Do you use walkthroughs?

For VNs? You bet your ass I do.

I usually do it to find any collectibles I missed in my first playthrough. Getting older means that I have less patience when it comes to finding 100 of X in a 40 hour game.
I also use a walkthrough when I realize that a game is mediocre but I've gone too far to just give up. It usually helps me to get through the rest further.Hector: Badge of Carnage has a lot of fun writing but the puzzles became too irritating for me by the end. Irritating, not hard.

why
>>343877895
I usually check it to know if there is ending for the girl I want. I don't want to sink hours in VN to realize that best girl is just sub character.

Meant to say faster.

Only on story focused puzzle-games, when the puzzle aspect is just secondary to the plot.

Wait. What? Why?
Yeah I do occasionally, just because if I don't I feel like I'm missing something (which may or may not end up being important).
For VNs almost always.
Why aren't you as good at video games as him, /v/?

Sometimes, depends on the game or how long I'm stuck on something. Like recently I was replaying Sonic CD trying to destroy all the Metal Sonic holograms & Wacky Workbench is hell to find anything in so I used one for that specific thing.

I used the resident evil extensively to get through REmake. Some of the key items you get in the game are so ahead of their usefulness i never knew if I should run aimlessly aruond with them trying to find the place to fit them or if i should store everything in the box

Longer VNs can take multiple days to complete a single route and worse still there are long VNs whose multiple routes only unlock if you do multiple playthroughs in a very specific order.
Ain't nobody got time to bruteforce that shit.

that's exactly why i simply download a save file

Disgusting.

Try 100 percent YU-NO without outside assistance. Maybe not all of them but some are absolute horseshit locking you out of this and that. Sara has limited clicks, Stein gate gives you a bad end for not taking a call.

I always play blind the first time. After that I'll usually try getting good endings for every route without referencing a guide, but if the choices seem random or I've had enough of that I'll use a guide.
i.e. definitely use walkthroughs for VNs like Everlasting Summer and Summer Radish Vacation 1.0, but you don't really need them for games like GnK and Katawa Shoujo.

Wasn't that released in 96, the era of strategy guides?

Good. the series turned to garbage during the goddess arc.
Worst girl won. I would've literally had preferred anyone else than fucking Chihiro.
