Even the "good" ones are going to show you 90% stuff you don't even need to see...like a whole level played through to get that one item... and even if they don't do that...a video by nature just tells you exactly what to do...no ways to just get a hint or subtle push to figure it out on your own Videos taking over as the main source of guides for games in the last decade or so is definitely one of those bad trends in gaming...and I say that as someone who generally prefers stuff thats seen as progress...I mean I like digital game downloads, don't mind some DLC etc... I don't consider myself resistant to new trends at all. But videos just aren't the ideal method to get what one wants in terms of game help. Agreed. If I'm playing a game, I don't need video commentary as I go, especially if I'm using a walk thru for a dungeon in an rpg or something. I'm fighting the same trash mobs they are. If there's a piata mob, or a breakable wall, or a hidden chest, that's something I need to know. Sliding block puzzles, floor traps, by all means let me know. What I don't need is either a screaming jackass or dude with a nasal voice and the charisma of wet cardboard narrarating every random encounter as they go in a video of the game I'm already playing. Don't show me what I can already see. Tell me what I'm not seeing. In text form. So I don't have to keep pausing and rewinding. I can just scroll bit by bit to scan for what I need passively with a text walk thru. Videos are for a game I'm not playing and don't have in front of me already. --- Yes, I'm real. <cite>TheNobleWoodApe posted [p:951688821] in Do you sti...
