How it works:
  • Choose a relevant category for your idea and check to see if any other users have already submitted this suggestion before creating your own
  • Be clear with your suggestion, provide examples and solutions to the problem you are posing. Suggestions without actionable feedback may be closed without comment
  • Upvote existing ideas, as opposed to creating multiple similar requests
  • Be sure to share your suggestion with others to gain more support!
  • Note: Suggestions are not guarantees that we will take action on an idea. We will try our best to communicate why an idea may not work, but may not always be able to share that information.
  • Titles that are unclear or unnecessarily vulgar may be reworded to better reflect the request for ease of discovery

  2. Like Steam offers, there should be localized posters. Chinese posters, for example, will often have a completely different name and/or different brand logo.

  3. Game revisions (like Alpha, Beta,1.0,1.1,1.2,2.0, etc) would be good for reviews, because the game can change since someone reviewed the game. Even old games have revision (Rev 1, Rev 2, like in the No-Intro notation). It is not a particularly needed data point, but some games change a lot with time.

  4. At times editors can realize an important bit of information was missed or forgotten after selecting Update Game. If the editor selects Edit again before their previous update has been approved. Several parts of the update appear to inconsistently display the recently entered data, while others do not. Many of these edits also will not change, even if re-edited prior to an Approval being confirmed by Admins.

    Examples:
    - Franchises do not save
    - Removing Platforms from various Release Dates, Companies and Age Ratings do not save
    - Removed Companies continue to display
    - Previously added Multiplayer Modes do not…

  5. There are alot of titles that seem to list multiple divisions as publishing arms for each region. While this can make sense for Developers like Ubisoft Montreal or Shanghai that are responsible for the creation of the game, it makes less sense for Publishers that serve as regional PR wings.

    Ex. "Sega" vs Sega of Japan, Sega of America, Sega of Europe.

  6. A list of mods could be shown as toggable to not mess with the layout of the page, since some games have an extensive mod library (I'm looking at you Super Mario World and Super Mario 64).

  8. There is the coming soon section which can be filter by platform but there is no way that I can find to see if there are upcoming games for a specific genre. Having the feature will be a nice way to discover upcoming games of a specific genre a person might like which they are not aware of.

    Easiest solution I can think of is in advanced search it would be nice if there was a field for "not released" or "coming soon" in the years section. Any game which is not cancelled and is not less than or equal…

  9. Top 10 games, Just Chatting, new AAA game launches, and special events get enough coverage via their massive audience. One of the suggestions from creators in terms of discoverability is to stream lesser known games to lessen competition.

    My suggestion is to add a shelf that compiles all directories that are sub 200 viewers into a single shelf on front page to allow visibility to lesser known titles. This could allow groupings of smaller creators to showcase games, collaborate, and be recognized without feeling the need to always play the top 10 games to reach the ceiling of viewership.

  12. The game Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee critic score rating show the highest score on your entire system of 10.0 points: https://www.igdb.com/games/oddworld-abe-s-oddysee , but it has not professional background report like on the rest of games: https://www.igdb.com/games/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt/reviews.

    I though that somehow the game got that critic score as some kind of bug probably?

    This make it appear the first game on the lists that use the API to make lists and filter the games per score.

  13. If you include the 'search' option in the multiquery, only the id fields are returned in the results. For example the following query
    query games "game" {
    fields name;
    search "gta";
    };
    Will return an array of games but will only include the id field

  14. From what I understand and experienced getting your changes approved on IGDB can take anywhere between 4 to 14 days, not longer. It would be good if there was a page that showed a list of changes currently waiting for approval from IGDB Admin so you could see where your changes were in the pipeline. I saw on the Discord that an announcement said that a week ago or so the oldest changes to be approved were about 14 days old. Keeping this list in public gives us an estimate on when our edits will be reviewed.

  15. Hi,

    I'm looking to filter games by their media (either digital or physical) but I have an issue with media response which is always empty.

    Here is an example:

    https://api.igdb.com/v4/external_games

    -with body : fields countries, category, media; where game = 1187;

    -response :

    [
    {
    "id": 145250,
    "category": 3
    },
    {
    "id": 245373,
    "category": 14
    },
    {
    "id": 1998977,
    "category": 14
    }
    ]

    Category enum is working but there is no response for Media Enum = 1 or 2...

    Is this normal?

    Thanks for your answer and have a nice day!

  16. Hi,
    On the platforms page "https://www.igdb.com/platforms" and when querying the API for the base platform, the platform logo for the base "Nintendo 64 (Platform)" is currently by default the iQue image "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_cover_small/pl78.png" Shouldn't this image actually be the base platform image i.e. the N64 image "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_logo_med/pl77.png" the same image that is displayed when visiting that platforms main platform web page "https://www.igdb.com/platforms/n64"?

    In summary please can we change the base N64 platform image in the following areas:
    API - Platforms
    Platforms Web Page - https://www.igdb.com/platforms
    from:
    https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_logo_med/pl78.png (i.e. pl78.png)
    To:
    https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_logo_med/pl77.png (i.e. pl77.png)

  17. I looked in the API documentation, but didn't see this. If I'm mistaken, please point me in the right direction!

    A create game endpoint would streamline the game submission process. This would help with smaller indie web-based, browser games.

  18. Hi,
    We should be able to indicate the language of the review, when we write a new one.
    And the page of the game (https://www.igdb.com/games/***/reviews), we should be able to filter reviews throught a language list.
    Default value should be define on the profile, wich could be reuse on both situations (writing, filtering)
    Thanks !

  19. Hi,

    On the profile (https://www.igdb.com/users/***) the lists order should be : Want > Playing > Played, like everywhere in the site, instead of the present order : Played > Playing > Want

    Reviewed and rated lists should be on the second line than on the first one too, for a better user interface experience.

    Thanks !

  20. On IGDB lists, sub status should remain updatable from the list view, even if the game is on a personal list.
    I don't know if it's a bug or a feature (if so, should be explain somewhere).
    Thank you !
