Sounds about right! I think the gaming guides should be made by the programmers! In some cases they're the only ones that know the complete breakdown of how a game works, (see the DF no armor issue!) That PSII hintbook that game with the original Genesis game was filled with inaccuracies. So many name problems and focusing on minute issues! Give me the combat formulas!!
Fan FAQs are always better because we look at things in more depth and have all the time in the world to do it. We get it done right!
Indeed!
