whats a game that you got significantly far into, only to realize you were doing something wrong or missing a key feature/ability altogether? (lemmy.one)

I started playing Pokémon Red before I even knew how to read. I had no idea how to save and just assumed I would find a save point eventually like a bunch of other games. I have no idea how many times I dejectedly had to turn off the GameBoy halfway through Mt. Moon. I was convinced the save spot had to be on the other side.

When I first played I didn't know what Pokemon centers were. Everytime I needed to heal I ran all the way back to Mom's house in palette town
