The manuals that come with most computer games are pure garbage. Overstating the obvious with double-talk, heavy dark watermarks that make the text hard to read. Ugly huge borders that mean the typeface has to be TINY.....like 10 point! No index, a useless table of contents....and a complete lack of HOW to do things, what menus, buttons, keys, etc. accomplish what explicit things.
Free user-written walkthroughs are wonderful, but they very rarely fill this gap. They give strategy advice, but very rarely tell you the in-game interface methods to do simple things.
Even on the rare occasions when you find this desperately-needed type of inormation, it's usually screamingly inadequate: "click on the repair icon and click on the object you wish the charachter to repair"
Ok, how about telling me WHERE the "Repair Icon" is, and showing me a screenshot of it, with an arrow pointing to it? How hard is that?
I guess some people actually ENJOY the frustration of having to figure such things out. Not me. I want an immersive experience from a game. I want to be able to forget that I'm playing a game because the interface is utterly intutive and completely responsive to MY convenience.
I'm hoping that I've simply overlooked something. WHERE can you find guides that spell out in excruciatingly explicit detail the menu, mouse, key and other interface correlations to playing games?

Isn't that exactly what instruction manuals usually do?
Reading is your friend Bearcat.

I hesitate to answer since I have never seen one of your questions marked "Solved" but . . . By my definition this would be an example of a good walk-through.
For a step by step, I would say a video walk through like this one for Painkiller.

Geez, it looks like bearcat33 is actually trying to get his rep dropped as low as possible. I've seen much better trolling, both here and other places, but I don't think I've ever seen a troll with such commitment to his craft. Maybe with enough practice he'll actually get good at it.

Wow, theres a negative rep?
cogadh: There are two types of trolls, bored kids and artists.;)

True, but bearcat33 has always struck me as the third kind: borderline mental defective.

Go take a look at his meltdown in the Imperial Glory forum and tell me thats a guy you wouldn't mind sitting next to you on a long train journey. He's a loon or just a bit of a sad case.
