Guides are great things if you get stuck at a certain point in a game….I’ve played both with and without them…Some games are complicated, and it’s nice to read something to help figure out what’s going on…Others are fairly straightforward, and doesn’t take an Idiot to figure out…I played through all the Resident Evil series without guides, in that case, the fun was finding out what you needed and where it went…And that wasn’t all that hard.
They are also fun to read over after you have played…I got a Bully guide when I hit 95% to find out what else I needed to make 100%…I had already “Beat” the game….That is, finished Chapter 5, at 77%….And found it helpful…Some games I have failed to find guides for…Mostly older ones…Still played them anyway, and had fun anyway…Others, where I would get stuck for awhile and wish I had a guide….Any game where I could get to at least the halfway point, I would finish, regardless …Guide or No Guide.
Some games just suck, so guide or not, they will still suck…Doesn’t Matter…..
