Sounds good, hopefully this will increase the amount of entries coming in!

We've added a new feature to the site to allow users (whether registered members or not) to request game cheats and/or FAQs. The system works as follows:

The general idea here is to help members focus on cheats and faqs that are most desired by users. Like most new features, I consider this a 'work-in-progress' and will likely field many requests for enhancements and changes to the system as well as bug reports - this is the thread to tell me so!!! :)

Happy cheating!!

Say I don't want a full FAQ.  Maybe I just want to figure why I keep playing the 8-X stages of Warriors Orochi and still can't unlock Lu Bu.  I don't need a full-blown walkthrough or the like but rather just an answer to that one question.  How do I get that from vgChartz?

Gamefaqs solves these kinds of dilemmas with its Question/Answer section which lets you ask a question and people answer it.  Will vgChartz have something comparable in the future?



Thanks Talon. No need of a kind code!

Well, that's kind of how our FAQ section works - apparently, we've done a poor job in getting word of this out to you all as I continually see people who are unfamiliar with how our FAQ works.

The FAQ is a simple 'one question' function with a series of hints available for solving the question. The hints are to be progressively more helpful until the final solution is given. So, for your example, you'd put in a request for a FAQ, and your question of 'How do I unlock Lu Bu?' - hopefully, somebody will put a FAQ together for this particular question with about 3-5 hints to help nudge you along until you give up and want the final answer...

I don't really know anything about the game stuff vgChartz has going on. 

Here are some thoughts after glancing over it:

Why is there only developer?  Gamefaqs lists both the developer and the publishers for each region/time period.  Gamefaqs also makes them all linkable so I can easily go see what XYZ has created.

How does the system handle ports?  I mean, if I write an FAQ for Warriors Orochi on how to unlock characters then do I need to submit it for every single version?  This is one problem gamefaqs has in that the PS2 version will have a few FAQs, the Xbox version will have a few FAQs, and the PC version will have a few FAQs.  It would be nice to see them all on one screen.  Maybe in the FAQs section have a header underneath the main ones that says "FAQs for other versions" and have it aggregate those.

What are "Extras?"  Seriously, what are they?  Summary, Reviews, Screens, FAQs, and Cheats all make sense to me.  I know at a glance what I will likely find in those sections.  I have no idea what should go in Extras or why I would go there.

Where is the "Need help" section?  I just had to go reread your instructions because it's not in the same area that the rest of the stuff is.  You can train your users to use any kind of website but intuitive placement will help new users greatly.



Wow, that's kind of cool.

I saw the cheat request message (Night at the Museum, the hell?) and didn't know what was going on at first. :-p

Me neither. I thought I accidently got DB Admin powers.

All the power without the special username colour is something I do not want!

Anyway this is going to drive me nuts because I always make a habit of clearing my messages etc straight away. I wish it was in a different colour or clearable.



Tease.

you got me all excited.. I thought I was being made a DB admin, or maybe I got all the DB admin powers in a glitch of some sort

For faqs do you need to write your own one, or can you bring up someone elses?

Could we at least get a way to remove the requests we can't/won't do anything about?

I don't have Night at the Museum, and I'm not going to go to GameFAQ to help this person out
