guess i've been playing too much Rising?
No such thing.
Could it be a reference to Allen Iverson?

Wait what, we were just talking about adding a tag system and revamping categories like 2 days ago, therefore aliens brah.

listen to the mad man
Didn't buy it yet. Considering buying it. Going back and forth. I will say that mechanically, I don't see any way that the game would support harder hordes. It's very frustrating how it deals with multiple enemies. And the weapons you get in the DLC take up inventory spaces, which are already so limited that you can't carry more than a few weapons to begin with so presumably you'd throw almost all the DLC weapons away pretty near immediately.
Not if it's like PSN where only people who bought it can rate it. I will gladly call something out as garbage even if I paid for it.
I'd like to be able to filter my library by genre so I can ascertain how many F2P games I have.
It would really help you delineate your games.

Sounds like something interesting to try out. Thanks for the detailed impressions.
Agreed.
So far I've been using Character Action game, Shmup, Fighting, 2D Fighter, etc. Opinions shouldn't be tags, my goodness.

Yeah this is not really interesting and I definitely won't go in and rate games on the store, IF it doesn't even carry over to my library as a sortable option. Also I like the +is not HL3 tag
.Adventure games like Wolf Among Us, Jazzpunk, Gone Home, etc, as well as Visual Novels, titles like Papers, Please, SpaceChem, and more. Hell, even Pac-Man had it for a bit.
I don't know why I expected any different. Too much Pirates! and time spent in good communities like this made me forget.
Then how you do classify games like Gone home and the Stanley Parable? Non games are exactly what there are.
And be careful with buzzwords like "Metroidvania". I can understand wanting to play something that is similar to something else, but just from reading the forum, people go overboard. "Oh, your 2D character moves left AND right? Metroidvania".
I'm exaggerating, but the gist and all.

Experimental.

aw yeah
I predict tons of misplaced "roguelike" tags.

Fortunately we still get the benefit of having objective tags regardless of all the other ones.
What are your opinions of hate plus? I was thinking of getting it but I'm not sure if I've ever tried anything like it
If you guys are planning on buying Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+, you might want to pass on it if you have the console version already.
If I was using the "Not A Game" tag, the only game I would use it on would be The 39 Steps, because it really isn't a game.
Mine are: Visual Novel, Overpriced Port of a Mobile Game, Tower Defense, Hardcore Restaurant Sim, and Puzzle (for the Hitman games).
Maybe "overpriced" is an opinion, but meh.
I hope so. The steam dev days talks indicate a similar thing for the first 60 days of the steam reviews system going up. The good jokes stay but it's mostly strong meaningful reviews being voted up
But aren't most/all mobile game ports overpriced? Kidding.
Super Hexagon is priced fairly.

There's a whole Software section on Steam. Do we need to tag all of them as not a game?
It's 20% 3MCRLE-CG7AF1-G7T08U
Yeah but counter-examples:
There have been a few others where the devs did the work, stripped out all the microtransaction crap, etc, etc, but not enough that I can think of any examples beside this.
Also, that reminds me:
I can't believe nobody tagged Super Hexagon as a roguelike yet.
I was disappointed =/
It's not a bad 'game' but it just doesn't live up to its predecessor.
My biggest gripe is that the story feels so dissociated from any of the characters that it just becomes a big "whatever..." as opposed to Analog were you felt at the heart of the story.
Also, some minor things:
- no ending list in menu
- a lot more illusion of choice
- without cheating, you can only play one game day per 24 real time hour (I changed my windows clock because no effin' way am I waiting)
Still, overall, I'm satisfied with it. It just feels like it could have been a lot more.
Are they less active and less skill, challenge, or luck based as Devil May Cry 3 or Super Hexagon or Spelunky? Of course, but I still have rules to play by, a challenge/a goal to achieve, and enjoyment that can be gained from it which is the very nature of what a game is.
I call them Story games, experience games, immersive games, atmospheric games, but no matter what adjective I use, I call them games.
Edit: First Person Adventure also works for Gone Home, as you are putting together a puzzle as a goal and that's what the entire genre is about.
The whole "not a real game" is almost always just a bad dismissive argument of saying, oh that's not a real game, it's a fake game, it's stupid and dumb and you shouldn't waste your time with it when you can play A REAL game. Non-game is specifically a branding title to target consumers who look down upon games as saying "it's okay, it's not a childish thing, it's fine for you to play this".
You want to know what isn't a real game? You Need A Budget. Why? It's not designed for entertainment, it's not designed for off-time relaxation, it's not designed for a goal or challenge to achieve a sense of fun from; It's software designed for work purposes.
Now I understand the reasoning some prefer using "non-games", either branding or their own categorising and I can accept that even if I personal disagree. My problem lies in those who are utterly dismissive and insulting toward something because they don't like it or they want to look down upon it. I don't like Grand Theft Auto IV at all, the only use I could get from it would be listening to the radio in game, but it's neither fair nor reasonable for me to say "it's not a real game" because of that.

From the C:LOS2 demo thread...
As we already know it was delayed, it's safe to assume we won't get it this winter, spring being optimistic choice then, summer - realistic and autumn - pessimistic. In last case, we won't see the second game until 2015.
I still hope it's spring and then we will be getting the second game next winter.

I just used this tag on Surgeon Simulator 2013, since it actually involves viscera.
Oh! Analog was the one I was referring to. Shame about the sequel but I guess that means the original wasn't to bad?
Oh, we got tagging.
The most annoying thing about steam until now was totally inadequate genres of games on steam. I mean gog can do this right, shinyloot can do even better, even desura sometimes can, but steam just can't.
Let's hope tags will fix it somewhat.
you are trying to scare me?!

not yet, no
You haven't actually clicked on the little + for anything yet, have you?
Innocence, so precious.
I agree wholeheartedly, my good sir. The definition of a game most of those people are using seems to be "action-adventure games and some of those belonging to some other genres, but very narrowly".
I'd still contend that we need better genres, but this is at least a start.
you know, people don't make such mistakes without reasons, we do need better genres! Now I see it! the light in the end of the tunnel.
