These recommendations never seem to work for me. I feel like they tend to assume way too much about me. If I buy Tales of Vesperia, it suddenly thinks I want every JRPG, if I play an FPS it now assumes I want to buy Far Cry. I have literally never bought or wishlisted a Ubishit game on steam, get a fucking hint already.
I don't blame them for trying but it doesn't work for me. There's a reason why I haven't bought or wishlisted any of this garbage

Pretty neat but I have to turn the popularity slider pretty far down to find anything I'm not already aware of, and when you go down that far, things start to become a lot more questionable in terms of quality.

Probably all the Trails games doing it.

It's a given that no automated recommendation system is going to do much for you if you already know what you want or are actively researching/talking about videogames, like being in a videogames board would entain to, as much as Yea Forums loves memeing about hating games.
I already know everything of my recommendation list aside from a few of the RPGMaker garbage that shows up when pulling the slider all the way to niche, but that tells more about me than the system itself.

I'm not sure how. They say it uses tags without being fed anything into it, so you would believe all Falcom games being tagged as great soundtrack and Trails as story rich would give some weight to those recommendations. Alas.

Also, why the fuck are my tags in... german? Also, 9130 hours total, jesus christ

I'm disappointed they didn't recommend me any erotic content. just pure weeb shit.

Presumably spending some 500 hours playing JRPGs would weight the recommendations towards giving you some JRPGs, and for whatever reason the Neptunia games are popular on steam. I wouldn't assume anything greater than that has gone into the recommendation.

Fuck, that machine learning shit is scary. Got really good recommendations.

I wish there was a way to mark already owned games though.

The feature is based on artifical intelligence which is known to have a gender and racial bias. Experts expect the AI to replace human game recommenders by 2025, thus destroying the livelihood of more than 50,000 Gamestop employees around the world.

The irresponsibility of having recommendations from a machine, that could end up damaging the eyes of trans and vegans

Number 3 final answer.

Does Steam have an algorithm where they can track if you played a certain multiplayer game a lot with your friends so they can skew the recs to have more MP games? Go suggest that lad. It's experimental after all.

The niche setting really seems to prefer games that crossover in 100% Orange Juice.

Super House of Dead Ninjas is good.

I give Valve and Steam a lot of shit but I'll be honest with you Yea Forums, this slider is actually fucking amazing.

I think I already wishlisted three new games after checking their trailers out for a bit.

Seems pretty cool though I don't know why I get recommended a few hentai puzzles or whatever. I neither have anime games nor VNs.

Presumably that's because people who play 100% Orange Juice are incredibly likely to buy and play other Fruitbat Factory games as well.
Basically the recommender doesn't actually check how the games play in any way at all, it just looks for patterns in playtime across different users. That can be a good thing or a bad thing.

are the trailers specific to our "algorithims" or does everyone get the same trailers?

I think the trailers are the same for everyone. Sort of like a generic highlight reel for the day.

Does anyone know if the algorithm checks out if you have achievements in those games as well? Because I feel as if the recs also take into account which genre of game I have cheevos on.

Why would that ever get recommended to anyone? It's an ancient game that wasn't good when it was new, much less now. It's only notable for having a weird setting.

Prove me wrong then. Epic has lit a fire under Gaben's ass. Tim has basically done the industry good because it drove Valve to actually release an amazing discoverability feature.

And I'll gladly take lots of games, both good and bad, over the pre-greenlight walled garden it was before.

VALVE ONCE MORE FINDING WAYS NOT TO CURATE THE STORE

Attached: thx gabe.jpg (1029x952, 218K)

Valve is inventing AI's rather than curate, and here is why that's a bad thing

Never played it, but I can tell you to expect a short Eroge since it's from Cherry Kiss. Not many people are fond of their style of VN's.

I wonder if it takes into account WHEN your hours were sunk into the games you've played. I have tons of hours in TF2 but I haven't played it since it went F2P because I thought they ruined the game. A person whos sunk the same amount of time into the game post-F2P would probably have very different desires.

To be completely fair, this recommendation system basically means that LBTQ+ games or whatever shit those indie devs make and all that other shit will never be seen by the average steam user ever again.
So essentially Valve has destroyed their discoverability even more.

Like I asked maybe five or six of my steambros already on what games got recommended to them with this and they all said niche FPS, niche danmaku shit, or even meme RPGmaker hentai games. None of them mentioned seeing any of the sort of the usual stuff entitled game devs make.

