    Hi!

    Could you give us more information what you mean in this case? By status do you mean adding a new one along side Alpha, Beta, Early Access, Cancelled etc..?

    If so how would you define Dropped, it sounds like it would be similar to cancelled, as in the development has been in definitely put on hold.

    Thanks!

  2. Add Wikidata item related to the game. Wikidata links to IGDB and this could be a way for IGDB to link back to Wikidata.

  3. Many games have chapters, which could be listed here potentially alongside a time to beat for each chapter since games can have 30 minute chapters or 2 hour chapters. This would help people get general ideas of where they are in the game, or simply compare playtime by chapter.

  5. This is only a minor pet-peeve and super conditional, but there are times when Titles with the same name are released in the same year. This makes it fairly difficult to differentiate titles from each other when you are adding titles into various lists in the Edit menus. (Bundled Games, Versions, etc.) Most of the time you will see a year of the release in these menus, but there are examples of different versions released in the same year.

    I will sometimes add the platform to the title of a game to help this, but this isn't the cleanest look…

  6. Now that twitch has the "view on IGDB" feature, the reverse of it will be really useful for both game devs as well as contributors. It will also help in finding if there is any issue in the one-to-one mapping.

  7. I noticed through advanced search a large number of games have tags to fit the year they were released, however a manual system creates some holes in that example and more uncommon titles don't have the tag. It would benefit much more to give a game the proper tag via the accepted change itself once it's release date is given/edited.

  8. When I'm on a game's page give me the option to add the game to 1 of 3 lists that sites like MyAnimeList have by default.
    Per example let me choose between "Playing", "Dropped" or "Completed".
    You can give it different names of course and I know I can create these 3 lists on my own, just thought it would be a nice feature to have by default.

  9. DLsite is a major source for doujinsoft publishing, many games are available there that are not available on Steam. Many circles on DLsite lack significant English language information/websites, so providing a link to DLSite is sometimes the most an English speaker can use for a source

  10. If there is a lot of validation history, it is difficult to move the history. For example, we want to check the validation on the second page to see the previous (or later) content, but it goes back to the first page.

    It is useful to have a click button for "previous/next" to move easily between histories (not only page).

  12. I would really love to see if you could find a way to let us search games by igdb id.
    That would help to find the correct game if the name is taken my multiple games.

    If this is the wrong place to request this, please feel free to delete it again.

  13. Can we have a little mini game where we get to see thumbnails of the channels we follow and see if we can correctly identify them all?

  14. Have a section where two random games are shown (can be filtered by systems owned) where users choose which of the two games they prefer (or specify if they haven't played one/both). Gradually a ranking of games is created as games compete against each other, automatically generating that player's "Top ***" or favorite games. This is very similar to how Flickchart.com works.

  15. Please add howlongtobeat.com website just like you did with Steam and others. This would be very useful.

    Thank you!

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. It would be cool if the date the game was published was also in the game info card, next to the little text blurb summary.
