Yes and no, depending on the game. For example final fantasy and mega man, one is more easy to play and finish than the other game.

Pssh. I WRITE the guides, not LOOK at them. :DUnless I've been stuck for like an hour or some humongous and ridiculous amount of time, when I'm hanging on my last thread of patience, maybe I might check one, but otherwise, nah.

Sometimes, I'll use a walkthrough if I'm stuck. If I beat a game, sometimes I'll go back through and play again with a walkthrough and see if they have any good tips, or where to find collectibles, etc.

I general, if it's a game that has multiple endings or hidden extras, I download spoiler free walkthroughs and check and see what I need to know down the line. If I purchase a 50+ hour game that I can't see playing through twice but fun enough to where I want to get all the secrets, etc... yeah, I'll use a walkthrough (partially).

I mostly use a walkthrough when I absolutely need to. Pretty much only if I have been running around like a chicken without a head or need some help with boss battles.

Usually I don't use walkthroug unless I'm stuck on a game, but it's kinda boring to search it on the web. Does anyone know where to find walkthroug for GBA???

Well when i am stuck in the game i first try to see where to go or what to do. If i can't find the "exit" i see the walkthroughs on the internet, otherwise i wouldn't progress in the game.

Even with the announcement of new Halo projects, the principal trilogy won't be forgotten from our minds as fast as we may expect...

Halo forever!!

Heh, NEVER! NEVER NEVER NEVER!I remember when I played Zork, (probably way before your time), all my friends were stumped, and I loved the fact that I was stumped. I had no idea what to do next, and while frustrating, the relief of finally progressing to the next portion of the game is just that much better.Of course, I miss a lot of things my first run through most games, but I try to be very thorough, so that I can combat the loss of things... Though, I missed the Zodiac Sphere in FF12, and it almost made me cry, because I the chests that determine if you can get it or not... I was so frustrated after working for 60 hours to find out that I would never be able to get it.

Since I tend to try getting everything discovered and spend a lot of time visiting every location when I play a game I usually don't need a walkthrough but I sometimes use special guides after I've beaten a game (ie the Navarro Run guide for Fallout)
