Reply With QuoteUntil Ouya is getting movie, and cartoon/TV tie-ins, I say no. Just about all the games on Ouya are personal and independent game company projects.
Then they can use the O-RANK to sort games in the genres from good to bad going from left to right and top to bottom. Everything in Discover including the order of the genres should be O-RANKed. You should always see the most liked and most played first of everything.Originally Posted by Reaperman

You know you just opened pandora's box by mentioning it, right? I thought the same but kept my mouth shut...
ROFL... actually the one fart noise app I tried to sideload just kicked me back to the browser, yes I was a bit disappointed. I thought it'd be good for a laugh.
I guess you could say that app stinks.
You...
On topic: Judging by the complaints of most of the review sites out there, you'd think that everything on the Ouya currently are just poorly done ports. I don't see many and for that I am glad...especially the fart apps. >_>
There should at least be a "top ten" or "quick six" or some such noise to point people in the direction of the cream of the crop. I don't mean so much in terms of just overall DL/sales, but simply a way to spotlight some of the better/fun games instead of the random shuffle of fluff.
I mean, I love Ittle Dew, but I didn't even know it existed until like the 3rd time I booted up my OUYA with a 'net connection. It doesn't have to be a full on, front-and-center advert system, but just some way of saying "hey, you should check this out" short list that maybe rotates weekly. As it stands, this is kind of like the old days of standing in the game department/game rental place looking at the back of boxes and hoping those 2-3 screenshots and short description are an accurate depiction of impending fun. Hell, I'd be willing to subject myself to wading through the deluge if it meant a bigger help to others later. Even through the thankfully non-existant fart apps.
And that's not even touching the "can't see how much it is until I want to try and buy it" subject...
I'd like to be able to sort games by monetization method. Free, donate, one-time payment, evil free-to-play chicanery. A lot of software I've downloaded I wouldn't even bothered with because I don't participate in free-to-play reindeer games.
The issue I have with this is simple. There's a couple of rather niche titles still in the sandbox that I love and have played an awful lot of so far that might not make it out. SlideTapPop and Rogue AI are certainly not rubbish, just not everyone's cup of tea. And in my opinion they shouldn't still be in there.
So is it right that that these games could be shelved out of the store considering I have paid good money for them? Sure I guess I could nab the APK of every title I own for backup purposes, as such is the right for the software license I acquire. But why should I have to do this?
This is the only thing that concerns me greatly about the current system. There has been some real stinkers that have gotten out of the sandbox whilst there are a few gems in there with very few likes that will eventually continue to find an audience as time goes on. It'd be a great shame to see these disappear.
Well, they just have to make Sandbox somehow easier to explore when the number of games there is too large. Right now finding newest games in Sandbox takes time because I have to scroll a lot...
