>go to steam library homepage>scroll down to "play next">screenshotwhat does steam think you should play?
>>739175408this is the only game in my play nextdoes it go after playtime? because a few years back i made an effort the start every game at least once beacuse i hae autism
>>739175721it specifically only lists games without any playtime on them, not sure exactly how it decides which to display. probably similar metrics that the recommendations tab in the store uses.
i can deal with this i guess
>>739176564there are only three games it recommends?
>>739176882yeah, i dont understand the algorithm. my unplayed games are mostly crepe like Ricochet, HL Deathmatch and forced "enhanced" editons
bump
Ironic when I consider the first FEAR to be supremely overrated barely above the usual linear fps campaign
>>739179503if you didn't like 1, 2 is definitely more tailored to you
>>7391795752 is more of the same except worse from what I can tell. My library is full of retro fps so the algorithm is clearly still a complete /v/ tourist when it comes to the singleplayer fps genre
>>739179627>retro fps enjoyer>disliked fear 1retarded or bait, flip a coin
>>739179701Thank you for proving my point about /v/ tourists to the genre
>>739179503funny, i'm playing F3AR at this very moment. playing through the whole trilogy; played the first, its expansions, the second, and its DLC earlier this year. the first is absolutely the best of the bunch, 2 and 3 both go even further into linear FPS campaigns. the removal of a lean mechanic is the worst thing to happen to the franchise. the third has a button that actively puts you into cover as if it were a third person stop'n'pop shooter. disappointing to say the least.i won't touch the penumbra games because i hated amnesia dark descent.going to play dishonored 2 at some point this year.never heard of moonring.>>739179549ACVI is amazing, you should play that. borderlands series sucks ass.
>>739179723Enjoying the nuances of the best NPC simulation in PVE FPS is too much for your aging mind
>>739179803You can enjoy your tacticool pve simulation all you want, just don't conflate it with retro fps like some dumbass tourist
>>739175408I'm not gonna play cs, that's for sure
>>739179841i thought you were defining fear 1 as a retro fps, so i just went with it
>>739179952brutal legend and darksiders are cool.borderlands sucks.haven't played xcom 2 but want to.titan souls is interesting but can get old trying to find the gimmick/trick to each boss. few games that are inspired by sotc seem to really get it right.
I have actually played all these before, its just that i pirated them years ago
>>739180134is graveyard keeper any good?arkham games suck and bioshock sucks.i wanna play NG.
>>739180257Its Stardew Valley but worse.
>>739175408>Letting the computer tell you what to play when you can customize it to not do that
>>739180257GK is ok but the progression is ass and gets boring, but the concept is nice it's also nothing like stardew like that retard said
>>739180475it's just a suggestion. i'm not letting steam decide for me. ultimately, i make the choice. it is just interesting to see how steam sees my playing habits through the recommendations it makes.
>>739175408>using steamGood morning sir!
>>739180025I should probably try titan souls just to see if I like it, it's probably not that long
>>739180547>exposing yourself to algorithms designed to boost engagement when you don't have to
>>739180257It's horrible. 2 minutes in, and you're hit with the most painful millennial writing you can imagine.
>>739175408>why???? i never payed any "online game/ multiplayer" Why did Steam recommend this to me?
>>739181005>>739181005but the algorithm is only recommending you things that you already bought. it is also on a platform that you are already engaging with because you (presumably) want to play games. this isn't some dark psychology manipulation tactic like endless scroll or anything, this is just a neat feature that can reduce decision paralysis for some people so that they can actually pick a game to play instead of staring at their library for an hour before settling on tiktok/shorts/reels to fill their time because it is too hard to decide which unplayed game is the one they should start next.
>>739181442>
I forgot I bought Ghost Trick
>>739175408some dogshit idk
>>739181519If it's just about playing games, does the algorithm recommend non-steam games you've added to steam?
>>739179741>funny, i'm playing F3AR at this very moment.How do you feel about it so far?Once a year I replay the FEAR franchise and try to convince a friend to play FEAR3 with me and no one ever wants to
>>739181785honesstly, these all look fun except for the horse gacha.>>739182025how would their algorithm be able to recommend it to you if it has no real data on what that program is? the recommendations are based on playtime of yours and others, do you want steam to have MORE invasive data collection to understand what outside programs you are adding to your library and if they match up to the programs others have added to theirs? you are being purposely obtuse in a vain attempt at appearing intelligent. it is not working.>>739182078i'm liking it about as much as i liked fear 2, but i liked that one about half as much as i liked fear. the first one was magic that they never managed to recapture. fear 2 and 3 both pushed too much into the sci-fi aesthetics. specifically the third having soldiers that can teleport in and out of reality is real fucking ridiculous.i almost wish they took the game in a more mission based approach, playing different clones being dropped in for different missions to deal with alma's reality altering fuckery.
whatever algo they have here works, unlike their discovery queue. I'd probably enjoy this but I don't feel like sweating right now, I'm in a chill games mood.>>739181785holy based game selection. idk you but i love u
>>739183870that is a chill game, almost to a fault at the beginning
>>739176564red faction was pretty fun when it released but the lack of multiplayer community now really stinks
>>739183956is it worth replaying in the current year? should i play original or remastered?
>>739175408The only one of these in the backlog is Dishonored.I played New Vegas ages back on console, the rest I believe all came bundled with other games I got
>>739183923I've seen a bit of a playthrough, I know it's chill. but I also know it will make you sit up and pay attention for bosses. i'll load it up sometime soon....ish. working through a backlog atm
Mine only has Doom Eternal and Portal in it which is strange as I've played Portal several years ago, guess Steam just forgot my playtime for it
>>739175408I don't even have this play next thing. what gives?
>>739186853You prolly removed the shelf at some point as by default it should be on the home page of your library
>>739186697my portal 1 hours/achievements appear reset as well, I believe they gave away Portal at some point, i guess maybe that reset hours/achievements. I've definitely played through the whole game but it only shows like 2 hours for me from when I loaded it up on deck or something. dunno, my Portal 2 hours at 29 look right
>>739186926makes sense. cheers.
lol it thinks I've never played duke because I used a source port instead. Zomboid I've been waiting on friends to play and I didn't really ever like the idea of deadlocked but a friend sent me a key anyways when it first came out, guess this is useless for me
I already played most of these before I had a Steam account (and half of them before Steam even existed).
>>739175408meh, I don't have enough space
>>739180475getting real mentally ill (troonish, call it the ick if you want) vibes from this
>buy game>proceed to let it rot in your librarywhat is it with browns and wasting money?
>>739175408Literally impossible to decide.
planning to replay death stranding again
>>739175408anything but Alan Wake's American Nightmare.it's horseshit.
>>739187952>elderborn>shadow of wardon't play those.
>>739187952call of juarez gunslinger is amazing, do that first
