7 Mistakes Every Gamer Has Made At Least Once

Oopsy daisy, Rob made a mistake again. Conveniently, he’s presenting a list of 7 Mistakes We All Make In Video Games - so you won’t notice. Hopefully. These are classic things everyone is guilty of, from mucking about with grenades to getting stuck because you skipped the tutorial. Don’t worry though - because everyone does them, no one has to feel bad about them!
Which of these mistakes do you make the most? Missing the all-important headshot? Pressing the ‘kill everyone’ button instead of the ‘save the world’ button because you forgot the control scheme? Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. In the wrong size. And then I spilled ketchup on it. Have we missed any obvious mistakes that every player makes? Let us know in the comments!

1. Grinding and farming for hours and forgetting to save. 2. Stepping into wooded areas in JRPGs at the very beginning of the game. 3. Falling for Bullet Sponge enemies that exist solely to make you waste precious ammo. 4. Failing a stealth mission because you whiffed a stealth kill and got caught 😂

[@vondiesel0822]

one mistake i will never make, is missing an episode of friday feature....especially since returning to regular weekly videos

[@falsealias2046]

I don’t always get flashbang’d. But when I do….. I threw it.

[@Buck-b6g]

Yes....me too, or like in Killzone when they literally give you a noise and visual indicator, I still have blown myself up more than I'd like to admit.

[@vigoroushero8623]

No mistake that's ever going to haunt me more than accidentally deleting my FF 7 save with a new save. I lost my ultima weapon, 4x cut materia omni-slash and had an almost ready gold chocobo. Still stings to this day.

[@Harmelcon]

If I add a rare and/or expensive poison to an arrow before my stealth shot, I will be certain to miss when the target moves at the last second.

[@Stealthdud]

"Looks like it's lasagne for dinner." I see Rob is also a fan of Findus. 😂

[@nickhamblin8179]

@Stealthdud if Findus had a Facebook page they could legitimately say 'Findus on Facebook'...

[@N0LES65]

I’ve said this a lot but man I have missed these so much. So glad it’s back

[@ShakesPotada]

Back in 1997 I remember forgetting to go to school for a week as I realised how amazing FFVII was..

[@Crocogator]

too many quicksaves until you get too deep and can't go back far enough. yes I'm replaying deus ex human revolution and yes I'm stuck on the second boss because I completely forgot about the electricity floor.

[@kendoyle]

A refresh/update when you've been away from a game for a while would be wonderful.

[@SethÚasarune]

Bring back games with a 'training' option in the pause menu

[@khamankhoma8232]

Can't tell you how many times I selected the sniper unit in Valkyria Chronicles, confident that I can take out an enemy scout or lancer that just moved into his line of sight, only to realize that they were out of bullets and I just wasted a move.😤

[@otterpoet]

Bloody hell. You included _Elite Dangerous_ in the 'no tutorial' section? Even *after* the tutorial and multiple hours of floundering about, I still had no clue how to play. That thing's learning curve is like a brick wall on the side of Mount Everest.

[@mulukh7]

Did I miss the mgs tally? Or was there none? Is Dave still in hiding until haloween is over?

[@claratalbot7613]

Here are few to add to the list 1. Not checking for traps, guards, or enemies are nearby before sprinting over to snatch up some treasure or not checking to make sure a treasure isn't boobytrap before trying to get it like thinking a treasure chest is safe only for it to become a mimic that eats you 2. Not being careful with your resources & wasting either ammo or healing items then ending up in a boss fight with only your tiny knife & little to zero healing items 3. Picking up everything you see because your simply pressing buttons to quickly explore everything & getting over-emcumbered before you have a nice place to store all of your stuff 4. Skipping through dialog & then either making a companion angry or not knowing what is going on before ur meet with a choice & accidentally selecting the bad one 5. Ignoring warning signs and then rushing right into danger because you decided not to read the sign or didn't listen to a character & now your protagonist is dead or your having to fight enemies you could have avoided. This also applies to losing your patience to pick pock a guard at the right time so that your not spotted because you failed to pay attention to your little icon that says if your hidden or not

[@Adkhean]

I feel like Dave forgot to tally th MGS references for a while!

