I like the idea about genre as well. We could do something like:

RPG's
RTS's
FPS's
Point and Click
Open World Survival
MMO's
What other genere's am I missing?

GOG: Same as here
R.I.P LucasForums

The labels are really useful. I browse exclusively on mobile, but always choose the desktop version. ProBoards mobile just isn’t great. I bet I’m not the only one.

The mobile version is pathetic, I do the same and switch to desktop (with a lot of zooming). For those who are unaware the desktop button is bottom right of the mobile page btw.

If your screen isn't too small I'd recommend everyone do that too, then you can use labels, participated threads, themes etc.

Yeah, I always switch to desktop even on mobile.

I was starting work on <<<Mobile Test>>> theme (yes, it totally sucks) which uses much larger text/font and eliminates avatars and other space-hogging items to make it easier to read :ph34r:

Yes, I know it sucks :lol:

FYI,

Genres sound like they'd be a great idea, but in the end, many games don't really fall neatly into the buckets, and we'd just like fewer buckets anyway.

For now, we'll reduce to the most active, rolling some things up into General, and adding labels.

General Games Discussion
BioWare Legacy and Other BioWare Discussion (BG, KOTOR, Jade, SWTOR)
CDPR
Bethesda
Ubisoft

Can there be announcements about new game releases that aren't bioware? with link to their respective discussion threads.

Like Greedfall on the 10th but obviously can be about other games too. IF yes, Maybe only at request, so it's not on mods to keep up with release dates of things.

Not a bad idea.

Greedfall has much that has a 'BioWare' feel about it.

If you prod me end of 9th I'll do a news post.

Should it be a separate thread to discuss how this is particularly suitable for BioWare fans or a straight point to the Greedfall discussion? (your choice)

If I understand this question correctly, I was thinking just a link to the current Greedfall discussion.

Any person (or persons) want to curate a 'New Games' thread like Hrungr does the twitter feeds for DA & Anthem? Something to sit on top of the Other Games area, and can have game announcements and other stuff collated? Or is that too much? I'm not volunteering :ph34r:

O, I guess the link should be to the spoiler free-ish thread "Greedfall" and not so much the spoiler filled "what did you do today in Greedfall" thread.

On mobile, can't see if you've already made the announcement
