Please tell us a bit about yourself and how you got into gaming, a bit about yourself, what your favourite games are. Let's get comfortable and get to know each other!
Eh, I've never seen anything really wrong with using guides, to be honest. =)
My family used to buy them religiously since we mainly played Final Fantasy and Pokemon games. Guides can help you with some of the more obscure side-quests, secrets, and mini-games, especially when the developer's stick in guide dang its like the Zodiac Spear in FFXII. They're also good for solving stupid puzzles, and just generally providing better tactics than you might have thought of yourself.
Right now I generally try and avoid reading guides unless I'm really stuck on a particular fight, or if there's some puzzle I've been trying to solve for hours. Really though, that's more of a stubborness thing with me, coupled with the fact I don't own a laptop so I have to switch off the game, march upstairs and then wait ten minutes for my computer to start if I want to look anything up. >.>
Anyway, sorry for the ramble. D'you like any Silent Hill games in particular, or just the first? Same with MGS and Pokemon, if you don't mind me asking. =)
Yeah, I wanted to get every nook and cranny in FFX so I got the guide and I didn't get far in FFX-2 but that guide was like a collector's item~ :D Mostly, I agree, I don't want to miss anything!
Ah, yeah I got internet on my laptop a few days after starting Silent Hill 4 so yeah, that helped. It's pointless if you don't have one though, more trouble than it's worth.
I have played Silent Hill 1& 2 but did not very far (I rent games, not buy them so it stops me from getting far :/) but I finished Silent Hill 4~ The games scared me too much to get far back in the day, lmao! I am very close with Sons of Liberty and the MGS2 (those are my fave), but I haven't played either in a very long time. As for Pokémon, I've beaten maybe half of them, if even (one kind from each generation up until GBA, since I don't have one xD). And my favorite was Yellow (so far).
