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.

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.

19 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.
11 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.
83 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!

Support metacritic / opencritic scores for sorting and filtering
As a user, I want to be able to sort and filter my lists based on critic scores.
7 votesAggregate critic scores are already being ingested behind-the-scenes, but are not yet exposed as fields or in the UI. This is definitely planned and will likely be rolled into the Ratings & Reviews capability.

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.

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!
47 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.

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.

Save filter criteria as "Views"
It would be fantastic if you could save a set of filters as a "view" that you can quickly click on to sort your library in a particular way, without having to set each individual filter criteria each time.
For instance, say I have a view I want to call "Unplayed Playstation Games". This filter might consist of the PS3, PS4 OR PSN platforms and the NOT SET play status. It would be great to save this view so that next time I want to view with these filters, I can just click that saved view.

Be able to rate games
a 5 star rating score can given to any game I have played
100 votesThis should be going along with the social features

Link to Amazon or other store pages
It would be phenomenal to have something off to the side with links to stores like Amazon, Best Buy, eBay, etc. much the same way Blu-Ray.com does on their individual title pages.
Maybe even with a list of stores showing current prices,

A much more useful Explore page
The ability to see more under each category. I'd personally like to see a lot more than just the 12 in each category.
And then perhaps a recommendation system, that will give a list of recommended games based on things like favorite games. Maybe even let us choose our favorite genres, and it will recommend games based on that.
34 votesDefinitely coming in the future—the explore page is an area we definitely want to expand on.

Add a release calendar
I want to see an upcoming schedule of games within the next few months so I know what's on the horizon and can follow games I'm interested in

I want to be able to track releases in other regions or platforms
Right now KTOMG only tracks US release dates. If I'm in another region, I want to track my region's release (UK/AU/Japan). Furthermore, some platforms release at different times (e.g. The Elder Scrolls Online) so I would also like to track specific platforms.

Allow custom games and metadata
Since not every game is not on giant bomb, could there be an option to write your own entry into the list? Perhaps add the option to put in the main game homepage into the entry too. Maybe even KToMG could periodically search your own entries and notify you if a giantbomb page has been made for one of those, and you can choose to update the info? Or perhaps expand the choices of databases to search from? Steam and steam greenlight would be good ones.
27 votesThis may be a future Powerup.
Currently any updates can be submitted to IGDB.com which is community-driven and changes will be reflected within an hour or so.

Keep Track of My Deals
As a (casual or serious) gamer, I want to be notified when my games go on sale, so that I can buy them at a discount without constantly checking if they are on sale.

Detailed Stats Breakdown
I'd love to see an expansion to the stats page where we could see how many new games we added per year vs. how many games we beat per year, and in what order.
11 votesI’d love to add this, it would be more accurate to keep track of the history of a game within your collection which I don’t collect right now. It would also need to handle times when a game switches between statuses frequently or something too.

Hide games we haven't played
There are some free-to-play games in my list that I've never (that I recall) played (AdVenture Capitalist, Double Action: Boogaloo). I think hey shouldn't show up in my list until I play them. Team Fortress 2, on the other hand, I have played, so it should be in the list, but it isn't. :-)
In general, I could see being able to exclude games from the list could be useful, too.
1 voteDefinitely planned, should go along with optionally hiding games in your Wishlist from “My Games” view and My Games stats.
