Steam's Top Ten Most Wishlisted Games 8-4-23

[ZedClampet]

SteamDB doesn't list how often they've been wishlisted, just the order:

1) Starfield
2) Hollow Knight: Silksong
3) Party Animals
4) Hades 2
5) Manor Lords
6) Payday 3
7) Cities Skylines 2
8) Frostpunk 2
9) STALKER 2
10) Ark 2

The two surprises for me are Party Animals, which I've never heard of, and Manor Lords, a colony sim with dumbed down Total War combat.

It's nice to see Payday 3 here after the studio was seemingly on the verge of closing.

Starfield is the only one on my list.

Where's Baldur's Gate 3?? Am I the only one that still has the game on his wishlist!?

Where's Baldur's Gate 3?

My first thought too—maybe it's only unreleased games?

I got 4 there, Cities Skylines 2, STALKER 2, Manor Lords, Starfield.

It's not only unreleased games, but unreleased games have an advantage because many people bought BG3 during the years it was in early access. For instance, taking the average from 4 companies that estimate sales, BG3 has sold over 3 million copies on Steam, about 2/3 of those during early access, but none of those 3 million, of course, have the game on their wishlist since they already own it.

Personally, I'd never buy an RPG in early access, but apparently a lot of people don't have that problem.

I actually don't put games like BG3 and Starfield on my wishlist. It's not like I'm going to forget them.

By the way, I tend to believe SteamSpy because they used to always be right on the money, and they claim the game has sold 6.52 million, mostly in early access. These people have clearly never heard of the patient gamers club.

STALKER 2 is the only one here i wishlisted. Starfield isnt wishlisted because im going to be playing it on gamepass for free because i feel its going to be a buggy mess when it launches. The rest im not interested in.

Oh, they've heard! Unfortunately, we don't offer punch & pie yet...

I got no use for PayDay 3. After all the crap with PD2 and all the dlcs......

Looking forward to StarField, Hollow Knight 2 and Stalker 2.
Gonna snag Starfield for my bday and enjoy it in all it's glitchiness glory before it gets patched.
I hope it brings as many laughs as Cyberpunk did and still does with it's glitches while still being a fun game.

As much as I’m excited for Starfield it definitely is a Gamepass first kind of game. If I enjoy it a lot I’ll buy it on the first sale.

I have all those games on my wishlist besides Hollow Knight, Hades 2 and Manor Lords. My wishlist is mostly a huge collection of games I’m interested in playing at some point in the future. I have games on there going back to 2012 haha.

It looks like you've provided a list of the top wishlisted games on SteamDB as of August 4, 2023. These are the most anticipated games by Steam users, based on their wishlists. Here's a brief overview of the games mentioned in your list:

1. Starfield: An upcoming space exploration RPG developed by Bethesda Game Studios, known for its open-world games like the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series.
2. Hollow Knight: Silksong: The sequel to the critically acclaimed indie game "Hollow Knight," this is a challenging 2D action-adventure game with a focus on exploration and combat.
3. Party Animals: This is a multiplayer party game where players control adorable animals in various fun and chaotic scenarios.
4. Hades 2: The sequel to the popular roguelike dungeon crawler "Hades," known for its fast-paced combat, rich narrative, and Greek mythology setting.
5. Manor Lords: A colony simulation game with simplified Total War-style combat mechanics, combining city-building and tactical battles.
6. Payday 3: The third installment in the cooperative first-person shooter series that focuses on heists and robberies, developed by OVERKILL Software.
7. Cities Skylines 2: A sequel to the popular city-building simulation game "Cities: Skylines," where players create and manage their own cities.
8. Frostpunk 2: The sequel to the steampunk-themed city-building and survival game "Frostpunk," where players must manage resources and make difficult moral decisions to ensure their city's survival.
9. STALKER 2: A long-awaited sequel to the cult-classic open-world shooter series set in a post-apocalyptic, radioactive zone known as "The Zone."
10. Ark 2: The second installment in the "Ark: Survival Evolved" series, an action-adventure survival game with a focus on crafting, building, and taming dinosaurs.

It's indeed interesting to see games like "Party Animals" and "Manor Lords" making appearances on the list, as they might be lesser-known titles compared to some of the other big franchises. Additionally, it's heartening to see "Payday 3" on the list after the studio faced challenges. Keep in mind that gaming preferences are subjective, so the surprises and excitement may vary among different players.

@Brian Boru You have to admit that, while still completely obvious, the spam has really improved its content since the advent of AI.

And the grammar is FAR better! One of them used a semicolon recently without a ) immediately following it! (And then it spoiled it all by not putting a comma in front of "too.")
