You're not doing any of it. Someone else is.
Having a list of available abilities and items in a SRPG is pretty invaluable, though. Following a guide for every battle in terms of strategy takes away the whole point of the game.

Yea, this is the only reason I buy them. I get them for the maps, the abilities, basacially all the optional stuff, but I don't think I've ever used it for battle help or anything like that. Plus with the Double Jump books, having all the confusing parts laid out in plain english with pictures is invaluable.
Only reason I got the San Andreas guide was for the maps, and those better be awesome.
Gotcha.

Games like Halo and mario sold on peoples opinion. Just becuase someone said its good doesn't mean its bad or good. Not every one can rent games.
Their is nothing wrong with walkthroughs, becuase you don't have to read them.
Too Cool for Top 10 Lists
I only have a problem with folks who JUST base their purchases on the opinions of others, and seem to lack the ability to make up their fucking minds as to what they like, as they depend on others to do it for them. Now if they could shorthand this and send me $50 to spend their money for them, I'd have no problem with it.

Aren't all decisions based on the opinions of others?
A ton of people read reviews, read other peoples previews, to get an opinion on the game. Very rarely does anyone just go out and drop 50 bucks on a game because of the back of the box, or rent it, and then decide to buy it, and it ends up costing them more in the long run due to the rental fee.

A lot of people make up their minds thanks to gaming mags. Hidden gems can sometimes be found their if you listen and think while you read. If it wasn't for Game Informer I would have never found the magic of veiwtuful Joe.
Walkthroughs don't take anything from games becuase you don't have to use them. I only used walkthroughs on 2 games and they were still fun as hell.
The games were Shemnue for the dreamcast (most underrate game of all time)
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past( Best snes game in my opinion.)

can't wake up
Im gonna start stabbing people who bitch about how the "magic of gaming is lost because of blahblah".
No, Jeremy('s mom) has enough money (from her bingo winnings) to purchase every game that looks even a little bit interesting to him.
SWEET CHRISTMAS!
Man, in going with this thread, sometimes cheap games are really shitty.
I've sold about 60% of those five dollar games I got at Circuit City, luckily I break even on almost all of them.
I have no time to waste with shitty games with all the good stuff out now.
I know now to NEVER EVER buy a 4.99 game again in my life, unless it's nothing short of fantastic.

Am sorry Bill Gates but if I bought every game that excited me i would be paying at least a 1000 every 6 months. Also some games don't interest me auntil i see the high score and then i give it a try. That went for VJ, Beyond good and Evil, Prince of Persia and Super Monkey ball
