Do you rely on walkthrough?

I was getting stuck at a level of a game for a loooong time… I ended up having to train and level up to progress a little (using brute force) instead of the “brain” way of solving the puzzle…

But the enemies just gets stronger and in the end I went to look for a walkthrough… which kinda defeats the purpose of playing the game but still…

  1. I don’t think walkthroughs are cheating; if the game is no longer fun to play and you’re only getting frustrated, why not grab a walkthrough or a cheat code?

    If anything, these are needed to counteract poor game design. To my way of thinking, if the game is made correctly, you wouldn’t need to do these things…

    • I guess you’re right about not cheating… since well, if I don’t look for a walkthrough I’ll never finish the game…

      However, I don’t really agree with the game design part for… there are quite some people who could finish the game without walk-through (for some of the game) … although yeah, there are some “unknown” criteria to win certain matches which I don’t know at all…

      • How many times have you played a game where the mayor sends you out on some lame quest but you forget what it was and then you go back to ask him what dumb ass thing he wanted you to do and all he says is “good luck”?

        And, of course, the game will not allow you to advance until you finish that stupid task. That’s poor design
