holy fuck. i know its still early in the polling but i cant at all believe the mainstream gamer even knows wtf a fighting game is. then again, those other choices are pretty bad.
edit: i was high when i posted this. im not anymore.
because it is sadly a relevant sampling of the average gamer these days?
sure its not the best evidence supporting “2d fighters need a comeback” but it shows that more average joes are interested in hadoukens than avoiding hostages in the crossfire.
@ you trying to defend GFAQS. Hell, I need not write anything else about your pathetic self. You just basically shot yourself in the foot right there and then. :rolleyes:
Hell, if I take a stroll down the MvC 2 fourms, I’m bound to found stupid shit (i.e. “Sentinel is weak because he’s big and slow!!1!”) without much effort. :lol:
And yes, I once posted there, kinda like…a long time ago. Left midway through 2001.
Any other stupid shit you wanna spit out of your ass?
Actually, that’s not entirely true. With a bit of investigation, you can occasionally find an FAQ that a) is relevant and useful, and b) isn’t laced with bias.
The message boards are another story altogether. Too many fucknuts who think they’re worth a damn, and sadly too much censorship and blatant mod favortism to put them in their place. Christ. The GFAQs forums are the only forums I’ve ever been to that had people that I actually wanted to punch IRL. And I’m fairly mellow, too. From one douche who called people petitioning for a NA version of KH2:Final Mix “Japanophile wannabes who needed to be shot” (and would reply to flames with the most laughable elementary-school gun threats I’ve ever read) to another douche racist asshat named Kouli whose best and only insult when called on his very obvious bullshit is to say “stupid americans and I is not like insults” or some shit, to every other variety of jackass…
Fuck this. Thinking about it is pissing me off all over again. Fuck that place.
NINJA EDIT - There’s a 3S Akuma FAQ that says that “you shouldn’t play cheap and you shouldn’t throw or use fireballs.” :tdown:
Granted, since each and every game has its own forum, it’s entirely possible that there are good communities there that we simply haven’t seen. I know that for every game I’ve visited a GFAQs forum for, I’ve been disappointed.
Gfaqs isn’t as horrible as you make it out. I’m on there usually and I see kaising and preppy post there fairly often. I don’t honestly like it, but I’m usually there to answer any random “noob” questions players may have.
