nope.

this upcoming redesign is just everything they've tried to force on us with prior updates, that they ended up backing out on due to backlash.

Somebody is getting punched in the wiener if I start seeing that on my screen. Or I'll just leave quietly, but I've been playing Double Dragon IV and my punching game is absolutely on point right now.

I think that may be the final nail in the coffin. Every change to this site has frustrated me, but I begrudgingly dealt with it. I don't understand why it has to change. There is nothing wrong with the way it is. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

I seriously hope that's not going to be what the board looks like. If it is, I imagine Gamefaqs will probably lose half of its remaining userbase in the next year.

GameFAQs has been trying to turn itself into a site entirely formatted for mobile devices for about 8 years now.

Their assumption is that most younger users only ever go online on their phones (or maybe tablets) anyway, so trying to make sure your site actually looks good on a laptop or PC is just a waste of time at this point.

They're never going to stop trying to chase the "young" demographic, and they're never going to stop failing to get it because there's already about a dozen other sites they'd rather be posting on rather than one that was obsolete 15 years ago going through its mid-life crisis. It's the tech equivalent of "Hello, fellow kids!"

That's potentially helpful (though not something I've ever felt a need to have), but it doesn't make up for making the whole site look like a screenshot of a .txt file.

They have been wanting to go mobileish for awhile and this looks to be a larger push for it. Looks HORRIBLE.

So what, it will look like two different websites depending on where you are, social boards or game boards?

It will be the ultimate final evolution of the GameFAQs/GameSpot merger.

Jeez it really does look like the stuff the adblock removes.
Good thing I mostly use GameFAQs on the GameRaven app on my phone.
The only thing that's annoying is that voting in polls crashes it.
Hopefully they're fixing it soon because it has persisted for several months now.

Oh the game boards are gonna be a shit show. I dont know how many of you have tried the beta but they are combining all multi-platform games boards together so its just going to turn into a console war most the time probably. Not to mention the technical issues with cross generation games.

That was my first thought as well.

"I'm having a problem with X. Any help/advice?"

"Just use cheats/edit your save file/use a mod."

"I can't do that, I'm playing on the PSexbox."

"lol play on PC, scrub."

Yes, that's some helpful advice right there!

Not that I'm likely going to be using the game boards anyway, because they've been shit for years and YouTube walkthroughs, game-specific Wikis, and Reddit are all better for figuring things out at this point than GameFAQs is.

To be honest a lot of multi platform games end up just using only one of the boards anyway.

yeah. this change isn't as big as some make it out to be. most if not (almost) all multiplats already use only one board. Usually it's the playstation board now. Seen a bunch of pc players in the ps board. And the xbox boards are dead as fuck unless it's an exclusive. That is not a bad change. Having one game listed 20 times is a waste.

But the rest of this? Looks like shit. They can dump it for phone users, but god, spare pc users.

Also, to prevent this problem from above, you can simply flair your topic, like on reddit. maybe make it mandatory to specify the platform before you're allowed to post your topic. done, problem solved.
