These folks are so helpful. Double points if the walkthrough creators are the devs.
Sometimes I’ll be willing to bash my head against the game, not sure why I keep hitting an end or outcome I do not want over and over again, but if I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong and get frustrated, help becomes very welcome, especially with otome. I like organically discovering which choice was the one that changed things enough to get a good end (or even a bad end I particularly want to see) but sometimes it is too difficult/time-consuming, and I need a little help. (And it’s not a puzzle game so I feel okay doing it lol.) Sometimes I am enjoying the game but not enough to bash my head against bad endings repeatedly and will consult a walkthrough to get where I want to be sometimes.
Thank you to these people for saving me time and frustration. Sometimes I try to join them, adding information to a wiki or posting information that I have not seen online yet for certain games. It can be pretty fun!
Bonus points to any, for any game, who still make text based options.
Video can be helpful when it’s a visual marker, but if I just want to know how to start the next step in something, I don’t want to have to click around in a video. Just lemme search for the term I’m looking for, it’s faster, and I’ll come back to your resource more often.
I agree so hard ;-; this is why I love and contribute to wikis. Half of the videos could just be an image anyways, maybe with a quick circle on the relevant part.
