Bit of a problem with this past suggestion I did.


The first link contained a download.
These two were merged and ended up outside of the downloads section.

I confess that I have no idea what to do at the moment, but it will be solved soon, that I promise

@Archienine Another +2!

This thread got locked because one of the threads that was merged into it was locked due to spoilers. The spoilers in that thread were cleaned up by one of the previous mods and I don't think there was a spoiler issue in the other threads but maybe I'm wrong. It's up to you whether you want to unlock it though.

What's your game developer "Dream Team"?

I've always wanted Shinji Mikami and Hideki Kamiya to team up and create the ultimate action game together. While I'm at it, maybe I'd have art by Tetsuya Nomura and music by Shoji Meguro or Yoko Shimomura (I have so many composers and artist that I like its hard to pick one haha). I don't know...

The dream game by the dream dev team?!

My suggestion is to not merge that last thread with the other two.
First two are very similar. Last one is franchise crossover with not many people describing the type of game and no mention of developers.

Any plans on merging all the "Rejected" and "Won't Fix" hack/translation reports into it's own megathread? It would cut down on around 100 threads.

 

[JustLooking456]

Sorry guys, I promise I'm not ignoring you, for some reason I'm not getting notified whenever someone posts despite it being a "watched" thread. Weird.

I'm off work today so I'll have all these merged around lunchtime!

@Glimbo That is an awesome idea! I'll look into it!

Edit 2- Foiled again, I got called into work! As soon as I get home I'll start merging like a madman!

Just to give an update: I asked the team that handle these reports and they have requested that threads marked "Rejected" and "Won't Fix" remain as they are. For the meantime, that section of the Forums will just be compiling/merging "Solved" threads. :]

I have a question, supossedly you gain a duplicate hunter award (or rank) at 10 points but i have 15 and none award received.
I mean, i will post duplicates regardless if i have a award or not but i wonder if is because a bug happened or simply you all forgot about that.
