I get where you are coming from with your situation I just think it ruins the game but it also depends on how much you try yourself before googling it like I recently bought Jedi Knight 2 Outcast which I only played a demo of in my childhood (I had Jedi Knight Jedi Academy though) but now with my apathy and the internet I immediately went to look up on YouTube if I had been stuck at a point for just 30-60 minutes where I as a child would have had no other choice but to be persistant but then again nowadays I have apathy, anxiety and I feel like I only have 10% or less of my cognitive functions so my mind is complete shit.
If you are 22 I assume you got to experience a lot of the awesome stuff in childhood too you know back when everything was original e.g. Pokemon, Yugi-Oh, Beyblade, Dragonball Z, Digimon, since all of these series came out there hasn´t been anything original big hit if so I would like anyone to tell me what big fad there has been in terms of series and toys.
