Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands is merged!
Good policy but lot of these start out as mods. pretty much everything associated with half-life. killing floor 1, etc. is way older than it seems. Not sure how youād even track release dates of stuff that is āin alphaā before steam came around so it sounds foolish to me to worry about it. I wonder if the grouvee panel of new games coming out could more or less become wonky from the re-release dates of various ports of stuff like GTAV Ark Surival Evolved, tablet to PC ports, etc. Itās commmon these days and not going away. Also small games are not going to be something you could trust GB to get release dates right. since itās user fed data and it could even be exploited to promote games. I myself made a typo when making a page on GB, and was just too lazy to bother changing it. so, they dont check the facts necessarily. (Radiation Island page is mine) Fortunately if the game is small itās likely that no user would care anyway what the release date is.
Both Neighbors from Hell games are merged. I guess a British person couldnāt find them since they werenāt spelled with a U
Type:Rider is merged.
Color Symphony is merged.
Shadows on the Vatican is merged.
Kingdom Rush is merged.
Iāve merged a bunch of games this morning. Iāll get to the other ones soon!
This isnāt necessarily a duplicate, but Iām curious on how I should go about doing this.
A game called Rituals was recently in the Freedom Humble Bundle. Itās in the Grouvee database, but not the GB database. If I add it to the GB database (which I have the ability to do), will this mess up the Grouvee database? Will the entries need to be merged afterwards?
It will add a duplicate to the database on our end, but thatās OK. We can merge them. Iād rather it be in the Giant Bomb database since more people have eyes on the data there and will theoretically update it if need be.
I will do so, thanks.
I merged Dragon Riders. I used the entry that has the game title as two words, but added an alias for the one word entry as well. It is hard to figure out which is the correct title of this game. The book series is one word, but the box art really makes it look like two words. Either way, the older entry is probably the better one to use.
Badland is merged! Thanks!
Thatās very perceptive of you! Perception has been merged.
Unturned is merged now!
Moirai is merge! I wonder why the years released were so off on the two entries.
I think Iāve gone through and merged every request in this thread at this point. Let me know if I missed anything!
I didnāt respond to everyone necessarily, but if your post is deleted, I merged it.
Could you merge Rituals?

There are pages for Shovel Knight and Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment, but there is no page for Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows. Iām not sure if there should be a separate page for each campaign or if they should all be merged under Shovel Knight.
I donāt know what to do with this one. Iāve actually been thinking about how to handle it. Originally it is one game called Shovel Knight, which then received the Plague Knight DLC. The two are not (were not) distinct. Hence they donāt have disparate database entries. Specter of Torment was supposed to follow that model, but Yacht Club changed their plans late in development. Specter of Torment will still be free to people who already own the game, but Yacht Club has unbundled the DLC and is now selling them separately for people purchasing for the first time. Thus there are three distinct games: Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope, Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows and Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment. Eventually there will be a fourth starring King Knight.
My Problem is that there are people who own the game as Shovel Knight with all DLC under the original model, and other people who will own the games as separate titles. I am debating whether to rename Shovel Knight to Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope, or to leave the existing entry and create a separate Shovel of Hope entry. since Plague of Shadows will be available as a standalone purchase, I assume that will need an entry also. Iām leaning toward the following database entries:
- Shovel Knight (original)
- Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope
- Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows
- Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment
- shovel Knight: unnamed King Knight title
That is unless anyone has a compelling argument against.
