Guides/Walkthroughs

[DragonFox91]

How often do you use guides or walkthroughs?



I feel like any game is beatable w/ a guide & practice. I probably use them once a game, usually in games where I’m not sure what to do next or where to go next. B/c I don’t want to just waste days & days running around the map completely lost. But some people I talk to don’t use guides at all. If a game gets too hard, they simply give up.



I don’t like doing that. I want to at least beat the story mode of a game I get. I don’t like just leaving a game unbeat so resort to a guide once or twice a game to get thru.



I wish I didn’t do it at all but otherwise, it makes me feel like a cheater, but I don’t want to leave the game unbeat either! I try to rationialize it it'd be no different than talking to a friend who's gotten past the part I'm stuck on for help!

Games with puzzles are too frustrating for me without guides, unless the puzzles are simple and obvious. I also get lost in a lot of games so I have to look up where to go. I don't see it as cheating because I'm not making anyone a promise to beat the game without help.

Years ago I bought a guide for Final Fantasy X. It did help me get farther in the game than I was able to do on my own.

I try not to use guides or walkthroughs unless I get really stuck in a game and can't figure out what to do on my own. I don't think using guides and walkthroughs is cheating when you're lost and would give up otherwise. I don't like being stuck in a game forever. I guess I do like being able to finish a game on my own when I can, though.

I use them very extensively. I don't have the patience to aimlessly wander around and get lost forever.
