Wanded 10/15/19 9:32:52 AM #28:	Ferarri619 posted... Gamefaqs in general has died over the decade. Social boards I used to frequent used to have new posts every few seconds but that has changed to like one post per week or fewer even. Also compare a PS4 games' Gamefaqs pages to a PS1 game. Even the most popular games nowadays don't get FAQs, screenshots or even reviews. PS1 games are filled with different walkthroughs with FAQs of any game mechanic within the game you can think of. Separate FAQs for things like story, specific character strategies etc. Now Twitch, Youtube etc. have taken over video game fandom and Gamefaqs just isn't as relevant as it was in the 90s/2000s. Yep it's because of youtube, why see photos when you can just look how the game really looks and plays, similarly you can just skip to the part you're stuck in on playthroughs rather than start browsing a faq. As for reviews, people mostly go by company or hype nowdays but again i suspect youtube is the culprit here as well as reviews there are still going strong, botw reviews there can easily pass 1mil views. During the PS1 era we didn't have youtube so...gamefaqs. --- Puss in Boots was a good movie and it deserves more recognition <cite>Wanded posted [p:928790916] in this board...
