Steam Store gets personal. And blue!

Steam is going all NetFlix by putting its database of recommendations and trends to use to get more indie games in front of your eyes that you may just be tempted to buy (if the price is right).

 

Fortunately you can easily dismiss games you're not interested, and also follow Steam curators who share the same interests as you.

Oh and it's changed from brown to blue now. (I already had a blue themepack installed).

[Loz]

Shame there is no way to change it back to a theme that actually is good... Just some options to remove some of the unnecessary items would be good (Curators, Explore Your Queue), I don't particularly want these things on my interface getting in the way of me buying things.

well this made me realize more the gaming industry got bigger, the more I have become disintrested in video games. I was just browsing through 'recommended' games, they're all just horrible. Maybe I'm getting too old for this crap.

[Ryzza5]

How old are you? :wise:

[Ozzmcom]

23 :cheeky:

[RobikV3]

Nah its just the industry going full retard im 20 and i dont like 70% of the games too

[Ozzmcom]

I guess that's the case yeah. Now with indie games being popular. I don't think I ever liked one apart from 'Gone Home'

Id say the greed is the problem one game is successful and next thing you know theres 50 games based on its concept next week, just look at MineCraft or the whole survival scene

oh god don't get me started. Like half of the games that are on steam are either survival or minecraft rip-off. The other half is about zombies.

^ yeah exactly and big AAA titles are just cooked over from previous year CoD, Need For Speed, even Assassin Creed is now released every year its just hopeless

[Ozzmcom]

yeah, same deal with consoles and their enslaved dev studios basically. Every year they come out with the same crap 'we care about gamers and we love developing games' >such BS. They develop them solely in exchange to their financial return. Rockstar games is probably one of the few title developers/publishers that is not that greedy and actually cares about developing good games. Thus they put a lot of work in to 1 title and don't come up with a new sequel every year.

Awesome. Hopefully i won't see this indie lalalalalalalala anymore. 99% of all indie games to me are either zombies and/or 8-bit art style. I hate them.

 

*Except for Ether Vapor Remaster. Despite being indie, there's none of that aforementioned stuff and it's actually pretty impressive to me.

yep I don't understand this retro crap either, I guess they're targetted at kiddies like most games these days. Being born into 8-bit world (early 90s) I'm completely sick of it.

Don't forget all those "simulators"

 

 

 

 

 

Also my Steam store page is just showing rubbish I'd never even look at let alone buy.

Are those things mockups or do they really exist?

[Ryzza5]

I saw the latter in Steam Greenlight only the other week
