I try to figure it out first for myself, then consult the walkthrough. As I've gotten older (and have less spare time) I find myself getting the walkthroughs out way quicker than I used to lol
I try not to but I'm not gonna lie. Sometimes by brain isn't as smart as the game intends. I rather use a walk-through and continue playing then give up altogether.
I have no moral objection to it, but I play as much as humanly possible before having to consult a guide. Sometimes I need to for something convoluted, but it's rare. If you do, have at it!
I will always try to figure a game out but I already have very limited time to game so there’s no use in spending more time than necessary on one spot.
Absolutely you want to find how to get better at a game? Walkthrough…. If you have ever watched a tutorial on how to get better at MK8 (you know TTers), Fort, OW, RL, or CoD that is a walkthrough of...more
First thing I look at before starting new game is a trophy guide just in case there's any missiles. No one wants a whole extra playthrough for 1 trophy. I doavoid looking at ant story related stuff t...more
Absolutely. It makes games more enjoyable. I remember how much more fun I had playing Super Mario 64 after getting a hand-me-down official guide with several missing pages as a 6 year old kid.

Sparingly. I really prefer not to…. Then there are those times you’ve already spent 15-minutes trying to spin a puzzle thing to open a door, and it becomes a matter of saving your own real-world ...more
Its very helpfull if your new to that type of genre of game and it's just all around a helpfull guide to so your not going into something completely new.
Depends on the situation, but if I'm getting ready for a boss or something, I'll definitely look up a guide on what strategy to use against them. Sure, it doesn't help me beat it first time 100% of th...more
Usually, I'll do what I can without a walkthrough and then go back and use the walkthrough for what I missed. I like the challenge of doing what I can without the walkthrough; but ultimately in order...more
Ditto most answers here - if I get stuck, I’ll give myself maybe 5-10 minutes of trying, then look it up. I usually don’t have a ton of gaming time so I only want to use that time having fun.
I always try my absolute hardest not to. I play a lot of puzzle games and the fun part is figuring out how to solve them on your own. Why play if you're gonna have someone else solve it for you? Only ...more
I usually try to wait until I absolutely cannot figure it out. But you might be surprised how quickly the immediate and very first challenge of Hogwarts Legacy will do that to me 🤣
I do, but I try only to use them when I've gotten very frustrated or have already tried hard enough lol. Or I'll also use them if I'm trying to 100% something. Carrion last week sent me straight to a ...more
Yes, because why not use those resources to your advantage. Stuck on a spot for 30 minutes and frustrated, then just look it up so you can complete it and move on in this game your enjoying. Yes, it d...more
Yup! I had the physical guides for Final Fantasy 8-10 as well as a couple other ROGs. Friend of mine had one for Ocarina of Time and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I’ve been using some ...more
Honestly, I try not to because I want to figure it out but I do sometimes.
It prevents me from quitting a good game just because of a difficult puzzle.
Once I start to get frustrated with a part I will use a walk through. Video games are meant to be fun. If you aren’t having fun, then don’t play it. So yes, I’ll use a walk through!
My general rule is I won't consult a walk-through until I've beaten a game. Nowadays that really means beating the main story line and then using it for side quests. TotK and BotW are good examples.

I love all the "yes" answers. Because absolutely yes. And I'll play on Easy too. I don't have time to be frustrated or rage out over a game. No shame in looking things up nowadays. I won't start with ...more
For those hard to reach achievements. Or if I am just trying to get through the game because I don't like it enough but just enough to keep playing it.
I'll use them if I'm either stuck or if I feel like there's a way to get to something & I'm missing what I need to do to get there. I have no issue with looking at a walk-through to help me through so...more
I certainly give it a good try before I go to a guide, but I ain't got time for overly complex problems these days. So I'll use the guide when needed or I start to grow frustrated.
Generally no. I may consult if stuck.I just read the other answers and want to clarify I am not one of those “get gud” have to play on the hardest settings types, as much as I want to just learn a...more
I definitely for a Game franchise or genre that I'm no where near familiar with so that I can get the basics down and know what to look for in games in that genre
Absolutely! I may set myself a limit or a goal to hit before I start using a walkthrough, but why bang your head against a wall on something that’s supposed to be fun or relaxing?
If it's a game I care about and want to beat then absolutely. As a kid I would use the walk throughs in Nintendo Power. Now, it's all over the interweb. I want to enjoy games, not be frustrated by the...more
Before having a kid never. Had all the time. Could figure things out bc there was no rush.
Now that i have a kid if I’m stumped time is limited baby. Where’s the walkthrough
I tell myself I won't, but 25% through I get stuck and well, now I have it open might as well...
But in all seriousness, for games where I really want to immerse myself, like Metroid dread or TOTK,...more
