haha yes sry u better because I dont always notice that on the fly with my attention span sometimes, stress etc ;).
I only used it a few times so far tho and had it bookmarked else I would have noticed it easily enough, so its no fault of urs:)
But I can tell this is a lot of work done and a great site to help search for games b/c ur right that the recomended games popping up here are almost always the ones we already own or have wishlisted, I constantly find new games manually and randomly browsing thinking omg why didnt this pop up for me I love this.
But also btw that info bit dont show up if u do external search for ur site with a specific words such as early accesss, then it goes to that and u dont see that top bit, so might be why it skipped my notice ;p
I thought it was something like protondb which I think is also user generated but looks so official and supported by steam staff themself. So I kinda did think it was something made by at least a GOG staff member.
Still fairly new here and saw this site mentioned at some point, so I have used ur site a few times especially for this purpose.

Also one thing I really liked with urs is that it by default excludes the nsfw tag unless u tick that off in the top, something opposite from GOG that I really wish it would adapt.

mrkgnao: "Lynn , HD WallPaper" (currently at 96% off) is marked as 79% better than previous all-time low. This is incorrect. In fact, in all of the recent sales, this item was 100% off (i.e. free). This is the "worst" it has been since January 2024, not the best.

gogtrial34987: Yep, I'm aware. :/
OK. As long as you're aware.
avatar
gogtrial34987: The answer is 6. That's not enough to add a filter for. You can narrow the search with the exclude "available in all countries" filter, giving you (currently) 250 games (half NSFW) which are banned in one of the countries for which I track that.
- 2x Agony (NSFW; game + soundtrack; so annoying! forced me to add a second level alternative in the front-end)
- Horizon Zero Dawn
- Mad Max
- Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days - Complete Edition
- Saints Row IV: Re-Elected
avatar
gogtrial34987: So this number just went up by 11 to 17, due to Devil May Cry 4, which has an upgraded edition, 8 DLCs and a bundle, each of which is not available in Japan and has an alternative.
Current count of alternative products for sale: 18. All of the above, plus "biohazard HD REMASTER", the alternative in Japan for Resident Evil HD REMASTER.

If this keeps up with the capcom games, I can imagine adding a dedicated filter before too long...
Getting close! (In relative terms! This is not yet a promise for an imminent release.)

Yesterday I was despairing of ever getting this to work properly, as putting everything together in the UI showed that user-specific faceting caused page loads of more than a second, and that was getting worse with every facet I added (while I want to be able to show facets for wishlist priorities e.a.).

Today, using a different (uglier) approach, I'm back down to ~0.1 seconds, with facets being essentially free (even memory usage looks quite limited), and the future looks bright.

Why does it throw a "403 (forbidden)" at me?

Are you using an ancient browser? I'm very aggressively blocking those due to it being an easy way to recognize the vast majority of abusive AI scrapers. That's far from ideal, but they're really extremely abusive, connecting through Tor and countless residential proxies, and the alternative approaches I have would be far costlier to implement.

*checks his logs*
I suspect that's indeed it. I added an exception for the entire netblock you're connecting from. Please let me know if this indeed works now.

Well: "Version 90.0.4430.212 (Official Build, ungoogled-chromium) custom (64-Bit)", which is 4.5 years old.

Yes, thanks, works now. The netblock is from a local ISP, which means there are probably quite a few trojan-victims (i.e. botnet "members") therein, but not the big AI companies.
...and suddenly I am very close to the majority of wishlist import + wishlist/hidelist/library management being finished. Still quite a few loose ends to tidy up, and a ton of polishing to do, but I hope I'll be ready for some (unpolished, barebones-UI) beta-testing next week (watch how naming a specific date will come back to haunt me!), and making this generally available depending on how that goes and how swiftly my polishing can get the front-end looking reasonable.

Great news. And don't rush. It's done when it's done :)
I had thought of this a while ago, but forgot/didn't bother to suggest it in here until I was reminded about it by a mention in another thread: When "all-time best price" and the like is mentioned on Gamesieve, I would like it if there were some reference disclosing (at least roughly) how far back "all time" actually is in that case. Potentially, many users will be unaware of how new Gamesieve is, and might tend to assume that its price tracking goes back a lot further in time than it actually does, potentially making reasonable but wrong assumptions.
(This has long bugged be about GOG's own "all-time bestselling" catalogue sort order, too -- especially since I distinctly remember seeing a blue post many years ago saying that that sorting option [at the time -- before it was taken away in a redesign, and only reintroduced years after] only counted the last year or so of sales; I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that were the case for the current implementation, too. Yet many users take it at face value, basing all sorts of assertions upon the supposed long-term sales ranking of this or that game. However, that's not likely to heavily influence too many people's buying decisions, unlike insufficiently transparent "all-time lowest price/highest discount" labels.)

Good one. It actually goes back quite far, as gogdb makes its price tracking data freely available, so I imported that to start with, meaning my tracking goes back to April 2021. I mention that in the tip on this page, and in the opening post of this thread, but that's not really discoverable, other than by accident, so I'll also add it to my upcoming "about" page. (Please ping me if I haven't actually done so when that goes live!)

I don't know if you use tooltips in any way, but that might be a good way to disclose this info it without making somebody click through to another page (which many users aren't going to do anyway, at least for an "about" page [which is not to say that you shouldn't still make one of those at some point -- you absolutely should!]). Maybe have instances of "all-time" be marked with an asterisk and/or lightly highlighted or shaded, then present the info when hovered over? Barring that, merely putting the asterisk in (i.e., "all-time* low") might be enough by itself to get some people to look for that notice...which will hopefully then be easily findable. :)
I just put a new version of GameSieve live. On the outside, you shouldn't notice anything new, other than for some trivial styling changes. Behind the scenes I now have wishlist import working. There's space for some additional beta-testers, so let me know if you want to give it a try.

Library import and public wishlists are my next highest priorities - I'd love to have them done in a matter of weeks, but we'll have to see how that goes.

Sneak peek of what this will look like (modulo further tweaks to the interface).
And yes, every option there is something you can filter on.

Errr... maybe I'm blind. But what do I need to do to test this? Is there a tutorial somewhere? lol.