Click "ignore" on their steam page.

Most steam users probably wouldn't want to see those games in the first place. LGBT games aren't owed success. The people into those games will be recommended them, people who've never expressed any interest in them will not.

It's not like they're all obscure either, the average player would probably have been exposed to something like Red Strings Club or Read Only Memories if they're interested in LGBT shit and once they've played those, they'd probably get recommended a bunch of other similar shit.

The only problem I can see is that your playtime in short games might end up meaning less than your play time in endless games like multiplayer shit. So a person might play PUBG every day, but they play adventure games regularly too, so they have 4-6 hours in dozens of them and 2000 hours in PUBG.

I'll say what we're all thinking. How long til this gets abused and it exclusively shows utter trash?

Its actually really good. every single one of the top 20 recommended games are games ive pirated and liked.

How can we abuse it when we don't even know how it works?

That's what the slider is for mate.

Genre isn't taken into account by the algorithm. It just looks for people with similar patterns of playtime and recommends games they've played that you don't own.

I have like 1k hours in shit like TF2, Warframe, Champions online, and Planetside 2 and it's still recommending me niche SHMUP titles because I have a pretty large collection of them on steam and on my wishlist.

The blogpost says they specifically tried to tailor it in such a way that it couldn't be gamed, but who knows if that'll work. maybe some devs will just run dozens of instances of their game perpetually along with instances of popular games to try and create a correlation.

This might unironically become the gold standard for discoverability and recommendations Yea Forums. It can literally only get better from here as they add more and more options to better fine tune your searches.

wow so smart AI

Yeah? I just downloaded it. Steam just told me there was an update and now I have it installed.

you have to swing popularity a good bit to the niche side to get anything interesting

It's pretty neat, but there are some things I'd like to be able to do to improve it. For example, the first thing it recommends to me is Danganronpa 2, presumably because I have some time played on the first one this month and because I've been getting into VNs lately. However, I stopped playing the first Danganronpa half way through because it was absolute rancid dogshit, and I have no interest in touching anything from the series again.

Additionally, quite a few of its recommendations are games I've already played, just not on Steam - it's keen to get me playing Hollow Knight for example, and it's right to think I'd like it, as I had a lot of fun when I picked it up on Switch a month ago. Also, it'd be good if you could see games older than 10 years, that's quite an unnecessary restriction. Lots of the great games I'd find on the niche end of things would be old games.

If they let me tell them if I've played a game and tell them if I disliked a game, this could be a handy tool.

>nmrih
>trash
You disgust me.

Yeah in a way seeing all these games I already played/pirated tells me that the system is working well. So if they can fix that shit to show games I haven't played it'll be excellent.

So click ignore on Danganronpa 2's steam page, problem solved.

Steam recommendations were always garbage, so this is likely awful too.
Is this one pure user similarity or does it use tags as features? Tagging itself is absolute trash on steam so any model that uses it will be good old garbage in-garbage out.

There's no option to do that from the recommendations list, and that doesn't solve the general problem of games I didn't like being used to calculate what ought to be recommended to me. I should be able to advise the algorithm on what I actually want more of and what it should ignore.

Blacklist VNs from the store, nigger

I would agree that it would be nice to be able to eliminate the playtime in certain games from consideration by the algorithm but a "dislike" system for games you haven't played is not the way to do that.

Also, it'd be nice if it could (optionally) recommend games that are in my library but I never got round to playing. I know they're trying to sell more games, but there are lots that I own already that I'd probably enjoy if I were reminded to play them.

I can already see it now.

Some mentally ill tranny will go for a week only "playing" and wishlisting some of the most awful shit on Steam so that they can forcefully make the slider recommend them abhorrent garbage to send to game journos and make smear articles about Steam.

>Sweeney will criticize Valve for not opening the API to the algorithm to get recommendations
Let's be completely fair.
It would be legitimately amazing if the slider also considered games outside of the Steam ecosystem. Like imagine if it took into account every game on all the other platforms/launchers and considered you playtime on say Switch games too.

It'd be like GOG Galaxy but on crack.

I'm going to guess this is going to use the steam tags system so I wonder if it will lead to a lot of mistagging to try to game the system or if some games will have a hard time getting listed cause of the lack of tags.

A lot of those are actually good recommendations. Maybe about 40% of your list I can vouch for. I don't know the ones I haven't played. though. Also Environmental Station Alpha is awesome.

