Hey long time listener - love your show. Anyways, I trust your opinion more than the next guy and would like to ask a general question. What do you guys think of gamefaqs.com? I've been banned for getting angry with the moderator because of them being retarded and all (but I'm an instigator).

but what do you guys on this forum think of that pathetic forum.

I new to, but have been a member of gamefaqs since 03 or 04. It's good for what it's named for walkthroughs, and Q and A's about games, and many of those are very well done(IMO). The boards though are a mix, there seem to be too many elitists at times, which gets annoying, but you'll occasionally get into a good solid debate, so all in all SO-SO

This is all just an opinion, so take it for what its worth

How "pathetic" GameFAQs is is on a board-by-board basis. Some boards have some pretty intelligent members, some are full of noobs (GHOST Squad Wii board was a notorious example, I made an FAQ thread but no one read it and kept asking the same questions), some others are a mix of both.

gs68, if all the boards were together they'd become the gamespot forums... but I digress. find a good board, and the discussions are great. and where would be without its FAQs? i'd still be in the first case of phoenix wright >_<

Gamefaqs is pretty reliable when it comes to Guides and Codes. I use it when ever I'm stuck somewhere in a game.

So true, I have had an account and have probably made a totally of 10 posts in about 6 years. However as people say all the rest of the site is great.

If it's for anything but guides,I avoid that site like the plague. That place seems to be overrun with Nintendo fanboys/Xbox haters to the point where it's predictable.

I go to the gamefaqs boards, Most of the users are okay, except for The boards such as The main boards and whatnot, And there are so many snakers on mario kart, it's anoying. although i usually stay towards less retarded boards such as the metroid fusion and whatnot...

If you ever browse the BEMANI and Rhythm Action board, watch out for in-jokes.

And watch your mouth if you play O2Jam or are not able to AA a level 12 on IIDX.

I've been a GameFAQs user since 1999. The community can be incredibly stupid drama-llamas at times (and ye gods, I feel for the mods that have to clean that shit up), but all in all it's a decent place to be, especially on smaller boards.
