    idk, but I always liked the smell of a new video game instruction manual. Maybe I'm the only one.

    I used to look through and read about the characters and story on the car ride home from getting the game. Good times, good times

    Not really sure. They weren't that helpful, but they were kinda fun to look at.

    YES I always love manuals, I'm happy KH games still do the big manual thing :)

    The manual I've ever seen was the Jak & Daxter 1 manual, it was a HUGE map

    It was always cool to look at the flavor text, so sure.

    But games STILL come with manuals. So how can i miss them if they are still being made? The only games that have no manuals in it are PS Vita games.

    Yeah, because it meant you didn't have to spend an hour going through a boring tutorial, and it provided some background information about the game.

     

    Manuals these days? My manual for Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate is seven pages, and shows the controls. That's it.

    Yes. Especially when it had character information.

    I completely agree I miss enemy info n advanced control layouts

    i only ever read the manual if i was stuck in the mall with my family cuz they were getting stuff too. i also only read the manual for little specific things and almost never find what i want to know anyway.

    They made the car ride home from gamestores so much easier.

    You can still buy those thick ass manual books xD haha. But no I like never read them I like to find out things myself.

    Not really. I still have some.

    I liked to be able to read the story before playing. It helped me understand what was going on. My favorite example of this was Diddy Kong Racing. I am not sure I would have understood the point with out that info. But I didn't really read or care about the other information.

    Somewhat.  While you learn in game what to do, if I leave a game for a while (due to coursework and exams) and go back I sometimes forget how to do stuff, but don't want to start again to learn how.

    I used to love reading them on the way home from getting the game as a kid. Doesn't really apply anymore, but kids nowadays should be able to experience that joy too haha

    Yes yes yes!!

    Nah I never read them anyway.

    They were pretty cool to skim through if I was bored and had nothing else to do, but other than that they were just a waste of space/paper. Can't imagine many people actually got any use out of them.

    Well kinda only read them occasionally
