    You're too quick to judge. All my X1 games came with a pointless piece of paper advertising. Something I miss....Badly! :p

    Couldn't agree more. The last few games I've gotten have only had free Xbox Live / PS+ cards in them. I miss the manual and the art. Also, I still use an old school "game keeper' if you will and I use to put the manual on the front of each games holder
    and slide the game behind it. The last couple releases I've had to find some box art online and print it out. I know, kinda old and lame but I do miss the manual / art.

    If it isn't lame to you then it isn't lame. I collect Pokemon merch, it couldn't really get more lame than that but to me it's a huge part of my childhood and I like it. Something I miss....Badly! :p

    Haha. Ok I forgot about that. I suppose they did at least feel nice enough to give us a cover for our disc as well.

    Their hearts are in the right place then I guess. Give it a few years and buying a hard copy will just mean you go to the store and have the disc thrown at you down the aisle like a frisbee.

    Haha. Love it....In all seriousness though. I do think game companies used to put a lot more effort into presentation. Something very sorely lacking today. To me it's a real shame.

    I'm almost actually inclined tos ay that I don't missmanuals as much these days seeings as how many of today's games don't really need them,despite the in-game tutorials. I never really needed them in the past, honestly, and this
    is gonig back since the Atari 2600; Even during the NES-SnES era, maybe even N64 I'd just pick up the controller and try things without ever really needing the manual. However, my being an owner of at 1 of each from the big 3, I
    will give credit to Nintendo as to how they've implimented the option to access (what appears to be) sort of a digital manual on their 3DS cartridges and Wii U game discs; Basically whenever you need to, hit the home button, and among lots of your
    pause menu options is a manual, select it and from there you can thumb page to page left and rightas well as up and down on each page. So, it kinda could be a good idea to include these but kinda not when you consider the majority of games on XBox One-PlayStation
    4, it'd kinda be replacing game guides to a limit.

    Why give people a manual when they can sell you a completion guide, and the silly thing is......people buy them, I mean the whole point of playing a game is to play it, not read a book so you can complete it the first time the best way.

    I have never bought a completition guide, but I do miss rpg guides, although you still get a map with ES games.

    Yeah it's a shame. Remember way back when PC games came in boxes the size of encyclopedias before the industry collectively decided to start scaling things back. Now it's even smaller cases where a game has a two page manual which is really 90% just the
    safety warnings they need to included it's a shame. Since I keep all my manuals in a file I still have some for games I lost the discs for way back.

    -

    Two of my favorite manuals were for Homeworld and Mechwarrior 4. Homeworld one had some of the lore, but more importantly unit types with detailed descriptions you never saw in game and which countered which and all that. Mechwarrior 4 had descriptions of
    the Mechs and how they were developed and diagrams showing the Mech in relation to the pilot plus little tips you were never told in game like standing in water improved weapon cool down.

    -

    The one advantage though is in Dead Rising 3 if you go to help it snaps the games manual which has some fairly useful information like drink combinations and effects. Was helpful for me since my buddy started playing it before me on my account so I started
    the game from the beginning, but with all his upgrades. Had tips for playing as well as the back story from the previous two games I never completed which made the game more enjoyable.

  15. I miss manuals too . Is good to see some few Devs not being lazy or stingy to include manuals in the copy. I hate when i do receive the new crappy an incomplete manual but i do receive a complete catalog to buy from their online stores.
