    How I miss the GameFAQs days… Although, with 3d games it sure is easier to navigate using a video instead of written instructions…

      I feel both ways I think. Video walkthroughs are awesome when they’re put together well, I also think written guides with good visuals are also awesome too. But because basically all the video guides suffer from YTs shitty algorithms, it forces the stupid “WoAeW U wonNt BeliVe ThiS?!?!” title bullshit and floods out better guides trying to “get in on” a trend in a game, etc. It’s a mixed bag like everything else in life, but fuck it is just super frustrating sifting through 4-7m videos of something that could have just been written down.

        Oh yeah, written guides with visual aids are the best, I was thinking about GameFAQs 100% text (and ASCII art) guides
