I don’t know if you’ve ever looked through walkthroughs on the web for video games. I have. (; I don’t considering it cheating unless you follow the whole damn thing, step-by-step, non-stop. Me? I use it to figure out what the fuck I’m supposed to be doing when I’m utterly confused. Like – where the HELL am I going right now? Where am I supposed to be? How am I supposed to make this work?! There’s nothing! AGH! Oh. There is. Ha. In the words of KentuckyGirl, Eye’m DUM. (;
However, I’ve noticed that the quality of the walkthroughs is not the same between walkthroughs and sometimes not consistent within the SAME walkthrough. One will be great and then not give vital information but another will have that one piece I need but suck otherwise.
What the fuck? How is that even possible?! I just don’t get it.
On the upside – I am no longer frustrated with Zelda. I’m rescuing monkeys in my first dungeon. Yay. I’m after a dark power I’m not supposed to touch, but I have to in order to defeat the Shadow King. At least, that’s what the Being of Light told me.
Who knew?
(As a side note, I’m pondering a Zelda tattoo……)
I generally only resort to walk-throughs for two reasons. Number one among them is the same as yours, if I get stuck I look it up when I have exhausted all my ideas. I don’t consider it to be cheating because I paid good money for my game and I damn well intend to see the end of it! Reason Number Two for me is after I have finished a game I read a Walk-Through to see if there are any interesting things that I might have missed on the first run through. In some cases where a choice is presented to the Player that alters a games outcome I want to see what the other path might have yielded.
I’ve been looking at some Final Fantasy artwork from a Tattoo perspective myself. Either that or maybe something from Halo. You should get the Tri-Force!
they offer walk-thrus?? wow
I do the same with walk-through’s too. Only, if I have to resort to them more than two times I usually just abandon the game. To be fair though, I haven’t played a game in a WHILE!
@Abraxus – I’m the same way. I want to know what I missed/didn’t find. (= As for my tattoo – I wonder what my students would think of it. Hell. My mother. Eee.
@Daniel – They DO! Just google walkthrough with the name of the game. It’s awesome
@Colin – Hello you! How are you doing?!
