Gamefaqs - An old gaming website that still exists somehow

I personally don't see people really needing guides for games anymore thanks to youtube. They claim "we need them for retro games" but there are so many longplays of everything now it's not really true.
Wikis, too. The old fashioned colossal text file guide is obsolete as hell now. GameFAQs added mini-wikis way too late, and there are still countless guides up there written by teenagers 20 years ago. GameFAQs doesn't really have much of a purpose anymore.
 
That is, if you believe that the site itself generates enough traffic to stay afloat like they claim. I personally don't see people really needing guides for games anymore thanks to youtube.

I disagree. It feels better to use a text guide for the game since you're still actually finding/doing something rather than literally copying what someone else is doing. But what do I know, I'm just a boomer.

Not to mention that Youtubers are incredibly obnoxious. And how many longplays do you ever see with timestamps?
 
It's nice you two still need Gamefaqs, but I was talking about the greater population.
 
C'mon, Elon. Buy GameFAQs. Bounce a billion bucks between Bacon's buns. I wanna make those fags cry by gently disagreeing with their political opinions without getting shitcanned.
It's sad that's really all it takes, both to make them cry AND to be banned. Imagine being one of the last mainstream forums to still exist and turning it into a libtard echo chamber, what a disgrace.

One day it'll go down and just be remembered as ResetEra-lite. Good fucking job, faggots.
 
The only time I’ve ever bothered with gamefaqs was when I needed a walkthrough for the eye of the beholder games.

Taken from CE. It has been a while since I lurked there and it's still letting out a fuckton of roentgens as ever.
 
Might be aging myself here, but anyone remember when Gamefaqs boards merged with the Gamespot boards? Boy did people lose their shit over that, although it made trolling super fucking easy since you could just create Gamespot accounts then jump to the Gamefaqs side.

Especially when they slapped the Gamespot logo on top of the GameFAQs logo.

o god this thread is making me feel old, sorta. i was an underage LUErker when the board went private so i guess im one of the youngest people with a lue-able account? Other than even more underage accounts at the time but I only knew of a couple.

Does anyone here still have LUElinks access? That account was banned ages ago but I'm curious whatever became of the board. I don't remember it being troon infested last I was active but that was... At least ten years ago now. The only user I distinctly remember is the furry, Fox1337.

Edit: ooo and for event memories, the whole deathly haLLows incident was entertaining. takes a pretty exceptionally retarded individual to expect a bunch of autists to keep a leak private.

I left LL in 2018, but even then I knew I had stayed too long. Troons had taken over absolutely everything, if they wanted a user gone the impotent mods found an excuse to remove them. New topics became a rarity, the topic list was nothing but circlejerk threads and troons treating the forum like their personal livejournal. It's really fucking sad, and i can only imagine how much fucking worse it must be now.
 
I just saw an email today from GameFAQs saying that I received a new Bronze medal from participating in the forums, with only a 2% participation rate. Admittedly, I thought I deleted my account forever, so I decided to log back in and recover my password, so I can officially close and delete my account.

It says a lot that I created an account over a half a decade ago.

Holy shit did that produce some salt back in the day. Even in current year the truly exceptional have that quote from CJayC in their sigs, the one about “not selling the soul of the site” :stress:

How much of a faggot would someone have to be to even have that quote at this point? CJayC has been gone like twice as long as he was even around.
 
CE is losing their minds right now about Roe v Wade being overturned.

Of course people are rushing to ask the real questions, "how can I make this about ME?"
