Not in for any achievements or trophies, but the original wish is good. It would be handy to be able mark a game as completed in our library and use that for sorting purposes.

Not everyone is fond of achievements, if they did that GOG would be no different than Steam. If it were a separate download and option then it would be something different to ponder about. The whole reason we buy GOG titles is so we can own a copy DRM free. To make use of tracking technology is the same as moving the titles into the cloud.

Just because its a extra feature doesn't mean it's useless. If you only have a small library you won't need it but the person that spends their entire entertainment budget on video games might. Some people like video games more then tv.

I like this idea. It can also be a nice sort option.

cool idea, but it would be like achievements.

While it is true that this might be strictly "unnecessary", it would add an element of engagement to GOG that it currently lacks. Right now, I just use GOG to buy games, and occasionally review or comment on them. It would be cool if it felt like there was a way I could actually interact with the games I have on my "shelves" in GOG, particularly if other members could interact with it.

It'd be great to have a tool to track your progress through each game by marking them as in-progress (say with a percentage slider) or a simple tracker with some basic categories; eg single-player missions on easy / normal / hard (most games), all side quests (for RPGs), all skirmishes (for RTSs), raced all tracks (for a racing game), all fastest laps (for a racing game), beat every level (for an arcade shooter), all high scores (for an arcade shooter or pinball etc). I have alot of games, some of which I've only sampled, some I've completed, some I've got "100% complete", some I've played to death and I'm not always sure which parts of each game I've played - remember that not all games internally track your progress in a way that you can easily see - particularly some of the older ones! Trophies / Achievements are inadvertently putting gaming on this path, but they are very inconsistent for this purpose because they're really designed to create extra gameplay challenges for players. Another nice feature would be a way to track play throughs, for example Deus Ex stealth vs strength; or Tropico benevolent vs malevolent; Duke Nukem speed-run (where you blast through it as quick as possible just to get to the end) vs tourist (where you try to see everything and get every secret). Maybe this is all moot and I should shut up and use http://backloggery.com.

unnecessary

I would like also to see which games I have downloaded and which I haven't like what Steam shows you. I have 100 games purchased from Gog now, and I can't always remember which I have downloaded and installed, especially with my 250 Steam games. Just a little tick, that says play or install like on Steam would be appreciated. When buying bunches of games, I tend to forget. << getting old.

Unnecessary.

pbaggers

Seems pointless, as I download and back up the installers for all my games on this site anyway. I can just do this by renaming their folders in Windows Explorer.

Seems a bit unnecessary. How about using a site like this - http://backloggery.com/ - to manage your game collection.

HTBites

I'd also like to propose, that the 'hide games' option should really hide them, and don't make them visible at all. You'd have a link to your 'hidden games' where you could untick them. I just don't like that I can't delete free games from my library.

dennisting

That would be pretty cool! It'd be cool to also be able to mark a game as "downloaded" for those of us that hoard games faster than we can play them. I suppose right now there seems to be just "hide game". In general, maybe we can just have tagging support? (e.g. be able to tag a game as "completed" or "downloaded" or "wishlist" or whatever)

I currently move completed games to the bottom of my shelf, but this would be a nice feature.

hucklebarry

Other features might go with this as well... such as the ability to add notes or links to your games on the shelf. Something that rewards those who build a decent catalog and enjoy managing their collection. Being able to share all these with your shelf would be nice as well.

Biasoli

Excellent idea. A plus for it.

bushwhacker2k

Really, I think this ties in with the idea of a GOG-interface and a more organizable GOG Downloader. + from me.

ZivilSword

This would be a nice feature, especially together with http://tiny.cc/z6u1bwThen you could use Gog.com as a managing tool for all your games (as they are available here) and have a decent sorting after “which game do I still need / want to play”. :)
