Once you get the game and you need help...

Are you getting a strategy guide or YouTube if you get lost? Usually at this day and age I would go on Youtube but it's a tradition of mine to get a guide for the main Kingdom Hearts games.

To be honest, most of the time I look up specific forum topics on the internet unless it's something you can very easily locate on YT. Because sometimes, you'd have to look through minutes and hours of video content to get to the part you need. Other times, it may be useful to look up something on YT, especially if it's a well-known issue with lots of dedicated guides.

 

So it really depends on what I'm looking for. For example, if I'm searching for item x to progress, it might be faster to just type it into google and get a description of the location than look for a video that shows that.

 

Strategy guides are usually a good alternative to use since they include most of the game and if done correctly, you can easily find what you're looking for. But they can also cost quite a bit of money and might make you feel more inclined to just look things up without even trying to solve it yourself.

 

That being said, for KH in particular, I never required any assistance to get through the games. I just looked up where to find certain materials or what to fuse to get this and that in BBS for example. I think KH3 will mostly be simple enough to get through the game without any guidance, though with the size, who knows how difficult some things will turn out to be? I liked the little puzzles in 0.2 and hope they return since they made it more interesting and not just "traverse the map and fight enemies along the way" but it neither should evolve into another Zelda with too complex puzzles.

Either way, who knows what the game will do. Maybe there'll be completely frustrating parts that make me think buying a strategy guide is worth it.

Yes i had that same problem recently I just wanted to know in fallout 4 in which house in one villiage i had to go in to solve a quest and the YouTube videos i found were 6-10 Minutes long, how?! How are you doing that? I just wanted the location of a house not your whole life story

Exactly! I also don't want to be spoiled during those videos because especially open world games could potentially do that by starting somewhere I have not yet been to (Fallout would also fall under that category). I want to discover the game myself, not watching someone else play it if I have already bought it.

Honestly I tend to use gamefaqs' walk-throughs. A lot of them are incredibly well detailed and there's very little risk of spoiling anything for yourself as it's all written. Once you get to the part you need you need there's no risk of accidentally watching on.

 

However if the writing is confusing (which it can be sometimes) I look up a video. But I try hard to not do that.
