Steam allowing custom tags is potentially interesting if we tag enough.

[quote="Pirateguybrush"]Oksy, let's go with "3D Vision" if it works (with a patch or native), "3D Vision Requested" if it doesn't.
Everyone good with that?[/quote]
I'm ok with that. Just to clarify: Only games that are near perfect get the "3D Vision" tag? (Games that you would rank "excellent" wouldn't get this tag?)

I'm not sure if 3D Requested really helps.
I definitely like the all encompassing 3D Vision for everything that works. Not only does it funnel everything into a single tag (more popularity), but it's shorter. And shorter tags have a better chance of making the front page since space is at a premium.
I still might use the tag of "No Stereo 3D" for a couple of games. Because some games just seem like they could work and completely don't. Take "Joe Danger" for example. The Steam page listed the game as DX10. I bought it with the hope maybe I'd also get 3D to work. And it turns out the game was OpenGL. It never even had a chance.

Just noticed a game called Dream on Steam has "Oculus Rift" tag. You can search by this tag and get some 6-8 games such as Surgeon Simulator or Euro Truck Simulator. There is still no 3D Vision tag.
Either we as a community have really hit rock bottom and 3D Vision (one of the most exciting technologies I've ever experienced) is more obscure and less popular than VR (a technology nobody yet adequately experienced) or ... developers/Steam can apply tags as well. In which case, Nvidia or any dev can tag any game that [u]launches[/u] in 3D Vision as "3D Vision".
I've tagged my library, but there is not more that I can do.

I think the problem is there are several hundred games that needed to be tagged for 3d vision which makes any movement hard. Rift having 6-8 titles makes it much easier in that regard.
Tomb Raider has 3D tag though.
----------------------------------------------
I do believe the best examples of games to add 3D/3D vision supported are games where developer added it to games especially since I know some of them did it on there own dime. It would be a nice token gesture and may help them continue trend.
Tomb Raider
Shadow Warrior
Hard Reset
RetroVirus
I am sure there are others but I am drawing a blank.

I admit I was not very clear. My train of thought was:
A game called Dream is tagged "Oculus Rift". If I press that tag I get a dozen other games, so the tag is "stickied/official"
I go to a the Tomb Raider gamepage and press one of the tags I used "3D Vision" and I get a notification that not enough games have been tagged 3D Vision for Steam to recommend a game list.
I alone have tagged most of my library as "3D Ready", so there are definitely other games tagged as such, which Steam could propose.
My logic was:
An early access game like Dream could not have been tagged Oculus Rift more times than Tomb Raider must have been tagged 3D Vision, especially after our discussion here.
So, in conclusion, my fear was:
What if there are two tier type of tags? One done by users, where a game must be tagged hundreds of times in order to "sticky" the tag. And obviously there were not enough of us doing the 3D Vision tagging, or maybe not to the same games.
And another tag type, done by Steam administrators at developer's request. Such as the Oculus Rift, for example.
In this case, Steam only needs to apply the tag [u]once[/u], and it sticks.
So, what I was trying to say is: If this assumption is correct, then Nvidia/developers could ask Steam to tag a game with "3D Vision" even if the game's only 3D virtue is to start up in 3D Vision (even if broken).
That would make our little 3D-exposure / tag-searching initiative here quite irrelevant.
In this case, even if we struggled for simplicity and clarity, our only change to leave a little community trail will be to really use words that would have meaning in the context of our communioty, such as "Helix", or "community 3D fix" etc.
Not that there will be enough of us doing that to make any tag impact on Steam.

Well its only been a few days. 3D seems to be the popular tag. Though I am a bit frightened that it seems some of the games listed are modded in with support and no one has any idea about that.
Though it seems to me that the issue is the same as this thread. Where some one is trying 3d vision, an other is using 3d, another is using 3dvision ready so none get traction [though 3D seems to have].

Which is why we are having this discussion. The only way we get any traction is if we all use the same tag, not a bunch of random words.
Zappologist, don't give up so soon, we haven't even started. I know I'm not tagging anything until we have a consensus on what the right tag is. It's not like it's a race or anything. Tags is still in Beta for crying out loud.
I wouldn't worry at all about Oculus Rift as a tag. The Oculus Rift people are still in a feeding frenzy as 'the next big thing.' Oculus makes for an absolutely killer demo, and there is more excitement behind Rift than SteamBox for example. We have no prayer of achieving that level of frenzy, and more to the point, it doesn't matter. Tags are not mutually exclusive. Also, VR is [i]already [/i]a category in Steam.
Please don't get too concerned, Oculus Rift success does not mean we fail. The world is big enough for all of us.
I still think we should use "3D Vision". And I think that it should include any game we would actually play in 3D Vision, even excellent or less. If it was worth playing in 3D Vision, it's worth a tag.
I don't understand the "3D" tag by itself, and it seems to be a pretty poorly used tag. When something gets used too much like that it loses meaning and value. It looks to me like people are using it as a counter to 2D, and have no intention of meaning stereoscopic.
We may or may not get any traction with a tag that we all use, but that doesn't mean it's not worth trying.

