I recently played a game where I spent a good chunk of resources on a shovel with no immediate use, which turned out to open a secret path to a boss with five times the HP of anything I’d fought before. Beating the boss gave me an amulet shard, but I didn’t realize I was supposed to give the shard to a random girl in the woods, and that plotline ends unless she gets the shard before the end of chapter 1. And according to the forums, that STILL isn’t enough, because there’s another chapter 1 secret area that only opens if you do as many bad deeds as possible (a terrible idea that makes all fights harder for the rest of the chapter), and that area is also required for the plotline. Each chapter requires further steps from there, and no one’s figured all of them out yet.

So yeah, I can see the appeal of guides.

IA with your secret, OP. I get why it's not fandom though.

Unless he's seeking out interviews and publicity, I think everyone, even strangers who like him, should leave Gus Walz alone to be an average private citizen.

Makes sense to me. Strategic challenge and exploratory challenge and grinding challenge and reaction time challenge are all different types of challenge and not all of them are for everyone and often especially in RPGs the "spend half an hour exploring or doing this 50 step Deliver the Widget quest" blocks off endgame challenges for no good reason. Also more of a time sink than a matter of difficulty.

I don't know what I'd rate this, but it's def not "easy" if the goal is to 100% the game without playing the meta.

Tbf the only people who look back and think they weren't very teenaged as a teen, are people who are still mentally stuck being teenaged.

'I was mature for my age' might be true. 'I act exactly the same then as I do now' however, is a red flag parade

[(Anonymous)]

i don't want to even play a story-based game without a walkthrough because i would rather be told exactly how to find whatever thing than miss an achievement because i didn't know to look for something. i still try to solve puzzles on my own and use the guides for those if i get stuck, but yeah, i don't want to waste my time exploring either.

[(Anonymous)]

I really like "spoiler free" guides that list missable items and key events to trigger but don't give step by steps about puzzles or challenges

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, this - it's very frustrating because I feel like I'm going to miss important stuff and wind up screwed later on if I just play through the game on my own, or do stuff in the wrong order.

[kaijinscendre]

I always use guides for games that require a lot of back tracking and running around maps.

[(Anonymous)]

Aww, such nostalgia! This makes me want to check the AO3 category again, I loved that ship!

[(Anonymous)]

Assuming they're your peers, wouldn't they have been very teenaged, as well?

[(Anonymous)]

My gods, what is it about people shackled to walls/other upright structures that is so. Fucking. Hot.

On another note, Disney's Aladdin is super kinky overall, I feel (or at least heavily gestures at kink). Definitely awakened some things in me all those years ago.

[(Anonymous)]

That all sounds downright sadomasochistic.
