The Completely Irrational MUST WIN Thread

Open
chairmankao

This is just a fun thread to list what is your current No.1 MUST WIN game.

This is NOT meant to be the top games on your wishlist. Rather this is a game you've entered (and failed to win) giveaways for REPEATEDLY, to the point where you now IRRATIONALLY REFUSE to purchase it and instead MUST WIN IT or your life feels incomplete and you feel like less of a man, regardless of the actual size of your penis (which I'm sure is now smaller for not having won the game).

(Ladies, my apologies for the analogy. You can replace the above with "boobs being smaller", but any guy will tell you it's not the same.)

Looking for irrational desires to win select games, not irrational members.

Sadly, the new rules are in place and I think my chance at winning a featured giveaway for Ruzh Delta Z is forever gone. Winning it as a standard giveaway just wouldn't feel the same.

A small part of me has died.

I'm also curious about what new rules, being new around here I didn't get to see the old guard so to speak if there is any.

You'll note that the featured giveaways section (mass giveaways with 50 copies per go) is depressingly empty. cg changed it so that any one person can only run one featured giveaway at a time. So no more SharpEyes making 20 giveaways of 50 copies each.

I think there may also be a cool down period for creating more featured giveaways so it's more likely that accounts are synced and people are able to enter for games they've already won.

Thank you for telling me you posted the reply, and thank you for replying.

In response, that sort of stinks but I think I understand, it sort of helps non promoted accounts have a fair shake so to speak. By promoted, I mean random dev gives this person 200 copies of said game to giveaway vs someone that has to buy a copy to giveaway.

Until very recently, Overture. I have to find a new one now.

So, I started out this whole website figuring out that I could potentially "win" fallout 4... I have logged in every day and joined every possible fallout 4 GA that I can, but still no luck. I will probably buy it, but it will be against my will way after the date of it's release and GoTY editions go on sale more than likely.

There should be a big warning sign when you first join up. WARNING: You will probably not win the game you are hoping for on your first 2 million tries!

EDIT: And this isn't just a top game on my wishlist, this is the whole reason I joined the website lol
EDIT2: Everything else is just a perk :)

My current one is Playing History 2 - Slave Trade, I'm curious to see what the game is all about.

Offspring Fling.

My wishlisted stuff tends to not be very common as giveaways here anyway, since I buy almost all of it when it hits 75% off or a bundle. So the stuff I enter for here tends to be bundle stuff that looks cool. Offspring Fling has eluded me the entire time I've been here, and now I'm too damn stubborn to even buy it in a bundle.

Bad Rats... I MUST win it!
People have called it the worst game ever too many times for me to actually buy it, so I need to win it, so that I can learn why it's so bad myself

Probably Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers... I remember trying to win that game since I joined the site. It gets bundled quite frequently too so there's always some giveaways lying around, waiting for me to join... Curse you, Tiny and Big.

Betrayer

it's currently available in 2 different bundles so there's a pretty constant stream of GAs for it but I haven't managed to win one yet.
