Have you ever used a walkthrough to go on in a game?

OH YEAH


I'm not proud of it, but I don't know how you get through the Opera House in TR 2 without at least a little help. Ditto for parts or TR 4.

In Tomb Raider 4, to collect all Golden Skulls.

In Hexen II, to avoid ending up in an Asylum.

I usually use guides for collectables.

Stuff like Dark Souls would take years to find all the rings without a guide.

Yeah, many times. These days I use youtube for my walk through's if needed.

I agree... big games such as the dark souls and fallout games have so many secrets and hidden elements, it would be nearly impossible to find or unlock them all with resorting to a guide.

Back in the 90's when strategy guides were still a 'thing'. :/

Heh. Yeah, I still have half a shelf of Brady guides from the PS1/PS2 era. Gamestop gave you a discount if you bought it at the same time as the game/at release.

Back then, when I had a lot more time on my hands, I'd play a JRPG twice - once without the guide, and then once with the guide to try to see everything.

Then there was the GameFAQs era, where you could look up text guides to various things, like finding secrets. I'd sometimes do a search for those, when a game had some really annoying/confusing thing.

Then it all switched to Youtube videos and Let's Plays, and everything went to hell. Sucks when all you want to find is a simple text guide that you can search for a keyword in, and all there are is 1hr+ videos with some idiot chattering in the background. Youtube/Streaming/Twitch culture really brought gaming down.

I still own a number of guide books I bought back in the day..

Vietcong
Half-life 2
Dark Souls 2 and 3 and many more and I even own a fallout 76 guide book from like 5 years ago.

After my first playthrough, yeah, to see what I missed. First time I did that was with Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Can't remember how much I missed but the biggest thing was the Biggoron Sword.
