When playing games do you use a guide?

Yeah, when I get stuck its either use a guide or the screen gets it.  >:(
Noooo, I like to take my time and get there naturally  :yes:

I'm definitely in the second camp for this one. I hate using guides as it means usually you finish the game in a considerably shorter time which mans you have spend more money. Rinse and repeat!

I have a sneaking suspicion people will be voting for option no. 1 after reading the KQ4 thread though ;)

As much as I would like to do number 2, I get too frustrated and impatient. :P

I usually try to get as far as possible without using a guide, then if I'm absolutely stuck, I'll use one. :P

Ditto. Once I've used every action/item on everything I could think of, it's time to whip out that guide. Usually the answer's something I'd never be able to figure out, like "Stand  behind that rock and wait for a long time."

First 2, and then 1  ;D

I make the commitment not to use a guide when I start a game, but once the nightmares start then I know its time to swallow my pride and use a guide so I can finish the game.

I try to not use a guide for as long as possible, but I find my impatience to find out what happens next in a well written plot based game makes me antsy and I usually cheat before I've been horrible stuck for days.

There's no way I'll let that happen with TSL though. I want to make this the best game experience I've had since the days of old when I'd be stuck on a KQ for months :P Or GK1 for that matter...I was stuck not knowing to call the darn dog groomer for a YEAR I think.  :wall:

I would like to say NO and I never use to but I find that I'm doing it more now, probably because I don't have as much time to play as I use to.  :( So.... Yes.

I did tend to use guides for the entire game when I was younger (though I can't figure out why.) Now I only use them if I am 100% absolutely stuck. And even then, I'll try some random things. XD

Sadly for the most part I am a member of the first group. Though I try to keep away from the guides as much as possible because I would like to do it all on my own.

I do try and use hints like the UHS rather than full walkthroughs through.

Gilgamesh

The first time I like to play it whitout any help thus not getting all the stuff in the game.
But eventualy I would like to use a guide to see what I missed only.

So, No till I don't like it anymore = 2 weeks searching for the solution maximum.

Thats what I do to. I get as far as can and when I get stuck for a long time and have tried everything that I can think off and still can't get then I use a guide. I use it to get past that part and then I don't look at it any more and continue on.
