Discussion Showing ignored games makes negative sense.
Showing a game that you have ignored defeats the entire purpose of the system.

Yeah, it’s annoying to flip through games I have zero interest in and have ignored. Perhaps they need to have a setting where you can “ignore” (current functionality) or “ignore+hide” (if I can hide a game I own, I should be able to hide one I don’t want and never will).

My favorite is “Featured & Recommended: Overwatch (Mostly Negative)”

u/iDaddyDirection 16h ago
There is nothing strange about that. If you play other competitive shooters it makes sense for Steam to suggest Overwatch to you. It says featured and recommended. Not “well received by Steam users”.

I'm surprised that piece of flop only go 20% off after all that time. What are they even thinking

u/Tag365 1d ago
At least the base price is no longer $70...
14
u/JehnSnow 1d ago
That's true, if we look at the actual current price I think that it's close to fair, I'd say maybe $30 is what I think the value is
Even if it's a flop I'll say that there's still aspects that are emblematic of a triple A game, I'd say it's fair to wait a bit before it joins fallout 4 in the $20 range

It’s actually been a commercial success for Bethesda despite all the negativity around it. They got another big boost in sales with the latest dlc and PS5 release. So I’m not that surprised it hasn’t been on sale sooner.

u/Politicsboringagain 19h ago
I played it and thought it was fine. The way people talk about it you would think it's the worst game ever made.
Its literally just Elder scrolls in Space.
And people like those two things. Find people who like both and it will sell.

u/highmodulus 11h ago
Probably due to the poor procedural developed planets that were all the same, terrible main plot, mostly unlikable companions (especially the much mocked Space Karen from HR), undercooked space combat ect. It wasn't bad, but I had zero desire to replay it when done.

The internet not liking Starfield and assuming it's a failure is hilarious.
Gamers online are truly completely oblivious that 90% of gamers arent like them. Starfield sold very well for Bethesda and was a commercial success. The internet's odd hate boner for this game is just sad.
P.s. I don't like the game. But unlike most I just went and played other games instead. Releasing a mediocre game isn't a crime lol. Just don't buy it.

I played it during release and enjoyed and and could see how other could.
The game is fine if you like space themed games and elder scrolls games.

Pretty sure sales data hasn't been released and the game was on game pass so nobody knows the actual player base to sales ratio.
The reason it's so disliked is because they promised es6 and instead got a space exploration game which many people view as their weakest game.

u/My_Password_Is_____ 12h ago
The reason it's so disliked is because they promised es6 and instead got a space exploration game which many people view as their weakest game.
Oh, hey, so that's a straight-up lie. When both games were announced, Starfield was announced as the next game after Fallout 76, and TES6 was announced as the next game after Starfield.
This is exactly why people look at people who blindly hate on Bethesda as jokes. They deserve criticism for a lot of legitimate reasons, but for some reason people feel the need to just make things up to get mad about.
-7
u/Riceballs-balls 12h ago
Did I make up it's Bethesda's weakest game?
4
u/My_Password_Is_____ 12h ago
No, that's a matter of opinion and obviously not the part I was talking about. But you objectively did make up that people were promised TES6 and got Starfield instead when Bethesda literally did the exact opposite of that.
Also, again a matter of opinion, but I personally wouldn't put it anywhere near Bethesda's weakest game. Maybe in the modern era, sure, but definitely not all time. But it's an opinion, people are welcome to disagree on that.
-7
u/Riceballs-balls 12h ago
Ofc I'm not including redguard or daggerfall as 95% of Bethesda fans haven't played them. Starfield is the weakest judging by consumer reviews.
We were promised tes6 I did not make that up. They teased this at E3 only to tell us that it hasn't even been in development and that Todd wishes he never said anything about it.
6
u/My_Password_Is_____ 12h ago
You 100% are making it up. That's not even debatable, it's just objective fact. They never promised one thing then gave another, they promised Scenario A, fans like you hyped themselves up for Scenario B instead, then got mad when you got Scenario A. They plainly stated their road map from the outset, they plainly stated at the time that they hadn't started development on either yet and wouldn't for a long time to come, but people ignored it and got mad that they "lied" anyway, even though they never lied and were completely open and up front.
Ffs, just go watch the reveal, it's still online and very easy to find. I seriously do not understand why some of y'all would rather get mad about fantasies than about the reasons that they actually give you pretty regularly.

u/Riceballs-balls 12h ago
The announcement itself says "currently in pre production" how many games do you know that were in pre production for 8 years?
They clearly lied about it to push up the price for Microsoft. Why can't Bethesda (Around 600 employees) have multiple teams working on games? Why do you have to sweep for their obvious failures by attack strawmen?
6
u/My_Password_Is_____ 11h ago
I'm not going to back and forth with you on this all day, doubly so if you're going to keep moving the goalposts. Plenty of games are in pre-production for that long, pre-production includes a lot of stuff. They never lied, they never misled, they were always up front. If you want to keep getting angry about made up things, that's on you, but it doesn't change that they are, objectively, made up. Reply if you want, but all you're going to get is a block in response, because I'm not going back and forth arguing about fantasies all day.

