I had this happen to me real bad a few months ago when I played Spartan Total Warrior. There's a part where you're in some castle and you get locked in a pit with infinitely respawning zombies that you have to fight until the door open for you, and I couldn't figure out what the fuck the trigger to the door opening was. The FAQ I found didn't even mention that part it was literally just "continue to the next area"

Literally the most uselessly autistic fucking thing ever. What a waste of fucking time.
I guess you need to be autistic to write guides in the first place - especially back then, when it's just you doing good for free, but it takes a whole nother level of autism to actually type out an ascii picture of the logo just so there's some visual to look at.

>> No.8508983

>>8504065
I'll agree with this one. I don't need guides to beat games cause I'm a grownup, but sometimes it's nice to read all the obscure details about a thing. If you're going to write, then write.

a whole nother level... of caring
if a guy actually cares about a game enough to spend an afternoon designing an ascii logo for it, i can rest assured he's probably going to have every little trivial detail about it i'll ever need in his faq. it's a mark of quality
