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

[Pokemerda]

Yes, I prefer when it's included

 

[Tisty]

To me yes. I'm sort of a completionist so I'll always have a walkthrough with me whenever playing big games like FF series Pokemon series or any other RPG games. Because games as big as these I might never have the time and patience to do a rerun so I want to make sure I can get all the stuffs and side quest and contents in one playthrough as much as possible

 

[ChaosLoli]

Honestly I mostly find those games annoying. I never use walkthroughs in normal games, and it's a pain in the ass to have them in while you just want to play a game and get off.

Basically the title. Do you enjoy playing games (both porn or otherwise) that require you to have a dedicated walkthrough to know what to do/where to go? On some level, I don't mind it as often the games that do have one, don't make a walkthrough necessary. It's just the completionist in me wanting to see/do everything. However, there are those games in porn and otherwise, that force you to have a walkthrough just to progress the story in any form.

feels like im missing content with no wt

I’m totally fine using a walkthrough, but it depends on why I’m using it. Is it so I don’t miss that one scene that will forever be unviewed in my gallery? Sure, I’m all for the secret scenes for the completionists, as long as 99% of the story isn’t locked behind that scene. Do I wanna make sure I can get that harem ending, or avoid a bad end 40 minutes of playtime down the road (anyone not let D get self defense training their first play thru of DMD?)? Absolutely.

But if the game is so convoluted that you’re screwed without the WT, or actions don’t make sense (I didn’t peek, so she came into the living room naked, flips out, calls cops, game over? WTF) then I’m probably deleting the game fairly quickly anyways.

Special thanks to the modding community who make the in game walkthroughs, you guys and gals are the real MVPs!

As many others have said, I also prefer a walkthrough so I can choose my path to my preferred outcome

 

[Dario]

As long as the games are good, I find walkthroughs very helpful.

 

[xatfx]

Yes, I prefer the walkthrough for visual novel

 

[juront40]

I feel like walkthroughs or at least a gallery with key moments for scences is something any game should have if answering or steering wrong leads to missing out on content.
Regular games, it's nice to have if I maybe wasn't paying attention for a moment and forget something a NPC told me. Better than running aroung clueless.

 

[rgutsampage]

i dont particularly mind following one, however if you absolutely need one to just finish the game (not 100% it) is just bad design

 

[Driveackster]

Prsonally yes. I am a perfectionist.

 

[thebobby]

Walkthrough mods have been super helpful; directing you to the routes you want, especially if the options are convoluted and stat based.

 

[User_160778]

No needs for walkthrough, explore by yourself is always better.

 

[Deleted member 162149]

I dont mind a walkthrough for a second playthrough but id prefer for a game to be playable without one first

 

[mikeyk]

I love a walkthrough, sometimes i just want to skip and see the scenes not deal with the story telling. also helps to get the best ending

 

[User_159114]

I like walkthroughs. Many games have really random mechanics or convoluted solutions to their riddles.

 

[LcUser123]

Have to agree that it depends on how necessary. If it's to be able to unlock everything I don't mind as a completionist myself, but games that require it simply to progress piss me off.

 

[brutulf]

I think requiring a walthrough to finish the game is pretty poor design, but for completionist sake it's fine to have a walk-through.

 

[Thelonely]

I l8ke playing without one in normal games but in porn I'll use one if there're hidden scene to see how to get it

 

[GourmetChef]

I've play a lot of HTML games that require walkthroughs. I played Treasure of Nadia too. Can't say I didn't enjoy them, but I would prefer not to have to reference walkthroughs if I can avoid it.
