"If you believe a game is completed and should be crossed off post it here!" Episode IV: A New Hope

51
Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

If you think a game is finished, please post it here. If at least one other user agrees with you feel free to edit the page and cross it off.

Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

Pending:

  • BloodRayne 2 - Essential improvements is lengthy - maybe replace the list with a collapsed table? Preferably with descriptions for each mod, but that's not vital.
  • Deus Ex: Invisible War - The settings screenshots need to be added.

Normally I wouldn't be so picky since the feature is rather new, but I'd request that from now on we have the Localization section added to pages before they're crossed off. Network as well, if it's relevant.

For Lands of Lore 2, the entire game is in the first person perspective, so it is possible (but unlikely) that someone might find some way to change the FOV. I left it false as a fix is not out of the question. I can't say anything about Lords of the Realm III as I don't own it.

I've also added in the tables for the two pages.

On a related note, I got some more games to add to the list:

  1. Freespace
  2. Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams
  3. Giants: Citizen Kabuto
  4. Total Annihilation: Kingdoms
Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

For Lords of the Realm III, can you mark the state of Subtitles, anisotropic, and anti-aliasing? I imagine it's false, but I didn't want to do it myself in case I was wrong.

I'll cross them all off, including LotR III, but please do fix that.

Again, great job on all these articles :D

ThatOneReaper (talkcontribs)

Ok, I marked the states. As far as I can tell they are false, but someone who owns the game would need to verify it.

And I got one last game to check:

  1. Stronghold
Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

Looks good to me, I'll cross it off as well.

ThatOneReaper (talkcontribs)
Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

Really sorry I haven't gotten to this yet, I've been working on other things. I'll try to look through these tonight if possible, bug me on my Talk page if I haven't done anything by Sunday.

@PomstaZLesa: Not sure if anyone already gave you a response, but might as well.

Fahrenheit still needs the Input and Audio tables filled in. Also, the config file location might want to be specified better.

Looks good otherwise.

I believe that Total Overdose... is done as well.

Anonymous (talkcontribs)

It's got a few too many unknowns, if you can fill those in, provide the screenshots for subtitles/audio stuff, we can cross it off. Thanks!

Oceanclub (talkcontribs)

I think Darklands should be sufficiently documented? Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to edit the parent page.

P.

ThatOneReaper (talkcontribs)

The Input, Audio, and Localization tables need to filled in. The location of the config file (if there is one) also needs to be determined.

Finally, the utilities section needs to be cleaned up/sorted.

Thanks for creating the page BTW!

ThatOneReaper (talkcontribs)
Marioysikax (talkcontribs)

Seeing how many pages I have created/updated/unstubbed on that list I guess I'll start to keep list of my own.

Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

Crossed these off, danka!

ThatOneReaper (talkcontribs)
Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

A lot of these still need Game Data filled in. If they don't have save files, note that and remove the tables. I'll cross them off regardless, but please fix that when you get the chance.

ThatOneReaper (talkcontribs)

Just checked the first 40 games, all of them look good. Feel free to cross those off if you want, I'll come back later when I have more time and finish the rest of these.

The 7 Removed games at the bottom look good.

Apologies for the delay. I finally got the chance to look at them.

After some edits, they're all good to go. They can be crossed off.

All of this looks good to me, if anyone wants to cross these off.

Recently removed game handling

Garrett (talkcontribs)
Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

I've given this its own section. Should we include games which have been removed before we started the list as well? There's not too much of a reason, but for the sake of completeness I feel I should at least suggest it.

Garrett (talkcontribs)

I've added the other removed games for clarity and also moved Re-Volt since it has been removed as well (although the plan is that it will return soon).

HOW to "add the strikethrough markup"

2
Conrad Moody (talkcontribs)

Sorry for a stupid question, but I'm new to editing articles, I've finished Back to the Future: The Game and was wondering how to "add the strikethrough markup".

Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

It says it at the top of the article. Find the game in the list and change it to "<s>Back to the Future: The Game</s>".

Changing all GOTY, Gold Edition versions, etc.

