Doing it after one playthrough to get special items or endings is one thing but I have a friend who uses guides from the start, he reads the things that are about to happen, spoiling every detail of the story and generally spends more time peeking at papers than playing the actual game. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of gaming?
He says he "needs 100% complete" on his games. Fine, but why not play through it once first to experience what the game has to offer on its own terms?
