Why are you going to play a SG win this month?
Not sure if it counts or anything, but I recently won Hollow Knight and got addicted to it, I managed to finish it at 100% (but not all the achievements, since I am not that good at speedrunning, in about 20 hours, and I would really like to recommend the game due to the pleasant impression it left on me, I could even say I fell in love with it.
For now I would like to start and finish my most recent win Stories Untold and I will edit here the progress or any future plans, if that is ok. Thank you.

Hollow Knight seems like a great game!
Good luck with Stories Untold. If you wanna earn some points to participate in the GAs here, don't forget to post your progress!
Btw, if you want some extra points take a look at the optional challenges, some are quite easy and fun! :)

LastM, I would like to ask about extra 2 points for all achievments... It needs to get all achievments (even if there is some extra nightmare modes, survival modes, multiplayer etc)? Or just all achievments from main story mode?
Simple HOG's are quite easy to get 100% but in most of games always there are achievments like beat game one more time on higher difficult level, multi, or other strange modes...
I aksed because I just finished Dealight (I'm not big fun of platform games but this one was really good) and I tried to collect all collectables and other achievments in story mode. I did it and then saw new info about extra points for chivoes:)

Unfortunately, I won't be able to give extra points for something less than 100%, because if I start letting one or another deviate from the rule, it will become a nightmare to check all of them. One person is easy to check, but after a while a lot people will start asking for the same thing and it will be a lot harder to check them all and I don't have the time for that. Sorry.

Thanks for quick answer:) Now it's crystal clear:)
I just thought that if time of playing is only for main story so maybe achievements also;)
I'm missing only 3 achievments but when I checked that I need to play again in unlocked nightmare mode the same story again, I passed;)
Thanks LastM for this great initiative:) I like this every-month series "month is play game you won on SG", but your rewardes added extra flavor:D

I guess 100%-ing a game without achievements doesn't earn you 2 extra points, right? ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
In case you didn't understand - I meant doing everything there is to do in a game that doesn't have achievements ;)
Sadly, there would be no easy way to check if some has really done that. The question was asked jokingly ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
if i 100% a game, do I just use the HLTB time for 'main story' when calculating points or do i use the 'completionist" time?
for example Life is Strange 'main story' time is only 14h but the 'completionist' time is 18h which means the higher point bracket
Comment has been collapsed.
Apologies if someone asked this already (or it's a dumb question and I misread), just want to make sure about the scoring. The extra points for the screenshots achievements are at the end right?
I just beat Hack 'n' Slash which is 3 points x 2 for being challenged. So it's 6 points + 1 for the screenshot = 7 right?
You don't add the points for the screenshots/achievements before doubling the score?
Comment has been collapsed.
That's what I figured, just doubley checking haha. Thanks.

Se não ficou claro, só perguntar. Boa sorte no desafio. Divirta-se! :)

So, if I'm getting this right, when we get points will we be entered into a giveaway for these games or will we all get these games without a giveaway?
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I do not know if I understood exactly how it works (english is not my native language and maybe I missed something) but I also want to join. I'm going to put all the games I got here that I really want to play. : )
I have a question about the Luxor Evolved: as it is possible to check in the achievements page I already had 18 of the 33 conquests (55%) but 3 of them (9%) were on August 31st (the day I won the game), does this game count on the challenge? (if it does not serve, just tell me)

Ei, LastM! Eu gostaria de contribuir com giveaways se houver um desafio no mês de outubro.
Gostaria de oferecer o jogo Stories Untold.
Também tenho comigo algumas chaves sem restrição de área de jogos que por acaso, foram distribuídas gratuitamente na internet há alguns dias, então não sei se contam (duas de Ticket To Ride e uma de Moon Colonization Project). Contam? Me dá um toque sobre o que fazer. : )

Vlw, mas não vai ser necessário. Eu só estava de host este mês. Não sei quem vai estar em outubro, nem se vai ser o mesmo desafio. Esse tópico todo mês tem um host diferente e é o host que escolhe oq ele quer fazer. Eu escolhi fazer esse sistema de pontos com sorteios e talz, mas o próximo pode escolher algo bem diferente. Pode não envolver sorteios nenhum por exemplo.. Depende de quem for e do que a pessoa quiser fazer com o tópico. De qql jeito, fico feliz q o povo tenha curtido a idea. Quem sabe daqui uns meses eu trago ela de volta :)

