  • Mod declares himself 100% good, no other opinions allowed
    If anyone can just declare they're totally right about everything, well damn I guess we found the answer to everything. Thousands of years of governments failed where gamefaqs.gamespot.com mods succeeded. It really was that simple the whole time! - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago
  • Which mods are you using (QoL, Performance, dimensions, mobs, etc.)?
    I avoid YouTube or video content of streamers or players that try to assist people, if I need help or am stuck on something I return to the archaic ways of https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

  • Chrono Cross Walkthrough on IGN fixed
    GameFaqs has always been an invaluable resource. This guide seems pretty comprehensive and was getting updates as late as 2016. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago
  • Going through the classic Tomb Raiders for the first time. Man, these old games really don't care if you're an idiot. The puzzles are tough.
    Maybe not for you. The internet most assuredly did exist at that time, as did the popular walkthrough site GameFAQs. We also had printers back then as well. It was a somewhat common thing for a kid to print out a GameFAQ guide, and in the process use up a bunch of ink. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago
  • Method for transferring PS2 saves to Steam Deck (PCSX2)
    I wanted to transfer PS2 game save files (.cbs format) from a site like Gamefaqs to the PCSX2 emulator on my Steam Deck. Sounds easy enough, and here's a guy on YouTube telling you how to add save files to a virtual PS2 memory card using mymc but I encountered a few remaining obstacles: * The Steam Deck is Linux based, so mymc doens't run (flawlessly) out of the box, even if you run it with Wine. * I could only... - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago
  • Whats a game you needed a guide to complete?
    I know not everyone got online at the same time, but Gamefaqs has been around for a hot minute, that's all the access I've ever needed. They got bought by gamespot, but still do exactly what they've been doing for 30 years: free user uploaded guides. I found them in I want to say 2002? 2004? - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago
  • Bf freaks because Gf keeps telling everyone his size
    I used to post a lot to https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

    I don't know the answer to your question, but may I suggest using GameFAQs for a guide? One of my favorite parts of playing older games is going to GameFAQs for the old .txt walkthroughs. Really feels like a time warp. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

    Go to GameFaqs and search for walkthroughs that say 100% on them. Should have every chip and program location, and a walkthrough of the gameplay. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

    Second, you’re not imagining things! These older games are certainly difficult, which is why so many of them had accompanying guides and manuals. You can find tons of tips and walkthroughs for classic games on GameFAQS if that helps! - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago
