You take notes when playing games too?

I used to not do that, and then I played La-Mulana, and that game ruined the way I play videogames forever.

I take mental notes, and or look up stuff if it's important.
I also cannot understand my horrendous handwriting after a few days. So, there's that.

I occasionally take notes of how many exp points I need to level up the party, or sometimes I write down the names of my characters to not forget them when I do a new playthrough.

Yup, number crunch mainly in timeframed games like preRyza ateliers, Nelke was a big one for keeping track of transferring buildings and workers around, Nights of Azure 2 trying to do all the events and quests in one non new game plus is crazy.

I think the it started with teleport mazes, I had a map called F**king stupid mission for phantasy star universe ambition of the illuminus the one with the kid running around.

The other big one was Final Fantasy XIII doing value over cost to see which materials were actually giving the most exp.

Once in a while, I guess. I took quite a lot of notes while playing Hotel Dusk and Last Window.
There is even an in-game notebook for you to write things down but I just used Notepad.
I relate to Michel because I prefer taking mental notes instead, and I have trouble reading my handwriting afterwards.

I did write down few things on paper

They were the only word puzzle i solved in SH1 (great game btw) the otherworld door puzzle before meeting lisa in and getting that scene... Where she walks and drips blood uhm before that shocker there is a door and a type writer device you need to figure out what to type the clues are names of "grim reapers" and the other clue is "from young to old" ugh remembering SH1 makes me creeped a bit XD , so i took a paper wrote down each name and then tried to solve the puzzle after so much thinking i input first letter of each name making it ALERT and it opens!

The other example is writing down the name of pictures of the art gallery puzzle that i havent solved yet i still have them somewhere might get a pic later..


I took screenshots of the piano buttons in FF7 and the numbers that hojo left behind

Depends of the game, but sometimes. The only game that really got me taking lots of notes recently was when I played Tunic blind (still need to finish that game, won't mention where I got to cause spoilers).

me: abc,bcd,cde......in final fantasy 1 then find out you can't change them!

I try to make a note of what my next goal is in the game so I can pick it up after months of not playing it and continue.
