Hi.

I like sports games. I'm the real black sheep of the collecting community. Don't fret about your import game fetish.

Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Game Collection series, before or after title?

« on: December 09, 2016, 12:12:33 pm »

I think that any series that has a volume number, such as those listed in my first post, should have the series first and then the game name. For series that do not have a volume number, it should have the game name first and then the series, which we primarily do already.

Gamefaqs also has alot of fake art.

Stock photo is OK if no photo is in the DB. But yes there should be no one-stop-shop for images. If you need to update an image you need to find or take one of the actual item and not replace with a fake or stock/pre-sale image. As in this case, there is clearly a label on the One Piece game that usually is not on a stock photo. That is the one thing I notice at first, to be aware of when looking for a replacement image. Also another thing that is often different in stock/pre-sale is the location or arrangement of the developer/publisher logos.

Found this game in the PS Vita [JP] section.

https://vgcollect.com/item/116063

It's an image of the EU version, but it's in the JP section. Someone has it in their wishlist... shall we merge it with the PS Vita [EU]?

Merged and moved to Vita [EU]

Cool, I'll make a JP entry for the old game. I can't find a better image of the EU artwork that doesn't have PROVISIONAL under the rating. Thanks!

Would you look at that, Gamefaqs has an actual cover instead of a stock photo for a modern game.

My first 2 places I use for artwork are Mobygames and Gamefaqs. Ebay is probably #3 most used.

I like bootleg toys, I would like bootleg games. They have their place in history. I don't think I have any yet tho.

VGCollect for Android / Unable to reach server

« on: December 07, 2016, 12:23:06 pm »

The app finally gave up for me. I opened it and it crashed. So then I closed it and tried again, now it just says "Unable to reach server." I had used it up until yesterday with no problems.

Site Feedback / Re: Need to Keep Signing In

« on: December 07, 2016, 11:37:16 am »

People have said they couldn't log into the app, but no it works for me. I mean, I have not had to log into the app in a long time, and when I open it, I am already logged in. I do not think it is related to login for the site or the forum.

EDIT: regarding logging into the site itself. On computer1, I check the box to remember my login. On computer2 I don't check the box. This results in Computer1 always being logged in, and Computer2 prompting to login. If I check the box to remember on Computer2, then I will be logged out when I visit the site on Computer1.

So I am confused can we or can we not sell bootleg, repro on eBay?

Last night I was going to say that you couldn't sell regardless, but I checked the Ebay restricted and prohibited items page on their help site and couldn't find anything relating to bootleg video games. I recall in the past you couldn't sell bootleg music but I couldn't find that on there either.

The pictures show what it is. Also the seller has 6 feedback... why even bother.

If you sent him that message, that isn't very nice.

This a thing?

It is! But not on PS3. It is Homefront: The Revolution. See here for the delay:

The site itself does not allow concurrent logins from multiple computers. Something I deal with every day, I have to log into the site every time because I use multiple computers to work on the db. The forum is always logged in however.

Revision to what I said before. I mean it works in Chrome (not Firefox) but not always in Palemoon.

Also that screenshot is not the forum crashing. It indicates a connection was reset, and did not finish loading the page resources including images and the CSS.

I have seen some intermittant slowdown issues since the SSL update, mostly on the site proper but not on the forum portion.
