Strategy Guides

[Nerd-Vol]

Anyone still buy these things?

I used to love them back in the N64 and PS1 era, heck I even used it up to the xbox on occasion.

Anyone still use them, I just can't justify the $20, when you can find the answers you need on GameFaqs.

I dont have the attention span to read them..........much like I dont have the attention span to read the game directions or controls

Most game instructions are terrible. You used to get pretty awesome, and detailed manuals with games. Now you get a few pages.

I dont blame them since no one really read them, but the manuals in Katimari and Metal Gear games are a breath of fresh air.

Only worthwhile on a big in depth RPG like Fallout. I think that's the last one I bought was the first Fallout 3. The internet has the answers, but if you can afford it, it's a lot more convenient.

The last strategy guide I bought was for Viva Pinata

I paid for the game, I should be able to enjoy it anyway I want.

I do feel dumb when I have to go to GameFaqs and the answer turns out to be obvious.

I quit buying these when Al Gore invented the Internet.

That game was good but got really overwhelming. I may need to pick it back up.

I can't tell if you guys are being serious or sarcastic about Viva Pinata. I never played it. Don't even know what it is about.

I am serious. It was a lot of fun.

I meant about it being super complicated lol.

It does get really complicated and overwhelming as your garden grows. A large garden means a lot of stuff to manage.

+1 to all the Viva Pinata stuff - definitely bought the guide. Sounds silly and meant for kids (which, of course, it IS); however, it's very addicting, and one of those games that makes you want to check off everything in the garden log book. A task that gets extrememly complicated, especially with all the farking Flutterscotches.

Also bought the guide to the first Little Big Planet game -- turned out to be not nearly as useful as the internet.
