Remember when GameFAQs was useful?

(1/2) > >>

MMX:
I guess they're too busy nowadays with their spamboards, their game pages trying to be everything - Yahoo! answers, a wiki for every game (wtf seriously), media for every game, a database for every user showing off the games they own so they can brag... instead of the useful thigns like ACTUAL GODDAMN FAQs and/or reviews for games... the two useful things... nowadays half the games don't even have either anymore.

Having to go to GameFAQs boards asking for help... so annoying... what was once a trip borne out of boredom now a necessity when contributors have the same issues they've dealt with since its conception... needs to be a site that actually works to ease the responsibility on the FAQ-writer... like a wordpress esque editor toolbox for video games...

Who bothers writing FAQs for GameFAQs anymore?  Don't you know?  It's just a giant BBS where you swing your eSchlong around talking about how much video game X sUx more than video game Y.  Board invasions a common thing.  Social boards and strategy boards constantly being mixed when inappropriate.  It's not a FAQ site, it's a site devoted to "hurt and heal" topics!  YEEEY!

I don't know if you've figured it out yet, but I'm venting today.  It's fucking Labor Day, and I hate my fucking job.

黒い灯影:
Ahh, back when GameFAQs was independent.... now they've sold out and sold the company.

Moquin:
Just looked at a faq for Little King's Story today, and i can't say i've noticed any drastic changes in the site in the past decade.

There's also the strategywiki if you hate GameFAQs.

Hyperguy:
While the user submitted FAQs at Gamefaqs are indeed useful, I wouldn't use any other part of the site at all.  The community's a joke and the rest of the site's features are mediocre efforts compared to sites that actually specialize in those areas.

And truthfully, I didn't even notice the Gamespot merger until after you just mentioned it.  Gamespot as I recall was another game's site comprised of stupid shit nobody cares about.  The merger was genius on their part!  Now instead of having to ignore the content of two websites, I only have to ignore one!

Doft:
Yeah, the boards are awfull, and those questions are for lazy people who don't know how to use ctrl+f, but the faqs are still nice...
