How Strategy Guides Affected Gaming
Heartless Gamer writes "2old2play has another great story up looking into how games have become more complicated due to strategy guides. From the article; "Strategy guides have affected gaming by making games harder for all of us. That's right, it's not a typo — strategy guides have created more difficult games. Lend me your eyes and attention spans, and I'll explain. Admittedly, it may be a rambling explanation, but bare with me and we should get there eventually." Ya know I always find a strategy guide for things like Final Fantasy just because some puzzles are just ridiculous and I have no interest in trial & erroring for an hour when I'd rather kill monsters. But there really is somethign to this.
Slashdotted in zero.
2 old 2 play? No, just 2 big 2 bother with. Because the "article" we're supposed to be talking about is a one-page editorial column of approximately 5 kilobytes of text.
Seriously, poster: What the figgety-fucking-fuck were you thinking, and what do you have against archive.org?
Or are we supposed to be doing this naked? That's an M-Rating for sure.
This is slashdot. Make that "Rated U For Unpleasant".
It's "they're," not "their."