I would vote against that in terms of future events. It really discourages from playing non challenge games, because if you play the challenge ones first, than you can get challenged for playing the ones you restrained yourself from playing.
So if it's allowed than the order of playing your games can make a difference in the amount of points you would get for them, which is not a nice thing in my opinion...
Comment has been collapsed.
True that. However, I already said it was ok, so I cannot go back. The challenges were just to make people interact more with each other, in that sense, I liked the results. I guess, for the next event I'll have more strict rules (number/quality of games, number of challenges, etc) for challenges or maybe just fewer points for that. We'll see.

I totally understand that you can't change said word. That's why I said "in terms of future events" ;)

I'm brand new to this, but I just started Wuppo (2/23 achievements) this past Labor Day long weekend - does that qualify? Supposedly its a medium game (11 hours) so I'm going to get on it this weekend if allowed consider I have the first 2 achievements (for anyone that's played, its basically fire your gun and talk to the first shopkeeper).
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I'd love for someone to challenge me to a game!
But in the meantime I'll start on my HOG backlog!

Umm I would just like to point out that for some reason I am written twice in that spreadsheet with 2 different scores.
Comment has been collapsed.
I assumed it was something like that but there are other people in the same situation that are not listed twice o.O Ok! ^^

If the DLCs have separated stories and times to complete on HLTB, such as the case for SoM, yes, the game + each dlc counts separatedly.
Any dlc is counted separatedly as long as you've won them on SG and they have their own story. It's fine. :)

I hope I did this right. I played the first mission of DMC to see if my PC can even run the game I hope it still counts.

So if we complete said game and earn the points, we WIN a new game? Or we get to enter a GA?
If the former then this could cost you a lot.. very generous sir..
I shall see what i can do from my win list :)
Too busy atm to do this... oh wells
Comment has been collapsed.
Unfortunately, I'm not rich enough to buy everyone a gift. It's a chance to win a copy from a GA. :)
No, some people don't like tables like that. As long as you post proof that you've beaten a number of games, it doesn't matter how you've written it.

Oh boy, I forgot to post my progress here D:
I hope I can still enter with games I played in september, but finished before posting them here.
Game | Link | Status | Time to Beat |
---|---|---|---|
Pahelika: Revelations HD | Achievements Page | completed (the last achievement is truly impossible to get ;-;) | HLTB says "--", but I finished it the first time in ~2 hours |
Red Crow Mysteries: Legion | In-game achievements page | completed (not planning on 100%-ing the achievements here) | 3 hours |
Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) | Achievements Page | completed | 3 hours + 1 hour for the DLC "Foxtales" (not sure if it counts) |
1954 Alcatraz | End scene | completed | 5,5 hours |
Pahelika: Secret Legends | Achievements Page | completed | 2 hours |
Citizens of Earth | Achievements Page | completed | 14 hours |
Gold Rush! Classic | Screenshot | completed | HLTB says "7,5hours for main+extra", but I guess "extra" are all possible routes which I didn't do, so I'd fit it into "short games" category. |
Comment has been collapsed.
"1954 Alcatraz" is finished :) Great game, but none of the achievements work - they just don't trigger. I tried reinstalling, checking local files and basically every other possible solution, but without any luck. I read that it's some issue with game connection to Steam Cloud and that I'm not the only one experiencing it so I guess I'll have to wait for some patch to fix it or maybe try to replay the game on some other computer? Anyways even without the achievements it was great fun to play it.
Since it was my last unplayed SteamGifts win, can I pick some other game? I'd like to add "Pahelika: Secret Legends" to accompany "Pahelika: Revelations HD" in this challenge ;D
Comment has been collapsed.
I just finished "Pahelika: Secret Legends". Apparently one broken achievement is some kind of trademark or tradition for the series :P
Still out of luck and I don't want to change this event from "play a game you won on SteamGifts" into "play any game you own" event, so I think I'm done for some time ;)
@edit
I added "Citizens of Earth".
Comment has been collapsed.
"Citizens of Earth" finished! Instead of 14 hours it took me over 40 hours, but I really enjoyed it :)
Next up:
"Gold Rush! Classic"
Comment has been collapsed.
"Gold Rush" completed :) It's going to be a busy weekend for me so I think I'll leave my last win - "Oxenfree" - for next month. Thank you again for organizing this event and keeping such a great track of everyones points. See you next month! ;)

