Notes in games
Awesome Locks | 4:35 PM on 01.21.2008 8 comments


While playing a good portion of Silent Hill 2 the other day I hadn't realized there was a memo function that logged pretty much every document that you pick up/look at throughout the game. I never noticed because I usually write down important numbers and dates and what have you on a little pad of paper that I keep on my end table when I play games such as Silent Hill.

Am I just that weird, or does anyone else do that? The memo thing is useful, but I like writing them down for myself.

If I'm playing a game where they give you combinations for stuff that's not in that room, I'll usually write it down irl. Because I have horrible short-term memory.

I never look back at things or write them down on a piece of paper. I just try to remember everything...which I usually fail at...

I too write things down and the 1st Silent Hill is a damn good example. Playing that song on the piano required a pen and paper.

I can usually just remember stuff unless it's a rather lengthy code, combination or pattern that I'll need a long way down the line.
mistic's Destructoid Blog
I've mostly got a notepad closeby to write some stuff down...

recently I've even started posting my laptop close to my seat so I can do some 'research' online while playing :-)

Gamefaqs is NOT research!

I miss games that make me WANT to do that. Haven't played one for a while that has made me care, for example, as much as the safe's code in FF7, figuring stuff out etc.

Im with you man, no game has made me want to do that in a long time. SH 1 and 2 I did it, and a few old point and click games I cbf naming. Most puzzles in games now don't require that much effort to solve.
