When i was younger i use to play video games 6-8 hours a day on weekends. When i graduated High School i had no job but i had alot of money and all i did was play games all day everyday sometimes 10-12 hours a day. I use to play all types of games including RPG games. The hardest thing for me was beating the levels and getting the achievements from the game. This was not easily done and often time i needed what is called a strategy guide that was basically a how to step by step for each game.
This is an example of what it is:
The question i have is does anybody still buy these? As we know the digital age is here but has it taken over this type of market? You can find all types of videos and how to's on YouTube i wonder if they are still used. For example i wanted to learn how to do the Easter egg on Black Ops 3, i didn't buy the guide for this. Instead i Google it and this is what came up:

No, I dont buy them. Besides, there are
different guides on games that you can download on the internet which you can get for free. Tons of apps, videos or even books are available for downloading, and you dont need to spend a lot to get them, you just need a fast internet connection. :)

when we played alot of COD and zombies, i remember always looking up how to's and step by step videos on youtube for the special things to do in the games, like the hidden easter eggs, or special objects and materials to build a weapon or protection. like in one of the new maps on COD zombies, i forget which zombie map it is, but 3 different pieces of a shield spawn in different places all over the map and you have to get all 3 and then go to the workbench to "build it". once its built you and anyone who you are playing with can pick up the shield and use it to prevent zombies from hitting you from behind and also from the front when you whip it around to protect you!
so with all that being said, i highly doubt people buy those strategy guides anymore, but you never know. some people dont get accustomed to new things right away or even at all, so there could be a small percentage of people who may still find these guides helpful!! thanks for this topic, jkeyz. i remember these things but sadly i never really understood what they were. i thought it was just a book about the game and had like souvenir like things in them. LOL i never used on of these to help me play any games when i was younger. if i remember correctly, they were just as expensive as the game if not more. when we played alot of COD and zombies, i remember always looking up how to's and step by step videos on youtube for the special things to do in the games, like the hidden easter eggs, or special objects and materials to build a weapon or protection. like in one of the new maps on COD zombies, i forget which zombie map it is, but 3 different pieces of a shield spawn in different places all over the map and you have to get all 3 and then go to the workbench to "build it". once its built you and anyone who you are playing with can pick up the shield and use it to prevent zombies from hitting you from behind and also from the front when you whip it around to protect you! so with all that being said, i highly doubt people buy those strategy guides anymore, but you never know. some people dont get accustomed to new things right away or even at all, so there could be a small percentage of people who may still find these guides helpful!! thanks for this topic, jkeyz.
