Most commented stories, filters and news areas for Injustice and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale added to EventHubs

Awesome as usual, EventHubs. I wonder what's next in the upgrade timeline.

Great stuff. Now all we need is a DOA filter.

I just filtered out PS All Stars and this story disappeared from my main page feed.

@DevilMaySpy

Oops, just confirmed that bug, will have it fixed right away. Sorry about that.

Thanks for letting us know, though.

I dont give a phuck, I watch everything ya post and if I dont care about that mvc story or that ps all star article I just skip it myself

I don't want some stupid thing about most commented. Where is the avoid pointless "pro players" interviews and random idiocies.

I like news and information pieces not random gossip like how players think they could have done better in a tournament.

finally I can hide PSAS news :D

@KissofPoison

The stories that are posted generally fall under the stuff 'people want to see' or 'what we think they want to see based on past history.'

We generally keep a close eye on how news items perform. The stories you mention generally resonate with our readers, and quite a few people check them out.

I can see this isn't your cup of tea, though. Unfortunately, I don't have a better solution for you besides "skip over that story," as creating anything else (a filtering system) at this time would be fairly extensive and take quite a bit of doing on our part. Still, definitely saw your feedback and will keep it in mind.

Also, the bug that DevilMaySpy mentioned has been fixed (or should be).

Great! Now we can lose the folks who click on an article to trash it-then say the game needs a news filter. Ideally they were serious about using those filters.

thank you! i was wondering when injustice would be added via filter option ( no offence as everyone has opinions). eventhubs you guys are awesome! are you guys ever gonna have your own streaming sessions per game almost like panda x gaming does with AE?

props to eventhubs have come a long way

i think some upgrade should go into the comment section cuz replying @youthere or @22 is kinda silly, if there's a script where a click takes you straight to the comment being replied to that's even better

@Catalyst

I'd love to see that the new "Most Commented"-Box would fit in style with the other two boxes at the right. So make it more width and add a blue. (maybe "Most commented Stories" as title and then "past 14 days" in the blue line; or "News | Comments"). that would look a lot more dope I'd assume. Also, the titles wouldn't be paragraphed into 5 lines.

@EnsignHiro

We generally try to innovate rather than covering the same ground other people are doing in the community. PandaXGaming, Peaceful Jay and many others provide great live stream content, so, in my personal opinion, there isn't a huge reason to go in there and try to re-invent the wheel.

We try and use our time and resources to bring new things to the table, and shine the spotlight on notable things the community is doing as well.

Not to say everything we do is 100% innovative and mind blowing, it's just the general direction we're aiming for. If someone else is already doing a good job, there isn't a huge reason for us to step into that territory.

@Kara

Comment improvements are definitely on our list, specifically replying and some other bells and whistles we've wanted to add for some time. Don't have an ETA on those yet, but it's something we plan on tackling in the future.

Is it so hard for people to just skip the news you don't want to see?

No....They've got to comment and spread hate.Illogical stuff....
#firstworldproblems,fools

Either way,thanks for the update Catalyst.

I'd like to see a streamed tournament for scrubs or would be pro's. I love the website i personally don't care about the filters as i like tracking a games progress before i form an opinion also i just like news in general.

In my opinion (no hate intend), I belive this news filter thing is nothing but a childish thing, and plain narrow-minded.

Just because we see stuff that doesn't interest us, that doesn't even give people the right to spread hate to other games which this is the wrong way of gaming passion.

I belive people who uses news filters to certain games, is nothing but a child wanting to live in his/her dream world which doesn't exist. What people need to really do is to simply look away from certain topics, and not live like a lifeless troll. Like if I'm not interested into EVO, COD, or American media etc. I simply look away from it and handle things like a real adult.

I guess theres alot of things that these people need to learn to accept of how things work.

...just about damn time...now i can finally filter and focus on what actually interests me, instead of having to go through hundreds of stupid and pointless weekly event updates, gameplay videos of titles released ten years ago and all that just because i'm looking forward upcoming games news, like Injustice!...

Wasn't aware of this filter feature. Can finally filter out all of these crappy Capcom releases and focus on fun games.

Yay, I can filter out injustice!

Finally, now maybe all the whiners who comment on Injustice videos only to cry out they're tired of seing Injustice news can shut the hell up and let us enjoy our videos & news at peace.

@19

The majority of them are in fact either children or has a mind like one and don't know jack sh*t these days. As if they have an incentive to go on topics and waste their time, but I don't care these days, it's the FGC.

And I agree, but there isn't a whole lot of news EH covers daily, so just checking them as they update almost hourly is fine by me.

