Do you use tutorials/walk-throughs to complete a game?

I've only done this a couple times, I try to complete the game as much as possible on my own without assistance.
But a few levels in Portal 1 really stumped me and I had to look it up, and one part in Half-Life also had me confused.
I've also looked up parts in Limbo.

I have only done this once. I think if the company can take years to complete the production of a game then I should at least do it myself (even if it takes longer than I would like).
I don't remember the game because it was several years ago. But, like I said, I was stuck and I couldn't find my way out of the situation I was in. I didn't use the walk through for the entirety of the game though. I just got out of the predicament I was facing and moved on.
I don't hold it against others that do the same either. The only time I consider it over used is when someone uses the walk-throughs for the whole game. That's kind of a waste of money on the game as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, that's the same thing I did. I would never use walkthroughs for the whole game, that would go against everything I stand for as a gamer.

I do use walkthroughs myself yes :) usually the ones on youtube that people release are the ones that I use however I only tend to use them myself after I have spent a chunk of time trying to do it myself and still not succeeded.

I have, but I personally try not to because I find it more fun to do it all by myself the first try or something along that lines. But if I can't figure out how to do a part or a level I will search up a tutorial of some sort.

I don't really like usind tutorials or walk-throughs but when I get stuck I kind of have to go to one of them for last resort before I end up wanting to bash something into a wall >>

I don't use tutorials or walk throughs. The way I see it, it's cheating. And I don't need to cheat to beat a game. I would only ever consider using a walkthrough is when I've been trying to get past a part for weeks and I know I will never beat it otherwise. Often I find it's a glitch, like in Super Paper Mario, turned out I had to do as it said AND push the - button, which it had not mentioned in the game and I never would have figured it out.

I actually make walkthroughs!  But as for myself, I use them sometimes. I only really use them if i get stuck in something. often that is for two reasons, first one being I have no idea where to go or what i have to do. If I spend ages looking around and have no clue I will look at a walkthrough to find out, but only to find out, i don't watch all of it. The second reason being if I am in a battle, like a boss battle and I just can't win. I look up some walkthroughs or tutorials to get some tactic ideas.

I do make them, and also I follow them when I get stuck somewhere. Saves me from spending hours trying to do something that I won't be able to do.

When you think walkthrough you should think that it should be easy...
Who would see a walkthrough if it was still challenging for them after they blew themselves up trying to finish something which they can't do?

That is not what I ment. I like to see a picture and some text, rather than ruin the moment for me by seeing it being done. I want to know how it's supposed to be done, not see it.

Right, but sometimes you DO need to the video to see it done, so it is not always the case which you stated.

Yes all my walkthroughs are video. I don't do written or photo walkthroughs because it takes more time, especially written ones. My video ones are being recorded as I play and then I produce it afterwards. Writing it up would take quite some time after you've played it.

I guess the people who do written walkthroughs don't have the equipment to record their in game actions :)

I only use them if I'm looking to find a bunch of hidden things (example: the pigeons in GTA). Without the walkthrough it would take years to find them all.

I do. I usually use walkthroughs when I am stuck in some P&C adventure for a long time and then I really need to find some help. :/

I find myself from time to time Youtubeing walk through but most of the time I'm capable of running through a game myself, you can't beat a challenge though. Thinking about it when was the last time anyone actually bought the walk through guide that is made with most games?.

only two occasions when i use tutorials \ walk-throughs.
1) i'm checking out the game to determine whether or not i should buy it
2) i'm stuck and don't know how to proceed ingame. in which case i start by looking for textual tips, rather than video. usually when it comes to tutorials, they use terms and phrases and help me recognize where \ what i should be doing. but if that's not the case and i'm COMPLETELY lost, i'll consult a youtube video walk-through.
