Walkthroughs are one of those things you can simply ignore, not like your friend’s sister ruining the ending of a movie for you because she’s just that way. A walktrhough doesn’t force itself upon you to be read, a friend’s sister, notably mine, does.
And I too use GameFaqs, mostly once i beat a game and want to go back and get everything, or for some games, like Shining Tears so i can figure out what combinations of what smiths do what… I try to play the game atleast beat the game once though if possible before reading a FAQ.
And yea since I just posted my first FAQ there, i generally can’t be against it.
