>Using guides on your first playthrough
why would you use a guide on the any playthough?
To get secrets?
don't be a scrub and explore.
fucking faggots using playthrough at all for any reason,
fuck you, you fucking casual
>>337329120
For the sake of pvp
I don't play games to explore every goddamn suspicious texture, if I want to streamline the process when I get stuck I will. Fuck off
>>337329286
This, especially if ti turns out the complex crytpic puzzle was poorly made.
I made fucking notes and had fun and then sheer autistic "step by step muh secret" shit ruined it so I used a guide.
>guides
Is this 2004?
I only use guides to find weapons that I already knew I wanted to use before I started
>>337329035
Unlike some who have time privilege I don't have time to play a game multiple times so the first play and only playthrough has to be efficient.

That's why /v/ needs a safe-space where people can discuss things without fear of micro-aggressions.
I only do this for RPGs with points of no return and hidden sidequests.
Looking at you, Trails series.

I can't help it, anon. I want to experience it, but I am poor.
I'm sorry.
>>337330040
Okay I'm bad at finding an item that I already knew existed and didn't want to miss, sorry spongeposter
If a game has missable collectibles you bet your ass I'll have the location guide out
>>337330167
Why don't you try looking for the weapon?
>>337330182
This.
>GTA V
>50 letter scraps
>50 space shit parts
>30 nuclear waste underwater
You're insane if you spent the time to find every one of those without a map.
>>337330236
The weapon could be buried far in the game for all I know, I just like it. It's also pretty average and just a single weapon so it's not like I'm breaking the game with it.
>>337329035
>brother used to buy guides in order to cut out pictures of the characters to play with them
>>337330368
>wasting time finding those collectibles
>>337330372
But how did you know that the weapon would be in the game without looking it up?
>>337329035
Only if the game has a shitton of hidden things that can be lost behind points of no return
Fuck points of no return, seriously
>>337330741
It's consistantly been in the previous games
>>337329035
But DeS and DS1 needed me to. I didn't want to mess up my stats and be all "20 points in each stat!"
>>337329120
Okay have fun finding all those parts in Armored Core. Its literally worse than a needle in a haystack sometimes.
>Reads guide
>"It should be right here..."
>20 minutes later WTF it was so tiny no player would find that shit, maybe one in a million.
>yfw you find something not in the guide...
Those parts were too hard to find.
>>337329120
I beat the entirety of DKC3 without knowing you could water skip.
I beat the entirety of Bioshock Infinite without knowing you could combo spells on enemies.
Plus I've never played it myself but just about every single person I spoke to who played Dark Souls had to use a guide at some point.

>>337329035
cause id actually like to complete dark souls alright? i would have quit like 6 times by now.
I always use guides for an area AFTER I'm done with the area to see if I missed anything.
I think it's a good compromise. I still find everything on my own but I get to guarantee I didn't miss anything.
I just wanted to know where to get the Elite Knight Armor
I had so many things spoiled
So many things
I have a limited time to play video games but I also still have the same need to find every single secret I had in my youth and to get the best outcome.
>>337333475
This, they fucking had a dead dude in elite knight armor at the very start but you can't take it. Talk about a cock tease.
I used the wiki to make sure I didn't miss any of the quests in Dragon's Dogma
>>337330040
I'm great at fellatio actually, faggot.
>>337333886
same
>>337329120
t. someone who doesn't play video games and spends all his time on /v/ pretending he does
I don't actually use a walkthrough unless I think the game has bugged out on me, but I go to a walkthrough pretty much every game I play to see how far through the game I am
You'll miss out on like majority of the quests in Xenoblade if you don't use a guide, some of that shit is hidden really well.
