    Default Do you use walkthrough for complex games?

    Just for clarification, walkthrough is often a full spoiler of a game. Well, do you use it and if so, how often?

    Walkthrough could be in form including magazine info (ie Nintendo Power), $20 game guide, or free guide on the internet like www.gamefaqs.com

    I only use em on a part where I get stuck or miss what to do next. I never read ahead in the stories and I try to avoid as many spoilers as possible.

    I use them on RPG's for one reason: I HATE TO MISS STUFF! I hate it when I go through a game and I don't find all the secret stuff because I don't have time to go through it again. But I limit myself to only looking at the "Secrets" sections.

    Yes I use them if I've been wandring around for 10-20 minutes with no clue what to do next.

    I only use them if I get truly stuck on a game...

    I have only used 4 walkthroughs ever...

    Luigi's Mansion (used on one area)
    Super Monkey Ball (now completed)
    Tomy Hawk Pro Sketer 3 ( I got stuck, and couldn't figure out how to do some of the goals, still haven't been able to complete the game...my skill isn't good enough to get some of the goals...)

    and now Super Monkey Ball 2. I only used it on 2 levels so far, I figure 45 minutes is long enough to try to pass one level

    RPG'S is when I use strategy guides so I can find everything easier. For me it enhances the game.

    How else can you find the +5 crystal sword of dragon slaying?
    Fear your thoughts because they become your words
    Fear your words because they become your actions
    Fear your actions because they become your habits
    Fear your habits because they become your character
    Fear your character because it becomes your destiny

    Therefore: Thinking and nurturing positive thoughts, at any point in your life, can change your destiny.

    RPGs mostly for me, especially when stuck looking for something important.
