| Topic | I don't really care that much about games not having paper manuals anymore tbh |

I'm just talking about a manual you can fit in the left slot (for a disc game) or in a standard-sized box I highly doubt that anyone who is saying they miss reading manuals is talking about the useless things that came in CD cases. other great examples of manuals are from Master of Orion 2, SimCity 2000, Civilization games which also came with full color charts. BG2 and IWD also came with cloth maps, though they weren't very useful. Skyrim came with a paper map. Morrowind came with the most useful paper map I've ever seen a game have. (anyone playing Morrowind today and constantly getting lost, maybe you're missing the map!) again, it takes a complex enough game in the first place to warrant a good manual. your example of Half Life 2 is ridiculous considering how absurdly shallow the game is. these days, I could imagine games from Paradox and Amplitude coming with great manuals worth reading. the only problem is that, especially for Paradox games, these days these kinds of games evolve too much after release. even if they came with great manuals, they'd be obsolete pretty quickly. --- The truth basks in scrutiny. http://i.imgur.com/GMouTGs.jpg http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png ...
