| Mirson said: I took about a year break (maybe more) from VGChartz, and joined other forums like Neogaf and GameSpot. At Neogaf, you can actually have a good discussion about anything, as well as GameSpot (before the redesign). The GameSpot redesign is mainly the reason why I'm back here. This site has definitely lost its charm, and it gets repetitive & boring very fast - not to mention the amount of fanboy/doom threads filling up the front page. I avoid them altogether, but it doesn't send a good message to potential newcomers. Also even when a decent discussion is going on, it ultimately gets derailed. One of the big things I disliked about VGChartz was the removal of the database; improving the game's pages gave me something to do while browsing the forum. Without it, I got bored of the forums incredibly fast. Separating gamrreview and removing gamrfeed are also a few things I disliked as they would also keep me occupied while I waited for more forum posts. The site feels very stripped back now since there's less content. Also those redundant nation threads take away some of the forum activity since most of the video game news get posted there. Why have a PlayStation only thread when we have a Sony forum? Same with Nintendo & MS. They're cramming one entire subforum into a single thread. Anyways with that said, I would post a little bit more if there was a mobile version; posting via a smartphone sucks, so I have to wait until I get home and turn on my computer. |
good points and i agree the mods should cut those threads,i prefer the time when indivdual threads were made for all that stuff,i think it gets discussed from time to time and i also wish we had better game collection tools/page/display
also i have lurked since early 08 and we need to bust the myth that it is just a sony fanboys site,mine eyes do not deceive me
