scalyshoujoI think "get good" has some merit, but only to a point. The phrase basically assumes that if you practice and and spend more time with a game, you'll naturally get better.
That's often true, but sooner or later you are going to run into "Sonic 3 barrel" moments where you just wind up getting stuck and no amount of practice will get you past that point. Sometimes you just have to look things up in a guide, and while I wouldn't recommend constantly reading a guide through a playthrough because that gets tedious, from personal experience games are more fun once you realize that sometimes there's just too abstract for you to figure out on your own.
