General Video Game Rules for the Newcomer

General Video Game Rules for the Newcomer

1. If your guy has wings, the bad guy WILL rip them right off at the very beginning, and you will never fly without the aid of a vehicle or flying monster.
2. There is nothing you can't kill. Except civilians. Then you're in big trouble.
3. All items have a finite supply. Stock up to 99 on everything. Trust me, if you play often, you can always afford it.
4. I find that games with a lot of traffic of either civilians or vehicles are among the most difficult to play. I say go for it!
5. Video games based on movies are almost always the worst. Especially the ones with superheroes. The same goes vice versa, so avoid them as often as possible.
6. If you get lost easily, draw yourself a map of the surrounding area. Try to use landmarks and symbols too.
7. If a boss proves to be very difficult to defeat, write up a strategy of tested attacks that work best, when to use them, and how often. This always works.
8. If all else fails, blow it up.
9. Never EVER sell all your old weapons to get a newer, more expensive one. Because for one thing, you might need one of your old ones and you won't have it, and for another, an expensive wepaon may prove not to be the most useful.
10. Remember! The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over, and expecting different results. Always try something new!

I always wanted to teach someone something. But I'm no good at anything useful, except video games. So if you're new or just no good at them, here's some general rules.

Fifth rule is changing however, too bad its not quick enough, theres still plenty of shody movie-to-game and vise versa titles around.

A nice list.

Stitchy Says:

Perhaps you should say that you should be "wary" of videogames based on movies, and not just say they're the worst. But, the rest of the list is awesome. ^ ^ Maybe add some stuff about MMORPGs?

zapgirl Says:

THE SECOND RULE IS YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT VIDEOGAMES.

Just kidding. I'm sorry I missed you, love...and I had just been hoping to catch you, too ._. ...

Anyway...I like this a lot. I'm not too hot on video games (I suck!) but you can teach me!
