Achievement logging
I think that there should be a way we can enter and log the amount of achievements we have earned from games. I like to keep track of achievements and it would be nice to be able to note down this on the website.
36 votesI’ll do you one better, the planned functionality is to automatically sync achievements across Steam, Microsoft, and Sony systems using their services. I haven’t looked but it may be possible to take in achievements from GiantBomb too, which would provide an “official” way to add achievements to games that don’t expose any.
-
Unbeatable / No Objective
Add option for "unbeatable games", such as games that have no real objective, like party games (e.g. Dad Beat Dads, Jackbox Party). It would be nice to be able to say that "Hey, no goal. Just a fun game."
25 votesThis should probably be included within the Progress reporting feature, to mark a game as having no real “progress” per se.
-
Treat game progress status separately from active status
For example, there are games that I have "beaten", but don't consider "completed" yet. When I'm still actively playing those games to complete them, I want to be able to set the game's status to "active" and "beaten" at the same time.

Unplayed Option
When adding new games to collection, add the option to have "Unplayed" status, instead of having to use the "undecided".

Replaying/Replayed
I think that there should be a 'replaying' or 'replayed' option to games. I often like to play through games again and it would be nice to have this option.
I am also confused about the difference between 'completed' and 'mastered', and I wonder if both are really needed.

The DOMINATED Status
Right off the bat, let me acclaim that KTOMG cares more about user feedback compared to the competition.
The 2016 DEC update saw the introduction of "Abandoned", "Completed" and "Mastered" statuses. It goes without saying that "Completed" and "Mastered" can be traced back to Backloggery's Status Guidelines.

But I protest against them both. They are exceptionally tough to fulfill if you are honest with yourselves.
100% Completion?
Hardest Difficulty - checked?
Collectibles - checked?
DLC - checked?
Achievements - checked?
XP Progression - checked?Mastery?
Speed Run - checked?
No Damage Run - checked?
Knife-only / Pistol-only Run -…3 votesI like this idea a lot, not sure on the naming but I think consolidating Completed/Mastered might make sense. Personally 100% to me is the percentage report from the game, not necessarily every difficulty level or anything—that would be Mastered if I 100%‘d multiple levels or New Game+ etc. But that’s why the current setup is confusing, I think.

Add platform to "releasing soon"
There are a few games that are time exclusive. If I know that a game I want will be released later on PC, I want to know that the date showed in the page is only for PS4, for example.
4 votesThis is planned along with tracking individual platform releases.
-
Sync with Origin, Uplay, GOGGalaxy, Battle.net etc
Rather than solely Steam.
80 votesI’ve started the process to explore GOG syncing. It looks promising. I may split this idea into separate ones per provider but for now leaving it as one idea.
-
Allow us to differentiate between digital and physical copies
For PS3 games, I can choose "PS3" or "PlayStation Network (PS3)", but Giant Bomb has decided to not differentiate between physical and digital going forward, including no "PlayStation Network (PS4)" option [1]. I want to share with my friends and family what games I have, and knowing whether I have a physical copy they can borrow (friends) or it's a digital game that we would have to download (kids) would be helpful.

17 votesThis is a great idea and something I had thought of but was waiting for someone to request. I’ll include this for my plans when I update Ownership features.
-
Feeling lucky, Rolutte, Fortune Cookie, Wheel of fortune etc...
Some random picker for titles you not yet beaten, abandoned, completed or mastered would be a really great addition.
8 votesI plan to create a recommendation engine that will help with things like this.
-
Group franchises
There should be an option to group franchises together on your games list (and maybe in search too) with a "click to expand button" to see all games in that franchise that you added to your games. Makes your lists more concise until you need more details.
7 votesI thought a grouping mechanism would be out by now but I only did filtering. I’ll revisit this in the future.
-
App
Make an app for this website. Could be very beneficial, especially when it comes to push notifications and things like that. Just a thought.
70 votesThe site has been designed to work on mobile devices—try opening the site on your phone, for example. You can even pin the site to your home screen! However, we know that many people expect to find an app on the store and we plan to release apps for iOS, Android, and Windows 10. We’re also planning to release a desktop version of KTOMG but all this requires some extra work to make offline browsing possible. Thanks for the suggestion!
-
Configurable email notification frequency
Sometimes I get a lot of email from the site within a few days; I'd like to be able to opt for daily or weekly digest emails instead, so I only get one email a week that includes all relevant notifications.
8 votesCustomizable notification settings are planned in the future.

We may be able to integrate with Metacritic/OpenCritic but it is likely not all games are supported. We may add available critic scores at some point but this is not a central feature of KTOMG.
-
Progress notes
I think this site could really benefit from allowing users to add progress notes to specific games where users can make note of the last thing that they did in the game or if the site could implement some sort of checklist for each game tailored towards that exact games progress so you have a bigger picture of how you're getting along in your games rather than only knowing if it's something you're currently playing.
85 votesYou can now add private notes about progress for a game if you like. However, we plan to formally support recording progress in the future.
-
List all games with different ways to sort and filter
Similar to the giantbomb database, when making a blank search, all games are listed with the ability to sort and filter it by any tags. This would be great to build my wishlist and backlog!
44 votesThis will be offered soon. We will update this when we’re closer to releasing this feature.
-
People who played this game also played...
When viewing a game, instead of just seeing how many people added it you should be able to see what other games those people added. For example a box on the side saying "Users who added Silent Hill to their list also added: Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 3, Resident Evil 4, Outlast etc..."
This would be great for discovering new games from people who have similar taste to yours.

Integration with howlongtobeat.com
If I could look at my list of games and see how much of a time commitment they are at a glance, I wouldn't have to individually search them on hltb. If this is possible I really think that this would be amazing.
36 votesWe may or not directly integrate with HLTB and may instead offer the same features. We’ll investigate this, thanks for the suggestion.
-
Export/Import list
It would be cool to export the lists, and even use it as template to import new games to the lists.
Also give us participating users more votes! I have only 3 left after posting some suggestions!
Thanks!
36 votesWe plan to allow RSS feeds and export to CSV, hopefully with service integration (i.e. sync all my lists to Dropbox/OneDrive/Google Drive/etc).

Fast platform selection.
If a game is only available on one platform, it could be added to that platform automatically when adding it to my collection. On a second thought, it could also narrow the platforms to my owned platforms, so if a game is released on say ps2 and xbox and I only own xbox, the game is added to xbox.
When clicking the "+" icon on the game you want to add, it could also display the owned platforms where the game is available so you can add it to the collection with the platform and status on a single step.…16 votesWe plan to improve how platform selection is handled across the site so it’s easy and fast (and smart). Only displaying owned platforms are supported already, though it won’t auto-select them. To select owned platforms, just edit your profile.
