A List of Enhancements: So Your Ideas Aren't Forgotten (under construction)

[QUOTE="Cyrax-Sektor"][QUOTE="zeus_gb"]The best feature for anyone would be the ability to add games to the site.zeus_gb

I would assume that the games added would have to be approved by the Gamespot staff or by volunteers.

I know this isn`t much, but could you please give us a link to the board/post/forum where our moderated messages are?

I`ve got my first moderated message, and i want to check the board to understand what happened, but after going through my post history and all my tracked games and other stuff like that, i couldn`t find it :)

On another note: Give an union a chance to change or at least understant what it`s doing wrong before you delete it :)

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I would like to see in the reviews of the games, where it says "difficulty, learning curve, etc" an item like "playing time". I know there are many games where the playing time is very variable but I would like to have an idea about how long will I take to beat a certain game. The playing time is now mentioned in some reviews, so I guess it's something the gamespot reviewers think it's worth to mention.

Tnx and sorry for my english

Your English is fine, and you could always just ask in the forum how long it took people to beat the game

It would be neat if your profile listed the developer you like the most based on your game collection.AuthenticM

It would be interesting, but people might complain saying that it's completely not true, and want it off their profile

Moderation History
Ask the mods (if you have questions on your moderation)

Currently, the purge system is glitched, but you do have 60 days to get the union active again before it's deleted

Thanks for the reply... but how do i get the union active again when it says it`s deleted, and considering that the link they`ve provided me with to restore the union leads to the union creation page...

And i think you didn`t understant what i said about the moderation history :) maybe my english isn`t that good.... Anyway, i want to be able to go directly to the board (topic) where the deleted message was posted...  to check the context, and stuff like that. In this case, to see if anybody actually had a problem with what i said, or if it was just some guy that bugs me for a while now :)

hi, my idea is to show (in the Tech info at least) what games are compatible with the bluetooth headset for the PS3 because alot of cool games are not, like call of duty 3

The union percentage hasn't increased in any union since mid Jan... I hope that problem is fixedUltraZero

Earliest you might see a fix is not until unions v2 is released sometime later this year. That being said, union levels have been discused as being droped completely once unions v2 is released.

When are the new unions supposed to come out?X360PS3AMD05

DO NOT expect anything before E3 (Mid July), that is the official word from CraigB. Just keep an eye on that thread for anything and everything to do with unions v2.

How about if Gamespot can deploy XML or RSS versions of Game Collections?

i have no idea what new features will be coming in the big unions update, but i would like to suggest something. i think if a member of a union does not post or log-in within a year(?) of their last post (or join date, if theyve never posted), they should be automatically resigned from that union.

i am a regular poster in a union with over 2500 members, but in that union i only ever see about 50 other regulars posters. and im sure its not just that union. i think a lot of newbies join a union or people get new accounts, and then never resign their membership when they stop using gamespot, so there just becomes hundreds of dead accounts in the members list. if they were automatically removed, i believe it would give a more accurate portrayal of how big and active unions really are.

how about a song player in profiles like in myspace? that'll be cool!Jin_sonic0606

Could there be a Wii friend code added to the profile? I'm asking since there's a PS3 and Xbox but why not a Wii.Versus_XIII

I'd like to remove games from "my games" list. Don't know if it's already possible as it should be :D

We want to addYou tube videos to the posts!!!! or at least GS videos...

Empi3

adding you tube will be cool and i think you can add GS video to posts/blogs

I got 2 ideas:

1. you could costumize the blank right and left sides of your profiles.

2. A theme song for Gamespot!

I have an "enhancement": "If its not broke, dont fix it" = the basis of development. More and more bugs are appearing on this site; very annoying. They also take forever to get fixed...

[edit]

ok,onlyhalfthewhitespaceswentmissing,prettywierd...

At the end of the video reviews, the GameSpot score should be at the end. I was watching the Mario Strikers review by Alex, and I didn't even know the score on it. I know it's to the right of the player, but people can miss it since it moves, and I usually put my videos on full screen, so I wouldn't be able to see it anyways.