You have to ignore them on your recommendations.

>Underlying this new recommender is a neural-network model that is trained to recommend games based on a user's playtime history, along with other salient data. We train the model based on data from many millions of Steam users and many billions of play sessions, giving us robust results that capture the nuances of different play patterns and covers our catalog. The model is parameterized so that we can restrict output to games released within a specified time-window, and can be adjusted to prefer games a higher or lower underlying popularity. These parameters are exposed to the user, allowing you to select whether to see only recent releases in the results, or go all the way back to include games released a decade ago. Similarly, you can choose whether to see mainstream hits, or deep cuts from the catalog. Regardless of the settings of the sliders, the results will always be personalized and relevant to the individual user.
This shit is legit as fuck
It considers session playtime, too
Aka I can't stand playing a game for more than 30 minutes in a sitting, and it recommended me shorter playtime games

It's actually very easy to fuck up machine learning. There are dozens of bias that can be built in and at best mean absolutely nothing and become ineffective at the job their supposed to do. There is a lot to criticize and their will be for quite some time. Many store fronts already use machine learning AI to recommend things and still come up with bogus bullshit that clutters and wastes your time. This will be no different, given they still have the same lazily cobbled together genres and almost no meaningful information about games on their storefront.

Does ignoring affect the algorithm? What if I want to ignore one particular FPS game that I don't like but don't want it to affect every FPS game to be rec'd?

Thanks, Steam AI overlords. These games look kind of fun.

Within minutes I've found things that I can't believe I haven't seen before, it's so damn hard to find anything new in the store normally no matter how hard you try to play around with tags. This is amazing already.

I really enjoyed Silicon Zeroes all the way up til the Divider puzzle. The solution to that puzzle is complete bullshit, it relies on you knowing it will never give you a divisor greater than 8 but it never tells you that, you have to actually examine all the inputs and notice it for yourself.

As far as I could tell, the only way to solve the puzzle was using muxers that relied on that small divisor, you couldn't make a divider with arbitrary inputs.

try turning off free to play stuffs user, it helps me quite a lot because of my high dota 2 playtime

Silicon Zeroes has a lot of smaller issues like that which really compound themselves over time. It introduces elements and then will take them away if it makes the solution of a problem too simple. You hardly ever get access to the comparison tool to see if two values are equal and thus instead have to make more convoluted methods. There are a small handful of puzzles in Zachotronics games which must handle an assumption that isn't outright stated (like a value is never initially X so you don't have to check for it) but the difference is the puzzle can be solved without that knowledge, it just might not be efficient. Most of the solutions one comes up with in Silicon Zeroes is already the most efficient one. Progression is strangely balanced as well.

Overall, of these types of games I rank them as such: Zachotronics games (personally the strongest is Shenzhen IO and the weakest is Infinifactory), then the HumanResourceMachine games, Silicon Zeroes, God is a Cube, and finally Prime Mover. Are there any other games like these that I just don't know about?

I'd hesitate to call Human Resource Machine even the same type of game, it's all about pointer arithmetic, not low level instructions. Personally I found the "quirkiness" of that game to be to its detriment, the inability to type your own comments and labels was fucking infuriating, you had to fucking draw them. It was okay but nothing special. I really enjoyed my time with Silicon Zeroes for the most part. Haven't played God is a Cube or Prime Mover yet.

Yeah it's from the same guy. He made a game called Crosscells too which I liked a lot. I got really into cheap puzzle games on steam for a while, and I'd say crosscells and squarecells were my favorites of the whole bunch.

That's exactly what it does though. Not that there wasn't any privacy to begin with, but that's a battle long lost.

I like the frequency that this thing seems to be recommending games by Yea Forumsirgins (ZeroRanger, Devil Engine, KO Mech) to Yea Forumsirgins.

My experience with Honkai Impact has shown me that Chinese will make a very pretty game with solid 6-7/10 gameplay and then load it the fuck up with microtransactions.

The one exceptions seems to be Smashing The Battle, which is a mobile port hack-and-slash but seems to not have micros that the mobile version did. Could be because it's also on Switch now.

Pretty awesome. I will definitely use it.
I believe that was one of the reasons. Indies keep complaining over lack of awareness. This tool allows people to easily find those indies who may appeal to them.

