The death of writeups?

New Article!

[p]One thing has struck me over the last few years and oddly enough some BFBC2 beta cup entries were a bit of a reminder. There was a time when forums (mainly gamearena) featured more writeups, back in the good old days most matches came with writeups. These were either insanely long (lol memories of my two pagers which included detailed information about what i was eating/drinking/wearing during the match) or just short writeup saying GG you were too strong etc.[/p][p]I see these pop up in COD results a bit but usually only for things like CGi or event matches but there isnt any real reason why it shouldnt be done for every game. Here is an example of a short one:[/p][p]http://www.cybergamer.com.au/forums/thread/52235/CGi:-BushRangers-vs-vitaL/[/p][p]Here is an exmaple of a long one:[/p][p]http://www.cybergamer.com.au/forums/thread/52279/CGi:-Australian-Universal-Soldiers-vs-Send-for-Roar/[/p][p]I think writeups are key to GG's and GG's mean a more close knit community because as much as we all aim to roll the other team not alot of games are just ezmode and really were alot of fun. So what happened to writeups? i noticed that as banter became more and more commonplace the writeups started to drop off where teams just CBF doing a writeup saying GG as the other team usually features 1-2 members of someone who dedicates there time to trolling you or your team on the forums.[/p][p]There have been some epic writeups over the years with some of them being awesome reads highlighting some of the dumb moments and some of the lol moments which really does making gaming more enjoyable.[/p][p]Be good to go back to the days when GG's were had and we enjoyed the game enough to write a few lines about what happened so the people who were interested in the result can get an idea of what happened wouldnt it?[/p]
