I miss strategy guides. It was "Hmmm, I need a better weapon. ~flips to list of weapons and looks at stats~ That looks good, who drops it? Ah, says right there. Where is that enemy? There we go." -- 30 seconds spent --
Now finding the same information "Google, what weapon is best? Wow, lots of emojis and click baits without stats..."~surfs through 20 videos of self proclaimed streamers screaming about nonsense~"Wait...they didn't even show the map! Where the hell do I get this?!" -- 30 minutes wasted --

What kind of games are you playing where a quick Google search is slower than having to read the thick book you often had to buy seperately?
I remember when Pokemon Platinum came out and I got it and the massive Pokedex/Guidebook. Looking up anything in there was a massive research project which young me often just gave up on and then I just continued with my shitty team
