This thread is perhaps my favourite on SG, its made me aware of games I'm really interested in but didn't know were even in the works. I'm not an avid follower of gaming news, so seeing things like Dawn of War 3, which I didn't even know was getting made, is really useful.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks! It's great with everyone helping out as well. If you're curious, the original post also has a link to all games being released on Steam, not only the higher profile ones/the ones with release date.
As I mentioned before, I'm really excited about adding Hellblade and Bannerlord to the list, since those are two of the games I'm looking forward to the most.
Maybe we should skip the "no release date" rule and just put them at the bottom of the list.

I thought they delayed the release of South Park - Fractured but whole until 1st quarter of 2017

Why? Pull the average of the critics and the users, and it is usually pretty damn accurate.

Metascore usually represent the effect it had playing it the first time, and often for a limited time. It is also distorted by marketing money, yes.
But 50% doesn't mean it is bad, it is a misconception that stems from people reading too many reviews and thinking only 75%+ should be considered. 50 means average, and there are plenty of people who want an average game, just like how they like to watch average films.
And average also means some will genuinely like it. One of my all-time favourite point 'n' clicks is Still Life, which is usually considered an average adventure game, but for me it was an awesome experience.
This is why, for example, I believe Metascore for that recent CoD. It is almost exactly 50%, and what I saw about it thus far, it looks like a generic by-the-numbers console shooter, nothing less, nothing more. A perfect average mass-market consumer game that does nothing but give the same experience all its predecessors did. And the score reflects that.

I agree, that's the reason why I decided to add the Metascore.
If a game has a high Metascore, then generally the game has something interesting to offer, and it's a game that would appeal to many players, but it's never a guarantee that a certain score means a good/enjoyable game for every taste.
Just like those chance to hit percentages when playing the original Fallout games / XCOM. You feel pretty confident at 90% but you can always end up getting disappointed in what was supposed to be an almost sure thing... and then there are those lower percentage situations that end up impressing you ;)

Had a stray shot from an autofire once critical-hit a floating disk in a terror mission, blowing it up along with the highest-ranking alien of that level. Chances for that in the engine were under 1%.
Then of course had my high-ranking grunt somehow miss a heavy plasma auto-fire from point blank at 99%. I think he survived, at least I generally don't tend to lose soldiers in the original XCOM after power armour.

I agree - my opinion of a game is usually strongly differs from Metascore, so I just stopped listening to the critics =(
Recently I'm usually agree with steam overall percentage.

Wow, talk about releasing ahead of schedule :D I'll update it.

Uh-oh. PoE received almost 50 gamerule-changing patches after its release, I fear an early release on Tyranny will mean I should pick it up in 2 years or so to get the actual final edition…
Comment has been collapsed.
I think they stopped the latter. At least after the second complete overhaul of the rule system, I didn't see any more large patches with three pages worth of balance changes. This is why I plan to properly finish it up next year when I get to the end of my backlog finally.

Oh, wow! Thank you very much for introducing Prey for the Gods to me! It looks amazing! ♥

I haven't had much spare time for Steamgifts lately, and I've been putting it off updating the main post, but now I've gone through your list, copying the release dates from the Steam store pages, and also added a category for games without a release year specified.

It's not even ranking on the community wishlist, nor an AAA game though.

If they ever go on and finish the game, I expect it to end up on the top 50 on the community wishlist around release. I added it, since several users have mentioned it.

The game will be released in Steam Early Access in Autumn 2014.
Seems to be abandoned

"Before the Apocalypse" [Pit People](http://store.steampowered.com/app/291860/)By Behemoth. Might interest people?
Checked, and it's #167 on community wishlist, apparently
Not sure when the actual release will be, but their betas have been done for a bit so, maybe soon?

AER is still listed as being released 2016, even though it wasn't released during the year. I'll let it stay on that spot until the release date is updated, I'll try to check every now and then.

There are some games on the list being released at the end of this week and the coming two weeks, but since I'll be away from home for quite many days that period, I might not have enough SG-time to update the list until the 30th (the time I might have until then I'll try to spend playing more games and writing less here :D)
Comment has been collapsed.
I thought we could make a thread for not yet released games, an easy way to find them and add the interesting ones to your wishlist. To keep the list easier to maintain, let's limit it to AAA games and other highly anticipated titles that probably will make it high up on the Community Wishlist (games you expect will make it to the top 50 or so on that list when released). There are loads of awesome less known/lower budget games, but let's not add everything, there's already a list for that.
Since I won't have much time to edit the list, and it can be a pain fetching/copying information from several sources while using SG from the phone, please only post additions to the list with the formatting specified at the end of the post, I will only add games from posts with the proper formatting.
Released games are moved from the list and their placement at the community wishlist checked when a Metacritic score is available, usually somewhere between the day of release and a week after release. If there is no Metacritic score after about a week, the game will be moved up with a n/a score, or the console version score used, if applicable. Some weeks after release I'll do a second check with the community wishlist, since games tend to get higher up on the wishlist after release. I'll keep the higher value in the list.
Sorted by date of release (release date when added to the list, if it changes, let me know and I'll update):

Feel free to add the games you think should be on the list in the comments! If the game has a release date (or, at least a release year) specified, Include the release date (YYYY-MM-DD) and the link to the store page and I'll update the original post.
This is how you format your addition, use four spaces before the release date (Another option is to use three `-characters in a row on the line before and after the one you want to mark as code. See here for more information, scroll down to "Code") to make the comment in code format so I can copy it to the main post:
