    Gamefaqs meaning & definition 1 of Gamefaqs.


  • An extremely popular website for video game FAQs, cheats, game saves, and etc. While mostly a hang-out for gamers, it is also frequently visited by lovers of anime, wrestling, and etc.
    Main Interest:
    The best part of GameFAQs (not to mention its namesake and what makes it popular) is the video game FAQs. Containing thousands of guides on various aspects for various games, GameFAQs is basically a heaven for almost anything related to video games.
    However, while the FAQs is considered to be the heart and soul of GameFAQs, what truly makes it an exciting place are the message boards. Like all message boards, it has its share of fools, but truth is that a great deal of the board consist of intelligent posters too. Hanging around the message boards of GameFAQs is a virtually guarantee that youll learn everything you need to know about video games.
    The Ugly:
    While GameFAQs is truly a wonderful place for gamers, it also has its share of negative aspects, which can be summarized into two words: Moderators and CNET.
    CNET - In May, 2003, GameFAQs was bought out by CNET. Users of the website were promised by CNET themselves that GameFAQs would not be changed in any way, shape, or form. However, over the following months, many changes occurred but the vast majority were very small.
    One year after the purchase, however, GameFAQs underwent a major change. Aside from receiving a new, more flashy interface, it was also merged with GameSpots forums (which many original GameFAQs users claimed was the cause of the increase in ignorance among the boards). Regardless, things remained as such until 2006, in which GameFAQs underwent another visual change.
    Moderators - To make a long story short, a good deal of GameFAQs hate the moderators, which would explained why (to a new user) so many users doesnt bother to mod topics which violates the ToS of GameFAQs.
    Some users feel that the moderators are blind (i.e. they believe this is the reason why the vast majority of extremely obvious troll topics are never moderated) while other users become angry with the moderators for what they feel is an unjust mod of their topic or post.
    Additionally, some users feel that the contest system on GameFAQs (provided so that users can contest a moderation) is skewed against them. This may or may not be true, but it is true that the contest system outright claims that it is extremely unlikely a contest will be accepted. Though it is not necessarily an indication that the system is skewed against users, users nonetheless received the impression from the message (and often, from the moderators response to their contest) that the system is, indeed, skewed against them.

    Overall, GameFAQs is still a wonderful place to talk about video games or to look up help. There are some jerks, fanboys, and trolls on the boards, but truth is that the same goes for any other website. Additionally, the number of these people are very small. The majority of GameFAQs consist of fun-loving users who love their games and is more than willing to help their fellow gamers (or those who simply has a question or two).
    Simply put, dont let CNETs love for advertisement and the moderators rather, er, zealous attitude bring down your enjoyment of GameFAQs and youll have a good time there.

    Gamefaqs meaning & definition 6 of Gamefaqs.


  • A site where you can read game walkthroughs, polls, and the message board, where you can chat about games and other things. Seems like a gamers dream come true, right, WRONG!
    I signed up for it, thinking it would be good, but it is horrible! This site is run by CJayC and his lackeys, the [Gamefaqs moderaters]. The mods goal is to spoil the fun. There are many strict rules, you cant even say bitch. And if you say something offensive, you are screwed! You cant even speak your mind! If you diss the mods, you are screwed!
    So, if you break the rules, what happens? Well, you have a karma system. Its kinda like experience points. Post a day, you get one karma point. When you get enough karma, you can post more. Yes, you are limited to posting until 75 karma. If you break a rule, it will be deleted, and you might lose 3 karma. Its called a moderated message. Post something really bad,like dissing the mods, and you lose 10 karma and get warned.
    Keep posting bad things, you get banned. You can talk to a mod if you think the moderation is unfair, but they will usually be a smartass and wont listen to you. I was banned because I said to close a topic.
    The rules are nearly impossible to follow, so dont botter with GameFUCKS.
    The mods are nothing but nerds!
