discussion Do you enjoy games that have/require a walkthrough?

[xanxus07]

If it has a walkthrough then yes but if it requires 1 then no (those games where you need to search the entire screen for a clickable hotspot)

I don't like complex games, so walkthrough can help me when I got stuck. Of course I prefer have choose to turn off that option.

 

[justrand0m10]

Yes, when it's available I use it.

 

[jawstheguppy]

I like them, but it's not a big deal if they don't have them.

 

[Swirlybird26]

A game having a walkthrough is not a deal killer for me.

If you absolutely need it to get anything done, then that might be a different matter entirely.

I like walkthroughs because I don't like missing content. My time is limited enough so replaying games is not something I do often. I still like there to be a story and choices but knowing what the choices do helps a lot!

i like games with a dedicated walkthrough for after ive already played it can want to 100% it. i don't want a game where its easy to softlock or hardlock yourself out of gameplay if you dont have a walkthrough

i perfer games that have a walkthough so i know what i miss and how to get them

 

[bricome]

no, but if its done well and worth it, its fine

 

[NoThanksMan]

For VNs it's nice when one is built in, and if one is required because there's substantially different story branches off of different choices, then that's nice design, too. Moreover if those choices aren't OBVIOUSLY intuitive as to render a walkthrough moot, but not so obtuse as to seem unbelievable.

Generally I enjoy the games that have a walkthrough, but not one that is ON YOUR FACE. So if I have to click somewhere to request a hint or get some tips, or just get a reminder for timed events, great. The way most walkthroughs are for lewd games is just giving the answer and making it not feel like a game at all, so that one I am against.

 

[Derek70&]

I like games which give you the option of adding a walkthrough mod.
This said, I have an issue with those requiring specific, often counter-intuitive choices to advance the plot. Like Seaside Mystery or the Twist by KsT.

[KrealMarks]

Depends if they have good animation
nope, as long it not a tourture animation like "peseant quest"

 

[xanxus07]

Yes, it do help at times, especially if you want to get certain scenes.

 

[dkkop]

A lot of games have content hidden behind esoteric requirements or things that aren't immediately obvious.
It also just sucks to miss things in general, or to go back for things

 

[ranciobich08]

It doesn’t bother me, in fact, sometimes I actually prefer it when the game has them, because I don’t have all the time in the world to devote to a game like this...

 

[GettinOlder]

If they provide assistance at critical junctures, then YES. Absolutely!

 

[shaggyboi]

Walkthroughs is preferred if the game has multiple ending different paths.

 

[Fendrich]

For multiple endings or easy to miss sidestuff it's nice to have a walkthrough.
And first playthrough should always be without a walkthrough in my opinion.

 

[whatsupbitches]

For virtual novels I usually just use a walkthrough mod. I don't want to be locked out of a scene because I missed a choice 3 episodes ago. Using a walkthrough solves that
