ABOUT:

The amount of the games on sale is just unholy, and not everyone has the time to go thru them all, and pick out the best of them, especially the lesser known titles. So while this is not an absolute metric, I used the total amount of reviews a game has, as filter, to filter out the less popular titles, so you would have a much smaller and better pool of games you can actually look through and pick what you want. Again, I know the amount of reviews doesn't necessarily mean it is better than other, but popularity is the most objective variable that could be used to filter out games, because otherwise, most people don't have the time to look thru all of the games to see which one are the best, regardless of popularity.

Also the most important part, is the ability to filter games based on popularity, relative to it's price. While you can be interested looking at a game that cost 2 dollars, and has popularity of 500 reviews. you won't be as much as interested looking at All the games with same popularity that cost 10 dollars. I'm not saying those differences are what actually makes something worth buying, it is just about filtering, and giving you a smaller and relatively objective better games, to look thru.

TL;DR : This scripts filters search results based on their popularity.

HOW TO USE:

• Change any variables you want.

• Copy the code

• Go to the search page in Steam, I recommend going to this link with those filters; http://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Name_ASC&category1=998&specials=1

• Select any of the traditional filters you want.

• Press ctrl + shift + 'J'

• You will see a console poping out, paste the code there, and hit enter.

• Now while it looking thru all games, you can go do what you want, and you'll get alert when it will finish.

VARIABLES:

There are variables you can customize, to suite the standards of the games you are looking.

• minmum_discount : Self explanatory, the minimum amount of discount you looking for. Enter value between 0-100.

• minimum_rating : Self explanatory too, the minimum amount of rating in a game you looking for. Enter value between 0-100.

• minimum_reviews : The minimum amount a reviews the game needs to have, and regardless of the next reviews_per_dollar. Enter 0(if you want the feature disabled), or any number above 0.

• reviews_per_dollar : How much popularity a game needs to have, relative to it's price, for example if you'll put '250'; it'll show games that cost 2$ and has 500 reviews and more, but won't show games that cost 5$ and have less than 1250 reviews. Enter 0 (if you want the feature disabled), or any number above 0.

• starting_page & ending_page: going thru the whole list of games, can take some time, lag the browser at the end, and just have too many results. SO you can set thru what p[ages you want tool in your current search.

• special_sort : Turning this feature on, will sort all the results at the end, based on popularity (reviews) per dollar. You can either use true or false, to turn on and off this feature.

NOTES:

• If there's an actual demand, I will make a Chrome extension of this script for a much easier usage.

• When using the script make sure you are on the first page of the results, otherwise there is a bug that stops the script.

• Rarely the script for some reason just doesn't start, so if you don't see any reaction, just refresh the page, and use the script again.

• I only used it on Chrome, so I'm not sure if it is 100% compatible on other browsers.

• I might occasionaly update and improve the code, so you can check back to see if there's any updates.

• All feedback are welcome.
