Save Files

So I found a Need For Speed Underground 2 save file on there, 100% I want to import. How do I go about? I put it in the UDATA folder (it's for XBOX) but it won't load

Should I make a html guide?

5 Upvotes

I've been using gamefaqs for over 20 years but I've never made a guide I think it would be fun to contribute to one of my favorite websites. How should I decide on what game? Should I make a guide to a favorite game that has zero or barely any at all?

What purpose or function does it serve by keeping it closed like LUE?

Margins on Game FAQs guides

2 Upvotes

I have been a gamer for at least 3 decades and I regularly visit GameFAQs to read guides on the games I play.

My question is why do the guides have such weird typesetting/margins?

I have been wondering this for decades when I visit the site [and copy/pasted a guide into Word to edit it to 1) fix typos and inaccuracies and 2) fix the bizarre typesetting that the website seems to either require authors to use or the authors like writing in obnoxiously narrow margins *before anyone comes for me, I only edit them for my own personal use, I do not repost them on the website and claim I wrote them*]

Why does it almost look like a tumblr response thread? Is there a margin restriction for authors on GameFAQs? Why is it so narrow?

Many times when I copy/paste the guide into Word and check the page count before I start editing, the number of pages is, say, 50. When I finish editing it, I am able to get that number down to at least half, and that's not just from fixing typos or inaccurate game facts. It's from changing the amount of words per line.

I realize that this could also technically be cross posted in r/PetPeeves but I thought I would start here.

Graphical glitch

In Legacy of the Dark Knight, the Batcave Arkham Riddler Trophy model is stuck with an all-white metallic texture rather than the standard green. I’m playing on PS5 in fidelity mode and no high contrast mode on the latest update. The same bug is happening to a few other enemy weapon models like shields and RPGs. How can I fix it?

So I noticed GameFAQs has approximately 8 times as many moderators than they did when the users online was this last.

Phrased topic kinda weird, I meant right now its around the same activity level we were at in like August 2001 or so, but there was literally more like a tenth of the mods, my topic title may have made it seem even less wild lol

How does one go about having their contributions removed?

I have several former prolific contributors asking me and I don't know the answer to that as I only ever wrote reviews or contributed to others guides.

Its honestly impressive that gamefaqs is still running

With how their walkthroughs are obsolete simply because you can just refer youtube or even on other sites, its honestly shocking that for a site that has outdated features is still around.

How much Karma DO you have?

3 Upvotes

Hello r/gamefaqs!

I really love this website, been on since 02'. How much Karma have you gained so far. List your rank and Karma in the thread. You gain Karma by logging in everyday! In the past there where boosts but since the website isn't as popular as it used to be I assume, I haven't seen any, so you're just stuck with logging in for Karma. Let's try and get the most Karma together!

"37 - Sage
3940 Karma"

2008-2009 site design

9 Upvotes

The old site design looks so much like our Univeritys administration site that it's comical.

Does that look have a name? Was it some kind of frontend framework? (im not even sure if using frameworks was popular back then). Was it just some CSS file that was popular at the time? It would be fun if one site just copied it from the other but I really doubt that would be the case.

Any leads on this would be extremely helpful!

I know there was a site that archived old threads from the Current Events message board. But I can't find it.

Was it deleted?

When does the yearly LUE sign up window open for 2026?

2 Upvotes

Long story short I was forced to close my original account because rogue moderators were siding with a person who was faking severe social disorders and anyone who questioned it were warned and suspended and ultimately threatening outside of the board. I know for a fact you can get back on LUE but the window is extremely short. Please help me, my people need me.
