you getting paid to breeze thru games or something

I think they are great to have as a resource when you get stuck and can't figure something out.

But to me your losing out on the game experience if you just read word for word what to do, never going off track or realizing what's going on outside of "Get to point A by doing this, talk to X, etc"

Walkthroughs have saved me plenty, but once I get what I need from it I close it and its back to the game.

As an achievement and trophy hunter, I use those wiki walkthroughs because you don't want to miss and achievement and start all over again

When I went to buy Madden 15, someone actually bought a strategy guide for madden 15... a STRATEGY guide for a fukking sport game!!! :deadware:

I don't like playing games more than once. So I use guides more than I desire. I generally play the game without it then after I get past a part I will review that part in the guide to see if I i missed something or will need to partake in something now to reap a major benefit later (Typical in RPGs, like get this item early or make sure you visit this palce and talk to NPC)

To be honest game passes like blockbusters unlimited and shyt fukked me up. Cause id rent games, beat them and rent another one. Id breeze through for the experience and see how my experience and analysis broke down vs ign and other reviewers. It broadened my experience as I played games that Id never buy or even rent for $5. Too many times people came over and saw a game and were like "Do you have a kid?"

You always have to explore and find/make the game within the game. I stated in another game how me and my boys would play goldeneye in stealth mode, sneaking around levels without being seen and chopping or silenced popping people in the dome.

I do find since I dont pay much attention to games and like @ChrisDorner said you got to put together a picture of a horse or some fukkin arabian ancient biblical symbol that I get caught up. I often just skim what characters say when you have to read like in zelda, they be like "blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah, go to hyrule field, blah blah blah" im like ok. but occasionally they ask you a question and you have to respond accordingly, i just watch videos of people do it so I can get on with it. A good game is a good game at the end of the day. Like Super Metroid, before I ever used internet resourcefully for game info I was beating and exploring that shyt, sleeping dogs (loved that shyt) and wind waker hd, im 100%ing that bytch cause its fun as hell. But I gotta keep that guide on deck
