We need better recommendations for the NeoGAF group.
It kinda sucks that it seems like only group Admins get to review the games. It'd be ideal if there was a separate "reviewer" member level that allows you to review without full group admin-level access.
Essentially, I'd totally review stuff, but I can't (and I'm a little upset about it). :'(
I actually made my own group to do curator-stuff.

Yeah. Thats one thing thats a bit strange.
It would be good if I can give some people "curator" rights in the GAF group.
Sorry, I was making a disparaging joke about myself.
Damn you for reading my posts!
Still hesitating on if I want to do a 'curation' or not.

GAF's curation list would have to include every game on Steam.
Bad rats would be, "One of the most gifted games within SteamGAF!"
Of all the people and companies scrambling to curate, I feel that TotalBiscuit is one of the few that would try to be genuine about his thoughts.
His GOG.com strategy game recommendation list is what gives me this impression.

Says this on the curator page: "The Jim Sterling Collection RecommendsThe Jim Sterling Collection

Quality games on Steam that aren't absolute YouTube-fodder trash!"
Continues to recommend CoD: MW3.
Yeah no.
Yep lol I'm already spending too much time reading through some of that stuff.

Yeah this seems particularly annoying. As a big group of people though, it would be possible to have multiple reviews of games that could even conflict. So I'm not sure what the solution should be
He definitely pokes fun at himself with the 9.5 comment.
Is it though? People recommending anime crap all over the fucking place. I didn't ask for this

How do you know he wasn't actually being serious?

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.
Welp, they'll be happy
It's nice that these figures are on the store page now so I can finally calculate this correctly without having to query an API.

(As a side note, some Valve employees emailed me encouraging me to keep the thumbs up / thumbs down icons where they are because they prefer them the way Enhanced Steam does them to the way this is done by default now.)

I'm surprised Metal Gear Rising isn't already on GAF's curated list.

He removed it lol.
"Not interested titles will not be recommended to you and will not appear in featured areas."
By "in featured areas", do they mean on the front page during sales, etc.? I'm reluctant to dislike anything now for fear that Steam will "helpfully" decide not to display it if it goes on sale - there are a lot of things I personally might not be interested in, but that I'd give a heads-up to friends about if they were to go on sale.
I wish there was a more transparent way to "teach" the AI what you do and don't want to see. "Show me more like this." "Don't show me games of this type." (I'd want to do that with F2P games, since Steam seems to be recommending a million of those to me right now.) "Show me games with the tag ____________". Etc.

It is now.
It is a bit shitty, like electroflame said, that only group admins can post recommendations.
The recommended queue would feel less like work if it would stop suggesting shit you definitely don't want.
Would it have been better if they'd waited to overhaul every inch of Steam before pushing this live?
at last put a blue background on activity?

Maybe, but then again, considering how shit the formatting is for the store page, maybe it's better that they didn't.
Mmh, I would say yeah, totally. But then again 25 years is a long time ( '^_^)

Made a badge for Elminage Gothic after playing for a bit and getting all the card drops, as well as the cards from a friend who completely doesn't care about making badges.
about 10 minutes later this appears in my inventory:

Is it? There is inconsistent issues with the client and store style.
Not yet.

You'll be curated, whether you like it or not.
I'm not surprised, really.
I like that there's at least some filtering options on the Weeklong deals page, but how is there no "don't show already owned" option? That just seems silly. And always having to view 25 at a time? What is this, 1996?
Also, anyone have an opinion on Ironclad Tactics? I remember being interested when it was first released but it sort of fell off my radar. Looks like it's due for bundling but 75% off is a bit tempting.

I only say "oddly" because before the store went live, Valve (and by extension, a lot of indie developers who previewed the system with them) said it was going to be the best thing ever.

I like the blue color, still need to work on some elements that aren't fitting.

The revolution has begun, get curated m8.
It's all so much to take in at the moment, I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

I think it was because we all assumed we would have more control.
My biggest gripe is curator's im not even a part of having comments above the reviews.
Yes.
I've already seen hate speech and random spoilers for movies on random game pages.
Great idea, Valve.
