What would you need a walkthrough for? There's no goal and nothing to do.

>>383952981
Also Terraria. A lot of modern games are wiki-tethered. Terraria isn't tethered as hard intrinsically, but the crafting menu system is a fucking pile of garbage that makes a wiki damn near mandatory.

Maybe these were good back in 1998 when video games were primitive, there weren't as many of them and you couldn't just download them but who has the time or patience for this shit nowadays

I don't see the issue here, I guess I just don't have very high standards or I'm easy to please. I'll take it. Don't think I've ever bought a guide for a game past Gen 6 though, maybe PSP/DS games though,

Most oldschool point and click adventure games.

Especially those made by Roberta Williams, as they made tons of money by making people call their company for "tip and guides"

>>383954909
I like to check a guide before leaving the level in case I missed something. Doesn't matter how long I'm searching, I always miss something.

There's a reason why Freeman's Mind is way more popular than Shepherd's Mind, Chell's Mind, and all the other low-quality Mind spin-offs.

>>383954785

>>383955205

I think it depends on the game for me too. I play some RPGs naked on the first try but theres a nice comfort to playing an old PS1 RPG with a guide nestled next to me on my desk, just feels gud mang

Many old PC adventure games were 100% impossible without the instructions because they had coded messages that you had to enter into the game from specific pages in while under a time limit. It was to combat piracy.

>>383952954
How many times people say this without really playing; you don't need a guide to beat it. The game gives you hidden books in the various towns to give you hints on how to proceed. In one of those books, it tells you to what to do next like the waiting at the mountainside for the tornado to appear.

>>383954941

I know none of you played it, but there is a part in the game in which you need to break a rock in order to go through.

Guess how you break it?
10 bombs. No, the rock doesn't change appearance as you blow it with rocks. It looks exactly the same until the 10nth bomb,

>Chell's Mind will never be completed

I remember at one point in time, games were made with the intent of selling a guide with them. Let them get a bit more money out of you. Then, in the mid 90's, the internet started getting popular, and shat all over that.
