The state of game manuals today.

Yeah, it's a damn shame. I love giving a read to manuals before actually starting the game. I think one of the best examples of this constant downgrade is Demon's Souls having a well crafted, excellent color manual with a lot of what you need to know about the game with pictures and info while Dark Souls had a black and white manual with 5 pages saying the absolute basics about the controls and 20 more pages of the same thing in different languages.

Such a shame.
