"WHERE DO I GOOOOOOOO~"

Holy crap, yes! 

[Kello 310]

Nothing. I don't hate anything~

When they I miss something so painfully obvious, that I wish I could punch myself through the internet. I dunno.

Figuring out something that was so simple and facepalming afterwards.

Can't answer the simple questions...

The OVER CONVERSATIONS between characters!

The worst thing EVER for me was my first play-through of Final Fantasy II when I got stuck in the very first dungeon, with no items, only Maria alive with about 9 hp left, and the steps were counted between random battles on the version I was playing, AND I WAS DUMB ENOUGH TO SAVE, so that when I turned it on, I would take two steps, get into one of the same two random battles, and die. EVERY TIME.

 

I finally got the hint and started the whole game over.  At least I was still close to the beginning, though.

Other than that, I'm alright with first play-throughs.  I actually sort of like getting a little lost once in a while.

Depends on the game. CloakedSchemerX voices a big one. If it's the type of game where you make choices that effect story, party, etc., I tend to get frustrated when I can't figure out how to get the optimum (in my mind) outcome.

WHAT DO I DOOOOO!?

[I♥KH 1,280]

In Persona: I can choose? But what happening, when I not choose correctly?? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

In Prinny: I have 1000 prinny=1000 live.

After 2 hour .... pff just 1 left... wait wait... noo noo gooes.. I pust the jump button, not the go button..

NOOOOOOFUUUUUU=Game Over

 

IN KH-I LOVOOOOOVE EVERYTHING.

Struggling on a part and eventually getting through it, then realizing how easy it was the second time. 

[dusk 910]

Well the first playthrough is my favorite generally, but lately I have been playing some Dark Souls and I admit how much I have just wandered around and trying to seek the safest route for me to take and I have lost my souls so countless times that I can't even count. (yeah I am stupid enough to go and die in same spot for same black knight twice in row because I am creedy bastard) 

[RoxSox 3,593]

The fact that I am losing my virginity for that game. Once you've played a game, you will never have that first time again...especially true for games that are amazing, but have a short campaign.

For me its following walkthroughs  <_<. I suffer from perfectionism whenever I play the first time and wish to collect everything while trying to know the story. This leads to disastrous results.

me too but i try to do it on a second walkthrough

[razuthor72 89]

My problem is that I go to play another game for a while like months and then come back to that game and I'm like "WHERE AM I? WHAT DO?!?"

Familiarity is such a nice thing in certain games lol

[Ace326 79]

Probably being OCD about getting 100% completions when it is not possible due to the lack of an item or weapon (like in DMC)

[mikethegamer 53]

Well quick time events on a first time playthrough are a pain. Especially in a game like Uncharted 2 where it's meant to be cinematic. Actually, any first time playthrough of any Uncharted game has had numerous deaths where there'll be a set piece going off and I'll die because I couldn't find the linear path to escape -_- I also hate it when a game throws its entire mythology at me and confuses me horribly. That's usually only JRPG's that do that. I also hate scripted battles. Well I don't exactly hate them once I realize it's scripted, but when it's a first time playthrough and a scripted battle sequence happens and I think I'm going to lose I start to panic. Persona 4's final boss did that to me. It nearly gave me a heart attack.

Learning and memorizing all the controls.  Especially with complex games because I just want to dig in and play!

[advfox 698]

I don't have a sense of direction, and I don't understand the game mechanics completely yet. But I still think the first is always the most exciting.
