EDIT: Current train

Hi everyone, so my irl birthday just passed a few days ago (2nd September) and I wanted to share the joy with everyone! I have decided to give away games that you guys want. So how it will work is that everyone can say which games they want and after a week on 11 September, I'll be making another post with a train in it. [The giveaway will be for lvl 3+]

My budget currently is $100. So, everyone can suggest what game they want as long as it is within the budget. There can be as many games as possible as long as it's within $100. ^^

Games that I buy from the steam store will be region-locked so try to suggest games that I can get at other websites like humble bundle, bundle stars and etc.

[I hope that this is a good idea? First time doing this kind of giveaways :3]

Note: If after a week, the votes are a stalemate, I'll choose the games myself!

Happy B-day, very nice of you. :)

Something like:
CIV VI
X-COM 2 - on sale for the next few hours so I guess not the best candidate
Book of unwritten tales/critter chronicles/2 (on steam sale at the moment),
ELEX (10% off preorder I believe since it is not out yet :P),
Divinity: Original sin/Divinity: Original Sin 2,
Ori the blind forest,
Tyranny,
Hollow Knight
Rise of the tomb raider (humble monthly right now it seems),
Witcher franchise that was on sale a few days ago but prolly isnt anymore,
Middle earth: Shadow of War,
PUBG - I guess a lot of people will want this
Hellblade: Senuas sacrifice,
Darkwood...

Yeah np, I just noticed a few people (myself included) mentioned ORI, so didnt want you to buy it somewhere else if you can get it there cheaper (since that site is also legit from what I`ve heard, unlike G2A, kinguin and some others)

Well, PUBG, Hellblade and NieR: Automata are the top 3 from the community wishlist so maybe one of those. Personally, my vote goes for Automata.

Also, happy birthday.

Serious answers (including only games that I own and have played, as then I know they're good :P):
Divinity: Original Sin
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
Tales of Zestiria (Or, if you wanna give something that I haven't played, Tales of Berseria :P)
PYRE
Transistor
Bastion

EDIT: Didn't do the math to see whether or not you'd be able to get all of those, just think that any of those'd be cool!

Lots of good games have been mentioned already. How about a combination of games. One or two from near the top of the wishlist like PUBG, something new that people won't have yet like Songbringer, and your own personal favourites/things on sale.

Nice of you to ask the community. Hope you had a good birthday.

I think people in general would be happy with any game but if you want to reach a bigger crowd in total you could choose to giveaway a game wich hasnt been bundled and this doesnt even have to be expensive when compared to your 100 dollar budget . There are plenty of good games within 5-30 euro's.

Another thing you could check for is the best selling games or the new section on steam or bundle sites.

And happy late bday :) Fwcc

I'll be sure to check that before deciding which game to give away ^^

What about using the $100 to setup a Humble Monthly subscription for a year, a seperate account from your own personal ( I don't know if you partake in HB or not, but either way, it takes no time to set up a seperate gmail for the purpose ) and then any games that come it ( maybe even you help yourself to any games that take your fancy along the way ) you can make giveaways for.

Would give you like 70 something games? If I did my maths right. Which is doubtful.

That doesn't sound that bad, I'll probably consider that after this train?

I've never subscribed to Humble Monthly before but I guess I'll give it a try after this ^^

I've not tried it myself but I think you need a different credit card to buy a second monthly, a secondary HB account is not enough.

Happy birthday.

This is a nice idea so I will also name some games (2 I already own, 2 I would like to win:

Games I already own:

  • Hollow Knight I loved it and spend nearly 60h in it. I'm sure whoever will win this, will have a lot of fun. ($15 via Humble Widget)
  • Soma One of the best athmosphere and storys in game, that should played by way more people. ($8.99 at Humblestore)

Games I would like to win ( :-) )

  • Last Day of June because it looks awesome and Brothers was a great game
  • >observer_ I love Sci-Fi and this looks like an awesome Sci-Fi Game.

https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/wishlist

  • The current "everybody wants it because it is famous" game of the year is THISWILLTOTALLYLEAVEEARLYACCESS's Battlegrounds. Drop it as a level 0 giveaway and watch the bots hum their little auto-entry dance. Bonus points if you buy a key on GreenManGaming, so you winner sells it on G2A within 48 hours, because 5 days of suspension is worth that 20 USD profit.
  • The month's fading fad is Hellblade, which is likely to fade from memory as shortly as the actual game is.
  • The fresh new fad is the prequel to Life is Strange. Never mind those who never played or watched the first but consider the prequel their current #1 must-have game, I am sure they will totally play (or, well, considering it is actually an interactive film: watch) it. Within the next millenium or so.
  • You may also be rebellious and go for last month's fad, NieR: Automata, because as we all know, everybody wants to play the sequel of a spin-off of a series they never even heard about, let alone played it. Or not, when they learn that they have to play through the entire thing at least thrice, so they kinda lose interest (one fifth of the players bothered to play to reach at least one of the final endings).
  • Or maybe one of the classics? Dark Souls III used to seem a permanent entry in the top 10 of the wishlist, but as people realised that oh shit, I actually have to play this game and not just follow a bright arrow to the next cut-scene, they kinda gave up and went back to the next UbiSoft open-world fuckaroundery to follow their favourite arrows. Still, who knows, maybe there are a dozen or so actual videogamers left on this site who'd want it.
  • You can also try to give away an upcoming game, the sequel of the latest Wolfenstein re-reboot, called The New Colossus. You could also get the warm and fuzzy feeling of creating the first ever giveaway for it on SteamGifts that is not Russia-locked and has more entries than the fingers on your hand.
  • I want to mention System Shock 3Prey (2017), but since it is an actually good game, I am sure that its continued presence on the community wishlist is just a fluke.

Or, just pick some games you personally enjoyed and would recommend to others, so your birthday event will have a personal touch and not just tries to appease the popularity contest of the SteamGifts user base.
