it just came to mind that a nice way to make my unconventional use of blog mostly unnecessary and obsolete (which i would like to happen) is to....
Desura Features Wish List - Wish # 1
Allow adding of Free games to the list of games owned, without requiring to download them first. you can download them later at your own convenience, and can continue site navigation and games search without on-the-spot download req for a particular game you know u want to add. maybe this is already in place, but i havent installed the Desura client yet... will do that later... am going to transition to a diff Tb drive soon.
Desura Features Wish List - Wish # 2
Ability to mark games in owned list as Favorites, with option to keep them at top of list.
Desura Features Wish List - Wish # 3
List of game titles customized by user. this would need something like a button to add a game, available on the game page. This would also, imo, mostly replace the game tracking feature for when updates occur.
Desura Features Wish List - Wish # 4
Game pages should have a Last Updated timestamp, w.r.t. major news / version updates / patches / gameplay videos released / DLC's etc.
User game lists should have the option to show the Game Page Last Updated timestamp along with the user's Last Visited timestamp w.r.t. game page visit, and if the game page Last Updated timestamp is more recent than the Last Visited timestamp, have the Last Updated timestamp in bold / highlighted or something. This would definitely make the current game updates tracker obsolete and streamline updates awareness for Desura users.
----------------------------------------------------------
That's all i can think of for now, hopefully these eventually get implemented cuz i think they would definitely enhance the site's usability. it's how i would make a gaming site if i had the expertise and time.
Cheers and happy gaming, fellow gamers
