Jayson Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I think it takes the fun out so I would rather avoid it - unless it's a desperate situation! Anyway, some good places for cheat guides are the IGN board and YouTube. Who has been to those places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianmunchiez Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Only reason I think cheats would ever be exceptional is if where you unlock characters and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarik Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I have looked at some videos in YouTube before how to pass a level in Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag. There was a mission where I have failed more than 15 times and finally decided to watch a guide on how to pass it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloVI Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I feel like people should be allowed to play games the way they want to play. Personally, I try not to use them, but if a game is just making me miserable in trying to get through a specific part, I'll look up how to beat it so that I can move on. Life's too short to get stuck for very long. Hand-holding guides can be very useful for achieving 100% or winning a game in a specific way (to see a special ending, etc). So they definitely serve their purpose. As for resources, GameFAQs is still one of the best places to find quality free guides IMO. I've been going there since 2002. Every game has a dedicated board too, so if you have a specific unanswered question you have it answered directly. And of course YouTube is the best place to find footage if you have a hard time visualizing something described in text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly most of the time it happened and I ended up looking at a video it was basically in front of me and I didn't know. 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I really am dead-set on getting thru a level or game and it's taken days with no luck, then I'd want a cheat guide. For instance, for the life of me, I could not figure out Paper Mario. I couldn't get past the 1st level, despite acing many other Mario games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanC Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Honestly, I miss the old cheat codes of yesteryear. Surprised how few developers use them in their games nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never try to consider it for any reason whatsoever because it's not really worth it. I don't learn anything making use of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
