The original is great. It's a very passive visual novel (-ish).
Very worthy experience (and if you don't have either, get the Analog + Hate pack)

Went to the DE:HR page, saw the "I never asked for this" tag, left satisfied.

One of the recommended tags in my extended list is "procedural death labyrinth", which I actually kind of like.

Trying out the tags. Recommended for you: RPG
Well ok, I love RPG games, so let us see what this tag has to offer. Click on Top Sellers:
Rust, Risk of Rain, 7 Days to Die, Starbound, Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Payday 2, Hegemony
Not exactly what I'd class as RPG.
Having a tag for "fighting" sounds good... but then you get Megabyte punch and Sleeping dogs.

They also have Dead Man's Draw listed under "strategy".
That's depressing
it's not gonna work, is it? meaningful tags, I mean.
I clicked recommended, so apparently The Banner saga is strategy and Neverwinter is JRPG

I guess what it comes down to is that tags are a good idea...it is just that the general steam community should not be permitted to ever use them.... or I guess vote on deals or post on the steam forums.
I'm not sure what I expected.
Look at the shit people post on Steam Community forums.
The same people will be tagging the games.

There's already a GFWL and Games for Windows Live tag for those that want to help get that as a popular tag.
Antyhing that has been marked with RPG, Adventure, Action, Strategy, Massively Multiplayer, Casual, Indie and a few others are Valve created tags that existed prior to the tag system. These are what developers labeled their titles originally.

I can't be the only one who thinks this is getting hilarious, some men just want to watch the world burn.

Hey guys, this is just the first day of Beta. It will get better right?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
When I introduced this feature (almost a year ago) into Enhanced Steam for DLC, I immediately came up with similar results to what is happening now.
Unfortunately the only way I had to get around this was to a) limit the tags that were available and b) moderate the process.
That was the only way I could come up with to make tags both meaningful and relevant to the content.

I think they are already doing something similar, the not hl 3 tag is already seemingly deleted.
The community itself is waaaaay past the beta stage.

I don't know that I trust this thread to be any better at the tagging business than SPUF dudes.
You can't take those words back. Now we must do tag battle to resolve this horrible crisis.

If they limit the amount of tags available then the feature is pointless. They might as well tag the games themselves at that point.

Just need two sets. On steam startup, "Do you like Bioshock Infinite, Yes/No" and then display the appropriate tags.
Because yes, they would be quite different
I am ashamed to admit it, and I know it's completely wrong, but I couldn't help laughing. Like, pretty hard. And every time I read that I laugh again. Something's definitely wrong with me.
I am a fucking piece of shit, I'm sorry
Great thanks for the help. Also yes, huge deus ex fan. The original has a nice range of "why contain it" "a bomb" "i never asked for this" and personal favourite "electric old men"

A famous FF7 spoiler needs to be a thing.

listen to the mad man
Hopefully those will be wiped long-term. Casual and Action are especially shitty.

Valve pls
How is yours all blue? What section is that?
Yup, didn't take long, it's already there.

I don't think there is anything inappropriate with that name per se, it just definitely should not be used as a tag, for the very least because it's a spoiler. Why do you think something should be wrong with you? Do you think it's homophobic? I really don't see anything homophobic about it, it's just a silly pun.
That reminds me, by the way, that there is a video with the same name. I have no idea what they wanted to say with it and if it's supposed to be negative commentary on the original game I don't agree with it, but it's pretty funny as a parody. A pretty accurate depiction of what happens in that game plotwise, sans all the characterization and period (no pun intended) stuff, of course.

I disagree. If they want a lot of diversity they could have choose 1,000 or even 10,000 tags that are available (which have been curated/moderated) rather than letting people type in their own.
It prevents things like "nanomachines, son" from being a tag.
Make relevant tags - then make a process whereas people can request new ones.

The all blue theme should be coming to Steam sooner than later. I think that's what they are going to switch to prior to the official launching of SteamOS and Steam Machines.
Thanks but I think I'll pass as I remember playing a demo, or was it a free weekend? Wasn't impressed to say the least.
Not that I know of but I use GMG once in a blue moon these days and can't really be bothered doing time limited achievements for a few cents. Even though.... can't you just use SAM?
Sorry, bit late on picking this one up. If we detect anyone using SAM we ban their account/blacklist and report to Steam. It can also affect your ability to earn credit or discounts with GMG. So it's not really worth it - but then again I would say that.
PF Rewards might not be for everyone, so naturally we're trying to build cool features for our community, but we think it's got a lot of potential. Just working out the kinks of the beta and finding more ways to introduce variety - particularly when it comes to rewards for new releases. I'll be doing a blog post that goes into in more depth later this week, but feel free to leave me any questions here and I'll do my best to answer them.
I agree, some tags are false. For example Brothers has Online Co-Op which is a lie
and boylove
When it comes to gaming, the only genre that's been clearly defined is the roguelike-- it just has the most idiotic/pedantic definition possible. Everything else, we just get debates on: this isn't adventure, yes it is, no that is point and click, what if i point my gun and click does that make quake an adventure game, etc.
Could always have a bunch of people settle upon genres and genre definitions, set up a wiki with those definitions and categories of games according to them, have a list of all steamapp_ids tied to their new "correct" genre, and then have Enhanced Steam poll that list in lieu of tags?
Nah, the "fucking piece of shit" tag refers to games like Infestation Z.I am a fucking piece of shit, I'm sorry
It really is great. The only reason I haven't used it since I read an article proposing it is because it's fun to see people lose their shit over what is and isn't a roguelike.
