Any way to remove things like "New on steam" and "recently updated"?
Customizable UI would be pretty nice

I suspect this is their publisher trying to get in on the F2P craze.
Is it wrong that I want this curator to show up on every store page so that it lights a fire under Valve's ass to fix this nonsense?
Perfection. Subbed.

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.

Happy birthday!
That's really impressive. Power of being a game that's fun to watch?
He does show up for me on the newest Paradox game.
Which, BTW, is not visible in the Popular New Releases and Top Sellers list, so will fly under people's radars for sure.
You had one job Volvo, one job...
That's disappointing to hear, have you had a chance to play it yet?
But through ES it would be only for the curator itself and at best for other ES users, though.
...reason why I don't use the custom profile background feature, but UI inconsistencies in curator pages could be much worse!
EDIT: thanks a lot to anyone who followed my list! Love you!
(also I'm updating it as we speak!)

Daaaamn. Good shit! Goat Sim is really fun/funny if you're willing to experiment a bit.

Procedurally generated Road Rash 2.0 just rocketed to the top of my wishlist.
Man, I loved Road Rash back in the day. This game looks great already, even in early access.
Eagerly wishlisted, but waiting til release to see how it pans out.
Isn't this exactly the same as Steam's Reviews and Tags when they launched? Until they have more data per game, it's going to be a complete mess and mostly jokes

I liked it enough to 100% it, but the issues I had were that the combat lacked the oomph that the main series has, the detective mode wasn't well implemented because moving a cursor around each environment gets tedious, and the map made route planning unnecessarily difficult. I think the game would have worked better if they had stuck to a 2d plane rather than going for the 2.5d for nifty depth. I do agree that Guacamelee is a better metroidvania. It also has a really nice oomph to it's combat too.

The worst part is...the premise sounds really awesome for a SP Sleeping Dogs 2. Add in the F2P MMO and, yeah. I'm out.

One of the nice things (that I've been wanting / asking Valve to do for years) is to properly ID each element on the app pages so that Enhanced Steam can let people customize exactly what they'd like to see on the page. I could never do this on the old app pages, because if Valve ever changed or moved an element it would break that functionality.
Now, each page on the element is properly identified, so I can add customization options to the page. Don't want to see the "Curators Recommend..." box with PewDePie, PC Gamer, and other curators you don't follow in the middle of the page? Now you won't have to.
Of course, this is the sort of stuff that I can't wait to dive into after I'm done fixing the existing features.

oh god. I didn't even finish the trophies on the 2nd area they added.
I was wondering when they were going to update the UI after the Steam icon randomly became a shade of blue.
I'm actually loving the new look. Though I feel profiles need updated too.
It seems that the change to the tag system worked, my recommendations now are much closer to what would be an informed recommendation. Also like that you can "hide" games in queue, not interested etc.
I love that it now tells you a summery of reviews on the store page, how many reviews, what % are positive etc, over 95% overwhelmingly positive etc, that might of been there before but I never noticed it, it's certainly useful.
Can't say I love that you can't just scroll through top sellers by 10 at a time and instead have to go to a new page, but that's seriously just a minor inconvenience.
Overall a good update in my view.

Congrats on the new Patreon Milestone by the way (none-too-subtle hint to everyone who hasn't had a look in yet)

It seems like one of the biggest complaints I got over night was people really not liking this section. It seems like a pretty boneheaded move by Valve to show curators on this section that you don't follow, but even more boneheaded that it shoes curators who write reviews in other languages:
Thanks! It might be a week or two before I can complete that "new server" milestone though.

Playing Go! Go! Nippon...
I really have to wonder if the writer of the game even went abroad one time. The protagonist acts like every ordinary thing doesnt exist outside of Japan.
"This is... a train station! Wow. It has little shops and restaurants!"
"A vending machine! I dont think youd find that anywhere but Japan."
"A convenience store? Its open that late???"
Wat?
Edit: Actually it feels like the protagonist is a huge weeaboo. "A tatami room! SOOO GREAT! Its my dream to stay in a Tatami Room!"

I find it interesting how everyone is focusing on the new curation thing, but in terms of discoverability, they've switched the "new releases" tab to "POPULAR new releases." You have to click a button to find all new releases now. Those who have little will have less, it seems.

I still enjoyed the main character for how ridiculous he was. To me it added to the fact that he was just that excited to travel over there.

Hey Jshackles, whenever I go to a store page the little green ball next to the price doesn't show up anymore. But if I hover my mouse over it the other regional prices still appear. Is this something that has been happening to anybody else?

He is far tooo excited. He reminds me of those "new" anime-fans that travel to Japan and think the whole country is the country where milk and honey flows. He feels like someone who wouldnt shut up about it *lol*

Sure, I've played a couple of hours of the current build. The project's been lacking a vision of their own ever since that fuzzy kickstarter, I wouldn't be surprised if their design document, if they even have one, just consists of a bunch of forum posts. It's a mess and it's probably far beyond redemption at this point.Jørdan;131311850 said:

This has been driving me up the wall with the Steam community guides. It's constantly filled wi Russian language guides that are absolutely meaningless to me and make it harder to find the guides I need.

The combat is kinda weird in that even once you acknowledge the weird 2.5D nature of the planes and get over that hump, it also seems to be based on Arkham Asylum's combat system and AFAIK (i'm about 4-5 hours into the game) it doesn't have any of the improvements that were made in Arkham City. Maybe Origins is the same way, but i haven't played it and i doubt it that its combat would be a step back from City's.
Also, while i like the open ended nature of the game, it also kinda screwed me over a bit. I decided to fight (boss spoiler)

Valve announcing a monetization plan for curators
It will happen, you know it.
Everything will get more fucked then.
It's a not a convenience store, it's a konbini. Totally different dude.
One of them is in a Japan and the other isn't.
I totally agree with you about the protagonist
You can enable and disable it in ES options.
Why do you want that green globe anyway? It's ugly and out of place.

Because it's like the gem in Diablo 2 Battle.net.
True, it is my preference to have newest releases featured - at least the tab is selected by default rather than the top sellers as before -that extra click to all new releases brings new sorting functions which are great.
Damn, that's heartbreaking. Really looks promising too, thanks for the heads-up I'll be sure to cast a more critical eye.
It might be tricky in the client yet on the web it should be easy to allow a sort function similar to the store allowing owned games to be sorted by genre and tags. So far the my games page under community has sort by name and playtime, it could be more meaningful and informative.

The sad reality is that they don't need to. The popular curators with tens and hundreds of thousands of followers will have an enormous sway on the content that's presented to users on the home page. I've seen first hand what developers and publishers are willing to pay for this space, so now you're going to have to ask yourself "Was (this curator | PewDePie | PC Gamer Magazine | etc) paid to write a favorable review of this game so that it would show up on the home page of Steam for so many people?

Great choice! But I have to admit, since he went Hollywood he mostly plays cliche funny guy #9872. His Britain tenure was the best imo. Still love Shaun of the Dead above any his US works.

Love you Toma! You're doing great work on the indie front. I really should visit your thread more often :/

Woot! Chances are increasing more and more.hey guys ... I've got some VERY good news for you

Happy birthday, man! Treat yourself to a nice game today!

Yup, it's better. But I can't deny it being very similar looking to GOG's deal page?!
---
Hm, I just found a couple curators I might follow, but this is very off-putting :/
Guess I'll not use it after all.
I'll just continue my old way of watching friends wishlist/libraries for new stuff.
If I stop doing that I would stop being able to gift fellows out of the spur anyway.
