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.
http://backloggery.wikia.com/wiki/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.

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.

Won't Play Option
Going through some of my own Steam library, there were many games picked up through bundles or sales that I, (being honest with myself) will never play. Either they don't look interesting, or I know they're terrible games. Can we have an option for "Won't Play", or "Regret" to differentiate them from "Undecided"?
11 votesI was envisioning a way to simply hide these games from your list (but still restore them if needed) vs. just creating a separate list.
-
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."
30 votesThis should probably be included within the Progress reporting feature, to mark a game as having no real “progress” per se.
-
Less Options
Wishlist and Want to Play could be combined into a single category.
Beaten, Completed and Mastered could be combined into a single category.
I feel that active, paused and abandoned could adopt a green, yellow, red light option, and not be a list on the sidebar.
I think the New List option will take care of the needs of individual gamers.0 votes -
Unplayed Option
When adding new games to collection, add the option to have "Unplayed" status, instead of having to use the "undecided".
17 votes -
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.
18 votesThis will be taken care of with the new Playthrough Tracking and progress features currently in development. Statuses will be automatically derived from playthroughs and completion data, so the "Mastered", "Beaten", and "Completed" statuses will go away and be replaced.
You'll be able to track multiple playthroughs of a game, at once, or one at a time, depending on however you tend to play.
-
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.
42 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.

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.

Display estimated value of my games / collections / lists
I have a lot of games, and every once in while I like to trade or sell some of the titles I haven't played in a while. Often this can mean me selling off an entire console and all the games that I have for it. I would be useful if you could integrate with ebay or some other source to come up with an estimated asking price for each game so I could easily see what a fair value for my games / groups of games is.
3 votesWould love to do this, will depend on integrating with some external system like Amazon to get current prices (New and Used)

Set a priority for a wishlist game
I have many games I don't own yet but am planning to get at some point. It would be nice to set different priorities for games you don't own yet.

Friends, Lists, Following, Ratings
KTOMG is super awesome!
The only thing missing is the ability to let your buddies add you as a 'friend'. If you add a friend, you could let then set permissions on a List to allow friends to collaborate and add games :D
You could then see which friends have played the games in your various lists and or friends lists.
Basically, if we can invite friends to the site, we probably want to follow each other and follow each others lists to some extent (assuming the permissions are set appropriately)Our use case is as follows:
There's a group…7 votesCollaborative lists are partially implemented, just not live yet. Friends are also partially implemented. Both of these features will be released once they’re tested and ready. Thanks for the suggestion!
-
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.
-
Automatically sort by console when searching for new game
Would be nice if you could specify which consoles you own so that When you search for a new game, it would show you games for your consoles first. This would greatly improve relevance of top search results. Bonus points for "console wish list", "own but don't play any more" and "used to own" to display after your current consoles but before other consoles.

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.

Sync with Origin, Uplay, GOGGalaxy, Battle.net etc
Rather than solely Steam.
83 votesGOG importing is available now. Xbox (Gamepass, etc.) is likely to be up next!

Because status “lists” are treated specially (in the code and UI), this would be a major change. In the meantime, we have added many new statuses since this idea was submitted. We will still see if it will be possible to allow users to mark lists as “status” lists.
-
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.
