Application post. What are you playing this month?
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm gonna finish Stories: The Path of Destinies first, although it doesn't qualify for the challenge because I've already sunk 7ish hours into it late June, getting most of the achievements already.
So... For the challenge I think I'm gonna pick The Sexy Brutale, which is a fresh win from the group :3
Edit: challenge completed!
As far as SG wins are concerned in addition to Stories: The Path of Destinies and my monthly pick The Sexy Brutale, I ended up beating/completing Virginia, Kimmy and Crimson Trigger
Comment has been collapsed.
No extra challenge this month due to medical reasons, so gonna play The Escapists or Chaos on Deponia
Comment has been collapsed.
I will participate, of course, just not quite sure with which game yet. Will edit this later :3
Edit: Alright, I think I'll go with Dwarfs!? this month. What better game to pick than the oldest unplayed win from a 100k copies giveaway that has probably been played by less than 0.1% of the winners xD
Edit2: Adding Hyperlight Drifter to the mix as well ^^
Edit3: Started working on Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter
Comment has been collapsed.
Dwarfs!? - beaten (?) - There's no real "ending" to this one, but I did finish a 60min arcade (maximum time limit) without dying (on easy, admittedly) so there's that. Also finished all the minigame achievements (not like they were particularly hard :P)
Edit: Hyper Light Drifter - beaten too :3
Edit2: Sherlock Holmes 100%'d. Decent game, but poor performance (constant frame drops on my gtx 960, despite the recommended card being gtx 760) and some annoying minigames/puzzles (They can be skipped but you won't unlock the achievements for them)
Comment has been collapsed.
I hope I'm allowed to resubmit The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. As of today I only have 11% of achievements in it, but I have put 26 hours into the game already. I think I'm going to take at least another 25 hours to beat the game - I have at least another two chapters to complete - so I don't think that I'm cheating - but I don't want to game the system either!
Comment has been collapsed.
With colossal games such as that I think it's okay. The "rules" are there mostly to prevent stuff like "i'll play CSGO" with 300 hours registered already. Since you haven't finished the campaign I don't see why not, as long as we're playing(and hopefully enjoying) our wins that's all that matters! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Kung-Fu Strike to stick with the monthly challenge.
And since I won the DLC also on Steamgifts, that's basically a double win if I manage to beat both.
EDIT: BOTH THE GAME AND THE DLC BEATEN.
So I managed a double win, this month. :p
Comment has been collapsed.
The only game that fits on this month's theme is Tales from the Borderlands but I don't know if I should play it before playing Borderland series. So I am going for Duke Nukem Forever which is the 6th oldest game that I won on SG.
Edit: Completed (except the DLCs that I don't have.)

i will participate playing A Story About My Uncle thanks <3

Ok, since I already decided what I'll play for the blaeo theme, now it's time for the sg monthly.
I'll play: Hacknet! (Just because Armada 2526 Gold Edition doesn't count. But they are both in my next/first batch, so it'll all work out :) )
Thank you for hosting ;)

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing.
Ashamed to say I won it more than a year ago.This month it's going down! Fits nicely with BLAEO's theme :)
EDIT: Beaten. I'll try to get as much achievements as I can, but I don't think 100%ing this one is realistic.
Comment has been collapsed.
And I just realised that with setting up the post I forgot to apply myself :P
I'll be playing Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams - Rise of the Owlverlord this month
Comment has been collapsed.
Well as I mentioned somewhere above the "rules" aren't so firm, they're mostly in place to help avoid cases of "hey, I've won X random online FPS in which I've already logged 500 hours and will continue to do so" and to maybe incentivize someone to play something they normally wouldn't, and who knows, maybe even love it. So as long as it's not something like that then it'd probably count :P
Plus this runs for a month so there's ample time regardless of what everyone's playing when the month starts.
Btw you skipped a word in the challenge. It's 5 oldest unplayed wins. It could be your 5th, 7th, 13th, 25th and 37th wins overall if you've played(and not necessarily finished. No reason to torture people with wins they tried and didn't like) everything else between them.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well this time I am not going to let someone to challenge me and I will pick myself Deadlight as it is one of games someone challenged me in past months and I didn´t get to it as I played other ones.
It will be hard one this month as it is game I am not sure if I will like, but I will give it a try.:)
And aswell I will beat Grim Legends 3 as it is PA game I won, but it doesn´t meet theme.:)

