I was about to answer that they do, but then I realized you probably meant as in, total time played over all users, correct? For you personally they do, but for all users... That would be interesting.

Yeah, across the entire community. I'd be interested to see what the rankings would be.
What's the game with no image?
I can understand the feeling.
My WoW "played" on 2 characters was around 2000 hours.
The thing is, I know I played waaaaaaaay more Ragnarok Online back in the days than I ever played WoW.
I'm not sure I want to know how many hours I spent on RO... I'd probably question my entire youth.

You know what's better than an FOV slider? An FOV slider with FOV values.

I'll remember that.
I'll download it later then, at least finishing a short game still gives that good sensation of cleaning part of your backlog.

listen to the mad man
Half this person's entries are complaining that things that are "not visual novels" have the tag visual novel, half this person's entries are complaining that things they think are roguelikes have the tag "not a roguelike". No apparent trace of irony.
Nice. Very exciting. All I've heard are good things about the game, but I have tried to avoid too much.
I guess I'm just a boring person. All I have in my recommended section are just safe, standard tags like "RPG" or "Sci-Fi" and most of the games there are strangely appropriate. None of that crazy, dashing stuff you guys seem to get.
Just in time for my birthday (it's on 27th). Splendid.

It's still a lot of time with one game! you played other games during that decade too, I hope.
Plenty, especially RPGs and adventure games, and I've also always owned consoles. When people ask me what my favorite game of all-time is I often say it's a tie between Quakeworld and Planescape: Torment.
Quake 1 was unique in that it came around at a time when online multiplayer gaming was just getting started and it coincided with IRC coming to popularity (that's when Quakenet arose). Quake in many ways kickstarted the whole online multiplayer phenomenon, at least for shooters. So it had a skilled and very active core community surrounding it, as if you were into competitive shooters in those early couple years, you were playing Quake.
Counterstrike, Tribes, and UT made a splash later on, but I never bothered to go on to those since I felt (correctly
) that Quake was by far the superior game. Nothing else I've ever played comes close to the amount of time I played Quake, and nothing else ever could. I don't have as much time to focus on multiplayer games these days (nor do I find any of them in the shooter genre nearly as well-designed), and there's no way in general I could spend even a notable fraction of that time with a single-player game.
Same here. Kind of disappointed, but also not? I would prefer the tags to be something useful for information long term. Now, they seem more useful as comedy.

I'll admit, some of the RPG Maker tags are making me giggle. Things like Pay to Win, Yaoi Creation Tool, or tagging RPG Maker under the tag for RPG Maker developed games.
Mine are working atm (myheartisfine.jpg).

I have an xbox360 controller for playing PC games but it's HORRIBLE for any game that uses a D-pad instead of the analog stick.
So I was thinking of getting either a PS3 or PS4 controller to use just for those games since the D-pad must be better.
Does anyone have some advice on whether I should get the PS3 or PS4 controller? Like whichever one is easier to get working etc..
also, I thought I read something about the PS4 controllers having faulty triggers but not sure if it's widespread.
Any advice is appreciated!

Stick with it and wait for the inevitable Xbox One drivers.

Beard Sim is on point. Coffee? C'mon.
You need to figure out a way to make your recommended tags some sort of hipster championship. You've already got indie, beards, and coffee... now get Brooklyn and fixies on there!

lol at the latest GO patch
Valve pls

I tried it and only lasted 20 minutes. Took a couple of screenshots, and then I uninstalled the game. It may be unfair to give it so little time, but it really did bore me to tears.
I have nothing against this kind of games. I loved To the Moon and enjoyed Gone Home, but for me Dear Esther didn't have an interesting setting, the writing was boring and needlessly complicated, and walking was slow as hell.

Thanks for the video, that was hilarious.

Lol was that tag for Skyrim?
So I guess it really needs to edit the walking speed.

I was reading lots of reviews that the Xbox One controller D-pad is horrible though so it wouldn't really help to get one of those
That happens on the odd occasion.

The recommended tags for me are Indie, Strategy, Grand Strategy, Medieval and Historic. I blame CK II.
Skyrim is still weirdly absent from it, haha.
Hahahahaha.

yad yada yada....
...DayZ as a 'walking simulator'?? Nope. Maybe a 'psychopathic fetish simulator'
Gone Home's reviews are mostly negative in the same way. I don't know what people thought they were buying.

I checked Skullgirls tag and one of them is 'cursed' I laughed (sorry Lab Zero) then I got sad because it has some truth behind.

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.
Not sure if it was posted yet but there is a new "Lazy Guys Bundle"
- Beep (Steam, Desura)
- Hero of the Kingdom (Steam)
- Foreign Legion: Bucket of Blood (Steam)
- Orborun (Greenlight, Desura)
- Stonerid (Greenlight, Desura)
- Inside the Gear (Greenlight, Desura)
- Snake Blocks (Greenlight, Desura)
- Astro Emporia (Greenlight, Desura)

That's how it has always been.
Agreed.
If anyone wants to send their blood pressure sky high they should read this from the slightly hidden forum of Line Of Defense Tactics - Tactical Advantage
They've added custom tags. They recommend tags to you based on recently played games. Each tag is tied to a specific set of games.
Might be time to make the Recommended by Steam page vaguely useful and combine the two? Being pointed towards games that you've already told the system you want isn't very helpful.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, because people who are actually going to buy Gone Home probably aren't going to swayed too much by the tags in the same way someone who buys Call of Duty every year doesn't give a shit if you tag it as "the shittiest game ever".
It's a bit scary there is that really vocal and vindictive minority that will go around tagging visual novels or adventure games as non-games though, it's just ultimately depressing I think.
That's why developers should stay far away from gaming forums, you hire a community manager to do to all the PR talk, what a dumbass.