[@owen6434]

The mistake that comes to mind for me is accidentally restarting the course instead of going back to the previous checkpoint on Trials. Especially traumatic on really hard courses

[@nickhamblin8179]

A nice throwback to the 2013 horsemeat scandal. Reminds me of Charlie Brooker reacting to the news some Lasagnas contained up to 100% horse meat: '100% horse meat?! That is a complete 'mare!'

[@marybdrake1472]

Check the control scheme. Yeah, I had to do that when I returned to Elden Ring. I had been on hiatus for so long I had forgotten the set up. 😅

[@redvalkyrie84]

"looks like its lasagne for dinner" ROBERT!! I just about spat my mouthful of tea all over my computer!! Well played.

[@laterferaligatr2947]

Rob was on his A-game with the comedy today yo. I was cryin🤣🤣🤣

[@skimop323]

We all know that for the captures where the horse crashed. It was David who played. XD

[@thorstenbrandt6256]

The hitting every small boulder thing has Ubisoft written all over it. Everything you drive or ride in their games is moving as good as a sack of cement or a piece of wet soap, there is no middle ground.

[@Shepherd_Tallon]

Best intro to a Friday Feature in years 🤣I've restarted three trimes now to watch it over again.

[@panda_kebab]

I am the Kebab! 😂 Bloody RDR2 has always messed me up- my poor Gary (my horse, actually Gary 27 by now. "What have they done to you Gary?!"😂)🦄 Plus, I love failing my Hitman set-up to just go guns free to see how long I can last!

[@uPerigoso]

That part with the horse on the mountain, with the sounds of them falling was so funny, Rob making ouch faces... But that punch line... Lasagna for dinner made burst in a literally LOL... Congratulations, I tip my hat to you good sir, that was fantastic.

[@Vohaul86]

Not a PlayStation mistake, but I will never forget when I was playing Thief 2 and in a church's catacombs sneaked behind a cultist to blackjack him - just to get him laugh with an eerie voice, because it was an undead (and of course immune to knocking out). Darn, that scared the living daylights out of me. (Also, that was the quickest I've ever hit the Esc button to pause the game...)

[@mikkdc]

Game choices for mistake number 2 are spot on! Those are two PERFECT examples of games you absolutely DO need to follow the tutorials for.

[@JoaLoft]

I felt that MGS entry so much. It's true: that little *pzziuuww* will never not feel embarrassing. Blasted ancient world control scheme.

[@Raytheus]

I would love to see a list of seven ways a protagonist receives a power-up.

[@TheSpiderPan]

I'm one of those people that grew up with game manuals with Atari on up. I always read them. I've never skipped a tutorial on a new game. Sometimes on a game that I haven't played in a long time that I've forgotten everything.

[@RhysBritton]

Surprised you didn't mention this one Rob: Being a PES player and crossing while trying to shoot when playing FIFA, and vice versa!

[@alialmuhanna4938]

9:47 Oh I know this one ! What Yahtzee Croshaw calls a “Cockup Cascade” ! 😆😆😆

[@JopieHaargel]

Saving up rare consumables for "when it gets REALLY tough" and subsequently finishing the game with an inventory full of unused legendary buffs

[@KennethPNielsen]

So Lasagne is one of Rob's favorite foods? ROB MY MAN!!

[@zazoreal5536]

The swapped back button....oh boy! I have a long history with that....Specially when switching between Final Fantasy games and other games.

[@gunnermaddog]

This list needed this: We have a code red. A non- stealth situation. I repeat a non-stealth situation.

[@steveslenderman]

No mistakes…only happy accidents

[@Denashi]

I have NEVER... not made several of these mistakes! Speaking of RDR2, one mistake you can make, is using your sawn off shotgun when shooting the shackles off an escaped prisoner... it's all kinds of messy!

