Is there a good Video Game equivalent of My Anime List?
>>339672682
Doesn't look like bait to me, anon. I think it's a good question, because I've been searching for it myself.
All I can think of are sites like "how long to beat" and backloggery. None of them scratches my "MAL but for vidya" itch, though.
bump for curiosity
you have my attention
>>339672885
steam
>>339672634
I use the my game collection app for my android
Backloggery
>playing games just to beat them
Do you have a shivering orgasm whenever you see a credits screen or something?
Play the games to enjoy them. Nobody gives a fuck how many you've beaten.
>>339674920
I give a fuck
And get the fuck out of here with your "muh fun" and "muh edgy teen attitude I don't care!!!1!" You cock sucking Mongoloid piece of shit
>>339674920
No but I get a sense of closure.
>>339675135
Then write the shit down on a piece of paper and laminate it you ridiculous cunt.
Howlongtobeat.com is actually pretty comprehensive for that sort of thing
>>339674920
>playing games just to beat them
That's what people did before this era of endless multiplayer games.
>>339675198
>going for a piece of paper when there are more convenient and classier ways of doing it
Go back to your grave grandpa were tired of your world war stories
>>339672634
I use myvideogamelist which is kind of a cheap knockoff of MAL. It's not the best, doesn't have videos/screenshots to look at while browsing for a game but it's rather simple.
>>339675408
Fuck you, you don't know what it was like.
Rotten kids with your techno junk.
Glitchwave is good, but there's only the private beta right now
>>339672634
Notepad or excel. Take your pick.
Yeah they're called trophies/achievements, they're even built into the game
>>339675490
Have you not formatted your harddrive for 10 years?
>>339675819
Oldest pictures in my reaction folder are from October, 2006 so almost.
There's not much point building a video game database like MAL because video games are an inferior medium and any idiot who "publishes" a UE4 demo or RPG Maker garbage is entitled to an entry.
>>339675483
I use this as well.It needs a lot of work but the list part is fine.
>>339675924
You made me remember I had a 15 year old harddrive which is long gone and I'll never get to see what kind of stuff I had on it.
Thanks.
>>339675957
Maybe there should be a way to segragate the two:
Games of Note:
>games from high-profile publishers or developers
>indie games published by well-vetted publishers (e.g., Revolver Digital, Adult Swim)
>self-published games that have gained a lot traction
The Rest:
>any poop that some self-made publishing idiot made, and shovelware
>>339676247
yea sure you go do that
>tfw I had a 1TB hard drive full of vidya music and memories of ye older days when I was a kid
>it was encrypted with truecrypt
>it got wiped because truecrypt was dismantled and the newer version of the app forces you to decrypt your drive which lead to a corrupted HDD
That was one if the saddest days in my life
>>339676145
My experience is that life is too short to spend time lording over your treasured hard-drive data.
Like, fuck. I have not had a Pictures folder in years. I've come across thousands upon thousands of great images, cute anime girls, and otherwise interesting shit. I do not regret not saving any of it.
Life is too short to care about having an elaborate digital hoard.
>>339676443
>trusting the encrypted jew
>>339676443
I recently lost my TrueCrypt data, anon. Years worth of stuff, including my giant and meticulously-curated MP3 collection and anime, among lots of other treasured stuff.
The filesystem within the TrueCrypt container was formatted with Ext4, but at the time, I had no Linux machines. So I decided to plug it into a USB hub, which a Linux VM then had access to.
Big mistake. Random corruption everywhere. No way in hell to even think about recovering a fraction of it. Lost everything.
So yeah, don't ever use TC via a USB hub. Plug dat shit in directly.
>>339676457
Thanks, old man.
>>339676457
>the happening happens
>internet goes out
>there is electricity thanks to the generator in the basement
>you turn on your PC
>you realize you have nothing to do/play/watch/read on your system because everything needs internet
>meanwhile the hoarders are enjoying their collection of stuff they saved for the happening and laffing at the online cloud fags
I tried many and i liked howlong2beat more, it gives you lots of option to organize games while not obligating you to fill data you dont want to, like the ownership status on backloggery, why the fuck does that matter
>good
No. Raptr automatically keeps track of the hours you spend playing PC games and tracks your achievement and trophies if you link your PSN and XBox accounts. Xfire used to do the same thing until they changed into a completely different thing. Playfire also exists, and serves mostly as a microblogging thing, like facebook and twitter but for normies talking about video games. They're all pretty awful.
>>339676987
>Internet goes down for about 24 hours
>my entire family is going berserk
>I'm jacking off to premium porn, listening to audio books, watching new movies, tv shows, anime
Hard drive space is cheap.
>>339676443
>1TB
>ye older days when I was a kid
Explain.
>>339677253
When I was a kid 64KB was impressive for a flippity floppy.
>>339672634
MAL is the cesspool of anime community, is that what you're asking for games too?
>>339677215
I have to admit, your pic and your comment were a lot funnier to me than they should've been.
>>339677390
MAL is probably one of the better, if not one of the best ones out there, at least for its size.
Though, the standards for anime forums are incredibly low, so that's not saying much at all.
Speaking of which, does anyone know any anime communities that aren't garbage? I don't think I've ever ran into one that wasn't.
>>339677253
When HDD portable hard drives came out I extracted all the CD disks with old stuff i collected when I was a kiddo into a HDD because I knew CDs would stop working and die soon but I wasn't expecting same shit to happen to my HDD
>>339677701
All data eventually fails on all media. The only reasonable safeguard is proper off site backups.
>>339677390
I believe he just wants it for searching/logging games. Not the shit community part.
>>339677823
>I believe he just wants it for searching/logging games
Notepad comes with windows.
there is backloggery but it is a bitch to maintain even with the ToxicFrog/bltool.
>>339677823
Correct.
Currently checking out the Backloggery, seems alright.
>>339677920
Please.
>>339677646
If they do, they're not going to tell you about them here. That's just inviting a disaster.
>>339677646
>does anyone know any anime communities that aren't garbage?
Yeah, lurk /a- wait, no I dont. Sorry.
>>339672634

