Title: Add another tab for games played/completed?
Post by: dreama1 on September 05, 2015, 04:58:22 pm
Add another tab for games played/completed? With a score rating system out of 5 across all boards. community reviews would be nice as well.

I was thinking the other day that a checkbox or someway to indicate which games we have completed would be nice.

I already kind of do this. Collection is games that I currently own, wishlist is games that I previously owned, sell list is games that I have never owned but have played legally.

Matt once said that there are few fields because he felt like adding too many would make it feel like filling out a form to add a game to one's collection, and people wouldn't want to use the site if it felt like a chore. Since we have many requests for such specific fields, it would indeed become much like a long form to fill out.

However, while I agree with him, it seems like new fields are requested regularly, I guess it would be worth it to try and find a way to add more possibilities without cluttering the space. I can't promise anything, but I'll add it to a list of things to take a look at.

Under every game in my collection I put whether it's unfinished/beat/completed in the notes... it isn't exactly elegant, but at least you can do that to keep track of things for now.

I think it's a good idea, but I think that's what sets this site apart from backloggery, if you've beaten the game, just put a special character in the notes and put your personal rating like: Rating: 4/5 or however you want to. That's why I think the notes section is great, you can put anything you want in it.

One solution that I think would work would be an option to make custom lists in addition to wish list and sell list. That way people can make their own "finished" list, "dupe" list, "pre-ordered" or "finished" list or whatever they want to title it  :)

That's a pretty good idea, but I have no idea how hard it'd be to implement. Having done some web design before, I don't know if that's feasible to be done quickly.