Last month, I played ABZU, but didn't manage to finish it. This month, I'll try Rogue Stormers .
Comment has been collapsed.
ABZU isn't an action game, so I have been taking my time and enjoying it. P
Rogue Stormers is a lot more structured, so I'm more likely to progress through it.
Comment has been collapsed.
So, it turns out that Rogue Stormers is a rogue-like, and actually finishing it is problematic at best. After way too many hours, I have finally learned how to progress through the game without dying every time I play. Also, I finally managed to complete all levels of the game on my starting character. Of course, there are five or six other characters, but one completion is a start. D
Completed!
(And comment left for the gifter.)

Comment has been collapsed.
alright well I already started HMH:SMNCUB (my second win) but I'm going try and actually play through the entire storyline.
I'm not sure how well this will go but I hope to be able to consider it finished.
I also have Adam Wolf beat the first chapter of 4 but I don't really consider that played through so I hope to beat it as well this month
Comment has been collapsed.
FORGOT TO POST THAT I WAS FINISHED
I beat Adam Wolf and played through hero 30
...said in my BLEAO post I'm not sure if it counts as beaten or not cause there are harder area's but I played through hero 30 and it got repetative near the end so after finishing that I'm not sure if I'll end up playing through the harder modes (classic evil lord 30 etc)
Adam Wolf I played through the whole game tho fell short of 100%ing it cause of using a hint near the start rippu the last cheevo I got saying "finished but not beaten"
..also completed the next win 100% puzzle agent. \o/ post
probably don't have time this month but I'm going to start my newest wins for the rest of this month

Beater Spirit. Looks like a short game so I will 100% it this month. Didn't want to pick up something longer since summer sale just ended and I'm playing some of the games I bought first :)
FINISHED
Awful game, very repetitive and crappy (it was fun for the first 10-15 minutes only haha). I don't know why it has good reviews, it feels like the developers were trying to make a metroidvania or beat'em up game, but only managed to write the code for the main character and 3 enemies, so they just made a "training mode" and put it on Steam for $6.

Per this month's challenge, I'm going to play Tomb Raider: Legend.

I've finished Nightmares from the Deep 3: Davy Jones.
Woned - 09/24/2016
Finished - 07/08
Plus, 100% achievements.
Playtime: 5 hours. (Steam records 8, but the first 3 are from the cards farming).
Comment has been collapsed.
I've finished The Fall.
Woned - 08/3/2016
Finished - 07/28 ("Will continued..." but in Spanish).
Actually I just have the 88% of the achievements.
NOTE: Some of 'em (like Validated, Fallen and Merciful) mark the same hour of unlock 'cause they be unlocked after the game was closed, not when I acomplish the requirements in-game. I want to keep it clear before somebody comes to call me cheater.
Playtime: 4 hours. (Steam records 6, but the first 2 are from the cards farming and a previuos playtime in which I only finish the first part of the game, which is mostly a tutorial).
Comment has been collapsed.
I plan on playing Fearful Symmetry. :)
edit: I really wanted to beat this challenge but I'm stuck on the final level. Have spent 2 hours trying everything I can think of and unable to beat it....getting frustrating at this point more than fun. :/ I'm probably not gonna be able to play much this next week too so idk if I have time to beat a whole other game in the meantime.
edit 2: I DID IT!! AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF. :D Completed (boo ya! haha)

