When playing a game, how much do you isolate your experience from the internet?

depends on the game, if it's something high profile I really care about I generally binge it until it's done, usually it's story heavy games like kojima's, then I avoid Yea Forums completely until I'm done.
I didn't really care for bloodstained and was in the threads since day one

If it's a good game, i'm probably having too much fun to waste time on the internet instead of playing the game, bit then again, i don't usually play games on release so the discussion already died down.

Where character builds are irreversible I like to look up build discussions and guides. Particularly where you have to choose passive skills, the value of which might not be easily identified without context. For example, a 10% reduction in the mana costs of spells could either be entirely unnoticeable or it could open up a frontloaded powerful endgame spell combo that would otherwise be impossible. This sort of stuff is all I really look up.

I miss the pre-internet/early internet times where stuff like this wasn't a conscious choice, but the only option, finally getting through a hard part into a weird endgame as a kid felt like getting somewhere you weren't supposed to be, like only few other people have been there
Evan Bell
Not at all. I want to find out everything to see if it'd be worth the money/bandwidth.

Completely avoid anything related to it until I finish the game.
