Games: we need a help area - Blu-ray Forum

phelps · 12-04-2007, 01:39 PM

I was just thinking that in the games section, it would be helpful to have a forum just for help on games. (i.e. if some one needs help navagating an area or cheat codes) It could probably help people who couldn't find an already posted question.

What to Y'all think?

There's always the megathreads for each game, and failing that, there's plenty of places like GameFAQs to get information. A simple Google search will typically turn up frequently asked questions on any game as well.

I agree that the other sites can help, but I got stuck on uncharted and the best help I could get was on this site. It is a little time consuming to look on the megathreads for help with most of the conversation going to "This game is awesome" or "this game sucks" conversations. I just thought a little area here would be nice and keep a lot of gamers going elsewhere for help.

I would support a generic Help section, like a tech support type thing, as long as people understand it is only other users and not necessarily professionals giving this advice.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Sounds fun to have an area for people to discuss any tips and tricks that they've found while playing a game. Like in Resistance, I never knew that you could pause the rocket laucher bullet in mid-air and then have that main bullet spray out a ton of mini-rockets in all directions until I stumbled upon a youtube video by chance.

It also could prevent spoiling-information from appearing in the megathread, which someone might read by accident. It also might be more convenient. It's like a shopping mall. Get everything you need in one spot rather than going from a store in one location and then having to go to another store to get something else. Everything will be brought under one roof.

PS, Resistance is probably my most replayed game on the PS3. It's fun to mess around with different weapons for each playthrough. Next up would probably be GRAW2 because it's so short, and I always want to see if I can do better the next time around. Or is it Ninja Gaiden Sigma? But Ratchet & Clank and Uncharted are rivaling all of them right now in replay value. I just love the exploration and feeling of adventure in Ratcher and Uncharted.

I'm not convinced the single games forum isn't enough to cope with everything at the moment. Once you start splitting things off to sub-forums people don't bother to view them and miss stuff/post duplicate threads. More than usual at least.

Thats cool. It was only a suggestion. BTW though I did get some great help here on uncharted. The game sites did not help at all. Thanks to those who replied when I asked.

Fortunately many of us know the game like the backs of our hands now.