I don't understand why Lasagna need their own month, I mean everyone likes lasagna already.
And it doesn't help their case that some abominations like Veggie Lasagna or Nutella lasagna(yes, that's actually a thing...) are spearheading their world domination agenda :\
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't have any unplayed wins left. ;_;
I guess I could muster the spiritual strength to try to suffer through Fahrenheit again to get the achievements (what smartass thought it would be funny to add achievements to a decade-old game years after its Steam release is beyond me)…
Comment has been collapsed.
Or... you could just skip since you're part of the 1% of the SG population(not an actual percentage) that has actually played all their wins. Kudos to you! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Frankly, those achievement bug me a bit, because I know I can do them in 6-7 hours. Thing is, it will not be the most fun 6-7 hours, because while the story('s first half) is pretty good, the game design part is one of the worst in history. (At least it taught me to just watch Quantic Dream games on YT instead of ever trying to play any of them again. Funny enough, as films, they are incredibly good.)
Also, I think it is a LOT more exclusive than 1%. I am guessing 0.01% at the absolute very best, but I am somehow sceptic about being ten thousand people here who actually played all their games, even if they never fully finished (m)any (I have one unfinished one as well, and it will stay that way).
Comment has been collapsed.
That's actually how I "watched" Heavy Rain too(part of it, I stopped cause I really want to play it someday. Just gotta wait for a PS3 emulator. So maybe 10 years from now? :P)
Their recent games though(Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit) look awesome! They're 3 of the max 10 games that would even make me consider getting a Playstation again
And agreed on the percentage you present, I just used the 1% cause of the elite society reference it carries :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, actually the PS3 emulator has been evolving quite rapidly in the last few months. I believe Demon Souls is "playable" and Red Dead Redemption already goes in-game... So maybe not 10 years but a few months of wait so you (and all of us) can play some good exclusives? :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I think that July will also be 'play only games you happen to play with the kids'. Which was Super Mario 3D World yesterday.
Still, it's a nice initiative, and I really need to get to playing Harvey's New Eyes one day. Still, probably won't happen any time soon.

Hm, was also wondering the same, maybe I understood it wrong, but i thought this post was only meant for previous months and one wouldn't need it for the june event. But I see how tracking all can be a bit hard.

Any prize for finishing the game? 'cause I ain't playing for nothing. xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Just joking. xD Thought it would be good if you would make some rewards for first 10 people completing games or something like that. Otherwise - I prefer to play it when I feel like to play them.
Comment has been collapsed.
What's the point of that? If I like game that I won, I will play it, if I don't like it very much - I won't. "Play a game you won" is like forcing people to play their won games and for what? To tell other people "I won game and I played it" ?
It's a game giveaway site, not win-and-play. If you want people to play their won games, just make a reward for it, or create a group similar to "playing appreciated" or something like that... I just see no point in playing game just because someone wants July to be "play a game you won month".
No offense, just replied to people saying that playing a game is good "reward" for us...

Hello everyone!
skanda has some other obligations to attend to this month so I'll be your host this time!
Is everyone ready for yet another challenge?!
Rules for this month's challenge
(Optional) This month's challenge theme
The "So you were once entering everything in sight? Time to pay for that!" challenge! Aka the April theme with a twist ;)
We've already done a most recent wins challenge so how about we turn that upside down?
Take a look at your 5 oldest unplayed wins and pick one(or more) to finish this month. Show those games some love!
Extra credit if you also leave the GA creator a comment that you've played their gift and some thoughts on it!
As usual if you want to participate, reply to the application post with the game(or games) you choose for this month!
Once you've finished you can edit your post with a clear "Completed" and a link to the game's achievement page and/or screenshots.
(optional) The "It's time to du-du-duel!" challenge
Since many of you enjoy it, it seems like this one is here to stay. If instead of the monthly theme you prefer getting challenged by your fellow SGers you can have them select a few games from your unplayed wins and challenge you with them!
If you want to get challenged with random games reply to this post and another user will select 3 to 5 games for you to choose which one(or more) you'll be playing for this month's challenge!
If you have a BLAEO page it would be helpful to link your SG wins page so the ones looking through your wins don't have to check each game.
For the ones "issuing" the challenges please make sure to pick games that are eligible(aka no or little playtime/achievements and no multiplayer, endless, sandbox etc). Also please refrain from challenging too many people at once so everyone has a chance to do so. If however you see a post unanswered for over 12-24 hours feel free to challenge them even if you've issued a trillion challenges before.
