Game Manuals

I only read my game manuals when I'm bored and there's NOTHING to do. The controls are usually in the game, and what you do is also said in the game... :/ So... eh...

 

Yes, I keep them. They belong in the box anyways, so why throw them away? Even though I don't read them anymore, I feel that they're a part of the game in a way. I don't buy many games online for this very reason, because my brain is stuck in a tradition.

 

I always read the game manual to learn the controls and layout of the game before I even play. It gives me an advantage in the early game.

 

I keep them! Love hoarding those since they're so pretty.. I also love the smell of new books and manuals so that makes me all the more tempted to keep them. x'D; They're nice little collectibles.

 

I don't even look at my game manuals until I'm really finished with the game. I somehow like to read them, and I keep them inside their game, where it's pretty organized.
That official artwork in the manuals though-

 

I loved looking at them years ago! I always found the lil' blurbs a manual had concerning the story and certain main characters. It was usually no more than a page, but still, it fascinated me for a time. Now I get disheartened whenever I open up a new game and only see a white slip of paper. Booo!

 

When I was littler, I used to keep the manuals and read them all the time, for fun! I never do anymore, as nowadays, they're all digital on the consoles, which I don't really get. I'll just look up a tutorial if I need to, haha.

 

I love these so much! Shame they don't seem to be putting the small ones in the box anymore. I still buy all of the ones for Pokémon, they're just so fun to read even if I know all the info.

 

Well there has been times as of late where games no longer come with Manuals in the physical copies anymore, usually it's just a small pamphlet with game settings, but no longer do they really make manuals since developers try to incorporate everything the player needs to know in the games already. I wouldn't mind cool fact pamphlets since I remember in sonic games they would list each character with a Biography next to them, which actually helped fans understand some Canon and story behind certain characters.