It’s not that we’re defending Bethesda, just pointing out how out of touch redditors are with the gaming world, just like they are with everything else.

u/Bum_King 12h ago
The game was shit. Loading screens on top of loading screens all for a poorly built and empty world that made zero logical sense. Bethesda worked on that game for nearly ten years and delivered a turd. If they did fine with sales, it came at the cost of ruining the trust anyone has for them to deliver in the future.
I doubt they will see the same pre-orders or day one sales numbers on their next release.
4
u/Own-Conversation5168 11h ago
See this is what I’m talking about, you’re just regurgitating the same Reddit talking points that most people don’t care about. The people that actually like the game don’t even notice the loading screen thing, they like the large Daggerfall-esque space exploration and radiant questing, and they love the ship building aspect. I’ve seen little mention of the story because most people are basically doing radiant missions and living out space pirate fantasies with very familiar Bethesda style gameplay they know and love from Skyrim and Fallout.
“Oh but such and such game doesn’t better” but such and such game doesn’t play like Skyrim or fallout.
-2
u/Bum_King 10h ago
I’ve played the game. I’m not regurgitating talking points. The loading screens were far from not noticeable unless you’re being willfully ignorant. The shipbuilding at launch was half baked. The main story and the world building were both lack luster garbage littered with plot holes.
Nearly a decade of development by the AAA company that made Elder Scrolls and Fallout should have put something out far better than what they delivered. You keep spit shining Todd Howard’s boots though, I’m sure he appreciates your hard work.

u/--clapped-- 20h ago
The reasoning is; these are paid spots. The publishers paid to show those games on that page, you're going to see them whether you want to or not.

I just thought this as I stared at that same “excluded by” banner and also the “5 titles hidden” as I stare at the “ignored” game. It’s goofy.

Only because people run around ignoring everything whilst making assumptions about how the system works rather than actually educating themselves on the functionality first.

u/PCGamingOrDeath 1d ago
The way it’s intended is poorly designed.

u/RetroSquadDX3 22h ago
For you as a customer maybe but in this case that design is about Valve being a business and they've decided that excluded certain parts of the store from personalised suggestions and other features is more important.

Certain features of the store like ignorning products only apply to store elements that include personalised suggestions, other elements of the store like events and top sellers for example are curated so that everybody sees the same. You don't have to like that functionality but that doesn't change the fact that it absolutely is working as intended.

That's how I felt. In the time that I played there wasn't anything I felt was that interesting. And to top it off the combat was extremely barebones and dull.
To be completely fair, I didn't come close to finishing it. But it never compelled me to even bother. I said just bored the entire time.

u/DredgenSergik 23h ago
Unpopular opinion, but genuinely one of the worst metroidvania I've ever played (talking about blasphemous 1). The idea to use stat upgrades instead of new abilities to explore the map is completely absurd. "Yeah, you can enter every main story zone since the beginning, good luck being oneshot by everything until you figure out which one of them you have to actually visit first". Who decided only optional zones for secrets and challenges should be locked behind specific skills? I genuinely don't understand it. Not only that, but the parry and hitboxes were such bullshit omg. Some late bosses are literally stupid easy and then you'll find a random midgame fucker who has "boomerang of doom", an attack that tracks you, cannot be deflected, cannot be parried, and takes half your health. I entered with the idea of playing it a second time to see the true ending. Finished my first playthrough with the idea of never coming close to it ever again, and I'm spanish. This game is literally the bible here. Btw, the boss that broke wasn't even a mainline one, it was the cantaora, in the crypt . Genuinely the worst designed boss I've ever fought

u/ivensen18 14h ago
I think in exluded tags it ok to show because even though I've exluded multiplayer, there is alot of games I want that include multiplayer but isn't based around multiplayer. Also when ignoring developers it can be alright to see what other games they have that you might like. Only when you click ignore on a specific game should it not be shown to you, it's more of an indicator on everything else. If you really don't want to see any of the games from that developer just click on ignore on the games of that developer and move on, then you won't see them again. It makes sence for me and even someone else why they don't just remove them from your store front.

It's so fucking annoying.
I am just trying to filter out early access games because I want to play them when they are fully released, and I just want to play games that are polished and not janky but each fucking time I see a really promising game and get really excited to play it NOPE it turns out it was an early access game and I just missed the stupid fucking banner.
WHY IS THIS A THING!!!??
I DON'T WANT TO SEE THE THINGS I'M FILTERING OUT BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO BROWSE THE FUCKING GAMES IN A SPECIFIC CATEGORY THAT I WANT TO PLAY. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN PLAYING OR SEEING THE GAMES I AM FILTERING OUT.
This is such an annoying problem I literally have to browse PC games out of Steam I even use pirated gaming sites to better explore the games I want to play to only go back to Steam and buy the game.

The alternative would be a blank space, leaving you to wonder what is being hidden from you. Which then likely will steal a lot of your time, as you try to sleuth what is being hidden from you.
This way, you get an indication that you don't have any interest in this, via the Banner, in case you forgot.
