Poll of the Day > Site keeps getting worse

(+) Yeah! (+)

literal civil rights violation

It upset me almost as much as this thread upset you. Nice sig lmao

now they have boxart for all the different releases of a game on every version of the game instead of just for the version you're on

giant boxes

Weren't those just plastic CD-ROM cases?

I don't visit anything on this site other than this board, the Star Trek Board, Doctor Who board, and very rarely the Rockman EXE 6 boards. Oh and every once in a while I try and post on the anime board but those people are unapproachable.

On one hand I'm glad they finally combined the game boards rather than having separate boards for identical ports

big oof

I find that more annoying than anything. Mainly because there are often differences between different versions of games (meaning the answer for one port isn't always accurate for other ports), and they picked the most half-assed and broken way of combining the boards (ie, there are still separate boards, but you can see topics from the other boards without any differentiation).

It would be one thing if they combined every board into a single board, and it was obvious that there weren't platform-specific alternatives (ie, you can't choose between PC/PS4/Switch/Xbone boards for Stardew Valley, there's just one Stardew Valley board period). But the current way just encourages stupid people to not understand that they're reading posts from people playing other versions of the game (which people did even before the boards overlapped - but now it's much worse).

The PC/console divide is where it becomes the biggest issue - it's annoying to ask how to solve a problem in a given game and be told to use the "cheat console" or edit the save file or download a patch/mod when those are things you can't actually do when playing on PS4/Switch/Xbone. But there are other cases where platform crosstalk becomes annoying or renders advice useless

I get why they combined the game boards (because the site is dying and there aren't enough users on most boards to actually answer questions or make the game boards useful at all), but as per usual for GameFAQs, they picked the worst possible way to "fix" the problem.

When you have nothing to say but just NEED to respond so you can tell yourself you "won".

who is looking at game boxart here lmao

flairs are a thing

board settings are a thing

you can just separate the boards back to how it was, just toggle the "all products" button next to topic list and then you can go to whichever platforms board you want by clicking the platform underneath the game title.

This has nothing to do with anything.

That doesn't really stop other people from being dumb about what topic they're posting in. Which is the actual problem, not which topics -I'M- seeing.

and that's why the flairs state which platform the game they're playing is

which nicely means that yes, the flairs do have something to do with it

The lack of self-awareness is astounding.
