God that forum was terrible. Probably the worst place ive ever posted with by far the worst moderation
:geordi-no: gamefaqs forums
:geordi-yes: gamefaqs guides
Are you saying you don’t prefer having to scrub through hour long youtube guides to find the part you’re at? What about those IGN articles that explain how to do exactly one thing in a game, but the information will be hidden in the middle of a bunch of fluff and might not actually be there at all?
The forum was bad, but the guides are still the gold standard. I fucking hate scrubbing through youtube videos or IGN articles that have tons of padding to find out what I’m supposed to do in a game, give me a text document PLEASE.
I did my absolute best to avoid everything but strategy guides there. My favorite threads were any time the word censorship came up. Gamers are truly oppressed.
I had a good experience on the forum actually - I hung out almost exclusively on the punk and metal music forums and am still in touch with a few leftists from there today.
Granted, this was also like 2001-2002.
One time I found a gamefaqs thread about San Andreas from around the time the game came out and a bunch of people were complaining about having to play as a black guy
