General / Re: The VGC List o' Badges

As I read more and more of the interesting badges that people are coming up with it makes me want Matt to focus on re-implementing those instead of working on other much more important things, lol....

General / Re: What do you define as shovel-ware on a console?

« on: May 16, 2014, 02:00:38 pm »

I think shovelware applies to very low budget titles of universally agreed upon poor quality that are clearly existing to cash in on uninformed purchasers....

I agree with the separation options, but I'd rather expand the idea....  I believe it would be beneficial to actually expand nearly everything on the stats page to be honest....  Once badges make a comeback, the stats applying to each badge should be listed underneath....  I.E. - I have 5132 edits listed under the "5000 edits" badge to track progress towards the next level....  Also, I'd be interested in having a line graph on the page to track time vs number of items added to collection in order to track the rate of growth of my collection....  Though I realize the graph would be a tedious addition, I feel that the page could use some growth....

I'd be interested in a few related options too....  like sorting by system or release date when you search a title....  Some franchises return quite a few hits and maybe a title you are unfamiliar with might be easier to find by other sorting options....

This should be a fairly simple feature to implement that would not make a significant change in any negative way for existing users who don't care....  I'm on board....

Yeah those need to be added. As far as when gen would change, that would probably be a fitting answer or at least when Wal-Mart/Best buy stop carrying them.

The only issue I have with that is they will carry stuff until it sells....  I saw gamecube games at a walmart even this past holiday season near me still....  Granted they were crap....  Gamestop will run there buy 2 get 1, and buy 1 get 1 subsequently then shift all stock to a few specific stores until it is all gone....  So the majority of locations will clear out all of their stuff in the same week....  This makes it easier to judge a specific time when it is "Dead" as a current platform....  Also, right after Gamestop ceases carrying a platform is when, traditionally, the prices for rarer games on said console start to rise....  I remember the holiday season when Gamecube games all basically doubled due to that....

Hey Tom, Welcome to VGC!

Yeah, this really should be made easier to find & stand-out more for new members.

This should help ya' out a bit

True enough, I had to search a bit to find it myself....  I think there should be a link on the "Submit New Item - Step 1" page in red so it can't be missed....

I suppose it is about time 3DS, XBone, PS4, and WiiU were added....  On a related note, when does one drop last gen from the race?  When gamestop decides to stop carrying them~?  That is about a purest answer that I can think of....

This week has been a constant back and forth fight between Infamous Second Son and Lego Marvel on PS4....  Both are struggling to be second place to WoW....  And with the looming 6.0 patch and Warlords of Destruction in the distance I can only imagine that Drakkengard 3 will be the only game I play until then.... 

Ecclesia can be brutal, originally the first time I played it it put me off. But I went back to it a month later and stuck with it. It's a pretty great game.

I love Ecclesia....  I want more traditional Metroidvania games so bad....

they haven't even released the big Zelda title or really even the proper Mario title yet.

Wouldn't that be Super Mario 3D World? Or for the more traditional: New Super Mario U?

I agree with this^  Both of these games are great fully fledged Mario titles....  I enjoyed them both a lot....

Almost done with Infamous Second Son now....  I have been pleasantly surprised by how fun it has been....  I think the best part is that each new set of powers you get sounds completely ridiculous and terrible, but then end up being more awesome than the previous ones....

Without spoilers... How's the story? Is it worth getting a PS4 to play?

The story....  Hmm....  I won't say it is great, but it is solid....  Maybe I find it hard to relate to the main character, but I don't feel like the story was a major focus at all....  He rarely treats his surroundings with much great resolve or passion....  In fact, most of the time I'm under the impression that he just wants to romp around the city rebelling like a 16 year old....  That being said, what is there does hold up....  Minus some of his rather sharp jumpy conclusions that seem out of left field everything fits together....  The narrative is definitely second to gameplay though....

I know it hasn't been announced or anything really, but I am waiting oh so hard for Fallout 4... The day it comes out is the day I get a PS4.

Is it confirmed as a PS4 exclusive?

No, but I know that I'm getting a PS4 whenever I decide to go "next gen" and that game is the game that will make me go out and buy a new console.

A wise decision as it stands now....  Microsoft is still flubbing in marketing, policies, and support fairly heavily right now....  I won't say the Sony is doing phenomenal, but since they're not making serious mistakes and steadily pushing what they are doing right the favor is definitely with them....  I have been tracking my store sales and the numbers have a wide margin....  Keep in mind I only deal in the used market, so take what I say with a grain of salt....  I have no direct observation of any new merchandise....

I managed to sneak in a pre-order for Watchdogs CE for PS4 at Best Buy the other day....  I love how they seem to sell out of theirs so much later than everyone else....
