Not super crazy but I beat uncharted 3 on crushing without blocking any melee attacks. It doesn't show you the button prompt on high difficulties so I just assumed I was supposed to eat the damage. It got me killed often and made the final fistfight with the British guy a pain.
Have you guys ever finished games without knowing about core mechanics?

When I played oblivion for the first time I didn't know you could fast travel and I beat the entire game and many of the side quests without fast traveling at all. The vampire cure quest was especially difficult because I had to go all over the map. I ended up going from the imperial city to skingrad by stealing a horse, but I went too far and ended up in Kvatch. The sun was rising too and I needed a place to wait before traveling again, so I hid in one of the refugee tents to wait out the day, but apparently it wasn't shielded from the sun and I fucking died.
It wasn't until fallout 3 game out and I got the message that said "you've discovered several locations. you can fast travel between them using the world map" that I thought to myself "I wonder if I can fast travel in Oblivion"

I beat a majority of the Pokémon games by just leveling my starter and brute forcing my way through everything.

Didnt finish nioh 2 yet but I don't understand half of the mechanics in it. Such as gear, dark realm phase of bosses, and lowering yokai stamina

I was a dumb baby child when I played Pokemon (Gen I) for the first time, and I had no prior experience with RPGs. I went through the whole game without ever using items in battle, because the characters on the show didn't do it, and I considered it "cheating."

That sounds like hell, user. How did you even manage that?

i also beat luigi's mansion without the elemental ghosts because in the room where you get them i somehow glitched into another room that you can step on the ceiling if you touch some panels and i was going up and down cause i thought the animation was funny, then suddenly i clip thru the ceiling into a void then spawn in the "bowser" boss fight.
to this date i have not seen a single speed runner replicate that.
also beat some other hack and slash without knowing there was a secondary attack button

I had purchased Metroid:Samus Returns for the 3ds an beat it fairly quickly. It wasn't till i saw a speed run that i realized you can do cinematic type attacks to metroids when doing a certain new mechanic at the right time.

I beat kingdom hearts without being able to read at all. This is not a joke. I was 4 years old when the game came out and I got it for my 5th birthday that October. I didn't know what any of the abilities, items, or equipment did. All I knew is that the green potions healed you and I just kind of figured that the keyblades you got in the later levels were better than the ones you got from prior levels.
