I unintentionally did this to my sister when we were kids. The beat-em-up Final Fight arcade game was for two players, so when I got the Super Nintendo game I thought it would also be for two people. It took us a decent amount of time to realize the second person, be it me or her, was not actually doing anything. Ah, to be a kid again.
Yeah we did this for tiny little kids who weren’t old enough to play properly.
If I ever manage to have kids I’ll be happy to play with them no matter what T_T
I do this with my 3 year old cousin. Was playing Horizon Zero Dawn yesterday and he’s hammering away on my Xbone controller. I was trying to shoot a rabbit and he starts yelling “Wait I wanna kill the bunny I wanna kill the bunny!” Kinda weirded me out, in that Damien from The Omen sorta way.
This is 100% something parents do; I’ve a friend who’s done this with his two boys and it’s a nice way for them to have time together and for Dad to unwind with some gaming at the same time.
I love the recurring digs at GamerCat not being as grand a gamer as he thinks he is lol.
I remember one time my dad did something similar–he called me in to show me how incredibly well my 3-year-old brother was doing playing one of the games on our Original Xbox (thank you, Microsoft, for confusing the issue with the release of the Xbox “One”). My bro was banging away on the controller and surviving the game on Ultimate difficulty. So, I’m shocked, can’t figure out how baby bro is doing this…
Then I realized the Xbox wasn’t on.
The VCR, though…
Dad had recorded a session of him playing on Ultimate to a tape (remember those?), put it in, handed my bro the controller, and just let the recording play.
Yea, this trick never worked on me. And I’d let them know, too. My parents, uncles, cousins… All learned that I was smart and dedicated to games at a young age. My uncle actually did this exact thing once. I gave him the controller back after I beat his score and told him thanks for sharing. Lol
My kids were to smart for this. xD they had it figured out that they weren’t actually playing super early on and I had to just start kicking them out of the room when they got to annoying.
