Crysis 2

As fun as the ground slam perk might be, a far better use of nanopoints are the skills that save your energy, rather than deplete it in one go.

Star Ocean: First Departure

Do not go into the Abandoned Mine! Or if you do, take out your UMD after getting in there. The game won't load any random encounters. Reinsert the UMD when you get to a new area, repeat. It's a good way to get some neat items early in the game.

If you want to pick up all the collectibles during your first play through, Achievement Hunter has video guides for all of them.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Sometimes the owl will talk forever and then ask "would you like me to repeat all of that?" and the default answer will be "yes" instead of "no", and I think sometimes the default is "no" or the question is worded differently. So pay close attention so you don't start him up again unintentionally.

If you bump into a guy with a steel contraption on his head wielding a giant sword, it's a good idea to run and don't stop.

(On PS4 at least) This game requires you to have a Ubisoft account if you want to play while you're connected to the internet. You can play offline without an account.

This is not a joke, Lu Bu will mess you up until you are extremely powerful. His combos do absurd damage, his horse is crazy, he's fast as hell, he attacks you the moment he gets up from being knocked down and he HAS BACKUP in the mission where you can fight him. Do not pursue Lu Bu. Until you are properly prepared/until you have a friend playing next to you so you can collectively whoop his cheating rear end back to the stone age through modest use of teamwork.

Illusion of Gaia

Beyond that, just make sure you kill every enemy in the zone before moving on to get the most stat ups and explore thoroughly, some of the stages (Mu especially) are confusing as hell.

Oh, and the bosses just get more and more annoying, the boss of the desert temple is especially bad if I recall. Oh, and both Soulblazer and Terranigma are much better games in my opinion, but IoG has a certain bizzare charm.

Don't worry too much about getting every single stat-up for killing all the monsters. When you beat the boss of a stage the game will give you all the ones you missed.

There is effectively no penalty for death. Dying dumps you back in camp with nothing lost. Quests have limited "lives" and if you die that many times, you'll have to restart.

Soul Calibur III

BUY/FIND/STEAL/MAKE an EMPTY/CLEARED/SANITARY memory card for this game. Make SC3 the very first thing you save on it and if you have to move it make sure it's the first thing saved to that other card. It can become corrupt as it doesn't play nice when mixed in with other save files. Even if you have enough memory, and rarely move any files, this is the easiest way to save yourself a headache later on.