You should give it another shot and approach it from breaking down each problem into smaller chunks and then finding ways to put them together. The beauty of it is then trimming down your solutions to be more efficient. Actually, you may want to start with something a bit more visual such as Infinifactory. While I don't enjoy it as much, it has the same "types" of problems in one way, but the solutions are much more tangible. I didn't care for it because it involved more fuckery with space management than the solutions themselves, but it's a good stepping stone.

It's the same type of game if you consider all Zachotronics games the same types of games. The scope is different, yes, but they all really demand the same types of mental faculties from the player (though some are more involved in spatial reasoning and others more mathematics). I had to give HumanResourceMachine the edge because it has a proper difficulty curve and is far more consistent. I, like you, appreciate the nature of Silicon Zeroes, but it is a game I cannot recommend to many people. God is a Cube is more invested in spatial reasoning as you are giving instruction sets to a cube to move it to a goal. Prime Mover is very cool in concept-- you are taking inputs and then rerouting them into the proper output. The UI is finnicky and the puzzles end up being more about figuring out superficial timing to make "good" solutions rather than conceptually gestating them. For someone who enjoys that, it would be far better. It just feels like it needed a bit more TLC.

I've gotten plenty of games with female protagonists shown to me by this thing even though the only one I've played is Bloodstained Curse of the Moon, and even then that's Zangetsu's game more than Miriam's.

There is literally no way you can blame this feature for your failure. If your tags match up with somebody's tastes then you should show up on Maximum Niche.

if my vcn actually works i would be buying that already

Squarecells, Hexcells, and Crosscells are all excellent. I wish there were more of them. I recommend looking at Hexologic for something kind of similar (but not really).

Because good democracies only work with a well educated populace. Huge segments of the video game market exist solely to cater to drooling retards.

alright then

You've never played a game with a female protagonist other than Curse of the Moon? How? Do you specifically avoid them or something?

you click the announcement

That Valve AI waifu/husbando will play as your beloved, loyal, trustful, smartest companion in any games you play.

>I, like you, appreciate the nature of Silicon Zeroes, but it is a game I cannot recommend to many people
I mean honestly, the only people I've ever recommended Zachtronics games and their imitators to are professional programmers and randos on Yea Forums. Opus Magnum and Infinifactory would probably be easy to recommend to pretty much anyone, but your average layman is going to find TIS and Shenzhen just as difficult to get into as Silicon Zeroes.

Not on Steam, and only because I didn't start buying games on PC until this year (I've only had laptops, my current one is good enough to run 2D and mid-00s-and-earlier games). I've played Bayonetta, the PS1 Tomb Raiders, Battle Chef Brigade, etc.

Post your games.

This shit is even getting the Yea Forums seal of approval, and this fuck can't even show any enthusiasm
Now I understand why you laugh at my playtimes

>They're making good games! On purpose!!!
>This bullshit has to stop...

but you're will to look at an interactive ad?

Well if someone said they absolutely loved TIS/Shenzhen then I would, but only because not much else exists. If the dev would have properly embraced community levels, the game would be better for it. The base tools are good, but everything else is a mixed bag.

If I set it to max niche I get Spark the Electric Jester and it's sequel, whatever the fuck that is.

Does that Totally Reliable Delivery Service game have a single player mode? It looks like it might be goofy fun for a little bit, but I don't want to play with other people.

Hopefully when NIS goes bankrupt for real, NISA goes under with them and Falcom gets the people and freelancers that went from XSEED to NISA and make a proper western branch of theirs. I only bought Ys VIII this summer sale and even at discount I resent giving money to NISA.
Falcom is as old as all the other big Japanese studios, it's about damn time they have their own people overseas localizing their shit instead of relying on small companies in the US and Asia.
While at it they should get some actual 3D artist and animators for the Kiseki team, they REALLY FUCKING NEED some.

Is okay.

The strangest thing about Silicon Zeroes to me was going through the dev commentary after I finished the game, he cites fucking Trails in the Sky as an influence. Trails is getting decently well known now, but at the time it was still pretty fucking obscure, so it was surreal seeing it referenced in a totally unrelated game.

this is actually really really cool
finally I don't have to sit through steam summer sale niche/hidden gem threads to get games I like

Spark is made by a long-time maker of fangames for Sonic who decided to make an original game. It's like 2D Sonic with Kirby-style abilities and some combat, at least the first one. The sequel is the same but with Dreamcast-era Sonic gameplay.

the only valid thing journo and those tranny dev can probably attack is how it's making us playing the game that we want to play so it doesn't show "their" game to players, hence reducing their ''potential" revenue

it recommends me either flavor of the month trash like Bloodstained, Touhou clones+fangames, and pretty much any shmup I haven't bought. I guess it was a success since I'm gonna give this Touhou clone a try

If they add a Sale toggle to this thing it'll be perfect.

