It's not like you're going to find a rare gem while looking through the storefront, just know what you're getting ahead of time and use the search feature. This applies for like everything.

The steam storefront is actually pretty nicely designed by contrast to the PS store imo. Except thanks to greenlight and now steam direct, 99% of what you will actually see on it is unfathomably indescribable poo poo that makes the platform pretty drat embarrassing to try to recommend to anyone who isn't familiar with it

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
Steam content has gotten so bad they've recently removed a game specifically marketed towards paedophiles, after a backlash. There's no quality control or criteria whatsoever. You open the storepage up right now, it's full of anime weeaboo schoolgirl bullshit.

You can filter your tags to exclude anime, which is almost a necessity even if you play some anime games.

I can imagine that between the anime and JRPG that it might be a total turn off for some people. But in the absence of any factors like that, I’d say it’s one of the best things to end up on the PS4.

I haven’t found the tagging to be effective at all. If I exclude something steam will just shove shovelware from other genres on me since if there’s thing steam isn’t running out of it’s shovelware.

Steam has definitely succeeded in making the whole storefront absolutely useless to me.

I never realized how terrible PS4's in-console store was until I spent like an hour browsing around during the Christmas/Flash Sales trying to decide things. I went to like Skyrim VR, up to videos/screenshots, shifted over to Streams, clicked X, and the console hardlocked to the point I had to unplug it. In all the years I've owned a PS4 that's never happened to me before.

after browsing the store for a bit i pretty much have to hard power down my console for a minute to get it running properly again

I've filtered out 'anime' 'rpg maker' and early access games. Seems to be working for the most part.

I disagree that the quality that the drop is anywhere near that bad, but I’ll agree that the antagonist of the first arc hits a peak that the game doesn’t quite hit again for a while, possibly ever. I think that’s more a compliment to it than a slight against the rest though.

Plus I really liked the last fight.

The Terrible Steam thread goes into this and it's crazier than what you would think. There are whole publishers whose entire business is ripping anime drawings from no name Japanese VNs and dumping them on steam.

It used to be pretty good at surfacing games that are worthwhile before they opened the floodgates.

To be fair I am not really sure I would call Persona 5 a plot but more a series of events that happen with very little connection.

It was a victim of its own success. Being an indie that got on Steam was a Big Deal in 2011 or so, so of course people wanted in on it. Instead of actually bothering to do their own quality control they crowdsourced it to Greenlight, which was awful. Instead of fixing it they said “gently caress it” and just tossed quality control entirely.


I’m thinking of getting a sports game. Steep, NHL18, or Golf Club 2?

i never really had a problem with the steam store until i played the long dark, which is very fun and good, but also made the steam store decide i was interested in the literally countless "open world" "survival" games that are just asset dump garbage

there is an ongoing theme to them. It plays out sort of like a tv-show. every month is a new episode with a different take on the subject and the last one is the season finale to tie it all up (in a properly crazy and asinine anime fashion)

When I rebuilt my database, it allowed a bunch of stuff that previous was unable to be downloaded to install. Including an entire game. It didn't leave enough room to open an app, though, and I had to go delete some of it.

When you rebuild your database, every game becomes 'recently played'. The PS4 only auto patches recently played games.

You're grabbing patches you never had, that the ps4 never checked for before.

This is normal.

That seems about right. Maybe I should stop some of this stuff and do some early spring cleaning. My Pro is close to full and I barely play games.
