Rectify that, some of the finest games you'll ever play. Mario Galaxy 2 is worth owning a Wii for.

Never played Battlefield either but I watch all the Battlefield Friends and Battleloggers videos on Youtube, which is a bit strange.

I never played a Wii or a WiiU. Might get one eventually just to play the Wii games aswell.

I don't have anything against it, I just never bothered. I'm Planning to get a Wii soon enough now that they're fairly cheap so we'll see.


to add another one... I never killed any of the little sisters in Bioshock, ever.

When I was a kid I did it while going home in the car with my new game.

These days, handy having it for games when can't remember certain combos or when the onscreen icons don;t have clear explanations. Plus, doubles as toilet reading.

lazlo

perhaps for Street Fighter only. Otherwise I prefer to blunder around and find my feet in almost any game (or rebind the keys )

I think I always felt that the manual spoiled some of the magic of the game..

You've never spent the bus journey home reading the manual to kill time before you get to play it? Used to love doing it, when the manuals and pc game boxes were huge.

SeantheMan

I got screwed over with manuals/boxes before !

I remember renting MGS when it first came out, I couldn't get out of the base because the CODEC code was on the back of the case. Chartbusters obviously didn't give you the original case....
I was stuck for 2 days thinking I'd missed something until I bought the game

Chris Martin

Never bought anything on Steam (yet)
Never played FF
Never paid €60 or more for a game bar once (latest GOW)
Never played Zelda
Never bought new PC
Never felt sorry once about mowing down thousands of people in GTA, part of the game surely

I'm a bogger. I used to get everything by mail-order, particularly as I was a bogger Mac gamer.

And yes the old cardboard boxes for PC/Mac games were awesome.

But even when I got my NES/Snes & PS the traditions were upheld.

It probably explains a lot about me all things considered

There was nothing better back in the day than getting a game, and getting a proper thick manual. Even for a real short or crap games, still got a proper manual. Not these days though

-Owned any Nintendo console. Not even a GameBoy. Forgot, I did have a DS.
- Owned an Atari or C64 or anything.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade came with an actual Grail Diary thing that was about 90 pages long, looked like it was handwritten and had coffee-rings litttered throughout it. Now that I did read.

...and to play the game you'd have to enter a password along the lines of...what is the 3rd word on the 2nd line of the 5th paragraph on pg 54...i remember having photocopies of manuals from mates so we could share games...and that was when photocopiers were the at the cutting edge of tech:D

Never:
- use all my grenades because I'm afraid I'll have none when I need them (mainly in Halo)
- can manage to pick anything other that a Warrior/Tank class until at least the 3rd/4th playthrough
- convince the wife that it's not weird to be sitting in the living room with my headset talking to strangers

They really don't understand when you've a few cans with your clan/guild/outfit and you call it "having a few drinks with the lads".

Dravokivich

I never ever played a civ game and left a civilisation with 1 city and have fortified units surrounding it in concentric circles so I could finish the tech trees, before taking everyone out.

Nintendo always did nice manuals, especially for the Mario games. the Megadrive ones were rubbish though, black and white and the English translation was one one side of the page.

speaking of manuals, I've never bought a new game or console and not sniffed the manual, it's part of the ritual :pac:

wandatowell

Champion Manager 3 had a mighty manual iirc

Was it Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the Sega Megadrive that had a passcode book with hundreds of passwords and it asked you to find one and enter it to play the game?


What horsesh1t!

Nintendo used to do great manuals. Now all you get are these crap paper fold out things with basic instructions on them :mad:

I had that on the Amstrad version, these stupidly convoluted codes, or a wheel that you had to align things to get another password.

But those fold out manuals still have more effort put into them than a game from say EA.

Doesn't make them any less inferior