3
Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

Can we change all the special versions of game names to their actual name? E.g. Subwar 2050 Complete would be renamed Subwar 2050 and then we could add a note that says "Available as Subwar 2050 Complete". Things like that, of course we'll also want to make Subwar 2050 Complete redirect to Subwar 2050.

Anonymous (talkcontribs)

I thought we were already doing that? At least some of them were changed and had a note next to it. I'm all for it if we're not doing that already.

Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

Some of them are still there, just wanted to make sure it was okay.

"Store Unlock" in Availability table

8
Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

Because the games are locked into your GOG.com account (and thus unlock on GOG.com), should they be labeled as GOG.com and DRM-free, or just DRM-free?

SN4T14 (talkcontribs)

It seems like people can't agree on this, some people include GOG.com, some people don't, I personally think including GOG.com is good, since it's more accurate to say "It comes with no DRM, but you have to log in to your GOG.com account to download it" rather than just saying "It has no DRM" and nothing more.

Netko (talkcontribs)

But then again, how would you purchase digital games without an account on a digital service? I would definitely have GOG.com and DRM-free both in place.

SN4T14 (talkcontribs)

Exactly, unless you're pirating it, it has to go through GOG.com, which means it should have a GOG.com logo.

Anonymous (talkcontribs)

It has been pretty much agreed upon so far that we only use the icon if a specific DRM system is in place. Therefore, for GOG.com we only use DRM-free, for Steam we use whatever applies (might be Steam+GFWL) and so on and so forth. The same applies to all other services, GamersGate gets their icon only if you have to use their client, GMG only if you have to use Capsule and it goes further along those lines. If the download and installation is restricted only by a website (in a fashion similar to GOG.com) and then can be used everywhere without any further activations or keys, just put down DRM-free.

Andytizer (talkcontribs)

IMO it's still useful to have the DRM-free and also the GOG.com icons for all GOG.com games (since it does use a downloader client of sorts).

Also in cases like Witcher and Witcher 2, the Steam row would include the (Steam), (GOG.com) and (DRM-free) icons - since you can register it onto GOG.com even though you bought it on Steam.

Anonymous (talkcontribs)

I was actually going by a similar conversation that came up in January. It might be best to do the overhaul at this point then, so as to clear up the confusion. My proposal would be probably usable in this case, although it does need the additional icons for DRM types.

Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

I like your proposal better than the current Availability table. It's much better.

Haegemonia Gold Edition listed twice

Haegemonia Gold Edition is both at 248 and 249.

Linking to support pages

7
Anonymous (talkcontribs)

A relevant link to include might be the support pages GOG.com has for each game, in the least directing the user to a place where they might get some assistance. I believe we should include them under General Information, as "GOG.com Support Page".

Nicereddy (talkcontribs)
Anonymous (talkcontribs)

What would that method be exactly? We're still doing this largely by hand, one just needs to remember to check URLs after making the page - something that should be done in any case.

Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

True, I suppose by method I simply meant that the URL was essentially the same but with forums/support interchanged.

Netko (talkcontribs)

Should the fixes from GOG.com support pages be transferred to the articles or just left alone?

Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

Since the PCGW is generally a hub for fixes, I'd say we should move them over if possible.

Anonymous (talkcontribs)

With relevant references in this case, or at least a link back to the fix on GOG.com.

Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

There's a large margin between the sidebar and list, as far as I can tell it's caused by the counter. Can anyone spot the problem?

Anonymous (talkcontribs)

There's an unclosed div there, although personally I think it looks better centred.

Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

I've closed the divider because I prefer it to be clean and when a game name/description is too long it goes to the next line more often with the margin. Silly reason, but still :P

Replacing "Apart of"

3
Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

I don't feel that this is a good phrasing, any suggestions for a replacement? "Packaged as part of", "Packaged in", etc?

Anonymous (talkcontribs)

In the least it should be "A part of". "Packaged with" or "Sold as" perhaps? Although personally I'm ok with "A part of".

Nicereddy (talkcontribs)

I realized that yesterday after I got off my computer and felt like an idiot.
