I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
lash pls
I dont know why, but i was thinking it was going to launch on 6 Oct, not 6 Nov. A little disappointed now.
I needed some kind of social metric (people are talking about this game) and YT + Twitch were the easiest ones to use. Facebook + Twitter might be as useful, but they're way more complicated for my purposes.

Devil's Bluff SOUNDS interesting, but requiring 12 people means it will be impossible to play in a few months, unless they release it for free.

Here are the goals I've set for my discovery algorithm.
1. It should display good games that are liked by influencers or press, but didn't sell very well (yet).
2. It should display engaging games and should be immune against user score bombing.
3. It should give new games priority.
4. It should display games of different genres, not focusing on most engaging ones (survivalcrafts for example).
The previous version didn't pass rules #1 and #2. The YT+Twitch version doesn't pass #3 and #4. But when all metrics are combined it seems to work better than when it is relying on separate metrics.
BTW, all data is normalized by percentiles, so outliers do not affect overall results for everyone else much.

Got it, thanks for the explanation. I guess #1 and #2 are hardest to get, but YT+Twitch probably give a useful start / approximation (besides, what else do we have that is reasonably measurable and up to date). The system makes sense.
Tbqh, that sounds more like a downside to me. Witcha 3 was already damn huge, to the point that i literally wasnt able to do even half the stuff the game had to offer. Sometimes more isnt better.
Is it a principle thing?
Also another info, the developer increases the price as they add more content. There are 2 updates left, one in October and the final update will be in November. After that the game will be full-priced.
Honestly if you like rally, buying before release would probably be a better option. It's the best rally sim in ages.
Seems that many people just started the game and never bought a car
Has it got cards?

some completionists buy these games just to unlock the awful EA achievement and then refund it. next step is to wait for good sale and finish the rest then
And here was me thinking the lashbot was doing puns now
Ahhh that will explain the 4% not buying cars but idling away I guess.

I love the witchwr 3 and that honestly sounds likea negative in my books.
ya, we probably can't handle that much
I also wish Cyberpunk wasn't an open world game, I actually thought it isn't for some reason, can't remember why.

So I've made some changes to Steam Spy front page to make it as useful as Steam's old front page before the Discovery update.
I'm weighing six metrics for the last 600 games that were released on Steam to come up with "trend score" that is later used to determine the game position in the list on the front page. It looks like this.
I'm using Youtube views, Twitch viewers, user score, median playtime, players in the last week and the release date. Overall you could divide them into three set of metrics: social (YT + Twitch), player engagement (user score + playtime) and commercial (players and release date).
I've tried to come up with this before based on Steam's data alone, but it just wasn't possible. The Steam data isn't enough to rank games - I needed social metrics and YT+Twitch are pretty good for this.
Fun fact - if I remove commercial metrics (players in the last two weeks) the list won't change much
Consider it my Discovery update for Valve's Discovery update
Awesome.
Dammit, I bought my GTX 980 last month and didn't came with anything :/Seems like Siege and Syndicate are going to be bundled with Geforce
probably uplay key
I wouldm't have wanted AC anyway, but I could have traded it with a friend for a Burger King Whopper or something like that.

half man, half bot
Really interested in how "single-player" will be. Not that much in the PvP aspect.
That's a nice amount of gold right there. Glad to see I have some good influence on you
Time to watch some guide videos...

But Uplay is all sexy now with it's 'We're not trying to copy Steam, honest' makeover it got recently.
Just look at all those Collect-a-thon games!
the sexy.
My play through of the Assassin's Creed games is annoying because I don't have the series on any one platform.

You mean Samurai Warriors 4-2? It's the usual musou fare, my lappy runs it fine and the graphics are OK, there is A LOT to unlock and upgrade, and stages have some decent side missions.
Overall if you enjoy Musou games, you'll like this one.
One gripe I have atm is that in order to 'move faster' through a stage you must call your horse. Not a big issue but your attacks while riding a horse is reduced so you don't exactly kill many enemies while riding on the thing xp
Here's a review from Metro.co.uk
http://metro.co.uk/2015/10/06/transformers-devastation-review-bayonetta-in-disguise-5423610/
I'm enjoying it, there may not be a lot of combo options, although your attacks are based on the melee weapon you've equipped, but dodging attacks is pretty fun and makes you feel untouchable, especially if you do it constantly against the Combiner boss xp
Grimlock is a pretty heavy guy though and his Dino form takes some getting used to.
If you want that trademark Platinum games action like in Bayo or MG Rising you'll find it here.
True dat!
