yeah

[Weiss 8,279]

Yes. Especially when it had character information.

[Javelin434 3,164]

Yes. Especially when it had character information.

THIS

[Jim 2,990]

idk, but I always liked the smell of a new video game instruction manual. Maybe I'm the only one.

[venxas24 544]

I used to look through and read about the characters and story on the car ride home from getting the game. Good times, good times

[VisitJoan 2,713]

Not really sure. They weren't that helpful, but they were kinda fun to look at.

[Gamerazor247 877]

YES I always love manuals, I'm happy KH games still do the big manual thing

The manual I've ever seen was the Jak & Daxter 1 manual, it was a HUGE map

[Jilly Shears 2,144]

It was always cool to look at the flavor text, so sure.

[Tails 6,692]

But games STILL come with manuals. So how can i miss them if they are still being made? The only games that have no manuals in it are PS Vita games.

[Silvia Kuroi 1,480]

Yeah, because it meant you didn't have to spend an hour going through a boring tutorial, and it provided some background information about the game.

 

Manuals these days? My manual for Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate is seven pages, and shows the controls. That's it.

[rathalos 5]

Yes. Especially when it had character information.

I completely agree I miss enemy info n advanced control layouts

And I thought...

[Britipinojeff 95]

i only ever read the manual if i was stuck in the mall with my family cuz they were getting stuff too. i also only read the manual for little specific things and almost never find what i want to know anyway. 

[Columned-Munny 274]

The kid in me sure does. 

[SinHeartlessAngel 555]

They made the car ride home from gamestores so much easier.

[Sora96 17,256]

Nope.

[Weedanort 8,786]

Yes. Especially when it had character information.

[Black Cat 39]

Somewhat i miss it but it is nice to have it around

[Geralt 4,874]

You can still buy those thick ass manual books haha. But no I like never read them I like to find out things myself.

[Bearanort 788]

Not really. I still have some.

[aquaguardian 9]

I liked to be able to read the story before playing. It helped me understand what was going on. My favorite example of this was Diddy Kong Racing. I am not sure I would have understood the point with out that info. But I didn't really read or care about the other information.

[Caity 3,946]

Somewhat.  While you learn in game what to do, if I leave a game for a while (due to coursework and exams) and go back I sometimes forget how to do stuff, but don't want to start again to learn how.  

[LordOfTheCastle 92]

I used to love reading them on the way home from getting the game as a kid. Doesn't really apply anymore, but kids nowadays should be able to experience that joy too haha

[Roxasrox 131]

YES I always love manuals, I'm happy KH games still do the big manual thing :)The manual I've ever seen was the Jak & Daxter 1 manual, it was a HUGE map

Yes yes yes!!

[Xalaru 445]

Nah I never read them anyway.

They were pretty cool to skim through if I was bored and had nothing else to do, but other than that they were just a waste of space/paper. Can't imagine many people actually got any use out of them.
