  1. I'm using the search endpoint to return game data including cover urls, then load those into HTML <img> tags with the src attribute. It has worked for quite a while, but just today I noticed that I'm getting 403s for all of the cover images.

    I posted a screenshot in the Discord #bug-reports channel.

  3. If you select the category for your game it only shows the old Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. I believe it should show both the old game and the remaster which is called "Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles - Remastered Edition"

    Hope I came to the right place as I couldn't find anything for this topic on the Twitch Support page.

  4. Was rating some old Nintendo 64 games: Yoshi's Story, Killer Instinct Gold, etc. and they weren't saving after refresh of page or restarting computer.

    Was using chrome so decided to try Firefox and that worked (ratings saved).

    When I return to chrome it now shows my rating but if I try to change it - it defaults back to the rating done in firefox when I refresh the page.

  5. Right now character data is linked to their respective voice actors, which is linked to the game credits, the thing is game credits is a feature quite forgotten at this point, and also not all characters have voice actors, would be possible to make us link and create character data for each game without needing to add the game's whole credits?

    Something like a new "Characters" section in a game page.
    And being able to create and link characters entries in games.

    Something like this:

  6. I'd like to add a stream category for Megaman X Legacy Collection as part of gaming category since there is no listing for it. We usually have a few mega man x fans who would like to see this category added to find those who will stream the game.

  7. I think IGDB should borrow the "All DLC page" from Steam.

    So, on a page that has lots of DLC, say

    Snowrunner - https://www.igdb.com/games/snowrunner (12 DLC)
    or
    Euro Truck Sim 2 - https://www.igdb.com/games/euro-truck-simulator-2 (11 DLC)

    A page should be added say https://www.igdb.com/games/euro-truck-simulator-2/dlc

    Which has a layout simial to https://store.steampowered.com/dlc/1465360/SnowRunner/#browse

    So a vertical list of all the DLC's with the box art and the summary (maybe the website links along side)

    Then you can more easily see all the DLC without having to use the arrows to navigate the list.

    This can also help karma hunters to easily revise/update data on…

  9. An option to add owned games and when you add a bundle their games are added to the list of owned games. Games should have a subcategory in the list preview for DLC's and extras, not a game entity. This would make a list readable for the user.

  10. Add fields for external video game database ids. This would be helpful for developers to pull additional data from other databases.

    Take for example, platforms. Each platform has an ID on other databases (screenscraper, mobygames, thegamesdb, launchbox). Same for games.

    The field should allow a list entry as one game on IGDB might be multiple ids on a different database if they don't combine games from different platforms into a single entry like IGDB does.

  11. Currently under "Release Dates", users need to hover over the platform name to see other release dates in other regions. It would be an improvement to list all the dates and regions without the need to hover, so you can see the info at a glance. Additionally it would be nice if listed in historical order.

  12. Right now is only possible to set a game as a remake of a single game, due to this games like the 'Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy'are set as a bundle of the PS1 trilogy instead of a remake of the trilogy.

    The same problem happens with games like 'Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei I-II' which is a remake of Megami Tensei 1 & 2, but due to this is only set as a remake of the first Megami Tensei.

  13. It's sometimes useful to note things down for private use (like why you added a game to the wishlist), that wouldn't fit into the review section.

    This could be either in list view or game view.

  15. Currently only seven classification systems are supported, even though this may cover a "majority" of Classification Systems around the world, at least six classification systems are missing out and some are important to several cultures strict guidelines and customs,

    Hi and thank you for your suggestion. These would be interesting to add in the future, but before we do that we want to make sure that we have a good coverage of the ratings that we recently added. After that, we can look into adding more. Thank you!

  16. Make the rating stars on the game page visible from the game's position on a list so that it can be rated without having to open a new page for every single game.

    Here's a mock-up in list view:
    https://imgur.com/a/W80TFQU

    For grid view, a similar approach to letterboxd's database could be taken:
    https://imgur.com/a/tsu3JO6

    This website has a much more robust database than IMDB, but it has a huge disadvantage in how much slower it is to make ratings.

    Having to go to each games individual page to make a rating is extremely tedious, especially for new database users who have…

  17. Allow fetching detail rating breakdowns; ie the data that drives the below image on the website;

    https://www.igdb.com/games/horizon-zero-dawn-complete-edition/rating_breakdown.svg

    The level of detail presented in the chart is sufficient, ie, number of ratings at each level of ratings, example output below;

    {
    "ratings": [
    {
    "ratingname": "Superb",
    "rating
    count": 10,
    "ratingvalue": 10
    },
    {
    "rating
    name": "Great",
    "ratingcount": 100,
    "rating
    value": 9
    },
    {
    "ratingname": "Good",
    "rating
    count": 1000,
    "ratingvalue": 8
    },
    {
    "rating
    name": "etc",
    "ratingcount": 120,
    "rating
    value": 7
    }
    ]
    }

    Other note: underscores for italic formatting is annoying. :)

  18. ELSPA was the rating system used in EU before the PEGI system replaced it.

    Degrees of ratings can be found here:

    Hey! We have decided that it would be very interesting to have the ELSPA ratings on IGDB and we would like to add it in the near future. We we probably bundle a couple of new age ratings together and add it sometime next year. 

  19. When you filter by alphabetical order or Rating or release date the list is different but the number of pages does not change.
    An example is PS1 since the alphabetical order A - Z page 54 ends up in the letter D and from Z - A page 54 ends up in the S. Which means that games with initials E to R do not appear in alphabetical order however in other orders they appear and others do not Final Fantasy VII appears in the order by Rating but not by Release Date or Alphabetical

  20. Arcade or console games usually have an internal serial
    e.g. http://redump.org/discs/system/naomi/

    And different port of the same game would have its unique serial on different platforms