Thanks for participating!!
Hello everyone and welcome to another month of playing your SG wins! 乁( ◔ ౪◔)ㄏ
I hope that y'all are ready for another challenge! This time, with a twist: Prizes!
Because September = Prizes to a participating member, of course! xD
This month's challenge: The legendary quest to defeat the evil Dr.Backlog!
"It's not a quest, if you don't find loot!" -Einstein, Albert.
Therefore, this month, for beating your sg wins, you'll get a chance to find some epic bounty!
Games will be divided into one of the 4 categories below, according to the time one would take to beat them (just main story). Each beaten game will award you points:
Very short games (< 2 h) = 1 point
By gathering points you'll unlock the doors to awesome loot! You may unlock them by acquiring the required amount of points in any way you want.
Eg: To unluck door 3, one could simply beat a game like Evoland 2 or get challenged to beat Portal and Solstice. More on that later!
Click here to get your reawards!
Click Here to see the current standings in the rank
TL;DR: Play sg wins --> get points --> achieve a certain amount of points to unlock GAs --> Get loot!
* If you have less than 20% of your SG win left to play or haven't won a game yet. You could use any unplayed games instead of a SG win. Same rules! This is only for those close to 0 sg wins left to play! Just because you don't like your sg wins, doesn't mean you shouldn't try them! (¬、¬)
(Optional) The "It's time to du-du-duel!" challenge:
If instead of choosing your own games you prefer getting challenged by your fellow SGers, you can have them select a number of games from your unplayed wins and challenge you with them!
Will get twice the normal amount of points for beating a challenge!
Eg: Using the example above - by beating Evoland 2 one would normally get 10 points; however, if someone challenges you to beat said game and you finish it, you'll get 20 points (2x10). If you get challenged to beat Portal and Solstice, you would get 6 (2x3) points for each game - 12 points total.
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! (challengers: try to include games of different sizes!)
(Optional) The screenshot challenge:
You may post 1 screenshot per game beaten to earn an extra point for said games!
Eg: Both Portal and Solstice are worth 3 points each. However, if you post a screenshot of each game, you can earn 1 extra point per game! (3+1+3+1=8 points!)
(Optional) The Completionist Challenge:
If you unlock all the achievements in a game you get 2 extra points per game!
(Optional) The mightiest heroes challenge:
If we reach more than 100 participants, I'll invite the top 10 people with the highest amount of points to earn even more loot!
For it to count the game needs to be beaten/finished. Which means no endless mode/multiplayer etc games. You'll also have to post some kind of proof, that could either be a link to your achievement page or a screenshot of the ending credits.
Don't forget to reply to this thread to participate! (You may edit your post as you beat more games, just don't forget to warn me or you won't unlock the corresponding door!)
You can use this code for easier formatting:
Should look like this:
FAQ:
"I just wanna play games and post here!" - Please, be my guest! We all would love to read about that! :D
"I already started a game yesterday. Does it count?" - As long as you haven't played more than 25% of it, according to its HLTB time (main story), it's ok!
"I wanna play a game without achievements. How will a prove that I've beaten it?" - By posting a screenshot of the ending credits! ;)
"Can I challenge everybody?" - Please, challenge up to 2 participants. Other people would like to participate as well!"
"I don't wanna participate. Can I still challenge other people?" - Sure! Participating is more than just playing games. It's interacting with your fellow SGers!
"I've already beaten all my sg wins. How can I participate?" - Just find any unplayed games in your backlog and beat it! You may get points according to the rules above!
"I've never won a game here" - Same as above!
"I don't wanna play any of the games that I've been challegend to beat." - It's fine if you're a beautiful, strong and independent SGer who needs no challenges! Just pick your own games to beat and have fun!
Useful Tools:

Previous months:

Hit me up on SG or steam, if you have any doubt! Don't be shy! ( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)
Before I forget, I would like to thank Skanda for this opportunity, Wolfedood for the duel idea and both Ninglor03, PleasantBlackSheep and [Redacted] for the feedback and ideas about this challenge! It wouldn't be the same without all of you! :D
