Modern Video Games / team foretress 2 RETAIL???

« on: June 24, 2013, 10:49:11 am »

i understand people who bought it retail before the download version came out, but why buy the retail version THESE DAYS
the download version is absolutely free and no discount can get you to pay less than a cds weight in aluminium + box weight in plastic and manual weight in shiny paper + 0.01$
so i am just asking how can you justify buying the retail version
maybe there is some secret reason i don't know about

why would you buy the retail version if you own new super mario bros. U and get the download version for 20$ instead of 30$

you can also add old console advances and peripherals
such as
32X CD games
arcade card (PC engine)
turbo duo
and Aladdin deck enhancer (nes) and dettaku (famicom)
but that is only if you want your site to be awesome

Um.

32X CD games are already in the database (as Sega CD games.)
Arcade Card should probably be under http://vgcollect.com/browse/tg16pceaccessory
Turbo Duo is listed under TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine hardware. http://vgcollect.com/browse/tg16pcehardware
Aladdin Deck Enhancer: http://vgcollect.com/item/21383

... and I have no idea what that... Dettaku is?

for 32X cd games it is hard to know if to put them in 32x or sega cd
for the arcade card and turbo duo i meant GAMES only compatible with arcade card or turbo duo (games that require more ram such as dynastic heroes only compatible with turbo duo)
also i meant aladdin deck enhancer GAMES
dettaku is the Japanese Aladdin deck enhancer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datach
but i guess everything can go into different catagories (nes, famicom, sega cd, turbografxcd) and it isn't worth the fuss

but why the wii and 3ds VC are seprate but wii U isn't
and i still think you can add one section for DLC and onlive
and i really think 1 section for DLC on all consoles will really help the site
but why not just add an option for adding consoles

if it isn't a fuss
you can add
DLC separately
wii U virutal console
smartphones games and accesories (not that there are many insteresting games on there)
onlive, OUYA and gamestick
and maybe add an option to add consoles becuase i cannot  figure out very well how to use this fourm

Site Feedback / when do free games count

« on: June 12, 2013, 08:03:31 am »

free games do not have collector value
but some are in vgcollect and some arn't
when do they count
becuase some games such as
team foretress 2
super crate box
and realm of the mad god all are in the site
but games like
narbacular drop
spelunky (PC)
and mighty jill off arn't
i think non should be in the site becuase of so much of them and that everyone can have them

Classic Video Games / people help complete the magnavox odyssey section

« on: June 02, 2013, 07:42:13 am »

if you go to browse and click magnavox odyssey [NA] you will see there are no games
but plenty of boxed games which included new overlays game aids and instuction manuals (and even new carts) have been made
so if you want you can complete the magnavox odyssey boxed game section
just so the site will be awesome
but it is hard to find pictures

so if you want you can complete the boxed game section

Site Feedback / erasing games

« on: May 24, 2013, 09:47:02 am »

why won't you add an erase feature
the notification will be sent to the programmer of the site
for example to erase this thing 43422
and if it is in people's collection
send them a replacement to add to collection
like item 36320
seems like a good idea

1. i don't know what a today button is so i cannot comment on that

2. it would be hard to implement rarity, first you cannot easily rate a game's rarity and people can have diffrent scales, i can say SMB + DH for nintendo can be rated by me as 90 but as someone else as 100

3. if you mean organizing your collection by groups, it would be a wonderful feature

where is the smartphone section (or tablet)
i don't own a smartphone but i think if PC is here then smartphones should be here
and there are also smartphone controllers to add as accesories

Site Feedback / 3DS virtual console and more stuff

« on: April 21, 2013, 09:11:53 am »

i have a few problems with the database
1. there is a category for 3DS virtual console games and a category for 3DS e shop games, but some 3DS VC games say they are e shop games and i know it doesn't sound like a problem but i like my games categorized
2. there is no category for smartphone games, well i don't really like smartphone games, but i still think these games should be here, i know smartphones aren't gaming systems, but neither are personal computers
3. there are wrong virtual console pictures, well i don't like NES boxart on VC games, i have a tip, go to http://www.nintendo.com/games search for the game name and there are pictures ready to copy, hope i helped increase the database's reliability
anyway i think that is it don't hate the site, it is just stuff that should be improved, hope someone will help
