Who else DOESNT want to look up a guide?
Anyone else here want to level up, get some nice gear, and attempt the raids without knowing anything about them? I kind of find that fascinating. I want it to be a surprise and much greater reward for figuring out the boss on our own.
Anyone want to agree to NOT look up the videos coming out until we finish the first raid? (:

I shall be an explorer with you :D well maybe not in the game itself but... Still an explorer. I find all the fun in the experience instead of watching how-to's >.>
-
Me. I do everything at least once on a dry run for the story/fun/excitement. Then i do it again on a harder setting (or whatever), than again with guides for any easter eggs or secrets i missed. Takes awhile but you can fully experience almost any game that way. ALMOST.
-
My ghost edition comes with a gun guide so I'm going to be decoding it.
-
Blind run first. Double back with guide for missed secrets.

Edited by aboniks: 8/10/2014 3:33:48 AMI'm down. No raid guides for me. I usually only look up something for gameplay when I'm well and truly stuck. [spoiler]At which point it becomes obvious that I'm just an idiot.[/spoiler]
-
I hate cheating like that. If I go through a raid successfully, then I may look at a guide, but never the first time through.
-
You should ALWAYS do your first playthrough as a blind run. Figuring things out for yourself is part of the fun & challenge.
-
1 ReplyI always try to beat games without any hints or guides, unless of course it's impossible to figure out like the poison boss in Dark Souls 2.
-
No only cause I'm cheap! I will scour the net for the answers I seek. Lol
-
Just like good ol days. It feels slot better when you figure thing out on your own
-
Yeah, I'd rather figure out something myself, rather than follow what someone else has done.
-
I get guide books for the pictures :)
-
Only for the golden chests, ghosts and Easter eggs
-
Meh I won't be buying one but once I've done the story I will look up guides on the gold chests and ghosts but other then them that's it I can find spin metal etc as I go.
-
I got a collectors strategy guide coming alongside my game (it's preorder able - look it up). I'm gonna blaze through the story without it, then use the guide to fill my grimoire - find the dead ghosts, gold chests, hidden stuff, etc. etc. I may even then use it for the first few raids to get an idea of what it will be like in the game. Then I'll learn along with the rest of the community as the xpacs start being released.
-
If raids are done properly, a guide won't help.
-
I do!
-
3 RepliesI'd like to do this in a perfect world... But it's hard to avoid such things during my pre bed YouTube sessions. Plus knowledge is power. I like power.
-
About guides. As soon as one comes out the guide has missing stuff in it like dlcs game add-ons and updates.
-
I'll probably be playing this like I did Borderlands, do my own thing overall (builds, areas I go to, find stuff out myself), but look for farming guides for Legendaries and Exotics drops from certain enemies. I always prefer to do my own stuff when it comes to games like this.
-
I do this for all games except skyrim. I hated how in skyrim certain choices can really mess you up later on. For instance, during Namiras daedric quest i chose not to be a cannibal by saving the victim and killing all the cannibals. I didnt know that doing this does not grant me a daedric artifact and therefore i couldnt get the trophy for collecting 15 artifacts (oblivion walker). Thankfully one of the daedric quests can award 2 artifacts via a glitch
-
Oh I definitely don't want to know anything about the raids. Or most of the content, for that matter. I'm OK knowing character abilities and taking a look at a few different weapons to see how they mesh with the gameplay, but the discovery is half the fun. If I don't feel like I'm discovering it on my own then I'm just treading someone elses ground.
-
Yes love not knowing
-
Only for where dead ghosts are at... Little buggers are annoying to find...
-
*raises hand*
-
I do that for every game as my choices, right or wrong, are my own. Also it's more fun discovering the unknown for one self. Now there is one type of game genere that is the exception, JRPGs. Making a mistake or missing an item and not being abke to go back and retrieve it is very annoying. Besides that, Destiny IMO should not be played with prior knowledge of a level, or the excitement of discovery is lost.
