About 50-50.
The half of games that are easy, enjoyable or such genres that guide doesn't matter (racing, sports etc), I try to do 100% without help. Or games of special interest to me.
The other half varies from looking up the one thing where I'm hopelessly stuck to straight up following walkthrough. The latter is mostly really hard old games - like Sierra King's/Police/Space Quest I-III - that I (often having gotten them as part of collection) just want to look through,
Even if not otherwise needing help, I often check a FAQ to follow how far in the game I am and how long it is in the first place. I want to be able to plan how long games take, when do I need to pick next to play and to schedule stuff.
Generally I use FAQs depending on whether or not I would bother to finish the game. I want to finish everything one way or another, if not on fair play then with guide or cheats.
For (last century) JRPGs I often look up a world map while not using a guide otherwise, except sometimes the map would be connected to walkthrough and have important places numbered.