@19
I dont think you'd be a hating troll if you filter out all those games that dont interest you. I think it's very convinient, I visit eventhubs cause I like to hear about street fighter news. I would not visit eventhubs for PSAS or marvel news, so when there's a filter there is everything that interest me on one page. it's just that. moreover, if I dont see the stuff that doesnt interest me, than I'm not even tempted to write a dumb comment like "oh man! sh*t sucks! that's some boring a**-news! screw you eventhubs! I hate you and the games you like!"
and you say a mature adult looks away if he's not interested, isnt that filtering too? only it's not a website doing it for you? aint that equally "narrow minded"

@25

Ideally it's their problem for having the urge to post BS on topics they're not interested in. Even though it's a nice feature, I still think those people are being spoon fed without a doubt.

@24 Yeah, and its also the problem with the internet in general.
If I had control over the FGC, I'd make sure that trolls would have their access cut off including their internet and I would make sure that every fighter game get equal rights. It would be similar to the UK law against internet troll. Just saying

@25 The looking away if he/she is not interested without the news filter, is really how things should really go in the human nature.
Even if the news filter is the source of other peoples problem, but in reality they have to accept the way of things work including multiple news that they might not be interest. Its like saying that people must be put into cruel reality, give their lives despare, agony, and pain. The only way is overcome it, even involves altering your personality.

PSAS?
Injustice?

Filter?

Check.

90% of the most talked about stories were all SFxT, yet the "FGC" is supposed to hate this game. How laughable.

#27 ...what about the frustration of having to go through several pages just to find news regarding that ONE game you're interested in, huh? ...before that i had to go through several pages with, events info, weekly updates, tournaments and other stuff i'm not interested in just to find Injuustice news on like 3rd page! ...its ridiculous! ...Injustice and TekkenxSF (Namco's version) is the only reason i'm even staying here, so why the heck should i go through 3 pages of frystration just to find info on those two games?...tell me that!

Now I can finally filter out boring @ss AE and scrubby Marvel.

@27
wow I think you're taking this far too deep.
i agree with you that hardships in life can help you evolve as a human being. but geez, this here is a news site for videogames O_o
see, I never went into a PSAS or injustice thread and said "this game sucks" and I never hated on anybody who likes this game. I just skip those news. then this website gives me the opportunity to filter those out, and I think cool, from now on every news I see will propably be interesting. and here I see you stating that using a filter is childish and narrow minded? omg!
I mean what would you do if eventhubs featured COD news, you would not filter them, just dont read them and than this would be a mature thing to do? I've done that until now, but now that I checked a filter I'm childish?
I get that you kinda want to educate haters and trolls, but the filter of a newssite is not the root of evil. it's the same thing with general videogames in public media. they say this kid played violent videogames and thus he went amok. it's not the games, there's something wrong way deeper, in the family, social environment.
news (filter) dont create trolls and haters. they already were and EH is just another valve.

Good stuff EH.

The most commented stories box it's good, but I'd tweak a couple things:

1) The squared layout it's just... ugly. Everything in the EH layout has rounded edges, the 'most commented' box should be like that too. Also, stretch it to the right or simply center it, much better. Some bold+color to the number of comments too would also look good imo.

2) Consider making it 'most commented stories over last week', rather than 2 weeks: nobody is gonna care about about what happened 2 weeks ago, and there might also be newer updates and/or errata.

3) The banner you previously added for SFxT: can we have that for future releases too? Or was it some one time experiment?

@32 Even if the news filter exist, the only reason I called it childish and narrowminded is the concept itself in general. I'm not going to judge and say all that stuff at you or anyone eles. Besides I belive its way more important to welcome more games along with people expanding their mind and accepting more stuff. I'm not going to even say that the news filter is bad and its a problem, but I belive that there is alternate ways beside a news filter just saying.

@30 About the going through pages, theres also a search text box in the website you can also use, its says Follow & Search Eventhubs.
That is another alternative to find certain news.

We still going to have them Injustice haters on the article they know they will purchase the game in the end lol how sad

I do appreciate the filter for Injustice. Helps me find those articles faster.

Honestly i dont think people were offering sugestions because every time id see it it was alwasy so when can i filter S#itty injustice and PSAS out of my news feed cry baby talk I hated seeing that crap because they cant just scroll further and ignore it... damn 09ers

Uhm, I must say I'm with #3. We need a DOA filter next.

But thanks for your efforts so far Eventhubs. Even though that didn't get addressed yet. I'm grateful anyways.
