Well, I prefer to not use walkthroughs except for some instances wherin you are stuck and don't know what to do. Sometime walkthroughs contain spoilers that ruins your gaming experience

I use them if I just really don't know what the **** is going on, or if I want some tips for things in the game.

I use a walkthrough when i get stuck, but usual the walkthroughs aren't detailed enough to tell you how to do puzzles.

Yes. I did on my second time through GS2. I really didn't want to search for all the Djinns all over again like I did the first time I played it.

I'll agree, sometimes some people need a walkthrough, but I really would hate too. I have never used one before because I really try to figure out tough puzzles. In fact, those are the types of games I love.

Sometimes, only when I've tried everything I could think of and none of them worked. Then, it's googling time for me. :D

Depends on the game. If its poorly designed like Golden Sun 1 or 2, you better believe I'm gonna use a walkthrough.On a game like Pokemon or Castlevania, not a chance.

Getting the walkthrough is always the very first thing I do, reading all the posts on different sites and looking at the screenshots.having a walkthrough is quite handy, so that you don't miss an item or something.

I never use walkthroughs when I'm playing the game for the first time.. unless I'm stuck at a point for hours and hours when I simply give up trying again. Though i might use them when i replay the game hoping to end the game perfectly, especially those RPG games with completion rates based on the events u activated and that kinda stuff...

I use a walkthrough only when I really need it. The only time I've ever depended on the walkthrough for the entire game was for Naruto RPG: Uketsugareshi Hi no Ishi since it's in Japanese.
