Just musing on the old days looking at some older games (twenty years old) and remembering when the site was like "hey don't submit a guide for a game that has like ten guides already".

Nowadays I suppose they'll still turn down guides if they're crap or if they don't expect it to be completed.

But I think the days of "saturation" are long behind us.

Are other people still actively creating guides besides you here?

Lol not a chance. No one writes reviews anymore either.

On the bright side, it's a good opportunity for casual old school writers to submit guides and critiques without worrying about competing with users posting 200pg text documents.

Who exactly does the approving of guides? Or what's the submission process?

Easy as hell system.

You can submit word documents or use the site's HTML word processor.

I'm literally thinking of just tossing all my reviews. They're crap.

GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC

Yeah dude years ago. Like I'm pretty sure it's been about ten years since Formatted Guides became a thing.

If you feel that strongly correctinga particular game review or two, grammatically-speaking you should simply edit them like the HP game or add a complimentary retrospective review so that the differences between past and present are evident for everyone.

Example, people thought Killzone 2 was GOTY-tier amazing on its launch year. Now? Ehh not so much that but still good looking. Ya know, that sort of retrospective spin.
