Does anybody even use any guides or look up any sort of cheats, hints, etc for games? I mean they're all so linear I haven't looked up anything in forever since all I have to do is turn left or right and find the treasure basically :\

Never on the first runthrough, sometimes if the game has enough depth using a guide to complete it 100% can be fun.

so you constantly complain about games being to easy than ask for a guide?

only when I'm going for 100% runs for very specific things. Some items in the Final Fantasy games, heart pieces in Zelda or some locations such as those of the Gold Skulltulas in OoT, etc. I don't use them for the linear part of the story.

...Not sure if you're reffering to me, but I very rarely use guides anymore, all it takes is a few minutes of searching.
