Boo fricking hoo
just don't google youtube walkthroughs of the game you are playing? Damn moron
A secret is not a secret if everyone can find out its solution in seconds with a device in their pockets. Would you seriously claim the mystique surrounding e.g. the American continent would be the same for the settlers hundreds of years ago first finding out about it and a European who can survey its every street from his phone?
I had a blast with tears of the kingdom back when it leaked despite not liking botw because of this.
Thing is I can't help myself looking stuff about whatever game I'm playing on my phone while waiting in line at the supermarket, waiting for a friend, on breaks at work..
Sharing knowledge with anons was half the enjoyement.
Got the idea to try a vidya club where everyone played one game and advanced at roughly the same pace but my friends have terrible taste and can't finish a game to save their life.
>Vidya will never be mysterious again
oh no, devs won't design their games in a moronic way to get you to buy a strategy guide or to get you to buy the game instead of rent
It applies to TV as well, Westworld S2 was ruined because all the autists banded together on reddit to guess S1's twists way in advance and the writers went full moron trying to make S2 unpredictable, whereas the guessed twists probably wouldn't be nearly as widespread without mainstream internet access.
But also TV shows have the advantage of keeping the rest of the story under wraps until it airs, if there are no leaks that is, with games the whole thing is usually availabile on day 1 so if you can't nolife it immediately sucks to be you, any "discoveries" you might reveal to the internet will be met with "yeah we all know" even if only a couple of people found it organically.
>have to blitz every new game because you are on a ticking clock before the algorithm starts force feeding you videos some gay put spoilers in the thumbnail and you must finish up in less than a month before the devs drop a shit patch that nerfs all the hard bosses
I lived in the left and refuse to go back. Most of your classmates were unhelpful turds or didn't even share the same games as you. And the hindsight that I should have just used a guide instead of punishing myself for making bad choices annoys me more than makes me happy for challenging myself.
OP is a legitimate moron zoomie and probably trans.
If you dont want to be spoiled kiddo? You avoid places you might get spoiled.
If you cant muster that tiny bit of personal will-power, to AVOID reading what you KNOW will potentially spoil something; you are moronic.
Actual zoomer that never lived through the era doesn't understand that the point is that the SOCIAL aspect of video games and problem solving was fricked over forever by instant day 0 solutions and guides to everything.
It's impossible to keep your playthrough private while also discussing other people's private playthroughs, because everyone makes extensive use of the resources they didn't come up with themselves. Imagine reading a book series and trying to discuss your own theories with friends but they just tell you all the most popular theories online without having any of their own.
You just play lesser known games and don't follow walkthroughs so no one randomly talks about it

Who cares what other people think? You're still getting the same wonder
Because only mentally ill losers only care about themselves
I want to share in the wonder with my friends and family
Then you play a game your friend hasn't played. How hard is this?
>exploring the woodland behind your house today is the same wonder as exploring a brand new unknown continent hundreds of years ago
??
have you done either of those things?
Ring fit adventure was and still is mostly like this.
Gamefaqs is literally older than Ganker, and before that you could order guides or magazines
Paper guides often had misinfo because they were churned out quickly and couldn't be updated and they cost extra.

Have some self control you moronic Black person. Gamefaqs is 30 fricking years old.

Why does this only apply to videogames and not say movies or TV or other long media with information that can be gleaned from the internet?
They aren't interactive

It still exists, just fricking play games when they come out without looking shit up.
People slowly discovering Spamton and then Weird Route in Deltarune Chapter 2 was an absolute treat back when it got dropped on us.
>another undertale/deltaruin shill can't help but take the opportunity to advertise in this thread
frick off and buy an ad.
OP said it doesn't happen anymore. I provided an example that still pulled off. Sorry if you got triggered over it.
You didn't deny being a shill, either.
except during the 90's half the "secrets" in games were intentionally obfuscated crap that's impossible to find without a guide
and guess why? TO SELL YOU GAME GUIDES or to use shitty phone numbers that were pay by the minute
seriously, if you actually lived through the 90's you'd have known that
>have to blitz every new game because you are on a ticking clock before the algorithm starts force feeding you videos some gay put spoilers in the thumbnail and you must finish up in less than a month before the devs drop a shit patch that nerfs all the hard bosses
is that my main girl hilary duff?
It is the price of progress and a reflection of the human problem, either you take away people's freedom or you let them learn how to behave
