[Giveaway Poll] I've been doing some thinking and subsequently made some conclusions.

Closed
Brendino

So I've been working for about a month now and am going back to college in the summer and as such I got to thinking quite a bit about what I want to do with my life and have come to some conclusions:

  1. I love History and Music and Film and am going to major/minor in those fields of study
  2. I love gaming and want to create one with my friends
  3. I love making people laugh
  4. I love putting quality first in when it comes to the things I make
  5. And the most important one (for this site specifically anyway), I love giving cool ass games to kick ass people

So from now on, I'm only giving away the primo shit. No bundle games from Humble or Indie Gala and no weird games that nobody wants.

Here are going to be my rules I'm setting, mostly for myself, when it comes to my giveaways.

  1. They're going to run for at least 5 days at a time
    • And the only exception to number 1 is when I want to make a "blacklight giveaway" to weed out bots
  2. I'll will be spending at most $30 unless otherwise stated (unfortunately, I'm not fabulously rich yet)
    • this means I will give away one game or multiple, lesser priced ones
  3. The contributor level is going to be 1 or above, depending on the value of the game being given
    • it's fairly easy to get to level 1, c'mon friends

With all that in mind,

What game/games should I giveaway?

I'll tally up the games in 23 hours (I have work at 10:30 tomorrow) and post a pie chart or something of what won, at which point I will make the giveaway/giveaways.

Please put the full name of the game you'd like given away in bold first and write any comments or questions beneath it.

Example:

DayZ

Wah Wah Wah. I'm joking of course I am actually interested in what you guys think.

Thank you Thank you!

EDIT: Alright I had to cut the poll a little early but here were the results.

Yes I am aware it looks super shitty but I'm a little in a rush a don't feel like punching in those names and numbers again lol. If I ever do this again I'll have to narrow down the list of games to vote on because there were a whole of 1's and 2's and I just kind of picked from the one's that were on sale at the Humble Bundle until it went up to $30.

Thank you to everyone who gave me well wishes and suggestions! Here are the links! the giveaways go live at 12pm! Good Luck!

Grim Fandango Remastered (C. LVL 1)
Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition (C. LVL 2)
This War of Mine: Humble Deluxe Edition (C. LVL 2)

The Banner Saga

Because it is a great game and nobody said it in this post yet.
I like turn-based games, and this one has even beautiful graphics.

might be better to buy game when it's on sale
that way it's cheaper and yet still quality games (non bundles)
right now there's witcher and arma (i want witcher :p)

Killing Floor 2

Oh boy, what a game. They've put so much effort into it, a must-play.
Might want to wait some months for a discount, however. It's your call :)

I made a list a few years ago like you did above. It worked pretty well when i combined all its ingredients :)

So in your case i would suggest you to think of something new which will combine History, Music, Film, Fun. Either make something innovative or talk to people who can hire you to do innovative stuff! Society urges for new ideas daily so it's the best time for fresh, pleasant and quality ideas!

As for the game? I would love to see Euro Truck 2 - Scandinavia DLC or Verdun being given away

Everyone else is giving you lots of good titles to pick from, but I'm going to offer you some advice. Keep an eye out for sales. It's not difficult to buy AAA games at decent prices if you wait for the sales. Also, do a little research when you see a game you don't know. I've found quite a few excellent indie games just by pulling them up on Steam and reading the reviews.

what he said. As happy as i am that you're willing to give out AAA games, it must be hard on your wallet.

Oh I definitely will keep an eye out for sales, but I'm basically saying that'll I'll do giveaways for games people would actually want to play and not like The Slaughtering Grounds or Orion

The Agarest games, any Final Fantasy title, Divinity: Original Sin if it goes on sale and therefore below $30, Ori and the Blind Forest, HyperDimension Neptunia Re:Birth1, Crypt of the NecroDancer, The Escapists, Tales from the Borderlands and Dirt Rally are all quality games that would be very welcome in a giveaway :D

(them also being in my wishlist is entirely coincidental!)
