Is it actually over for the new generation? Has tiktok won?

images are much better and faster at conveying information, language is just an artificial crutch we have to rely on to pretend like we are not beasts driven only by primitive instincts
get with the times unc, nobody's reading a whole ass yapology when there are countless video guides straight to the point

I actually was on GameFAQ's the other day looking into some old Conflict: Desert Storm games I used to play and was shocked to find that I couldn't actually find any of the old text walkthroughs
did they get rid of them?
was it just a bad game series for them?

some of my warmest gamer memories was printing out entire guides with blissful ignorance as to the value of printer ink

>>736193715
They use codes you can ctrl+f to skip to a particular section, unless you're following a walkthrough there's no need to read an entire document

>>736193715
It was much quicker than having to suffer through a youtube video

Nah they still exist, it's possible that they were taken down for some other reason.

oh sweet
honestly got confused by the new layout and sections
was just in kind of a Conflict: Vietnam mood so I was googling the series and ended up there

for me it was Digimon World

STFU nigger. Your kind is used to till the fields, and nothing more

Yes really, a well-written walkthrough is much easier to look through than a damn video transcript.

This. If I'm looking something up for a game, and I can't find a text guide, I just suck it up and try to do it myself.

Everything went to hell when gamefaqs dabled in the wiki & youtube videos scene. That shit was scrapped, but the damage was never undone.

I remember being stuck for ages trying to find some battery for Sasuke in Mystical Ninja for N64 and the guide was no fucking help. I reread and reread and could not figure it out. Spent days wandering around and didn't know what this guy was talking about. Turns out he forgot a step or some shit and had to do something first to get the area where the battery was. I remember calling a fucking Nintendo hotline with my mom trying to figure this shit out.

Text guides are actually preferable because at least you don't get the audiovisual part spoiled

Monster Hunter guides and general discussion were fucking top tier.
I don't think I could have beaten MHFU without it.

your fucking video guides require me to search through the video for the retard yapping to get to the point.
a bullet list of words takes me seconds to scan through.

The HTML guides on gamefaqs with images and such are always better than uncslop text, sorry nostalgiatrannies
