Walkthroughs

Do you ever use walkthroughs for games?

Do you use them when you're in trouble, or stuck in a particular part of the game, or you use them just to make your gaming experience easier?

I don't use walkthroughs, unless I'm really really stuck in a game. I'd rather find everything myself out. But once I finish a game, I'll use one so I can complete the game 100%.

I don't ever buy Walkthroughs, but I do skim through Gamefaqs when I reach a point in a game that I simply can't beat.

Yea I use walkthroughs from gamefaqs only when I am stuck at some point of the games but sometimes i use them just to finish a game quickly xD

Um I don't normally use them but then I don't play a lot of games..
Only if it is for a reference or a specific part of the game. I never use them before completing the game though..

No, I don't use at all... Though, if I get very stuck, I just go to handy-dandy Gamfaqs! ;)

I used to buy Nintendo Power player's guides because I liked the pictures. But the quality of the guides progressively got worse during the GCN era, so I stopped. I only pick up collectible Prima ones now.

I'll take a glance on and a while on GameFAQs if I'm stuck on something for an extended period of time - say a week or two. Or if I want to unlock something secret but don't know the criteria that has to be met.

I use the internet :P

But I bout Oblivion's game guide.

lolz

The only time I've ever had to use a walkthrough is for the Phoenix Wright/Apollo Justice games.

I used to buy NP guides all the time, mostly because of how colorful they were.
After they quit making guides I relied far too much on IGN, Gamefaqs, and Gamespot, and even now I view theirs from time to time.
Nowadays I only view them just for the pleasure of reading them.

Nope I don't use them, But I do buy them after I beat them

It depends, really. Normally, I'll just use GameFAQ's.
But i used the guide for FF12. Only reason I had the guide was because I was offered the collector's edition at a HIGHLY reduced price.

I use it only if Im really stuck in a certain part of a game.

I almost never use a walkthrough while playing the game, unless I'm seriously stuck and haven't been able to solve it within some days.

But after I finish the game I use a walkthrough, mostly as a checklist to see if I've done everything.
You see, I'm kinda like a perfectionist, and more than that, I love creating perfect savegames!

I do from time to time on really hard games or when I want to find certain things.

I use walkthroughs when I'm too lazy to actually think hard of what to do next in a tight spot

I use them rather generously when I get stuck, although I tryto avoid using them wherever possible. I figure that I'm better off checking the faq when I get stuck rather than spending 40 mins wandering around. What can I say? Some games just don't have a logical progression.

I mostly use walkthroughs from the Internet, simply because it is free. Even then, I only tend to use them when I'm well and truly stuck in a certain part in a game.
