Topic	When googling help for games nowadays, why is first result usually a video?
LinkPizza 12/30/18 2:12:21 PM #25:	DrYuya posted... When I made this post, it was to point out the failings of videos as a good solution for game help. And they are...the reasons they are inferior to written guides are numerous, I dont doubt I could make a list like others gave if I really had to. But as bad as they are...videos blow posting for help yourself out of the damn water. Actually making a post and waiting for a response which may not even be correct...yeah no...that crap is feeble as hell. What if your game is obscure and nobody posts on any of its message boards anymore? And again...and most important...what if the only responder gets everything wrong or us simply a toxic hateful child? Let's not make it sound like a good thing to rely on such people okay? If the other choice is posting for it myself, yeah in that case I'll just take the shitty video. But still, prefer to not have to do either. Sure. If thats how you feel. And yorre right. They could get everything wrong. But they also might not. And give good tips. I do it when I cant find a guide or a video. Or if I find a video that doesnt explain anything. So far, the answers have been right/good. But I usually prefer guides/videos depending on the issue. But posting a question isnt bad at all. Again, depending on the issue... Of course, all three depend on who the other person is (who wrote the guide, who made the video, who the posters answering are, etc)... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
