I miss manuals.
>>729230868>Giants knife and mirror shield are better than links most iconic itemsWhy did the master sword come back over and over but not the giants knife? It's literally more powerful.
>>729231570Giant's Knife cannot be used with a shield so it's pretty terrible in combat.Mirror Shield couldn't send shots back to the enemy IIRC.
>>729230868>7th and later gen sony systems>they start to have digital manuals>see 50+ page manual >"oh neat, must be a lot to say about this game">1-2 pages are for the controls>the rest are for disclaimers in different languagesPeak fucking soulless era.
>>729230868>these items may upgrade in size as the adventurego on...
>>729232123The story/mechanics are taught in the game, anyway. Might as well use the paper for something useful.
>instruction manual omits the fact that saving and quitting constitutes a game over
Me too
>>729233040So what? A cutscene plays. Doesn't affect the game next time you start it up, outside of maybe music notes collected.
Digital games are literally the reason developers implemented tutorials into their games. They removed manuals and small guides in favour of digital distribution. So now they have to teach players how to play the game through the game itself.
>>729232123>he thinks English is the only language spoken on earthPeak fucking retard here.
>>729233689It's the only language that matters.If something isn't in English, then it might as well not exist.
>>729230868They still existOpen up the PDF that comes with the game
>>729233097Man. I don't remember it being that complicated...
>>729233097>tfw you're a marioa operator
>>729233745Top based.
>>729230868I miss these and strategy guides, too. The Internet and online updates ultimately killed these off.I've played a couple of older games recently, so I've had fun looking through scans of the old manuals guide-books. Unfortunately, scans don't exist for everything yet, and my only option for reading some of them is to track down a used copy. I recently picked up the official JP guide for P3 FES, and I'd like to find the Piggyback guide for Gran Turismo 4.There's something about them that fan-wikis can't replicate.
>>729230868if you haven't already:play tunic
>>729234160Nintendo and FromSoftware still get guides
>>729230868I don’t, I generally have a low opinion of people who feel this way because it means they’re a “nostalgiafag” these people tend to have low impulse control and IQ. Every game should have a built-in wiki however
>>729230868You didn't read them. You looked at the pictures on the drive home from ebgames. Always a waste.
>>729230868>i'd rather read about the game instead of playing ittypical /v/poster
>>729233097>A button is actually a three part processDid pannenkoek2012 write this?
>>729234993Reading is fun.You should try it someday.
>>729235178Probably not.Doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would self-reference like this.
>>729230868>tfw most modern game tutorials involves the game completely stopping you from doing anything until you click a bunch of segments on the screen I miss when games would at least scan a manual into the game or at least give unintrusive tips
>>729230868>It's the book you fought for in the first game and becomes more withered as time goes onAbsolute kino
>>729235540I just read your comment!
>>729237098Yeah, I'm gonna need a source on that, chief.
>>729236227Kinda ruined by the ESRB rating and "instruction manual", but it's a cool idea nonetheless.
>>729237724The light of the world is my source
>>729234735A shame those games suck.
they were fun to look at on the car ride home from the store but no one ever looked at them after that
>>729230868Making such a big fuss about a seed bag mightve add to flair and ambient.
>>729234007its a weird translation thingjp is probably 操作
>>729234735I'm aware. In fact, I have the BOTW one. I recently found out that they published an expanded edition that contains an extra hundred-something pages about the DLC. One of the few examples I know of that expands upon a game post-updates.
>>729231570The Master Sword does more damage to Ganon(and Flare Dancer).
>>729240034>they actually expected people to read thatJesus.
>>729239635I did and you are wrong
>I miss when Zelda was dark and mature
>>729243285no you didnt
>>729243103i would've fucking devoured it
>>729243395>Cherrypicking on christmas eve
>>729234007Get in the Italian, shinji
Link must find the Kokiri Sword
>>729230868TUNIC has an in-game manual that you slowly collect and decipher as you play. It's a great homage to ye manuals of olde.
