Yeah, I know, I didn't mean to relate the two cases here. In the second example I was mostly referring to the same thing we did a couple of weeks ago regarding Shadow of Colossus/Ico. Thank you for taking care of things :)

[QUOTE="TechSmurfy"]

Also, another important thing. I would submit it on GF, but it's too hard to open a conversation with the approvers via the submission process. :/

All Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (Director's Cut) (GF | GS) releases should be merged into Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (GF | GS). The Director's Cut releases are all japanese, and the western releases were all based on the Director's Cut. The original release was only released in Japan and is the only one that should remain separate. I have no idea why the director's cut got a separate gamespace for the western releases in the first place.

(now I just wonder, if by merging, all the faqs/reviews etc. will be moved as well, that's why I'm discussing it here)

PS: Reminds me of that other major issue with FFX releases we talked about, but I won't get into that right now. Baby steps. :)

I'll get back to you on this.

Any updates?

Also, another gamespace example that needs merging: Resident Evil Code: Veronica X(PS2/GC) and (PS3/X360)

Off-topic edit: Oh, and the new search system has serious issues, really. I've lost count on how many games I was unable to find via a simple search (just an example) so I have to visit the GS link via GameFaqs, or do a google search. Ok I know, this belongs to a new thread, I just thought I'd share it in case it has been reported already. Don't want to create another "useless" thread.

I'm sorry, Drac, if this has been mentioned before, but why is Shadow of the Colossus (PS3) split from the original and ICO (PS3) from the original, while other hd versions, like, let's say, Metal Gear Solid 2/3 remain under the same gamespace?

I'm not defending barto89 or anything, I just want to underline the possibility, for him or other users facing similar problems, that they're not doing anything wrong; it could be a system hiccup and those not experienced with GS may get frustrated too quickly. Back in my early days (lol) I was facing the same issue. Nothing was being added to my lists no matter how I tried. And I was ready to post here when suddenly my repeated tries came fruitful. From then, and after a lengthy effort to complete my collection on GS, I have observed that there are a couple of hours in the day (in my GMT+2 timeline it's around 8-10am) when such functions stop working, and I have learnt to wait patiently for these hours to pass. So I'm assuming that it's just 'maintenance hours' for the GS database, or simply a malfunction with ajax routines. Either way, I now know how to be patient with the dynamic website era, which is still at its early developing stages, and that's the only advice I can give to all the users that are facing issues. Give it at least a few hours time before deciding on reporting a bug, just to make sure the claim is valid.

I don't know what you tried (something to do with conflicting titles perhaps?), but issue seems FIXED :)

note: there are 153 users that have it on their list already, so I'm gonna assume that everything was just fine some time ago

gracias

Didn't want to create a new thread in case it's just a simple fix for Drac to handle.

I followedAlone In The Dark 4 for PS2, but when I try to add it to my collection (or my now playing list) via my profile, says "Not Available for My Collection/My Now Playing List". Something to do with its release cancelled for the other regions besides the EU?

Thanks in advance.

As a test I removed the "cancelled US release" so let's see if that fixes it when a few hours have passed from this post. If that doesn't work I have no clue what to try next but I'll try and think of something.

Nope. Still "Not available for My Collection". Is this an issue for all users, or is it just me?

Title: Metal Gear Solid: Twin Pack
Platform: PlayStation
Gamefaqs ID: 671072

I submitted this compilation on GF and got it accepted, but they forgot to add which games it consists of, so that they would appear under the releases tab and the faqs tab. So before adding it to GameSpot, if it's not too much trouble, please add that it consists of Metal Gear Solid (197909 - Platinum edition release) and Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions (197911 - Special Missions release, as is the title in EU), released in Europe.

Yeah I know, it was just too off-topic to post there, since there's no game info 'missing' or false, it's more of technical errors.