[@TRWM735]

That MGS entry was so relatable 😂😂

[@Dan-sc2pi]

I can honestly say I haven't done 1, 2, 3, 5, or 6 (4 & 7 I've done thousands of times) ... I make a ton of mistakes, but apparently I've created new ways to fail, like accidentally using a specialized build in a general gameplay session or not realizing there is a time limit and taking my time discovery everything in the area... :D

[@AtoZed-sd2bw]

I fell through the map because I was racing around and hit a rock while playing Far Cry 6 😂😂😂

[@johnnydeath1616]

Oh please people, every game that's has character creation make Rob, LEEEETZ GOOOOOO

[@thefrozenwolf13]

Hit man is the one that I do the most 🤣🤣 the hit the small rock and go flying is funny but annoying

[@SapphireDragon357]

My personal favorite is "The difference between a novice and a master is the master has failed way more times."

[@dychrisshandonsmith1242]

Keep it up on your work and this video and channel I love this video and channel Thanks you for your video and channel

[@supergluehotty]

Stardew Valley. Leaving a bomb in your hot bar. There is no greater pain. What a lovely set of statues of endless fortune I had. Time to reset.

[@makareone]

I ran Arthur into a thousand trees before figuring out the button that basically lets the horse steer. The horse, having a formidable will to live, manages to avoid such things.

[@fredelmalo]

301 club!! 🤘🏻🎸

[@nothanks6549]

Ah, another person who was there when the old magic was written.

[@digiing1992]

Getting a rare drop (did I say rare, I MEAN SUPER RARE! What is with that percentage?!) from an enemy mob, then getting to a new area and, yep, you got bodied before saved getting that rare drop. That mostly leads to me turning the console off

[@kiraya87]

I'm surprised Rosie Shepard wasn't chosen as an example for entry #1 ^^

[@poormanplays8158]

SF6 character looks like Popeye in reverse😂

[@tomh3627]

I got about 60 hours into Fallout 4 before accidentally discovering the V.A.T.S system. I wasnt concentrating, and skipped that part of the tutorial 😳

[@danny3120]

Number 8: When you play an old game after playing modern day games and forget that there is no autosave, and lose 8 hours of progress.

[@ThePOSM]

All so true 😂😂😂 Character creation is all about making the funniest abomination possible 🤪 Additional, i ALWAYS do tutorials on games i havent played 🤓 The RDR bit, yea.. last time that happened to me, i sucker punched an old lady walking past the butchers 💀💀😂 ... time before that, yea... bang, whoops!

[@Boomtings22]

My stealth always turns into an all out war and bloodbath lol

[@MartynJamieson9]

For number 1 ballsing up the character creator is part of the fun. And for me can say I never create myself in games any more i just don't think my features are cut out to be or look heroic in a video game I tried it once with Mass Effect and I looked absolutely rediculous as a video game protagonist lol Nah in all seriousness I prefer to create complete utter monstrosities just take a look at my custom royal rumble matches for proof 😂 lol the create a character/Wrestler features are like a endless sandbox for me to create anyone I can think of from Knock off Thundercats to the odd old ex teacher or 2😂to weird and wonderful and bizarre characters lol The most fun I have had is seeing them in action 😂

[@MetaManGamingTM]

Or when you make an amazing looking character and accidentally hit the reset button and have to start editing again from zed. I do that one way too much

[@MartynJamieson9]

@@MetaManGamingTM Yeah been there too

[@SethÚasarune]

Anyone can be a hero, Martyn. Don't let Hollywood fool you.

