A couple of ideas for Giant Bomb
By FireSketch 7 Comments
So I've been a fairly long time user of the site, and in my time I've come up with a couple of ideas which I feel could either improve it, make it better, or increase it's quality.
- User created quests. It feels pretty obvious (in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they're already working on it) and shouldn't be too hard to develop. XP gained from completing quests could have a seperate total and wouldn't factor into the main total. I think this would be really fun!
- Including the platforms games were released on in the search. Currently, when searching for a game which does not have a unique name (for example, there have been several Superman games called "Superman".) I have prepared an image to show exactly what I mean:
You can probably tell I guessed / made up which platforms these games were released on. - A way of showing you how many points you have on a wiki page, if you're not in the top five. Call it narcissism, but I like to know!
Maybe less "LOOK AT ME!", but you get the idea.
Also, if Giant Bomb does end up having a subscription model (which I'm fairly certain it will (not necessarily a bad thing(triple parantheses))), maybe offer an annual or even a lifetime subscription if possible. I really don't want to have to manage or think about my subscription to the site because a great deal of its appeal to me is how simple and hassle free it is.
If any devs/mods/staff read this: Thank you and keep up the great work!
Thanks for reading,
