FFHannibal Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I applaud all the people who write (and read) guides on a regular basis . I've been busy with my measly 12 trophies and I think I've gotten a good 4 hours of work in already, replaying and replaying to get all the info about the game. Rewriting and rewording my descriptions, etc. It's a lot more work than I though it would be, but I'm liking it more and more... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) I just signed up yesterday but decided to spend some time today on writing the guide since I have a day off and I actually just published my guide to the guide team . So now I'm awaiting review from the guide team before it can finally (hopefully ) be published. It is actually pretty fun to write a guide even though it takes a lot of your time Edited June 30, 2016 by LucasV9991 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MStalker58 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) Until then... The thread unlocked - Likeable (a post reached 10 or more likes!) *Trophy music noise yay!* Woohoo! Think my like pushed us over the trophy requirement. You're welcome thread. I've kind of wanted to try writing a guide for a while now, but have never done it because I know there's someone out there that knows a game more and could write a guide much better than I could. This thread might motivate me to finally give it a try. Looking through my most recent completed games without a guide, I could do one for either Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 or SSX. I'm thinking of doing BCR2 since it might be better to go with a shorter game for my first guide attempt. I've been rather busy in RL lately and with several other forum events going on, it might take me a little while but I'll try to find some time to work on it soon. I probably should go read some of these threads about creating guides, since I have several questions. Edited June 30, 2016 by MStalker58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good work, I hope your guide gets published. Let me know when it does! Writing a guide is oddly very fun, but I do agree it does take up a but of time.

Remember that our guide team is just a message away. Pretty sure they aren't ever busy Edit: I would like everyone to know that you can write as many guides as you would like during this event. We will need every guide we can get to achieve that Platinum! Edited June 30, 2016 by NerdRage04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Oh wow that was fast! Thanks! Oh lol, that might be because I misspelled it once, then copied that part of the sentence and pasted it somewhere else multiple times or just because I'm dumb Approved!

Writing a guide is oddly very fun, but I do agree it does take up a but of time. Well here it is. As you can see my guide got approved a few minutes ago Approved! Nicely done, just had some spelling errors like "opponent" and "choosing" being spelled wrong a few times I see you also updated the header image of the game btw. Nice job!

CypherNova139 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) Do I list guides that I've already already published before this event started / before joining this event?

FFHannibal Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Well here it is. As you can see my guide got approved a few minutes ago Nice! I took a look at your guide and I must say it looks very good Sadly I don't have the game, so I won't be able to make use of it (but maybe I might one day?). I did a bit more rewriting and with the first guide already published I'm a little tempted to publish mine and await judgement . But I think I'm going to sleep on it one more time and do a final proofread tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xZoneHunter Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Well you can sign me up. Currently busy with a guide. Not sure if i'm going to finish it, but i guess i might sign up anyway since i do write the odd guide once in a while. Guide i'm currently busy on, ZTD puzzle solutions guide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 And I thought my 5 proofreads for my already published guides were over kill... Not at all, that just means you got rid of most mistakes yourself and saved the Guide Team some time, which we appreciate . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFHannibal Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 And I thought my 5 proofreads for my already published guides were over kill... I'm always double and triple checking everything I do and I don't really like leaving any stupid mistakes for other people to see . Plus it's been quite a while since I've had to write anything comprehensible in English and I'd like it to be of at least a little quality.

MStalker58 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Wasn't in the mood to play much today, so I decided to start working on my 1st guide. Decided to make one for Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 and have added some of the basics and finished a couple of the specific trophy descriptions so far. Also added my first video and learned how to tag trophies and all that. Might take a while since I'm planning on doing a detailed collectible portion of the guide, but at least I've started on it. Please add me to the participants list in the OP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
