using a guide is no fun though

then dont use one. Ill choose to and enjoy using it

but using a guide is like someone else playing the the the the game for you :/

it really isn't

unless we're talking about nintendo's Super Guide^tm

Before we had internet at my house I used their hotline for Skies of Arcadia Legends tips.

I would ask what the difference is between getting a physical guide and the internet, besideds price but idk if you guys who are against guides use the internet for game help

Sorry dude but you're wrong on this one

the alternative is spending 8934639yh4ry389473 hours testing every imaginable sequence of events in the game and you'd still be unsure of whether or not you've gotten the most out of it

with a game like dark souls, a guide is the best way to ensure you get the most from it in a reasonable amount of time

sure, i could spend a thousand hours randomly hitting at walls to make sure i'm not missing out on an important covenant or a hidden pathway leading to entirely new areas behind some arbitrary treasure chest in the middle of a swamp

or i could consult a guide and have it tell me so i can actually have a chance to experience cool things i would almost certainly have missed otherwise

Then theres things like the zodiac spear in ff xii
It requires you dont open four seemingly normal chests to get it.
How could you know that normally?
