| ioi said: How is the game database on Gamewise inferior? The actual version - we have developed a new gaming site that focuses more on games (new, retro, casual, core) and allows users to add deep information to each game (like you would on a wiki) covering characters, levels, items and so on. The Gamewise database is far beyond what we used to have on VGChartz. As part of the Gamewise experience, a major focus will be on building game collections and showing them off via widgets, forum signatures and so on. This is still being fleshed out now and will be live in a few months. With this in mind, we are no longer updating or focusing on these features on VGChartz (and they will eventually be phased out) but you will be able to link back to your Gamewise collections via the aforementioned widgets once they go live. |
It is inferior because there is no way to:
1) specify which version of the game you have, and therefore to
2) sort your collection filtered by gamesystem (ie no way to view your SNES collection, your PS2 collection)
3) specify if you completed the game
4) specify if you're currently playing the game
5) put games on a wishlist (not sure about this one.. if this is possible I just might make a GameWise account because this is the most important feature for me).
I'm also not a fan of the rating system (5 point scale instead of 10 point scale).
Although I must say Gamewise's aethetic design is great, looks much better than VGChartz.
