Posted By: Lunatic Panzer Posted On: Oct 15, 2004 Views: 3935	on most games, yes I use a guide for almost every game. I dont use it for strategies or walkthroughs, though. I only use guides to find stuff like items, abilities, etc. that I may otherwise miss.
Posted By: DaggerGenobeam78 Posted On: Oct 15, 2004 Views: 3937	PQ is there a strategy guide for Paladin's Quest? I collect the guides for rpg's and I am missing one for that game. and no, I do not mean this site it does not count as a players guide that I own and can read whenever. it is sad when you cant find a guide to your favorite game (ok second favorite, Final fantasy 4 is my real favorite). no offense to those of you who say paladins quest sucks, it does not. what DOES suck is multiplayer RPG's, remember the good old days when it was ONE HUMAN against the computer? now THOSE are rpgs. so, is there one out there for paladins quest?

Posted By: Budokai Posted On: Oct 14, 2004 Views: 2074	hold on a second..... Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this site also considered to be a guide? So every time you visit this site for help on a game, you're still using a strategy guide. Didn't think of that, didja?
Posted By: Crrowmagnum Posted On: Oct 14, 2004 Views: 2081	Every once in a while Most of the time if i need help on a game i come here to find the information out but otherwise i will just play through it till i get stuck then i try to beat up my console because i can't beat that evil boss. If i have a guide handy it makes it a bit easier than getting on the comp and coming here.

Posted By: Skankin' Garbage Posted On: Oct 12, 2004 Views: 2148	Strategy Guides, heh Hmm, I fit into a few of these categories, haha. When I was younger, I used to go through games full on with strategy guides. Now, my policy is that I won't ever use them for strategies on fights, and I'll only use them to get myself unstuck. But, I have to try and figure it out for a long while first. Of course, I'm also a shriner at RPGClassics here, so I fall into that category too. :P
Posted By: Maximus1 Posted On: Oct 12, 2004 Views: 2160	Why buy guides when you have this site? Yeesh, I don't even know why they make guides any more. I've never bought a guide, but I got a few for free in the past that I didn't even want. Never needed them except for finding a few secret things in Perfect Dark/Goldeneye 007. But as for RPGs, I've never needed guides for 'em, possibly because I don't always look for all the extra stuff after beating the final boss. Getting to Mr. Big himself is easy pie for the most part, but dodging 200 Lightning Bolts?! I never get past 30! (FFX) Let's not forget the fact that most hidden stuff in RPGs is so well hidden that you NEED a guide or FAQ to find it, and by then you don't need it.
Posted By: Real Canadian Posted On: Oct 12, 2004 Views: 2066	Only sometimes... I only use a strategy guide after I played the game through at least once w/o the guide. I really sometimes use the guides to look for all of the treasures in a game. I want to collect EVERYHING. Most guides I read have some errors in them as well. An example of this is the FF1 Guide for the NES. In the overworld map, Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 are reversed. Chapter 2 is the Sleeping Prince, and Chapter 3 is The Rotting Earth.
