Topic: Did you ever look at the manuals?

If it's a game I've been anticipating, I force myself to read the entire manual before playing. Self-inflicted torture.

it depends on a few things
1. how excited i am for the game.
2.if its part of a series and i know the controls
3.if i have to go to the bathroom after i get the game

This is why I hate buying used NDS games from Gamestop. Almost every game comes without its original case and manual. Why people throw their NDS cases and manuals away is beyond me. Annoying!

Well same here as many of my N64 games didn't come with instructions so some features I didn't figure out for months.

i dont look at my manuals often except for certain games like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, but i try to keep all of them because they may be rare someday

I keep them the same reason briunj04 does. I also keep them because they might be useful if I ever need help with the game.

I like to read the manuals.
The Fallout 3 Manual is pretty damn awesome!!
Lots of information is on it

I like when they put bio's on the characters in the manual too. lol

Same. It helps you discover more about the characters background.
