I don't think so. I've seen forums do it, albeit not in this exact fashion. It never really became a "general" topic

oh man, this is such a whole great point of everything oh wow.


Fuck, other forums also think that banners need as many Nintendo characters as possible, ice chewing is a mega-fetish and being 10 while playing Grand Theft Auto, Manhunt and Saints Row makes you the greatest.

Is that really what you think?

Look on TSR, there's a pokemon section, a "What are you playing" thread, "games you hate/love," Video game music general, etc.
It cuts down on small topics and things that could derail other topics, but also adds that extra value of personal discussion.
Which is what TSR does a lot.




You wouldn't have to delete your own topics if you didn't make 20 a day over every little game that comes out.
I swear that you just make threads for the sake of having threads.
All of your data is easily squeezable into 1 general release thread.

Normally, a game in a big series or just one that's been something big for awhile has a much larger discussion potential.
And if one game happens to come up a lot, then make it it's own thread.

News and controversy is another subject altogether.


And don't go there with Rhythm Heaven.
Each thread was less than one page long, and each new topic was the same shit each time.

You even made two, instead of just bumping or realizing that after 3 other threads the discussion was barely there.



And let's look at the latest threads.
Minecraft, of course, is popular, been around for a long time and is ripe with topics to discuss, with even Terraria piggy-backing off of it.

Navigator, is a topic of Tyvon's, about his own game, but is mostly his own updates.

Skyrim, Mario Kart, Sonic, Super Smash, all big series games.

Most of the threads that have failed are ones of small games or games no one is following, usually being MMOs, small series (Rage, Prototype, Witcher, TOR, Borderlands 2, Rhythm Heaven etc.)
