Adding a way to know games you've finished

[kramkor]

Well, this is just a simple but useful idea: how about adding some way to know what games you've finished and which not. When you have 300+ games, you sometimes need some tool to keep track of that, and adding just a tick, for example, would be really cool. When you right-click on a game, there could be an option like "Mark as completed", and there would be some sort of mark next to the name of the game that marks it as a completed game, just that, very simple and very useful.
I hope this becomes a feature, as I would make great use of it.
Thank you for your time.

I kind of agree, my self I put the finished games in the hidden area or a category (If they also have a extra gaming like multiplayer)

Also, we really need FILTERS to sort our library. Sometimes I want to play a specific genre among my games and would be nice to have automatic tags (from the shop itself) or filters to help. This "Mark as completed" button would be awesome as well! Some of us search for other sites to track our progress through games since Steam doesn't support this kind of features.

I use categories for this at the moment.
You can manage your categories by right clicking on the game in the library and then clicking on "Set Category"

[mewki]

Yeah, I know. But still YOU have to do all the tagging. And do it for 500+ games isn't cool.

And if they add a tick you still have to go through your entire library and tick them off. I don't understand how this is a problem?

Cntrl + LMB throught the list, RMB and 'Set categories ...', create category "completed"

This is how i do it right now, The problem is that with a large library with tags and categories, you make it in principle double the size with the additional "completed" category. Well, yeah, you could theoretically minimize the "completed" category to hide it; But all thsoe points more or less indicate that this meta info is maybe not a category... but a tag. Like the OP suggested.

Make a category "incomplete"?
Categories in their current form are basically only usable as filtered lists. And "but it's work" is not an argument if you break it down into small chunks and change stuff as it needs change.

I have made big spread sheet to catalogue my games with all the information I need. It's like 15 minutes of work to update it each week. You just need to start doing stuff.

Yeah, understatement, I have over 2k games and I'd like to be able to sort them by achievement % completed so I can re-visit some that are near 100%. Saying we can categorise these things doesn't make much sense if you've lost track already. Unfortunately achievements is the only way to automatically track completedness and some games don't have them.

It would be be nice if games reported if a player has reached the end of the game (for games with set endings, most have) but really the horse has already bolted the stable.

I must be the only one who actually does this ... "UhI have umpteenth thousand games" ... well, get down and do something or your pile will never shrink.
I have ordered and reordered and added information countless times for my whole library. Either you really want this or you are just whining.

Regarding the last part: at what point is a game complete? Beating campagin on easy? What about games adding bonus stuff for harder difficulties or where NG+ are actually part of the whole experience (EDF games, Nier Automata)? What about side quests and collectibles? What about other game modes like challenges that counts towards in-game tracked game progression (Arkham Asylum)? What about games you don't need to complete to get 100 % of the achievements? What about episodicals (Telltale stuff)? What about DLC that continues the story (Broken Steel for Fallout 3)? What about Japanese games where true endings and multiple game over situations are common?

It will always be up to you to decide when a game is done.

This idea sounds really nice

What? No...I meant: Steam would automatically create categories for the games based on the tags they already have on the store. Just make them visible and more organized on the library. The way you saying is me passing through all 500 games I have and select the category.....I don't want to do that. It would facilitate our lives if they could put that, that's all.

The COMPLETED tag could be something you tick, no problem, coz It wouldn't be so painful to do that after all.
