Is there any information about this that’s not a video?
I've caught myself thinking this a lot, game guides, reviews, everything was so much easier digging around in when it was written. Now we have to sit and fuck around with timestamps and waste time instead of just ctrl + f what I need.
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
