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.

Yes, when it's available I use it.

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

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

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.

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.
