For the most part you can find the solution to any problem that would have been previously solved by a strategy guide on the internet. The last guide I bought was for GTA:San Andreas back when that came out, even then it was only because it was more detailed than the info on the net.

Of course, second disc got boring and I don't think I've since completed it. Twilight Princess on the other hand. Well, ocassionally dipped into GameFAQ's but other than that, I'm working through it. I think it does degrade the sense of achievement was completing the game, but the fun had during it isn't bad. It also saves time in having to know how much you need to level up for the next boss. That's an advantage. Particularly useful in SO... The last srategy guide I got was for Star Ocean because it was a stupid (good way) game.
