Do you use walkthrough or look up stuff when playing a RPG for the first time?

I think it ruins the experience no more so than looking up spoilers for a movie before watching it. And looking up builds or secrets beforehand without discovering it youself is practically cheating.

yes and then I lose interest for some reason after realising how stupid gaming really is.
kek, I like the concept of games as "art" than games themselves.

You probably spend more time browsing twitter and imageboard or watching YouTube videos than playing games.

You are right in that guides ruin the experience and shatter any reason to play the game at all.
It brins into question if playing games is worth it at all.

I dont think games are childish unless its nostalgia baiting like what nintendoes.
Games funnily enough, are not for everybody except a range of autists that can make the most of it. Others are in it for the updates on IG with their RGBs

Of course it's worth it if figuring out the games system and building something you figured out on your own sounds fun to you. Looking it up is basically like taking away the core part of an RPG.

You did like it at once, no? It's one thing to have no time for it in favour of something new, but don't say it's stupid if you're just addicted to doomscrolling now.

again, I don't consider the medium as retarded.
Its an off and on perspective people tend to have especially for something that requires attention like RPGs

You zoom zooms will never know the joy of reading text only walkthroughs and being able to skip to just the part you're stuck at without any other spoilers or youtuber banter

RPG? No, not at all. But sometimes if I get stuck on a particular part I'll look it up.
got the game spoiled for me by doing so many times

I don't just play RPGs, but I encounter this specifically with RPGs. With old emulated games, I agree with you. It's almost impossible to even know what to do without the booklet that used to come. Right now, this was about the oblivion remake. And before you go there, I did play the OG. I was just reading about people who didn't play it before.

lose interest only in playing that game after continuous referral of guides. Not games themselves.

relax yaar, not going to
it also applies to simulator games and RTSs, because those genres are fond of dropping you in strange situations with no information on how to proceed.
I used to play Rise of Nations, and only after looking online did I realize that troops take more damage from the sides and that some troops counter others
>oblivion remake
does the remake need a manual too?
>>178
>continuous referral of guides
of course, then it becomes a checklist, not a game.

RTS games are best when everyone is a noob and you're all fucking around and just trying to have fun. When someone becomes too try hard and follow some online build order, it get sweety and lame. I also played RoN a lot. But mostly played Age of mythology, and I had that experience.

No modern triple A games does. It always too handholdy. Retarded journalist complained about morrowind's, correct decision to make the opening more open ended and ever since all TES games have been too urgent from the start.

You should wait for while till your memory of those games gets lost and try again blind. I did it with a bunch of games that achivement hunting ruined for me.

true. In games like that I mostly run straight to the co-op mode. Not very good at them, either.
Some mechanics like formations, patrolling, trade, proper scouting etc. can make a huge difference even if you don't follow build orders and army lists. Those things are the real differentiator between "fooling around" and "proper" playstyles imo. vast difference between someone who can conduct a coordinated attack and "click on many troops, right click on building, pray"
> age of mythology
same devs as Age of Empires? Used to play it as a kid, especially Rise of Rome

Digital distribution might have been the actual killer. PDFs don't have the same magic as the physical manuals. I remember when games came on CDs.

When I played RoN, it was mostly to fuck around on the conqueror the world campaign. The expansion was one of the first time I saw an Indian civ outside of civilization, even though they were lame. It was a fun game before nuke leds to rage end.
>AoM
Yes. It has a new remake, too. Though, I haven't played it so I can't tell you how it is. AoM was extremely broken in terms of balance, so it was fun for casuals like me.
I also played a shit ton of AoE1 plus expansion. Think it was my first RTS ever. The bronze age setting is still cool and underrepresented not just in gaming, but media as a whole.
