Steam Game Recommender (www.nextsteamgame.com)

Closed

Hey all,

I've been working on a project to help those, like me, who have too many games in their library, to know which game to play next. If that sounds like you, give http://www.nextsteamgame.com a go and it will try and recommend games based on a number of different variables, you can also login and get a more personalised recommendation.#

Update: I've patched some of the bugs and hopefully it'll now be a lot quicker :)

Any feedback welcome,

Opdude

Looks very simplistic, I like the design. But I can choose the games to play myself, so at least I don't need that kinda stuff. There are sites like Steam roulette and Random steam game too.

Thanks for the feedback :), I think I'll also look into recommending a random game as well :)

W0t?

As in "I like the simplistic design."

I don't quite understand what it is about the concept that's hard to grasp.

The word "simplistic" has a negative tone to it.

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Not really? A lot of people like simple.

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Simple and simplistic are different. Simple is neutral, and often positive, whereas simplistic is negative.

11 years ago

This. I think "simple" is the term used here denotatively.

This, I think the word he was trying to get at was "minimalist"

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Simplistic can definitely have a negative connotation to it but that's really subjective. Maybe a better word choice would have been "minimalistic"?

11 years ago

No it doesn't

Why are some games highlighted green, blue, purple and gold?

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

They are wow like styled recommendations, i.e orange is the most recommended and grey is least :)

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Yeah that should actually be explained on the site. Also, FB may not be too happy with you stealing their "like" hands :-p

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Noted, I'll try and make that more clear :). The hands are part of an open source framework so it should be fine to use :)

I have now added a badge giving their order numerically to the top 10 recommended games

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

So I should play Back to the Future Ep. 1 and 4, somewhat play 2 and 3 and it's not recommended that I play Ep. 5?
Also the most recommended is inMomentum. Let's give it a go. Maybe you know me better than myself.

Edit: I've tried inMomentum. It's an ok game, but I'm not in the mood for it now. I guess it's a good recommendation because I've been playing a lot of The Walking Dead lately so it clears my mind a bit.

And another thing. I can't seem to find Portal 2. Is it considered completed and therefore not listed? Edit 2: Found Portal 2. Sorry about that.

It now says to play Blackwell Unbound. Nice way to get me to stories again :).

Glad you were able to find some games to play :)! The site doesn't currently take into account sets of games that should be played in order, so sorry about that ^^. If you mark a game as being completed then you'll find it in the completed tab at the top :).

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Thanks. I managed to get my head around it.

It's a pretty nice concept. I always have trouble deciding what to play next and I end up just reading about stuff.

Why are you using steamgifts then?

Why not?

11 years ago

You sign in via Steam OpenID. Just like SG.

You can also use community based recommendations no need to login :)

steamgifts it's a well known site,like tf2op and steamtrades,instead of a new site i have never heard about ;) sorry if you feel bad for this news :(

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

That does not matter, it's just as safe anyway, as long as you log in through steam it's nothing to worry about...

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

All it does is link the page to your Steam ID.

11 years ago

Oh yeah, because clicking 2 buttons to login to a new website is such a risky process.

How do you think sites become well known?

"Steam will not reveal your username or password to this site, rather a unique numeric identifier will be shared. You should never enter your Steam login credentials into a third party website"

Suddenly, begging.

begging? begging for luck? wtf

11 years ago

Right, because that TOTALLY doesn't look like it's begging at all.

Give away about 45x as much as you have, then we'll talk...

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

but giving away games doesn't help you at all in the winning chances

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Not in any "random number generator likes you more" way, no. But Kanga's at a 2.7% win rate and you're on 0.7%. :p

11 years ago

Nice idea :D The only problem was first login with "Whoops" message,other than that works perfectly :)

To be frank, the website loads a little slow. :(

11 years ago

Very slow.

I've made some improvements to the site, give it a try again and see if it's sped up :)

Btw when i have entered the site,without logging in,i had the same hours of play with the games i had that are on the site.... lol

So, why are there two time things.
Is the left one the time you have played the right one the amount you should have played or...?

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

One is how much you have played, the other is average for the game ;) just mouseover

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Ahhh, I see now, thankyou :D

I know my games; but thanks anyway.

Suggestions:

Make an option to choose to show games in either rectangles (current design) or a list.
If you don't like a game, you dislike it rather than unlike it.
Make an option to categorize games.

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I like it but the comunity time is not very exact:D

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

The community time is based on the site's community average time rather than the whole of steam :)

11 years ago

Make a button to generate recommendations if possible, I tagged and liked and whatnot but did not see any recommendations, I always like having a button that shows me the magic is being done and I'll have to wait now.

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

If you hit the sync button under Account that should kick off the process of recommending again :), I will look into creating a button for just the recommending however :)

Design looks a bit weird on Windows Phone browser (mobile IE), but I guess the average user is using a desktop browser and won't have these glitches. Like others mentioned, a bit explanation of colors and/or signs would be nice as well. Better to explain more than necessary than too little ;) Can't say much about functionality as I'm currently on my phone and won't test it here.

Hadn't seen this site before :), but thanks for the link!

It takes a bit time when you try to like a game on your library, but other than that, I liked it.

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

All it recommended were free to play MMOs... Is there a way to factor out certain games in my recommendations? I think TF2 and Dota are messing up my results.

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Your welcome to blacklist games, this will take them out of the recommendations entirely

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

This makes it so that they don't affect games in the recommendations, or just hides them?

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

It'll just hide them

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Do you think you could add a feature for this, because due to my TF2 and Dota playtime every recommended game is a free-to-play mmo.

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Slow, but nice concept.

However, it appears that it is recommending only games that I already own. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the mechanics of how it works?

Right now I see no games on my recommendations that aren't in my library.

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

The site is to help you pick which game to play next that you have in your library but may in future suggest games you should buy :)

11 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Ah. I gotcha. Makes more sense now. Thank you and will revisit with that in mind...

11 years ago

This site is so **** slow

11 years ago

Sorry about that, I can working on some fixes for the slowness but there's only so much I can do in so little time :)
