Okay, it's been a while since I've done any giveaways, and since the last (and also first) time I made a puzzle it was very cool to see how you guys got involved, I decided to play a little game with you.

The rules are very simple, you have to answer the following question:

Which is the greatest game of all time?

But of course, it won't be so easy, right? First of all, the correct answer is the game that I think is the greatest of all time, so you'll have to get inside my mind. And now, for the rules:

  • Each user only gets ONE chance to guess. Any user commenting twice with guesses will get blacklisted. This rule won't apply if any subsequent comments don't contain any guesses (discussion, memes, cat gifs, etc are safe) BUT they can't be first-level comments, but replies to other comments instead.
  • Your answer must contain the game's name (just one), and also a minimum contributor level.
  • You can't edit your answer. Any user editing their answer will get the same treatment as the ones double-guessing. If you make a typo, I believe I'm smart enough to understand what you were trying to say, so keep the typo there.
  • This game will only last for 4 hours, counting from the moment I hit Create Discussion. Any answers outside that time frame won't count.

If you manage to find the correct answer, I will create a public giveaway for the game, with the minimum contributor level specified by the first user who got it right, lasting for... I don't know, a week maybe. If no one gets it right when the 4 hours run out, I will create a Bad Rats giveaway instead.

Ready? You have 240 minutes, guys and gals, get your detective hats on!


EDIT: TIME'S UP

Of course, and without any room for doubt, the greatest game ever to be made is Final Fantasy VII.

But you see, this game was a psychological test and a social experiment more than just a plain quiz. I absolutely love this community, but there are two things I can't stand of it, even if they are seen not so frequently: selfishness and elitism.

People who take these kinds of opportunities to ask for just the level they are, and people who ask for unreasonable levels, have been blacklisted, just for this particular giveaway, since no one deserves to pay forever for a single mistake. You dug through my profile: if I'm level 3, what's the sense of asking for a level 7 GA? SteamGifts, from my point of view, is a community about giving, and it's only logical to do GAs for lower levels than your own. All my public GAs have been level 0, just like this one will be.

On the other hand, people with a higher CV than what they asked for, and generally selfless givers, have been whitelisted.

Don't overestimate CV. Many people at high level have done a lot of private group grinding (where they ask other members to give too just so they don't "lose anything" in the process of getting level 10). And, of course, don't be selfish in life would be the main bottom line of this thread. I doubt I reached a big audience by doing this experiment, but man it felt good.

And without further ado, click below to get to the promised giveaway!

Do we have to be precise? Many people have mentioned Football Manager with good reason, but should we mention witch version?
In that case it could go either way. 2010 has more play time, but that could be that it's simply because it's the one you had for a longer time and 2012 is catching up. Or it could be that even after getting 2012 you still enjoy 2010 more and keep replying it so 2012 will never catch up.

If it doesn't matter then I should throw another name, but if it does I'll have to guess which one of the 2 could be your favorite. Could end up being a whole different game after all.
I think I rambled for long enough so I'll just stop.

Well... you're right on most of your reasoning there, so you get detective points for that :P

2010 was my first Steam game ever. Back then I bought all my games physically, and mostly console ones. My laptop was the worst s*** you can imagine, but I HAD to buy FM10 since I had greatly enjoyed FM09, which didn't require Steam. But 10 asked you to install Steam just so you could activate your physical copy (HOW DUMB IS THAT), but I won't complain since Steam's DRM has been profitable to me in other areas :P

Anyway, there was a good 10-12 months where I did nothing but play FM10 since it was the only modern game my laptop would run (and reaaally sloooowly). I didn't pick up 11 and went straight into 12, and the latest ones have gotten less play time because I've been a busier man with a considerably bigger backlog :D

I rambled for longer than you did, AND FM ISN'T EVEN THE GAME! D: but anyway, thanks for the A+ investigation work :P

Well with sports games sometimes the later games are not as good as the previous ones, so it's good to know that's not the case for Football Manager.

As for guess, I'll go with Euro Truck Simulator 2 lvl 5 since no one has mentioned it.

Another question could your favorite game be a game that is also on steam but you don't yet own on steam? As you mention also playing on consoles.

I have no idea what YOU think the greatest game of all time could be, I don't even know you!

But after visiting your profile I think maybe you are taken away by the latest hype, and so my guess is GTA V. I'm going with level 6.
