If you are a beginner gamer, then guides will be very useful to you. What is it and how to use them, we will try to explain further. They make up guides for almost all games, and amateurs do it, the same players, like everyone else, are only more professional. Sometimes there are manuals on games from their developers. Below we will tell you what types of guides are and where to look for them.
Guides: what is
Let's start with the concept of guides. This is the name of the numerous games manuals. In them you can find a variety of information, ranging from the characteristics of the game characters and ending with the secrets of the games, which will allow you to quickly go through all the levels, pump as much as possible and use your character more effectively.
In the manuals published in various sources you can find:
- Existing cheat codes
- a full description of the skills of the hero;
- passing the individual stages of the game;
- secrets of fast character development;
- existing game errors and malfunctions.
If you are looking for guides for online games (it doesn’t matter, for browser or client games), then you can find information about the introduced updates and events there. For example, right after the introduction of new worlds on the sites, you can find detailed guides - what was introduced by the developers and how to use it.
Where can I find the guides
Novice gamers are often poorly oriented in the chosen game, so they are looking for different sources to learn more about it. The game manual can be obtained in various ways:
- in a collector's edition along with the disc or directly in the game itself (for example, guides were distributed from GTA: Vice City);
- on the official website (most often in the article section);
- on forums and sites for fans;
- in magazines for gamers and their online versions.
If you want to find detailed guides on what a game is, then you should turn to forums first of all. On them, as a rule, players share their secrets, write more detailed descriptions. An added benefit of fan communities is that you can sign up for them and actively participate in discussions.
The only case when you can not communicate on the forum is the passage of the old year game. You can find manuals for such games online, but asking a question will often be problematic, as fans have been playing something else for a long time. The most comprehensive guides to date go to online applications and recently released games, which are now at the peak of popularity.
Types of games manuals
It is possible to classify guides in different ways by heroes and other game moments, but it is most convenient to do this by the type of presentation of information:
- video tutorials
- text descriptions;
- illustrated stories.
If it’s easier for you to see once, then you should turn to the video descriptions that are posted on YouTube sites or channels (most often with the tag “Passage”). From the point of view of a professional player, it will be most useful to use guides with step-by-step screenshots added to them, so you can stop at a more difficult moment for you and better learn new information. With the right manual, without outside help, you can play games much easier or develop your hero faster.