[@MartynJamieson9]

​@@SethÚasaruneThanks for the comment mate. I guess we all can be heroes if we believe in ourselves

[@AshleythetigerUK]

1. Ah i recall making a Gta 5 character then giving them a top hat, unfortunately, shortly after, i was forced to change outfit, that eyebrow ridge that fit my top hat nicely suddenly didn't have a hat to cover it up, needless to say i didn't continue. 2. Tutorials is one of the things I'll usually always do, especially cause of trophies. 3. RDR2 reloaded this, ok R2? is the interact with horse button *Bang!!* no, no it isn't... Here's an old one, FFVIII (Ps1) made a save of a rather nice cutscene (Dollet? Boat) carried on until it's 3 hours later, time for bed, let's save, oh no saving over that cutscene.... panic, quickly turh off console.... is it safe? Nope cutscene save is corrupted, oh well it's like 40 mins in, I can quickly get there and make a new save, I'll just quickly check my progress.... oh no I quit the save, meaning those 3 hours of progress are gone, why did i panic and turn the console off.

[@jekebe4858]

7 is known as 'Going Full Mike' in certain circles.

[@c.argelfraster1291]

That opener tho 😂

[@regenorakel]

Nothing against "Kebab come Deliverance", but I do think that "Kingdom come Kebab" has a nicer ring to it.

[@theoldman7739]

I play Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) and get the snowball effect all the time. I want to go to the delve I've been walking to. It is too far to walk so I get out my mount. No materials (mats) were seen before I get on my mount. The moment I pull out the mount and take 2 steps. Mat. I pick it up. There is another. I pick it up. There is a 3rd. Oh, there is another one. There's more. Before I realize it. I'm twice the distance I was to the delve. Than when I started going to it. Wait, there is a fishing spot. Oh well, I need fish. No more delve. rinse and repeat.

[@patrick_star67]

Hello Rob! you've caught me on my birthday today! 🎉 thanks for great video also :)

[@firestorm5432]

I loved ghost recon wildlands and breakpoint I always tried to play stealth sniper but it’s so easy to miss and there’s no checkpoint restart option 😢

[@TomAndrews91]

Number one hasn't happened to me legit because I spend way too much time on character creation screens.

[@Pelling1993]

So often on the character creation menus. I make a character that looks good looking straight on. Then pan to the side to see the abomination I’ve created. Certainly not one to go on a coin!

[@donaldmillsap6867]

An appearance by Dan, nice its been a while.

[@BattlestarDamocles]

Surely you won't need to explicitly check the control scheme if you do the tutorial, right? I mean, some of us do anyway just to confirm what every button does. I have made mistakes 4 - 7, but not 1 - 3.

[@Ricky-qq2bz]

Cross Rob its cross!! 😂😂

[@RoyRope]

I can't help to feel bad for the horse when I crash into or of something in rdr2.

[@Rojiace]

That rock came out of nowhere.

[@SentiNel090]

One mistake you just made is not including the MGS TALLY!

[@zazoreal5536]

Rob.....Where can we meet up.....I want to look you in the face and say I have not made a messed up character in a character creator Ever! Unless that is all you can make in the character creator! Looking at you Elder Scrolls! Specially Oblivion! You can only make your character look so Good! Mind you! It looked good back then because it was the best we had at the time.

[@davidludwig7501]

Yikes, I've done all of these! I love it.

[@MJ-420.]

I can never forget the buttons on mgs games it’s not possible

[@fidget18s48]

Look at the beautiful view from the top of this mountain. More like look at the state of that horse. Clean the poor beast

[@itsdeonlol]

Forgetting to save often if auto save doesn't exist.

[@gordontough]

Or if it is an option - C play in 1st person so you don't have to look at the monstrosity that you have created

[@AvidCat5000]

I don't miss steaks if I can eat chicken.

Yes, I've done all of these. No, I've never learned my lesson.

[@nanayaw7274]

Crossing when you wanted to shoot 😫

[@SethÚasarune]

Well I also like to form about steaks.

Tried out a new position last night. It was called "The Vacuum." Turns out, it's more about cleaning up afterwards than the actual fun🍓

[@1peuxgxg]

My boyfriend suggested we try something new in bed. We ended up debating the pros and cons of different mattress firmness levels. Who knew sleeping preferences could be so stimulating🍭
