I use walkthorugh when the following happen:1) I get stuck, I don't know what to do next2) I want to find some in-game secrets3) When I play Japanese games, without a walkthrough I'd be totally in the dark.

If I'm totally stuck I get a walkthrough... but I've gotta be honest: I give up rather easily XDIf I do finish a game all by myself and want to play it again I will check a walkthrough as well to check the secrets and all the things I missed...

It's hard not to resist, especially if you're playing a secret-packed RPG. I usually resort to one when I'm stuck, but then I read about all the things I COULD'VE done to make my character or whatever more awesome, and then I start over. It does sort of suck the fun out of it, though.

I only use walkthroughs to get the nifty little secrets and tricks not for the actual storyline puzzle and stuff like that

I get the walkthrough after I beat the main game. I use it for two things:1. All the bonus stuff that I couldn't figure out.2. Those pictures help out a LOT in Photoshop :yawn:

not for a whole game. only for certain parts that turn out to be vague or otherwise unclear to a player. some parts in games are just poorly made.

I belive walkthroughs kinda take the fun out of a game, maybe it is good if you really are stuck in a part of the game and you really can't get out, otherwise the game is far too easy and you can't really enjoy it =/Also, it might be useful if you want to unlock something and you don't know how.
