Specially the ones where you have to find stuff.

I usually attempt and manage to get them without looking up any info, but other times I miss something and I don’t want to go thru the tedious process of re-combing whole sections of the levels, or even starting over, just to find some stupid note that I overlooked. Yet, I want the achievement, so I end up looking a guide and I feel like I haven’t truly earned the achievent.

Yes, I know that playing a videogame shouldn’t become a task and that I simply should play it the way I enjoy it the most, but I want too see what others think.

    Let me answer the headline with a couple other questions: What’s your opinion about consulting a GPS or map when going somewhere you haven’t been before? What’s your opinion on not cooking every meal from scratch?

    Some of us have cognitive impairments that lead us to otherwise getting completely lost and abandoning the game altogether. Others just want to get past an annoyance like in your case.

    What I’m trying to say is that it’s ok to achieve things with help, especially in a medium that’s supposed to be about enjoyment and an escape from the drudgery of real life.

        Before getting a phone with GPS, I’d be late for everything because I always got hopelessly lost, sometimes more than an hour of just desperately trying to find somewhere that was easy for most people to find.

        I’m never trying to find my way without GPS and mass transit apps again if I can help it!