Another improvement on the site is that it needs to accept Discover Cards as an option for upgrading your account. I'm a Discover card user myself, and I really want to be a GameSpot Total-Acess Subscriber, and I'm sure thousands of other Discover card users wold like this too, but we can't because of this.

I don't know if this would be the right forum to post about this, but I have recently noticed the new change in the rating system. The trating system was one of my most favorite features of this website. The traditional way allowed me to rate games to the first decimal from one to ten, but now, I am only allowed to rate in increments of five for that first decimal. I now it is such a small thing to complain about, but it really has made my stay here less enjoyabe. If I wanted to rate a game 8.3, I would have to either round up or down to either 8.5 or 8.0.. Five points makes a huge difference in how good or bad a game is...I think it is not just less accurate, but it seems silly that it should work great before and now does not with the upgrade. Well, I hope this comment is heard. Thanks for your time GS. Peace.

I can not edit this thread! (thanks again Teivan) There won't be links to threads anymore. Too many people bumped old threads. Instead I'm going to write a description of the idea, and keep track of who submitted this? This thread is for all of you guys, so please tell me if you support this change, or if you don't like it_Sam_

I think that is a good idea, there has to be an easier way for you to update/ moderate this thread *sigh*

It maybe easier for you to have a post at the start of the thread in list form of all of the enhancements and ideas that have been suggested and who they were suggested by. That way GS admin can just go to that one post and pick and choose which they like or could implement to the site. No need for links to the posts just copy past and edit that first posts.

It is also a dam shame there is no way to vote on the enhancements we like the best then GS could pick the highest voted for to implement. But the size of the poll would be need to be HUdgE:D .

Hey guys i love what you've done here its a real good way for users and admins to quickly see what could be happening in the future. I was wondering if you could look over my idea for a new enhancement found Here and maybe post some feedback about improvements or other general queries, and if you like it could you post it on this thread please.

Thanks alot.

Can you maybe note something down that differentiates between updates to the US PSN and the EU PSN please?

For example, last week I read a news reprt from a tracked game that Tekken DR online was available so I plugged in my SP3 to the net, logged in and had my dreams dashed because that was only for the US store...............

Point is, it doesn't say anywhere in the news report whether those updates are for US only, or US and EU.

I would greatly appreciate a small addition to the summary page of each game, which would basically contain the same information as the back of the retail package of each game: Game Play Modes. I would love to see at a glance the different mode options, like single player only, or split screen multi-player 1 - 4, and on-line multi-player 1 - 16, for example. In the case of split screen multi-player, I would also really like to know if there is an option to split the screen vertically, rather than horizontally. If I were considering two similar games, and one game offered a vertical split screen multi-player mode, I would be all over it for use on my wide screen TV.

That being said, I have been a member for 5 years, and have been coming Gamespot since the late 90's, and this is the only suggestion that I have had for improvement in that whole time. Keep up the good work!

***EDIT: So I found some of this information under the 'Game Details' button, but I think it needs to be a little more robust. For example, Far Cry Instincts Predator lists online competitive multi-player, but it says nothing of split screen. I think it should say Split Screen Competitive 1 - 4, Online Competitive 1 - 16. For other games, it should say Split Screen Cooperative 1 - 2, or Online Cooperative 1 - 4, or whatever the case may be. I don't mind seeing this info under the 'Game Detail' button as opposed to the Summary page, but I think it needs to be fleshed out a little.***

Well, me personally (Maybe Others) want to be able to permently change the Font without repeatedly changing it everytime we post, It would be really cool if you guys did that!CWEBB04z

I just recently noticed that I had a message. I clicked on the little link and apparently the message was sent to me from Gamespot back in April. I was given a warning for some alleged violation of the ToS. I can't remember ever posting on this forum (not saying that I haven't, I just don't remember doing so).

So, my suggestion for an enhancement would be, when passing out warnings and/or punishment, it would be rather useful to provide a link and/or evidence of the alleged violation. I have no idea what I am being warned about and would like to know what the actual incident involves.
