Can you at least remove the ones you can easily pirate?
I'm getting to the point where I have most of the games I want, with the exception of some more recent games which are still too expensive to consider buying (10% off is a joke) and might not run on my PC anyway. It doesn't help that Steam sales just don't seem as good anymore, now that they've gotten rid of daily deals and flash sales. It's not that I enjoyed having to check Steam every 8 hours throughout the duration of the sale, but I suspect that developers and publishers are less willing to offer deep discounts if those discounts need to be applied for a longer period of time.
Here's my current wishlist, but it hasn't been updated in a while. There are things I don't remember adding, and there are probably some other things that should be added. I think I should remove Hitman: Absolution. I generally refuse to pay more than the best price for a game, so I'll probably never be willing to pay more than $1 for it. (It was in the $1 tier of a Humble Bundle, but somehow I missed my chance to buy it.)
Neglected Automata for a while. Might pick that up with GGRev.

Well, I was going to suggest games based on your most played, but this is all semi-recent normie shit, and I mostly like old/indie games.
I actually haven't played ANY of the games in your image, except for Team Fortress 2, which I played briefly, just to get one of the special holiday achievements back when Steam sales were fun.
I would be interested in the Dark Souls series, if only it weren't built around a multiplayer feature which seems annoying as fuck. I have no interest in being """invaded""" by some dipshit. Can I just play alone without unplugging my internet? And, if so, is it still worth playing?

I bet you're one of those faggots that thinks Valve is gonna do another one of those "Win your entire wishlist via raffle!" events.well, so am II recently removed 100 games I either already own via keys or decided I don't want to actually play. I'm still removing games I added years ago.

>"Win your entire wishlist via raffle!"
When was this?
I remember "win 10 games from your wishlist" or something. And I remember "win every game on Steam". But giving away a prize whose value varies wildly based on the winner's use of the wishlist feature seems pretty dumb.
>>379817736
DS1 and 2 are pretty dead online, good games with low chance of ever getting invaded.
>>379818113
>"win 10 games from your wishlist" or something. And I remember "win every game on Steam"
maybe I just remember it wrong, but I swear it was "win your entire wishlist"
couldn't say how long ago this was, between 3 and 8 years ago.
>>379817967
No i just throw everything i sorta like into the bag. But then i check the prices and doesn't convince me.
I also need to clean this mess, i have like 3 BlazBlue i never bought.
>>379818208
You could be right. At one point, there was some raffle/contest in which a user needed 10 wishlist items in order to be eligible. I think that was probably the "win 10 things from your wishlist" one, but maybe it was the entire wishlist.
In any case, I hope they do stuff like that again someday, but Steam sales are just getting lazier every year. For a few years now, the entire "event" for each sale has consisted of 10 new trading cards. Total planning cost: 30 minutes of some Valve intern drawing a few trading card images. Soon, they might be too lazy even for that.
With daily deals gone, I suspect they're deliberately trying to make Steam sales lamer and lamer until nobody would notice if they stopped completely.

Dark Souls 2 SotSF was $12 on Humble Bundle
>>379818749
Have tried ds1 and sotfs but didn't like them.
>>379815842
might get dark souls 3 with season pass if its cheap enough
As you can see I'm a huge fucking casual
I have 1300 hours in Gmod, 8000 in CS:GO and 2000 in TF2 :(((((((((((((

>With daily deals gone
flash sales are gone, not daily deals... or maybe they removed that too and I'm just going to give up buying games I normally wouldn't buy unless they were on sale
>>379818959
>PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS
Imagine creating a video game and putting your tumblr username in the title.
Also, all-caps titles for Steam games should be banned, just like titles with ™. They make a library look like shit. If I already bought a game, I don't need it to say "LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME" every time I scroll through the list.
>>379819487
Daily deals were definitely gone in the last few sales. Each day had new games "featured" on the front page, but they weren't actually cheaper that day; the discounts were static.
>>379818959
Blood dragon is €1 on any g2jew site, get going.
sad thing is that everything in pic related isnt as fun as it used to be. been trying out other games from other genres in the meantime.
is xcom 2 worth a buy? i havent played EU/EW yet, is it worth skipping or should i play that first?
>see deal on steam
>double check with allkeyshop
>steam is still the more expensive option
Every time.
>>379820493
Played xcom eu for more than 100 hours but couldn't make it past 5 in xcom 2.
Have you tried rust or the new rising storm 2 vietnam?
>>379820537
RS2 vietnam for you too.
>>379820724
yeah, i tried rust for a good while. got a good 60 or so hours in it, but its just so unfulfilling to have your shit get looted/destroyed in the end. i may check out rising storm, ive seen a lot of my friends playing it but never bothered to see what its about. thanks anon!
>tfw most of the games on my wishlist arent even out yet
>>379820901
Just play skyrim already.
>>379818959
Nekopara is in the Humble Bundle. You can also avoid giving money to SP this way.
Is Quantum Break worth a pirate or is it just shit all around?
>>379821741
>Just play skyrim already.
i already did, and it sucks ass
>>379822112
Only get it for the story, it's a grafix fest with boring gameplay.
