Some of these just get complicated on what to do with them. All the Titan Quest DLC nonsense is confusing. It also brings up some questions on how to handle certain game data. Like should we have two separate entries for Titan Quest and Titan Quest Anniversary edition? Or should Anniversary Edition be considered a release, or just an expanded release? Game databases are way more complicated than they need to be.
I’ve merged & updated, but can anyone shed light on whether it’s just “Blade of Darkness” or should be “Severance: Blade of Darkness?” re: this cover art Severance: Blade of Darkness - Wikipedia
Okay! I’m back after doing some digging, and here’s what I found:
The game is actually called Severance: Blade of Darkness, Blade: The Edge of Darkness. Why do you call it Blade of Darkness?
At the time the game was released it had different names in different regions. The Spanish speaking community knows it as Blade: The Edge of Darkness, in Europe it was called Severance: Blade of Darkness, while in North America it was known as Blade of Darkness. These names appeared based on the fact the game was distributed in retail (there was no digital distribution at that time) by different companies in these regions and each of them wanted to highlight something they believed is more important for the local gamer. Nowadays we have one global market and we’ve decided to use the most common element between these three names - “Blade of Darkness”.

Same game, “Sky Shark” is the North American title and “Flying Shark” elsewhere outside Japan. “Hishou Zame” and “Hishouzame” would be good aliases to have in the database too
I’m not able/not sure how to do this. There are two franchise entries for Ni no Kuni.
One leads to these titles:

@peter Dominique Pamplemousse and Dominique Pamplemousse in “Combinatorial Explosion” won’t let me save because of special characters lol
The description should be
“In this sequel to 2013’s breakout musical hit, Dominique Pamplemousse in “It’s All Over Once The Fat Lady Sings!”, our favourite genderqueer private detective discovers that, through the power of multiple endings from the previous game, they have been cloned! Join the two Dominiques as they traverse surreal locations and interrogate increasingly bizarre characters in order to answer a very important question: which one of them is canon? There is also plenty of singing. And feelings. And, of course, singing about feelings.”
The title should be - Dominique Pamplemousse & Dominique Pamplemousse in “Combinatorial Explosion!”
(ampersand, quotes, and exclamation point haha)
The rest are all set.
Perhaps not a right thread for this, but I’ve added a game to the database, that is still waiting to be approved. It is a duplicate entry - I’ve just realised, so please just remove/do not approve the new addition, as this already exists in the database. Apologies!
