[Feature Request] Include Cart / Disc Completeness (DLC etc)

Post by HansonEX »

Hi everyone! I’ve been using GAMEYE a lot lately to work on my collection. I picked up a ton of games with all the holiday sales - most being used games. As I catalog the games and check them, I am occasionally finding issues that I was not aware of when purchasing. Here are two examples:
  • Borderlands Collection (Switch) - only includes the first game. Games 2 & 3 are DLC with a single use code. This means that it is rather pointless to buy it used.
  • Nier Game of the Yorha (PS4) - the disc is the exact same as the original game. The GotY goodies are DLC code(s)
I am sure there are soooo many other situations. While researching for this feature, I also came across many other individuals that are concerned about another aspect: future-proofing their physical games by prioritizing games/versions that include everything on cart/disc (complete) without requiring a download to work. I think this feature request could also incorporate that somehow.

So…. Could a property be added for games that would indicate if it:
  • includes single use DLC (maybe red text or something warning users from used games)
  • is complete on media (cart/disc)
  • requires a download to be complete
Maybe something like this already exists out there. The best I could find right now is this list (to get things started), but it isn’t very console inclusive: https://forums.redflagdeals.com/list-co ... s-2159229/

Thanks for reading and I hope the developers like the idea!

Additional links also worth reviewing:
  • Games Re-released to include all DLC on cart in one version

  • Some Reddit folks looking for this feature in a way (both links include links to good lists):

I’m the GE dev (but it’s worth noting I dont own TGDB). That definitely sounds like a good idea. I would suggest asking @zero about it their discord. I’m not sure if making them separate entries is a good idea just yet or not. But certainly it’d be a good idea to have a field that notes this stuff somewhere

Thanks for the reply SSR. Great app by the way! Thank you for your efforts, as well as TGDB folks!

Yeah I assumed this would work better as a new field in TGDB which GE then read….instead of expecting GE users to maintain their own lists. Also figured it could work as just one new field (like a drop down that is chosen when updating the game entry in TGDB). What the text says for each scenario is up for debate I suppose.

I’m not on their Discord nor very proficient with it; but I will certainly give it a shot and try to tack down zero.

Thanks!
