When was the last time you had to...

I didn't google or need a tip, but I have no aptitude for combat at all...League of Legends, WoW, Call of Duty...I'm just cannon fodder all the way.
Absolutely rubbish, can't do it. I like to think it's because I'm a lover not a fighter, but really I'm just lame.
Even my beloved space sims, I used to really enjoy Freelancer back in the day, played Elite Dangerous in VR and can't even get past the combat tutorial...shocking!

Used to love Frontier (Elite 2), played for hours as a kid. An hour into Elite Dangerous and I gave up, got a refund from Steam.The last game I used google to help was Limbo. Gutted that I had to resort to it on one small section as I was really struggling. Other than that I figured out all the other puzzles which was far more satisfying.
I use it quite a lot, just don't have the time or patience to spend ages trying to figure out a puzzle, wander around aimlessly working out who I'm supposed to be talking to or if it's not a great game and I just want to get to the end. No idea how I managed as a kid when the only solution was to keep trying or wait in hope that the next issue of my favourite magazine would have a guide.

I remember the original Unreal game. You are supposed to pick up a gun in the early stages, and I missed it, and later you need to somehow reach an inaccessible button to open a gate.....We lived out in the sticks in the Philippines back then.
Two weeks of frustration, no internet at the time, and eventually had to take a bus into Manila and buy a walk-through book to get the answer. The answer was to restart the game and get the gun.
I often used to play a game section by section, then read the walk through to see if I had missed anything.
I once played Metal Gear Solid, Phantom Pain, without any help, and when I finished it told me I had completed 7%....
That is seven, not seventy.
I never did get back to the game with a walk through.

I'm a bit guilty of this, especially on big open world games.
Fallout: New Vegas I had my laptop next to me the whole time!
I just want to experience the story and not waste too much time faffing about.
To be fair, a guide is useful for F:NV because every time something unexpected happens you need to double check it's intentional and not the game glitching out.Fallout: New Vegas I had my laptop next to me the whole time!