Hi Bo3b,
I agree. I was in no way suggested that we quit trying.
I was just pointing to the fact that, if there is indeed a hardcoded or administrator-enforced tag creation (like maybe the "Oculus Rift" one) then our "3D Vision" tag will just be the same as what Nvidia will ask Steam administrators to use (presumably "3D Vision"), in which case our tagging will no longer reflect what we were trying to accomplish, namely marking games as "enjoyable in 3D Vision, whether out of the box or after applying community fixes". There will be no distinguishing between what Nvidia via Steam tagged as 3D Vision, which could be any broken game. You get my point.
Also, unless I'm mistaken, I was under the impression that we had agreed already: we tag "3D Vision" every game we enjoyed in 3D, where 3D did not distract from the experience, good or perfect, listed on Helix blog or 3D ready at launch, etc.
I've already marked all my games as such (things like Tomb Raider, Dishonoured, Skyrim, the Fallouts, the Trines, even Dirt 3 etc, you know, the boys :-))
We can decide later if it's worth creating other tags, but it's too soon to say where the Steam tag concept will end up.
EDIT
Just to comment on the quirkiness of the tags atm: I've seen some people here mention the "3D" tag. i've never seen it proposed for me or listed among the "popular" tags, at all. I don't think you can search for a specific tag. Also, among the tags Steam recommeds for me is "DRM"! How did they know I like DRM so much? LOLZ

Cool. I think it's unlikely that there are actual admin based tags at this point. If they want something more official they use categories instead. Pretty sure the Rift tags are just based on the enthusiasm of their users, and the obviousness of "Oculus Rift" as a tag.
Based on what we've seen NVidia do in the last couple of years I will be pretty shocked if they make any effort whatsoever to tag games in Steam officially. They've been more active recently, so maybe, but I think it's super unlikely that "3D Vision" will be tagged by anyone except us.

Sonic and Sega Racing had just a 3D tag. Although it's been kicked off the store page for the "Sega" tag. FFS. Like the search engine didn't already do that search.
Anyways, a single person doing tags isn't enough to make something popular enough. The tag just is too nice.
So I'm going with the standard the seems to be agreed upon: [b]3D Vision[/b].
That's for anything that's good in 3D Vision. Modded or not. People can do the work if they need to know. And anyone who's into 3D, should somehow stumble upon the Helix site anyway. Pretty much all 3D centric sites/posts constantly reference this.
Sticking with 3D Vision funnels everything into a single tag (increasing the chances it becomes a popular term) and also keeps letters to a minimum (which would help it get on some store pages).

EXPERIMENT TIME: How many tags does a game need before the tag is termed "popular"? Trackmania Valley and F1 Race Stars are both excellent in 3D. Both games only have a single tag on their store page: "Racing." If everyone in this thread tags those two games, would it be enough for "3D Vision" to be termed popular and make the front page.

nobody uses proper uppercasing when searching. ppl also don't search for 3dvision by having it one word. if a person is new to 3D, they surely wouldn't know what the heck a helix or a eqzitara is. the only 2 things that really make sense to waste your time on are '3D' and '3D Vision'. that pretty much sums up everything and are what most ppl will search for anyway if they didn't see other tags.

Based on what we've seen NVidia do in the last couple of years I will be pretty shocked if they make any effort whatsoever to tag games in Steam officially. They've been more active recently, so maybe, but I think it's super unlikely that "3D Vision" will be tagged by anyone except us.

Sonic and Sega Racing had just a 3D tag. Although it's been kicked off the store page for the "Sega" tag. FFS. Like the search engine didn't already do that search.
Anyways, a single person doing tags isn't enough to make something popular enough. The tag just is too nice.
So I'm going with the standard the seems to be agreed upon: 3D Vision.
That's for anything that's good in 3D Vision. Modded or not. People can do the work if they need to know. And anyone who's into 3D, should somehow stumble upon the Helix site anyway. Pretty much all 3D centric sites/posts constantly reference this.
Sticking with 3D Vision funnels everything into a single tag (increasing the chances it becomes a popular term) and also keeps letters to a minimum (which would help it get on some store pages).
