Live Blogs You're only reading this because I rated the game 3/10! Let's read horrible GameFAQs reviews!

Game FA Qs is perhaps one of the most informative Video Game websites known to man. Created in 1995, the site is a database of video game information, nearly all of which is submitted by volunteer contributors. You can find just about anything you'd want to know about any given game: walkthroughs, maps, cheats, secrets, release dates, box art, reviews...

Haha reviews

Game FA Qs is already notorious for its many Fora, the userbase of which is known to consist primarily of Trolls, idiots, console soldiers, and people too lazy to read the FAQs the damn site is named for. But that wouldn't be enough, for there is a second cesspit of hatred and lies on this otherwise awesome website - the reviews section, where users are allowed to give their opinions on a given game or system.

Maybe you've come across that one review on that one game, and something seems a little off. That is, you can't understand where the reviewer is coming from, or his spelling sucks, or maybe he didn't even play the damn game. I, Ephraim225, am here to expose the worst, most incomprehensible, unreadable, and possibly painful Game FA Qs reviews you have ever had the misfortune of hearing about.

Now, don't get me wrong, we all have opinions. Mine might be different, that's just life etc. etc....but hear me out. I've seen Game FA Qs users write good reviews before. I've seen reviews that I don't agree with but are well-written. We're here to find the reviews that will make you let out a Flat "What", among other unexpected expected reactions.

Ah yes. Psycho Penguin. Quite the big shot on the Game Faqs review front. When I wrote that comment, I had not seen his reviews for years. Looking back, that was my idiot phase. I just paid attention to him because his reviews were elaborate. (A good reviewer is Vegita. His reviews on the Virtual Boy, Gauntlet 64 and Hylide are actually very funny) He flip flops quite a bit on how elaborate his reviews are though. His Chrono Cross review is something to behold. I really want to see you do his Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 reviews (3/10 and 1/10 respectively).

Indeed, that would be fun.

Wow... this can barely even be called a review.

.

That aside, how do you do that quoting thingy with the blue-grey slightly indented text?

@Emperordaein: I saw the Chrono Cross review. Now I really want to play that game just to see if he's shitting me or not. I bet he is.

@Sabbo: Use [[quoteblock]] and [[/quoteblock]] for quote blocks.

^^That's or you could read Let's Play Chrono Cross on the LP Archive. Where The Dark Id manages to give the game a much more reasonable overview. Although some of Psycho Penguin's complaints were valid.

Thanks.

Relatedly, you can use [==] to show wiki markup without the need for spaces and whatnot.

You're welcome. And I found the edit button. You need to be viewing all the comments at once to see it, for some reason. i.e. This link

Honestly, I'm more upset by the fact that he hates on Super Mario Advance, which was a remake of SMB 2. A remake drastically superior in every way to the original. I seriously don't know what there is to not like about that game.
