty far into the postgame puzzles without any external guide or hints (except for the aforementioned dumb numbering system). Though if you miss the cues for the alphabet and the tetris pieces in the rooms that give them away and are crawling the entire map to try and make sense of them you'd be fricked.
Lunacid does this in some spots. Mostly it's for a secret weapon in one area, but you later get a spell that lets you speak to enemies and they all speak in the language on the right. They mostly say nonsense though, so it's not worth translating it just to learn that Snails like slime or some shit.
You weren't really meant to learn Runic'c fake language. Also, you were supposed to crowd source information with other players online to get the golden path ending.
>you were supposed to crowd source information with other players online to get the golden path ending.
You were? I did that shit myself and loved every moment of it Also, got a friend who translated the fake language within 2 hours of starting the game
I didn't have a guide or internet so I used my autism to decode the braille, I was a smart kid. Shame I ruined all of that potential with a porn addiction 🙁
Low effort garbage that bank on consumer brand recognition to get sales? Yeah, there are plenty of those in the market

Wait til you find out that representations are not unique in non-integer bases
wtf is a non-integer base. Did you just confuse decimal with integer Black person?
How young are you? Do you not know what "integer" means?
oooh I’m anon 643723503 I’m a homosexual I love wiener ooooh
a braille guide literally came with the manuals you hack fraud
What kid reads manuals moron
My brother went online back then to look up braille
I did and thats how I solved the puzzles you moron.
>Ride back home after buying a game

For me, manuals were for looking at the pics of the gym leaders
Your parents bought you games outside of your birthday and Christmas?

Why would you read the manual instead of playing it immediately? It's a game on a handheld console.
Because games used to put cool shit and good info in the manual instead of putting an unskippable tutorial in the first 15 minutes of the game
>unskippable tutorial in the first 15 minutes of the game
That's what Pokemon is.
Zoom zoom
Kids reading the manual on the drive home, you don't live in one of those shitty European walkable cities do you
>shitty European walkable cities

maybe if you live in a fricking forest

Me and my friends would read them at school
the ones with dial-up internet who also aren't terminally online
>mfw used the rosetta stone in front of the entrance as an alphabet guide without even knowing what braile is
Feels good to be high IQ

Fez. I think Commander Keen was the first game to do it. The only game where I learned a new alphabet was the runic letters in Ultima VII

RSE had braille translators in the manual, so it doesn’t matter.
