Did you read your last game manual?

[HMXChrisCanfield]

Just curious: For the last non-rockband game that you bought, did you read the manual?

Obviously, this wouldn't count games that don't have manuals.

And while we're on the question, if you did read all or part of the manual, why? What motivated you to open it in the first place, or keep it open?

I prefer to learn the game on my own, I only look if I need help.

Yeah, I read the Lego Batman book, but only because it was the only thing in arms' reach on the way to the pooper.

[Der_Lex]

Yes, but that was because I was on a train with nothing else to read at the time.

[ThrobingCane]

Son of a...you sneaked that "(non-rockband)" in there, but to be honest I skim most of my manuals. I voted without reading, just judged from the thread name.
But it still applies I guess, so I answered it honestly.

I usually skim through the manuals for games I buy. More for background story and artwork though. I never really read the instructions, almost all modern games have a good tutorial built in, and in the ones that don't, the manual is bogus anyways.

I voted before I read the first post.

I said that I skimmed most of the Rock Band 2 manual.

Unfortunately game manuals tend to leave out the information that I am usually looking for, which means I have to look things up online instead. I see this as an argument for making manuals more information-complete, not one for eliminating them, by the way.

[Renrock]

Nope. I usuallay only look at RPG manuals for the art. Most never leave the case.

Only manueal I've looked at recently was RB2 just to see the info on the 20 tracks.
