I actually think its useful when playing video games for me. I find it rather entertaining. It makes me finish the game quicker with someone giving me tips on how to complete a certain part and I never get stuck anywhere. How about you guys.

Do you use strategy guides on action games and RPG's?

Edit: I either use Gamefaqs.com or buy a strategy guide...

Only with Suikodens and only on my second playthrough.

*slap*

What kind of gamer are you!?!??!?!?!???

You use a stratey guide, you suck at gaming. The joy and ecstacy is boundless when you beat a game without any help.

In response to your question, no.

What?!? actually the current situation I'm in. I have so many games to beat that I can't just play around and try and find ways to beat a game.

Having a strategy guide actually helps me complete them faster and I enjoy it.

It's not like I'm cheating or feel bad having someone else help me with my problem.

Am I right or wrong?

last time i used a strategy guide was for my 4th playthrough of morrowind (greatest game ever btw)

no - it's useful but kinda like cheating

A strategy guide is not cheating!!!!!

*Looks in disgust and is about to cry*

 well it tells u eveerything (all secret items), shortcuts, everything!

I know I tried to play Crisis Core with it just now and I'm finding out. The strategy guide dude is spoiling everything just now!!

WOW

I'm not using a strategy guide anymore.....

What can I do to finish these games in my sig faster. I like them but I just can't seem to finish them, because I'm always tired when I get home from work. I work at the hospital btw guys....

 well if u want to finish them fast, then use a strategy guide i guess
