How do you feel about Gamefaqs.com?

[Scrubking]

I am just curious about your overall feeling of the Gamefaqs.com website. This includes how you feel about the owner, boards, mods, reviews, faqs, etc.

[Rich]

It's all a bunch of idiots; I stay away from the forums at all costs.

[Briand1987]

good site. The messageboards are not as bad as people say they are. There are the really stupid people as everyone says there are but there are also some who give good opinions and everything else like me. You just have to ignore or make fools of the stupid ones.

[FlipSide]

The owner is an idiot (Certified PS2 fanboi)
The site is so-so, Message boards are so full of bull though some are ok.
Mostly PC boards are quite civilized compared to PS2,GC,Xbox and Gameboy general boards.

[Mulliga]

Yeah, some message boards/FAQs/users are quite good. Other people are complete fanboys/smartasses etc. The polls are sometimes cute, and the site is bigger than almost anything else out there, so I'd give them a thumbs-up overall (hey, it's free, which is good for cheapasses like us :P ).

[Demon-Xanth]

Well, they got good faqs :)

[ericb]

I love the FAQs but tend to avoid the message areas. A little redesign wouldn't hurt anyway but I'm not complaining....I just hope it stays a free site.

[Firebrand]

Basically, if it wasn't for Gamefaqs, I wouldn't have ever known about this wonderful site. The FAQs are useful too.

[NuRon]

I dunno about a redesign..I just like it plain and simple text wih blue

[Gothic Walrus]

I'd have to say I like it. There are a few dumbasses there, but the boards have their intelligent users too. Typically, social boards are more intelligent than console boards. The truly dumbass posts come from the newest console boards. You wouldn't belive the crap I've read on the X-Box board...

[Amanda the Red Mage]

I use the FAQs all the time. I occasionally lurk on some of the boards, but mostly I just go for the FAQ pages.

[bluetoast]

I usually hang out on console boards at times, but I like to go to the Movies (theater) and Movies (DVD) boards.

Come on its not that hard to vote.

[minx]

is it too late to change my vote?

The bastards just modded me for mentioning cheapassgamer.com in a message post -- that's all they said I did wrong -- like it was wrong or something!

and what makes it worse, is that some idiot user who doesn't realize how good they have it having sites around like this,actually reported me the over this before the mods even got there-- who the hell is this ridiculously spiteful, just because somebody paid less than they did :-(

[Rich]

Uh...multiple views from single people.
Fine, I'll vote again.
GameFAQs is all a bunch of fucking retarded ass monkeys.

[Uvopsychosis]

I love and hate Gamefaqs at the same time. Its awesome to get information and stuff and even better when people aren't idiots, but when people are idiots, I hate it so much. Theres so much banter about the "console wars" that its disgusting.

[TurlissX4]

I like Gamefaqs but HATE the message boards as many ppl have said. Way to many punk kids talkin outta there ass on the console boards way to MANY. Not to mention you get modded for saying just about anything over there. I dont like GTA:VC sorry your "trolling" WTF?! Like some dude said only the pc boards are civilized since theres much more mature users on it. Other then that site A-ok

[dynamite99]

its more like game$$$s, like the faqs, hate the $$$s

[elprincipe]

Gamefaqs is good and bad. It has a lot of good information, and some message boards (usually for the older systems, which I tend to prefer) are actually civil. OTOH, the message boards for the current systems are virtually unusable due to the high proportion of idiots on them. The mods are also totalitarian in nature, deleting messages for lame and frivolous reasons.

[Mr.Smartypants]

gayfaqs sucks ass, i hate it

[DaBargainHunta]

Many of the users on GameFAQs are immature brats, and the mods are completely useless, but despite those flaws, I actually do like the site. Besides the FAQs, I really dig that each game has its own individual board (they are usually calmer and feature more mature posts than the general system boards).

[GuilewasNK]

Sometimes the mods are asleep at the wheel. They are concerned more about censor bypasses than the trolls IMO. But overall I like it. The are some good boards there.

[alongx]

Hate the forums, occassionally enjoy the faqs.

[JimmieMac]

it's a festering pile of shit and despair. The kids on that board need a good ass kickin' but I'm just one man, I can only crack so many skulls in at a time and they grow in number exponentially.

[WhipSmartBanky]

Sometimes the mods are asleep at the wheel. They are concerned more about censor bypasses than the trolls IMO. But overall I like it. The are some good boards there.

Why do you insist on bumping these old threads? That's at least two GameFAQs threads more than 6 months old you've brought back up.

[JimmieMac]

If it was a girl I'd donkey punch it and leave it for dead in a motel room in a poor neighborhood.

I just wanted to see what people would say. Things change in 6 months.

[Poodleman]

i enjoy the site

[GuilewasNK]

Plus, this topic is about Gamefaqs.com, the other is about the TOS at Gamefaqs. They are different topics.

[KingDox]

well I only got there to get guides and stuff. There are a ton of Fanboy wars all the time. I think Electronica board is the only place I've ever had a decent conversation. The DC board is cool as well, but rarely does anything new pop up.

Hey, I didn't know Minx was mod MonaMinx back at IGN. I remember that name. Small world, it's been such a long time since I used to hang out there.

[SneakyPenguin]

i only go for faqs, nothing else after seeint that people there like shaq-fu. :shudder:

[D4rkewolfe]

I really do not know much about the boards over there, and like I said there are only 2 boards I'm registered for, and only one I regularly visit. I do go check out the FAQs at time. I don't think it's bad, I like it, but if it happened to go away it's not like I'd miss it.

[magilacudy]

I've never gone on the forums, but the rest of the site has helped me through many video games. I guess it's too late to vote, but I would've said I liked it.

[DigitalSpace]

I use GameFAQ's for FAQ's and codes, and that's about it. Sometimes I read reviews, and some are written well, but some are written like a bad book report in a freshman high school english class. Steer clear of the forums.
