GameFAQs isn't about the average gamer though. Judging from some of the polls I have seen, it caters to more to the hardcore gamer than the casual gamer. Would a casual gamer be caught dead playing Pokemon for example?
Golden Sun was criticized for having a weak story, and flashy graphics. Having not played the game, I will refrain comment further than that. I take that with a grain of salt though, as I know just as many people who love the game as people who hate it. But then again, I also know lots of people who loved that pile of garbage known as Final Fantasy IX.
