I see no harm in it trying to fully complete a game. I take issue when... Scratch that. I personally don't like using walkthroughs, but for completion purposes, go for it.
Using a guide for a game you've already beaten

You seem to be asking for confirmation that using a guide does not make you a bad person.
I'm here for you. You're a splendid person, guide or no.

I don't feel bad when I have to use a guide because a lot of the time I've either not played the game in a long time and don't remember what to do or there are specific missable items in the game that I want to get. You shouldn't feel bad either for using a guide.
I had to consult the interwebs for one of the last puzzles in Braid's World 5 (I think 5) of Braid. And when I read what I had to do, it was so much easier than what I been trying for 20 minutes. It was the last puzzle piece I needed and I was going crazy.
Also I was stuck on 99% complete on Red Dead Redemption for a long time, finally consulted a guide for what I what missing and it turned out to be one bounty in one town in 'Mexico.'
So when I am completely stuck or out of ideas, I will use a guide. Shame on me.

This is about all that needs to be said. Now if you'll excuse me I have a friend request to send out.Zhukov said:

No. Never feel bad for using a FAQ or guide book. You're not cheating, you're not hacking, you're just consulting a guide.
Confession time! I used a FAQ to beat Zelda AND Zelda 2 the first time. I made up for it by not using the corner exploit fighting Dark Link...the second time...for most of the fight.
I'm far more lenient on myself when it comes to using guides. (I used to be a huge no, but that was when I was teen and I had time to burn lol, life, why you so busy?) I'm currently using one to platinum Atelier Totori and Atelier Meruru, just cause I know it's not something I'd be able to figure out myself. I've finished Totori myself 5 times, so using a guide now doesn't really seem all that bad... and Meruru three, man I love those games.
The only time I've used a guide/youtube videos without having previously finished the game was Catherine, cause those puzzles are a B**ch with a capital B and I was on Easy :O I later went to Very Easy cause I'm pretty bad when it comes to quick thinking puzzles.
What are people's opinions on using cheat codes? I wasn't aware they still existed until I got frustrated at Catherine, but I don't think I would use a cheat like invincibility in a game. I know a guy that uses cheats up the wazoo just so he can get a good gamer score. Kind of defeats the purpose of playing a game though, right?
Oh I also used a cheat to get Missingno in Pokemon Red. Phew it's good to get that off my chest...
