They're in order of likelihood of being played. Craig is a mate of mine who I play with when time permits.

Not pictured: Won't make the mistake of playing with Craig again

[-] Malix@sopuli.xyz 38 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I just use dynamic collections, eg. group games by their store-tags, eg. arpg, fps, puzzle, walking-sim, online-coop... etc, whatever I consider handy when going through all of it.

Sure, the categories have a lot of overlap, but I don't mind, the games list is a disaster anyway (>1300 games on account... yea.).

I used to maintain my own categories, but at some point the number of games started to be too much to do it by hand.

edit: One of the better features is to group games with online-coop with friends who have it too. Makes it a lot easier to find the next adventure to start after few beers.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 10 points 8 months ago

This is how I go about it, too. I also use the favourites feature to self-curate games to reduce choice anxiety when I want to play something.

Whenever I buy a game, it gets favourited, whenever I'm done with a game, it gets unfavorited.

If I play some game a lot or feel like playing some game when I have time, I favourite it.

This way anytime I want to play, I have a short list of games to consider, instead of trying to look through my whole library.

I tried to sort by genre too many times and failed due to how specific some games get. So now they are sorted by completion.

I also have a huge word document that has a very detailed, color-coded checklist of every game I have sorted alphabetically & by franchise, this was made so I could include any games from my other devices.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 8 months ago

What’s in “DONE - DIDN’T LIKE”? I’m curious as to what you’ve finished despite not really digging it!

[-] ClaireDeLuna@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

"Done" doesn't always mean complete, generally that's where games go that I didn't finish, never returned, and don't plan on ever playing again.

But to answer your question

Far Cry: horrible update, AI is broken, don't care to fix it

Far Cry Primal: Didn't hate it but I didn't love it, caused major eye pain too so I couldn't play long.

Penumbra: Requiem: Abandoned the vibes of the previous two penumbra games which were the precursors to the amnesia games, didn't enjoy the puzzles either.

Planet Centauri: Development Hell, no interest anymore.

Sniper Elite: weird funky controls just not enjoyable for me got about midway through before tapping out.

We happy few: mostly abandoned by the devs, game suffered due to being rushed.

Out of those I beat 3, the rest I either didn't make the return window or kept for library collection reasons.

I do like the use of square brackets to abuse the alphabetisation.

Wow am I the only gamer who had no idea you could organise games into groups in steam? It never even occurred to me to look for this feature

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

i had them organised once upon a time but then i switched laptops and the categories didn't transfer so i just, never did that again

Oh fuck! To start, and to finish! What a great idea.

I just have genres, series, and have really nothing based on what I still have to play

I theme mine on how I play them:

  • play with friends

  • play when I have a short amount of time

  • more in-depth games

  • completed

  • unlikely to play (e.g. parts of bundles)

And yes, a bunch of uncategorized

[-] kartoffelsaft@programming.dev 8 points 8 months ago

I have mine set up with a bunch of categories that are sorted with a prepended 3-digit number. Allows me to have different sections of category without it getting mixed up. ex:

010 S
011 A+
012 A
013 A-
014 B+
etc...
350 plz play soon
355 wont play
...
800 dont remember buying this

I haven't added anything to a category other than favorites in a while. Just can't be bothered. I use my 'favorites' as an installed and/or probably will play again.

I still dont understand how people play varied games so far. I only have limited times and I can only slot it to play my comfort games. Even when i have extended times, eventually I just play the same things again.

TBH tho I usually just use recent activity, but having genres, mechanics, and "vibes" helps me find the game I'm in the mood to install and play. Some of the catagories are essentially useless tho as most people who tag games have no clue what certain genre's actually are, so I have to curate some of these I care about, I have too many games to do it without steam tags though.

[-] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 5 points 7 months ago
[-] eyeon@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

before steam had the built in library categorization I used a third party tool that created categories automatically based on tags

which is to say I have way too many useless categories now and need to wipe them all and start over 🙁

[-] figaro 5 points 7 months ago

Wait what's the difference between "Craig" and "Would play with Craig again"?

(Hall of honor as of now contains "Brothers: A tale of two sons", game brought me to tears so I created the category, shoved it in there and never played it again.)

[-] fushuan@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

Favs, a category just for PoE, semi-favs, and then some dynamic lists to get a fake "all" list.

Friendly reminder that “backlogs“ are prisons of your own making. There is no moral imperative to play or complete every game you buy!

[-] Sensitivezombie@lemmy.zip 4 points 8 months ago

Wouldn't games under Craig and Would play with Craig again overlap? Unless Craig has currently playing games.
