Is it just me or could the charts use a new color scheme? It just seems to me that the blues and the greens are so close that it makes it difficult to really see which line you're looking at. I'm surprised colors like black and purple and red weren't used instead of the variants of green and blue. I'm not sure if I even understand how each color variant corresponds with each conole or if they were just selected at random.

Any thoughts? Wish I had a picture to show, but here's the link.

I'm sure there are more pressing things to work on on the site right now, but considering that this is a Chartz site I'd think we'd have some of the most readable and informative charts around.

Just noticed that when in classic blue, the numerical value that accompanies the slider when rating games is missing.

It's missing in the standard and "dark" modes, too - it's a bug that came up with the profile page updates, and I haven't had a chance to address...

Okee. Just wanted to make sure you were aware.



Site is broken as Mzuzek stated. Most things you click on will redirect you to the main page by default or crash completely to a white distorted screen.

Profile is working. Friend requests working. Messages working. so far

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Hi Talon,

This is a topic that has concerned me and a few other for some time. It's about the way polling is done here on VGC. I believe the polling system as it is now is flawed- and could be improved. An example of this is what transpired in the "Greatest Developer of 2018" competition (not the actual name but best I recollect). The poll was by large tampered with by anonymous voters (lurkers) and it turned out that results were skewed heavily towards a certain platform. This of course in response to an expected result since a large part of the userbase are Nintendo oriented. To see how easy it is to do it without an account, I tried out the TOR browser and not to my surprise I found out it was extremely easy to put a few votes in instead of just one vote. 

My suggestion to solve this issue: Make it user ID based.

Why? Because why even let lurkers vote? If a poll like "Game of the year" is meant to be a choice of the VGC community, why should lurkers have a voice in that? Wouldn't you agree that it would actually be an incentive to let lurkers join the site to give them the ability to vote? I just think the polling should be a VGC community activity only.

Thank you for your time and look forward to your input.

Is it just me or is the Game Sales portion of the site acting weird? It will organize things by best selling but then after a few entries it will show up titles that are not where they should be. Is something wrong with my options? I included them in the screenshot just to make sure it wasn't the options enabled.



Why do "Total Sales" say "N/A" for most of the games though?
