Walkthroughs, should they be allowed on GG?
|
Examples here, those are both from the same source, but this isn't a personal attack. I just think there's a section of Neo set aside for help, tips and walkthroughs already, so should we allow them on GG? Especially since they seem to be turning up more and more.

Not really. WT's don't count as any sort of news in the least. Theres already a FAQ and Walkthrough section on this main site, When i see the top stories clogged up with walkthrus i'll probably reconsider switching to N4G

I don't like them either. Kind of pointless. If a person needs help on a game they will go and search it out on their own, they are not out of the blue going to need help when they see an article. Edit: This should be in the feedback and suggestion forums. Mod Edit: Dec 26, 09 by Linkin Park Fan

Um, you guys do realize that gamegrep isn't just for news. It also has neat things like Pictures, videos, blogs...etc. So yes, I think they could be useful on gamegrep.

I don't want walkthroughs on GameGrep. Yes pictures, blogs, and videos are fine because usually they are something interesting and good or funny or whatever, but we don't need articles that tell us how to get through a game. Neoseeker and a mess of other sites already have that. Besides, what comes after walkthroughs, cheat articles? I'm not saying that they aren't useful but does it really fall under "social news"? If somebody wants help then I say let them actually search on Neo.

I think guides are a neat addition to GG, particularly the video ones. VGB moreso again as they compile sets. If we want to outlaw FAQs due to them being on Neo, sure (although then I'd vouch for more promotion of Neoseeker on GG). But we don't have video guides on there, so I'd prefer to keep letting them through, personally, and I suppose remove both categories, replacing them with a "video walkthrough" category or something. Play ISDF, there is a cheat category too.  We're not so strict with the "social news" label.

I'd rather see more walkthroughs than the ridiculous garbage like "top ten lists" gamegrep is mostly cluttered with. Unfortunately my opinion on the cluttered too many top 10/whatever lists is completely different to the staff and admin team of gamegrep. And as Mods of gamegrep would say "if you don't want to read the article, don't click the article and don't post on it complaining it's on gamegrep". Gamegrep has different categories for those who're interested. This isn't a "we should limit to 3 categories cause these people don't like it". Gamegrep is much of a business as Neo and this is a good way to attract more people to the social site like gamegrep.
Hey I also have an idea, with that line of logic why do we have Video category on Gamegrep? Neoseeker has it, so just use neo for videos. See, when you stop and think of it, gamegrep as a whole is unnecessary with that logic cause neoseeker has the same if not majority of the sections gamegrep does.

To be honest, we already have Walkthroughs on neowikis and on neoseeker itself, so I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed on GameGrep. The problem I see if numerous WGs being uploaded. Also would you only allow User written ones? Net written ones? Or both?

Actually it's not, and we may kill that category/refuse those articles soon, despite ratings. There's a lot of changes being discussed at the moment.

It just seems like needless duplication of functions to me. I'd prefer to see the section section on Neo upgraded and more heavily promoted and walkthroughs redirected there. quote chautemoc

You have to think about it this way, not everyone that access' Neoseeker goes to the NeoWikis and everyone that access' the NeoWikis may not to to Neoseeker. So to people that don't frequent neoseeker or the sister sites, and just want a walkthrough, they can find them in one place or another.

^That's it. We weren't referring to the wikis necessarily though -- there are FAQs/walkthroughs as well.

Yeah, I know. but my slightly OCD nature wants to see them tidied away neatly in one place. Sue me for having a useful mod quality damn you I just naturally want to see things in one category.

I don't see the problem with having guides/walkthroughs. If reviews/previews and esp blogs are OK why not guides?
