[Puzzle] 3 x 8 ENDED

Closed
BigBadGoat

This is my 4th or 5th puzzle here. I can't be sure as I had a long break.

There are 3 stages, each more difficult than the previous one.

All answers are game titles and all bar one are on Steam. If you have trouble with wording copy/paste the title from Steam store page.

Standard rules apply: no hinting, sharing or asking on the internets (it only makes you look dumb).

You start HERE.

Giveaways end on Friday.

HINTS

  • S1Q4 - One-word title. You can find this game on Steam store front page.

  • Only non-Steam game is S3Q8

  • S2Q2 - VERY famous game that spawned 2 sequels.

  • S3Q4 - I can't get the formatting to work here for some reason. Posted the hint in description of 2nd giveaway.

  • S3Q6 - In a way it's similar to S2Q2... (I have to admit this one is more difficult than it should be. Something changed after I created this part of the puzzle and it made this question much harder. It's still doable, but I'll have to make up for this somehow.)

UPDATES

Seems like S1Q4 is giving you more trouble than I intended, so first hint is for this question.

Added hint for S2Q2 and 1st bonus giveaway to S3.

Added hint for S3Q4

Yeah I breezed through the other questions, then spent about 2 hours trying every game I could think of containing any word I could associate with the image. People have got it though, so I must be missing something.....

Yep. There is a text file with all the games on steam in front of me. I've looked at ~4000 of them twice now, there are only a few which fits the image, and none are accepted :)

I guessed S1Q4 and it is not on the front page of the Steam store. At least not for me.

Hmm. Does store page look different if you're on Linux or Mac?

Yes, at least it misses the games unavailable on the platform in the rolling ad (for example, I'm shown Half-Life 1 there instead of Dishonored).

Community servers were acting up when I tried to check his profile. The game definitely is on front page in the US store.

It wasn't for me. Guessed it completely based on the figure's pose, took awhile though.

Sorry but the game is nowhere to be found on the front page of the store for me. Not to mention that whatever is on the front page changes from day to day so giving a clue like that doesn't make much sense.

It's still on the front page.

The hint might be vague, but this game is on front page and it's been there for the whole time. You probably forget that it contains over 200 games, although some titles are visible in few places at once, so it's hard to know the exact number.
