a tags system can be good, just don't let the general public near it. steam's tags are useless because devs and players both abuse it and it's impossible to find anything that's actually that thing.

also, here's a dilemma. randomly checked an fmv game, which also has the visual novel tag. now I'm not arguing they're always different things, only presented differently, but if I marked visual novels as ignored because I don't like them, it'd also hide some of the cheesy fmv goodness.

Yes, and it would be even nicer without unnecessary CAPS LOCK.

But better search options are always needed.



Yeah, both tags mentioned in the OP are wrong.
One is worded differently in the tags list, and another one doesn't seem to exist at all.

So I'm not quite sure if this was a newsworthy thing, there are some new tags, and half of them don't even really exist? OK.


Also, if we get very technical about these things, some of the games that pixel graphics tag shows are very questionable recommendations, as they are in fact remakes where there is only some facsimile mode of some pixel arts from the original game.

And I'm not sure if games like Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 are what people looking for pixel arts want to see. Maybe very technically it qualifies for that, but usually pixel arts is used for games where there is some protagonist in 2D environments or something. Certainly very different from Rollercoaster Tycoon's fake 3D isometric view.

Not mine. shrug

Can we get "Roguelike" listed under Genres?

that list needs a serious expansion.

Very interesting. Now, could you implement some kind of a hentai filter that stays selected?

Lol, I pity the guy who has to play all 4220 games in order to tag them correctly.
170 tags is a lot. Is there a way to hide the tags, I won`t use? Maybe a filter option, so I can browse the tags comfortably?

Edit: Ha, my jokey suggestion is already implemented :) Nice work, Gog!

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING? :P

... and yes, I had noticed a plethora of tags in the backend and always wondered why they were not in the website game search catalog. Guess it was a work in progress. Anyway, I applaud the belated change ;). P.S.: For the love of all that's holy, can you please also add a way to search for DOSBox and ScummVM powered games?

Please add the tags into Library so they can be used there

There is some confusion between tags and genres; some are repeated in the two categories.

I wonder why I thought there'd be a graphical representation.

Excellent :) I was absolutely delighted to find that there's a "survival horror" tag :) Yes, I'd suggest that there are probably a couple of other games that should be included in this tag (eg: "Silent Hill 4" and maybe both "Remothered" games) but I'm still amazed that this tag actually exists now :)

It's a major improvement over the old system where - if I wanted to search for all horror games - I actually had to open up a page for a horror game and click on the tags there :) Congratulations again :)

To further enhace the ability to find exactly what we want, in the shortest time possible, a list of all available tags would be nice.
Simply insert the list into this OP.

Or even better: find a way to display them all where they are actually needed - in the store (per mouse click via a "show all tags available" pop up, or something like that).
