People ashamed of games they bought?

darthaegis · Dec 4, 2015

Or shit they just got for free, sold the cards and want to get rid of it now.

Hoaxmetal · Dec 4, 2015

Meh, tried removing some stuff but a lot of it is "bundled" etc. I'll just keep using the hide option in library.

LennyFromMotorbread · Dec 5, 2015

Maybe the best Steam feature yet.

I deleted Always Sometimes Monsters and Teleglitch from my account and then jerked the fuck off.

That's what you get for begging so much shit from the beg thread.

ITT people are willingly reducing the size of their steam e-peen. Trully, the faggotry has won.

ValveTime unearthed screenshots from Arkane's canceled Half-Life 2 Episode 4 "Return to Ravenholm": http://www.valvetime.net/threads/ne...evealed-valvetime-spotlight-exclusive.246580/

But I thought

So it's accurate, right? We don't go to Ravenholm.

WTF HALF-LIFE 3 CONFIRMED: https://steamdb.info/sub/66300/

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1151754

And more unannounced Steam releases found on SteamDB including FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Remaster and Danganronpa.

edit: It's via Steam Help Desk leaks.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1151748

edit 2: SteamDB's explanation regarding the leaks: https://steamdb.info/blog/recent-package-name-additions/

While this information comes straight from Valve and many of these kinds of leaks turned out to be real in the past, it is important to note that third-party Steam developers can create and name their own apps/packages, a noteworthy mention of developers doing this are these packages, in which they are trying to XSS Steam.

Many things could also be old entries and as such no longer be in development/coming to Steam. An example of a previous leak that ended up being nothing (yet) is Halo 3.

TLDR: Half-Life 3 still not confirmed.

HL3 AND a new Bad Rats game

Rumor: Half-Life 3 may use Steam as a release platform

IHaveHugeNick · Dec 6, 2015

Meh, I still haven't beaten Half-Life 2.

SirSingAlot · Dec 6, 2015

neither do i.
i am stuck in some early stage and camp there until i have killed every single soldier they send at me

Infinitron · Dec 6, 2015

LESS T_T Seems like the HL3 might be fake because there's no hyphen in "Half Life".

Do tell me if you find anything more RPG-related in this leak, though.

I've made like 5 attempts since 2004 and always get bored out of my ass after few hours.

Nexon Obsidian https://steamdb.info/app/405793/

An Obsidian game...published by Nexon?

:troll:

(Yeah, it could be just Nexon's Project Obsidian or something.)

EDIT: Ah, there's also Splash Damage Obsidian (https://steamdb.info/app/405800/subs/). It's Nexon published game and looks like obsidian is some kind of currency or item in the game.

Defender of the Crown: Heroes Live Forever https://steamdb.info/sub/52478/ Heh.

This was actually part of a much wider leak caused by the ability to delete games (I'm not sure exactly how it works)

http://pastebin.com/WtZU1zzH

Fantasy Life is a bit curious given that while it was a third party game, NoA and NoE translated it (seperately), but given how awful NoA's translations was (any characterization is replaced by stupid jokes) it needs a new translation.

same, i like me some mindless FPS here and there and from what i heard the campaign in HL 2 must be pretty sweet, but honestly it never really got me and those endless respawing dudes kinda got on my nerves quickly.
(i always role play and try to kill every enemy, so there isnt anyone able to spread the word about who attacked them)

The Call of Cthulhu https://steamdb.info/app/399810/ (Frogware game?)

Vikings - Wolves of Midgard https://steamdb.info/app/404590/ (Kalypso's unannounced title: https://tmdb.eu/trademark/014051429/eu/vikings-wolves-of-midgard)

Clandestine - Simulation Missions https://steamdb.info/app/414690/ (Sounds like DLC)

Crusader Kings II: Zeus https://steamdb.info/app/394320/ (Sounds like an expansion https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/so-crusader-kings-2-zeus.895660/)

Over 3,500+ leaked entries, most are unidentifiable ("BaW", "P1", "Haures", "New Project"), useless ("test", "temp", "Hello World") or already known.

I wonder why most of identifiable titles are Japanese ones.

deuxhero · Dec 7, 2015

The reason I'd guess is because they're ports. This means 1: Different development style, as you basically just skip to the final testing and hammering issues after the initial stages, so it has a name and relatively complete datafiles pretty early on 2: Porting is done by smaller companies, which may have employees who don't live nearby or even lack a building entirely, and have external beta testers. This means it's more likely to be on Steam's servers than a company one

Helldivers, the first Sony published game on Steam, is out now: http://store.steampowered.com/app/394510/

And according to the recent DB leak, "Journey" and "Everybody's Gone to the Rapture" could be their next Steam releases.

MicoSelva · Dec 7, 2015

The first step has been made. Is it too naive to start hoping for Demon's Souls and/or Bloodborne too? I do not even mind waiting some more years. I just want them on PC eventually.