Seethe harder

They have a Specials button on the front page, so it makes sense to include one on this tool.

Valve should let you check what the ai is recommending to your bro, so you can gift him some really cool game he will play and may be not aware of
Same with clueless girlfriends

You can click through to games that interest you and add them to your wishlist, then you'll get an email when they're on sale.

It's not really reccommending me anything I don't already know about; hell, most of this is stuff I already own on other accounts/launchers/have pirated. I guess that's technically a big complement to the system, but it's not very useful to me.
Even when I turn it all the way down to niche it's only showing stuff I know about.

Yeah, it would be great if they could just translate and port their games themselves. Unfortunately I don't think that's likely, Falcom seems to really be in bed with NIS and I kind of doubt it's going to go bankrupt like everyone's speculating.

Even if they did though, I haven't been the biggest fan of where they've been headed. Ys 8 was great, but I don't like the social link high school bullshit Trails became in Cold Steel (maybe the Calvard arc will be better) and Tokyo Xanadu was a fucking disgrace. What I'd really like from them right now is a more niche title to show they still care about quality and not just chasing trends. I'd kill for a remake of Brandish 2 in the style of TDR.

that's what you get for max niche that still match your associated tags
you get slightly related stuff to game you've played and owned

>gymnastics

Its flawed from conception because its based solely off playtime, which is weighted to the games you spend a lot of time doing nothing in, MMOs and F2P grinders

i had the tf2 and dota 2 betas as well as CSS. this automatic system logs them as 6000 hours played and suggests fucking dogshit like borderlands3, skyrim and fallout 4 because they also have long playtimes.

I dont even play games on steam anymore. For the last year ive been clearing my NDS backlog.

Is there a way to get new recommendations? Refreshing the page always give the exact same games. There must be more niche stuff on steam.

I have almost everything ignored on steam so that I only get recommended what I want when it's on sale or new releases

Baba is great, highly recommended, pity you missed out on the threads on here around release, they were tons of fun.

This. It keeps telling me to play Metroidvanias and I don't want to, but there's no filter for that tag.

more tags would help as i have this grit to play metroidvanias lately but there's no tag for that

It's interesting to set it to Max Niche but then filter out "Indie". I like indie games but I want to see what published games the AI constitutes as Niche. I got:
>Castlevania Collection
>Blaster Master Zero
>Exile's End
>The Mummy Demastered
>Blade Strangers
>Toki
>Wild Guns Reloaded
>Shock Troopers
etc. etc. including a lot of Fighting games which isn't surprising. And that's with Older.

>maybe the Calvard arc will be better
Yeah, I don't remember where I read it but I believe Kondo did say he recognizes how they fucked it all, maybe not the highschool bullshit but at least in making Rean literally the Jesus of Haha, so I'm slightly hopeful for the future. I got into this ride and I hope to see it to the end.
If you too pretend TX doesn't exist it's easier to be hopeful.

>What I'd really like from them right now is a more niche title to show they still care about quality and not just chasing trends
Something new among the lines of Zwei/Gurumin really wouldn't be too bad, it's been a good while since Nayuta.

Why it works for short games
The recommender knows that there are great short-form games you can finish in an hour, and those you'll play for thousands. Your playtime data is normalized to reflect the distribution of playtime in each game, ensuring that all games are on an equal footing.

your data revels who you truly are
no point lying to the machine

Go get yourself some breasts, user.
I've heard the story is actually pretty good.

lmao dw I pirated that game day one
I assumed it was gonna be a fun gimmick explored for about ten hours max
I was wrong

It's a VN and it costs as much as the 11 games I bought during the Summer Sale put together. I'd rather just look at the art assets to get the tiddy. There's a sequel called Sideboob Story.

Attached: 1529253261939.jpg (798x747, 46K)

Post your email fast.

Don't buy it for me, user. It's not that I can't afford it, it's that I don't think any VN is worth that kind of money. I'd probably get bored and either just play a fun game or look up porn.

It's free. Hurry up before we roll off the board.

I had that sitting in my library for a few months now. I should get into it.
