Hi all,
Im just developing our gamerscore, achievements tracker system and am thinking do we want all the games we have played to go into the MY COLLECTION area of our profile automatically?? Because i can do this?
Also, should i put the last 5 games we have played automatically into our NOW PLAYING area of our profiles??
I hope you understand what i mean.. Check out the MY Games area of your own profile by going here:
At the moment you have to manually add games to "My collection", "My Wishlist" and "Now Playing" list but i can make the My Collection automatic and the Now playing Auto.. Should i go ahead?
I dont have my 360 but when i get it i know that the auto set wold save me the time of loading it all myself.
I think if you auto add the played games users wold be more inclined to rate the games and add coments on them.
With the NOW PLAYING area it wold be a nice addon as long as you could still edit them. (I might not want you to know im still in the middle of Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Rescue). LOL

That would be good except that if you rented or borrowed a game from a friend it would show you as owning it when you do not. So then someone checks out your profile and it says you own a game that you do not. _________________________________________________________

But couldnt you really just remove that game yourself manually using the tools that are already available on the site??
Thats what i was thinking.. It will only track the last 5 games.. So if you never play that game again and delete it manually it wont ever show.
Dont worry, as i code the scripts more and more we will work out a simple solution.. I just like the idea of it being very darn close to accurate since its all info from xbox live.

that is a great idea to auto add the game i think because it takes time going back and forth page page adding it in yourself be good hit for new people that realy dont want to sit there and do that and it will help them out by that and if you just rent the game just delete it after your done playing it thats still not that hard as adding every single one in not saying thats hard too lmao but you know what i mean. Not everyone on this site has dsl/cable/sat connections when i first started on this site we had Dial up so i feel the pain for those who have dial up. _________________________________________________________ The one the only Scarface!!

I'm with darth here but as hobbs said you can remove it so I would be fine with it auto-adding to my games
but with the now playing I wouldn't like this because sometimes a friend brings a game over or I rent one and its crap so I wouldn't like that implemented, personally I think it would be better just for the my games and when your deleting rented & borrowed games you can just add the ones you're playing now.
P.S. I've been really busy setting up my new HDTV and speaker system the past two days but its almost done so I'll be back on more and on xbox live, and I'll submit some pictures later today _________________________________________________________

Sweet.. You will love the HD.. I cant live without it now..
Just with NOW PLAYING games. You are aware that the current game you are playing right now is tracked and displayed on our site??? Only 1 game though the most recent from your achievement or whatever you are currently playing.
This works well for finding other members playing the same games.
If already had a few thankyou's for implementing that feature..
It is great for our new members who do NOT have any friends yet
hope you are all enjoying the upgrades guys..
Keep your comments and feedback coming. It will help me determine what to spend my time on and what not to do.
Lastly:
M$ would be so pissed at me too.. 360-HQ is one of the only sites which has all the XBOX LIVE data and im not authorised like all those other sites. eg. mygamercard, xbox360acievements etc etc,
They all use M$ code which was sent to them to display the data. Our site was hand made and every feature is written from scratch.
no, i know it shows the who has last played the game (for example burnout paradise for me) but i mean it shouldn't auto add the last 5 games you have played to your now playing list, sorry if i'm being confusing _________________________________________________________
