And multiple posters will write 3+ paragraphs about how they should play without anybody asking them. They're also insanely easy games anyway i didnt mention it cuz i said spoilers were ok and i didnt want to talk to him anyway but i was kinda pissed in my zelda thread when i mentioned i was on a temple and that retard sexrex was like youre gonna miss how to do this thing so heres exactly how

There's nothing better than a game which needs no explanation to figure out. Unfortunately what Games doesn't know is that like 70% of games are like that. I never understood the pathological need to be optimal in every game. If a game is really hard and my first few starts don't go well sometimes I look stuff up though.

Sometimes i'll look stuff up in advance not to be optimal or whatever but just to check if the game even supports the playstyle that i actually want to play, or how to unlock that if its not available at the start. Usually in stuff that has a lot of character building and customization but which doesnt actually tell you what's going to become available at later levels or whatever other withheld info.

I just double checked I was making the characters how I wanted to though, not any min/max planning or whatever. That's for second playthrough a

I think the worst thing i've seen in recent years is the deluge of ignorant gamers telling people to grind in Persona, when those games are built specifically to avoid that behavior. People are bad at the games and think stupidly grinding their levels will work, which it will sometimes, but it's such a stupid way to go about it. Not to mention you never learn how to properly play the games that way and any future title you play will seem like the same impossible wall

I got caught using the house computer to look up how to get past the train sequence in Paper Mario 2 and my stepmom told me I was ruining the experience for myself and that I would never develop problem solving skills if I just looked up what to do all the time, and that shame has stuck with me my whole life.

The only good rpgs that i played that required grinding were only after the endgame where i had to power up to fight against ludicrous superbosses. Most games just throw optional sidequests now if you want to level up fast.

I really liked the hint books for those ancient PC RPGs like Bard's Tale and the gold box SSI AD&D games (pool of radiance etc). I'm not sure they were really necessary, except maybe for Bard's Tale 2's retardo cheap dungeons, but they were kind of fun to have in an era where your only way to get info like that was to pay per minute or buy the books. Ultima games never really needed them but they were well-written and had some fun fiction and commentary. I really wanted the Wizardry 7 book but never managed to find a copy.

I didnt get vincent or yuffie, I got the everyone plays instruments wrong in FF8 and missed a bunch of GFs. RPGs reward the most knowledgeable and that can be lovely for the wrong game.