fuck off, go start a blog or something if you want to let people know how many games/animes you finished in your e-peen contests.
>>339672634

>Yeah, lurk /a- wait, no I dont. Sorry.
For whatever thought you were trying to express, I think you should try again.

Good one anon
>>339672634
A place where you can stroke your epeen about how many games you have played/own? Vgcharts.
>>339680136
What's this ROM collection you're talking about, anon?
>>339681290
It held every nes game , snes games , dsroms , psp titles(specifically psp undub collections) , ps1 titles , n64 titles and small other additions
In total iirc it was well over 100gbs
Just wait for Glitchwave. It's the RYM equivalent for videogames, and RYM is the best database site for music and movies
I honestly do not see the point of MAL other that bragging how much anime you have watched. Backlog can be put in a notepad.
>>339681785
It's the Baka updates for anime
Keep track of what episode and show you are on
I've beaten so many games I can't even remember them
>>339672634
The RateYourMusic guys are doing a videogame one that's in beta currently, I believe.
Also there's an IMDB clone out there for videogames, but it only had about 7,000 members iirc.
Backloggery, you chucklefucks
>there are people who don't use Backloggery
>there are people who "organize" their collection in something shitty like Notepad
>there are people who don't organize at all
>>339681838
Thats great and all but I can do it without MAL too. People these days use it for bragging rights.
>>339683734
>there are people who organize which anime they've watched
but WHY?
>>339684174
Same reason you might organize games.
There are people who watch a fuckton of anime. MAL lets you keep track of how many episodes as well, which is fairly useful.
>>339684174
i like seeing the stats
>>339684174
They forget that they were watching something.
I'm serious.
>>339675483
I use it too. It's nice but still under development. They do have a lot of games already though.
>>339684405
I dont have a MAL account and I keep track of it just fine.
Whats the point of watching something after you havent watched in a while anyway? Youll repeat everything anyway.
>>339672634
player.me
On the topic of MAL, I remember seeing some alternative on my occasional lurking of /a/ a year or two ago, but it was literally just a listing function without the fucking retarded community on MAL. I don't suppose anybody here would remember what it is?
I'd ask on /a/, but, you know.
>>339674920
Why the violent reaction?
And no, it's good when things have a conclusion. If it was a good game you will want to play it again down the line. This modern trend of unlimited autism simulators doesn't appeal to me at all.
>>339684889
anidb,hummingbird, or maybe anime-planet?
Anyone got some good netorare anime?
A romance anime in which the girlfriend gets stolen from the protagonist and she doesn't return to him at the end leaving him broken?
I want to fuck up one of my romance loving friends.
>>339672634
Listen up faggots.
Darkadia used to be good. It draws directly from GiantBomb's database. recently it's abandoned and returns error on searching games.
As a completionist, I find GameFAQs to be the best option at the moment. You can rate a lot of the parametres about a specific game.
Protip: When you create your collection on GFAQs, it takes some time to update.
I just use a Google Sheets spreadsheet with different pages for played, backlog, games finished by year, etc
I started it in Excel just to practice using it but I liked being able to access my list on everything so I ported to Sheets and it gets the job done
>can log any games or mods however I want
>can set up categories however I want
>can calculate stats however I want
>can sort and filter however I want
>>>have to input every single piece of information manually
>>>sometimes formatting gets fucked
I'd like something more automatic but I haven't seen anything as polished as MAL
>>339686769
Is this a joke? I was serious.
>>339681785
It's nice for those series that you watch irregularly, either because of how often new chapters/episodes releases or if you let them pile up and then watch them in one go. Sure you could do it all in notepad or whatever but MAL is convenient.
>>339672634
I am writing my own simple generic backlog manager to learn C++, SQLite, and QT GUI.
Once it is done I can add a bunch of activities like video games, anime, and movies.
Each activity can be edited to have its own custom columns. And you basically use a search filter to sift through your backlog.
Would be nice if I can search through several activities in my search filter. Like say I feel like watching and playing anything related to ww2 without having to search through each and every activity individually.
I made my MAL and Backloggery to keep track of the anime I watched and the vidya I was into just for myself without giving a fuck what other people might think of it. In fact, I never looked at the forum part of MAL.
You just need the will to do your shit without giving 2 fucks about the retards and attention whores that fill both hobbies.
>>339686769
>983 completed
Well now, 3inch actually has quite a list.
Just use a google spreadsheet
