I have been playing it outside of Steam recently. The game is great for puzzle fans (minesweeper extended).

I did my part. Now it's listed as a Popular tag.

yo how do I change the language Steam's set as in a browser? I forget and I changed it to Japanese and I can't change it back. :'(

A lot of people are already complaining about inappropriate tags. Valve's filtering system isn't robust.

Haha, I was going to remove the tag but it appears I can't.
Edit: Well, I removed my tagging of it in particular.

Oh god, I knew I shouldn't have done it but I started playing Crackcocaine V again, this time on online vs. my brother and what seemed like 5 minutes was hours and a half.
If I understand correctly this won't really be an issue in the future. As time goes on the rubbish tags will be pushed down.
I am going to admit that i used poop for one of them.
I had but not anymore as, back then, my 18 or something years old me was dumb as fuck and traded a godly DC and every game I had for a disappointing (at the time at least) secular PS2.
In perspective, that was a fairly decent exchange. I knew a guy who sold his Dreamcast to buy a printer. A fucking printer, can you imagine that? Now if he at least sold it to me, I would be okay with that. Of course that wasn't the case either, he just sold it off to some people who likely didn't at all care about video games. And you know what he did the next day after he did that evil thing? He printed.
Edit: Now it has been replaced with dongs.
Browse all recommended dongs.

Adding tags is something that can be done so easily and passively though, it seems deadly easy for people to organize and brute force something through. At least with the reviews system it's limited to a lengthier submit process and requires ownership of the game to contribute.
Yeah, this is bound to be a fuckup of even greater proportions than Greenlight was.

Does anyone think that Valve is going to switch to a blue theme soon? Several new pages are using that theme now and Big Picture mode uses it too.
The larger the user base the more coordination it will take to pull this off.
Some larger internet forums could mess with it, like 4chan or reddit. Also it will probably suffer from zeitgeist. If a game or dev gets some bad press they are likely to get their games tagged badly.

Just went ahead and tagged every game I've ever played on Steam.
Noticed someone tagged World of Goo with World of Poop. Also noticed "feels" as one of the top tags for To The Moon. I hope the system effectively weeds this stuff out and pushes people into standardized tags (Bad; Emotional) for those kinds of descriptors. Edit: "Gone Home" is tagged "Gone Homo" :/

I'm going to start tagging games with "visceral".
And if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell somewhere around here.
Anything with a framerate cap "cinematic"

One of my recommended tags is "Dress Up."
Also there are no games tagged "Dress Up."
Huh?

also where are my dress-up games
also where is my Mr. Dressup shooter game
Edit: Now it has been replaced with dongs.
I'm just wondering when the "Saoirse" tag's going to show up, and how long it'll take for it to be recommended to JaseC.

There needs to be a SteamGAF Approved tag and it needs to be on Bad Rats.

In all seriousness though, I think it'd be useful to tag games with 3rd party DRM, such as Uplay or GFWL.

Someone just added "Press X to win" to Arkham Asylum.
What about "compelling textures"?

It's not so bad given that the popular / visible tags are:
- Adventure
- Indie
- Exploration
- Story Rich
Didn't even know about those. Both look to be excellent games.... ie my kind of games!
Yep, first thing I tried too.

I had but not anymore as, back then, my 18 or something years old me was dumb as fuck and traded a godly DC and every game I had for a disappointing (at the time at least) secular PS2.
Also, is NullDC the current standard for DC emulation? I'm kinda eager of re-play both Shenmues, as I re-bought them recently! ^^
EDIT: now that I think of it, I also have a Dreamcast, so why bother emulating?
(or are the graphics improvements worth it?)
Yeah, Nulldc seems to be the best option for a Dreamcast emu still, even though it hasn't been updated in a couple of years. Everything i throw at it runs fine, 60 fps and rendering at 1080p. It also has widescreen hacks, which while they make most games look glitchy are still kinda neat.
The worst offenders are the misspelled ones.
I'd predict a month or two before it can then be tuned up a bit. I do worry about spoilers becoming tags for a short time. They might be better off with a system for reporting that kind of thing

Stop tagging things "Not Half-Life 3" *shakes head*
The impressive thing about Steam's approach is that by giving the community the opportunities to shape how content is organized, people do take a certain ownership and responsibility. When people care about a platform, collectively they're going to make it better.
There will be some silly or stupid tagging, but others will weed such instances out eventually.

Well at least it is accurate.
edit: I couldn't care less what the community thinks a game should be tagged as. I want to be able to tag the games in my library and sort and filter by logical combinations of tags.

Or even just a basic rating system.
Edit: That actually might lead to more trolling opportunities.
Seriously?!
Shocking! >.>
And now I'm going to have to fire up Steam and see what's been recommended for me, tag-wise. I should probably brace myself for disappointment.

Did you get/play the DLC? To be honest trying that was the major reason I picked up the game (sorry if answered, long thread)
<GOT Character> dies horribly in episode <X>
People tagging things as "Not a Game" just disappoint me. I get not liking a game, I understand style of play not being for someone, but just outright dismissing something because it's not EXACTLY what they want from other games is just rubbish.
For something that is a game, I thank corrosivefrost for No Time To Explain.
