Karnacharya Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'd like to start out by saying that I feel that the Statistics page on this site is easily one of its strongest attributes. I love the fact that you're able to get a snapshot of your gaming habits and attributes at a glance, but I definitely think the Statistics page could be enhanced little more information. So my question is this: would it be possible at all to add a genre tag to each game page with the goal of allowing you to track what percentage of your trophy collection is made up of the various genres (fighting, racing, sports, MMO, RPG, rhythm, etc.)? I notice that a genre tag already exists on some game pages, but it's inclusion is not uniform, and probably not possible to accurately track for statistical purposes. That said however, I do realize that there are 2,999 games in our database as I type this, so this project might certainly take a while if it were to become a reality someday. Even so though, I certainly think that it would be nice to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowGandalf Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 What about games that defy genre? What genre is Flower and Journey for example? Its a nice idea, but some games, I just can't classify them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnacharya Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) "Other" is probably a valid option in the cases of Flower and Journey, as "PIECES OF ART THAT MOVE YOUR VERY SOUL" isn't a genre tag that most people might readily use.

ExHaseo Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 This would be a cool idea. A lot of games are already tagged with what genre they are, so I imagine they'd be able to pull the info from there and create the statistic fairly easily.

UK-Danny-93 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yeah I quite like the idea, I'll never complain about more stats. As long as they're well organised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
