Final Fantasy Tactics. I saved before that one warehouse fight, my party wasn't strong enough to win the battle and I couldn't go anywhere to level up.
I did that for Agrias or something. Dude who turns into a goat-dude. God that was annoying, teach me not to use multiple save slots.
I got to see a friend of mine play Call of Duty 4 online for about 20 minutes without once scoping, using a sniper rifle. I kept saying "Scope or you cannot hit people more than a foot away." He replied "wanna bet?" He lost the bet.

After hours and hours of playing the game, I can safely say that I cannot play Smash Bros Brawl for the life of me.
I think it's because it plays so drastically different than Melee did. Every one of my tactics that I used in Melee are complete shit in Brawl; while Melee is about keeping on your toes, chipping away with attacks before setting up the final blow, Brawl is a much slower paced, floaty experience, and I haven't been able to adapt as well.
I just can't play this game, and it infuriates me to no end.
I really miss the lightning-paced, crack speeds that Melee offered.
I guess you could just play a really, really fast character, like pikachu or, hell, sonic, since you basically just described how to play him well.

Despite what you may have heard, Sonic is not fast. Oh sure, he runs around at a ridiculous pace and all, but his downtime between attack is atrocious.
Yea, I don't think you can kill the tanks but those soldiers rush back to you if you fire on the guys at the lorry. The hardest parts are that first helicopter and those damn wild dogs.
Med 2's ai is stupid aggressive. There is a reason. No I can't be bothered to explain it. It's in the code. Get mods.
I seem to remember somewhere that it has something to do with the fact that a factions military and diplomacy have absolutely no relation.
The only way to prevent every faction from ever attacking you is to use heavy garrisons on borders. The AI factions are huge pussies and will never attack you. They will, however, declare war solely to blockade your ports. Yeah, its bad.
OFP/ARMA: I exterminate EVERYTHING. Fuck the objective, fuck the rally points I kill the entire enemy force, single handedly because the Allied AI sucks. Its the only way to make the game fun. Because the chopper gunner's AI is so broken I set down (Eject) near a ammo point and grab RPGs and sniper rifles. Then I stalk and murder every single mother fucking, cheating AI asshole. Even missions where I'm on foot and the enemy has a chopper. For those I steal a HMG or a RPG and fire until I knock the fucker out of the sky. Missions where I'm a squad leader I just order my team to go play Hide and Go Fuck Yourself while I go murdernate the bad guys. Otherwise they all die in about four seconds and somehow kill me in the process.
Morrowind/Oblivion: I got so painfully bored that I delcared war on all living creatures. I exterminated as many people as I could. I had progessed fairly far into the "plot" so most of the people were glad to see me, right before I shot them right in the fucking head with my MurderBow 9000. The world was just...wrong somehow. I never felt immersed at all.
All of it. I don't think I've ever managed to play it right
Dunno if I'm playing it right either.
I just know I get some kind of... strange joy out of criting someone with my pyro.
All that loud pinging and fancy graphics forces me out of my chair, yelling "JACKPOT!" and I hold my hands out at my 360 for the rush of quarters, but instead of copper plated nickle goodness I get death and the charred remains of my adversary.
And then I play my axe like it was a guitar.
I thought you might be doing it right until I read the 360 part.
I also played all the way through Oblivion without any mods, the "vanilla" experience.
I've done both of these, wasn't terrible.
But in Morrowind I used the console to give myself ridiculously high strength so I could carry everything I saw, but I also broke weapons with one hit. I didn't like this after a while so I needed to drop them all so I could lower my strength and still walk and I made a tower 20 feet high out of swords.
So my friend (we'll call him Biff) was playing Oblivion, the Dark Brotherhood quest where you have to wipe out a, uh, family. In order to find out where the different family members are you need to talk to the grandmother (?), a kind old lady who lived out in the middle of nowhere.
So Biff found her and got the locations of the family members from her. But there were also other conversation options still open, one of which was something along the line of "I'm going to kill your family." For whatever reason, he selected this option.
Well.
This sweet old lady proceeded to preform some spell which took away half his health, then bolted, quickly reaching Flash-like speeds. Biff is desperately chasing her around the countryside, the AI not seeming to have any particular destination for her to go. Just when things couldn't get more hilarious, the wolves show up.
I totally did that wrong the first few times around.
Because
I didn't know you were supposed to do the revival pill. I got to the end, walked around in front of the Sorrow for a minute, died, and went "....What?" And I did that two more times before swearing I'd never play it again. Then I realized what I had to do, and did it and went on to beat the game about four more times.
As for doing it wrong...well this isn't wrong really, but in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, I refuse to use Force Push on the doors. Flinging bodies into them until you can go through them is so much more rewarding.
This may have been mentioned (only skimmed the thread), but I... uh... didn't realize that the Phantom Train in Final Fantasy VI was supposed to be killed with a Phoenix Down. I thought it was just tough.
I played hours and hours of GH1-2 without ever upstrumming. I only started doing it in RB because it has so many songs where your arm will just fall off if you try to downstrum the whole thing.
I can't really think of any other situation where I was doing it flat out wrong. My old roommate liked Halo, so we did some local co-op. While he was cowering behind cover waiting for opportunities to pop up and shoot people, I was running into the fray and fucking up their shit., then after said fucking, I'd head back to his hiding place and melee him in the face for being such a pussy.

I don't upstrum, and I can beat all of hard, and a good chunk of expert. My brain can't wrap around strumming upward for some reason.

He's not supposed to be beaten with a phoenix down and like all bosses in the game is pretty simple assuming you aren't criminally underleveled.
CQC left me feeling as if I were entwined in some kind of intricate dance with my controller, only if there was any stepping on any feet, I would be perforated. With bullets. It kept me on my toes.

Was he a SOCOM fan or something?

Lol, sniper.
Like, I used the slowmo powers, and then when I shut them off everything is randomly sped up to a ridiculous degree. It makes combat super silly
All that is missing is a benny hill theme

It's a great deal of fun, and the matches get pretty intense.
and this too
For some reason all this post reminds me of is "Snake, try to remember the basics of CQC..."
I...left a lot of bodies behind me.
The Sorrow encounter was...difficult.
But the one playthrough where I just ran around with the patriot. Goddamn did I ever learn my lesson.

I figured out CQC pretty well, but I still left bodies behind. That's how I roll.
