GameFAQs-What do you think of it?

[Pingfa]

I frequent the forums myself. Some years ago I never would have thought I would have because it seemed the forums were indeed as obnoxious as you read about. It's actually a lot better now, though - once upon a time I recall every single thread I glanced at soon degenerated into childish bickering and everyone tried hard to show they were better than everyone else.

Since I made a Gamefaqs account, though, all the boards I frequent are friendly enough. The only board I've clicked on that seems like a generally unfriendly place is the Dreamcast board - I've only clicked on it a few times but everytime I have there have been really heated arguments.

The boards I frequent are: NES, Genesis, SNES, N64, Xbox


Boards for individual games are a different matter, of course.

I mainly go to Current Events (Love or Hate), GCN and N64. Those are not bad. Very civil in those last 2, but CE really is a wild card.
I think those who have been to NGG can agree that it is one of, if not the worst boards.

Last time I was on NGG was before the cube came out and I was told my opinion was wrong and that I should agree with someone else because they had been on the site longer. I am sure if I posted there now I would still be considered a "noob" even though I have like 3k karma.

Oh you sage you. But that is a fine example of idiocy on NGG

I honestly do not remember my Karma. Ill check tonight. I just post on GBA Social, and have since it opened in 02.

Edit:
Ok, so I was really wrong. I have 4050 karma.

Game FAQs is for cheaters. Never checked their forums.

Honestly, I've checked gamefaqs maybe thrice for hints on obscure games where I just got stuck. One time it was for Ultimate Alliance. I played that game for weeks, stopped, then couldn't remember what the hell I was trying to do a few weeks later.

This makes me ask the question, how many forums do you guys frequent? This is my favorite forum out of the two I post at, and can barely find the time to post here on slack days. I couldn't imagine posting on half a dozen forums.

I mainly frequent GameFAQs and Racketboy. I really like the interface and community (well for RB at least) of the two. I do check and post occasionally at Digital Press, but those are the only 3 I've been to.

Gamefaqs is just filled with pretentious, annoying, and idiotic people in general. You can get modded for the tiniest of things. The newer boards such as wii/xbox 360/ps3 are pretty bad. The older boards for retro games are infinitely better.

I use GameFAQs for guides sometimes but I never look at the forums.

I've been using GameFAQs for a long long time, it was fun to hang around LUE until the mass bannings took place, then we went elsewhere. I still visit if I'm looking up something for my mom or a customer at work.
