SCROLL DOWN FOR THE PUZZLE EXPLANATION... OR DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, SINCE YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T WANT THAT GAME ANYWAY...
Why, hello there Steamgifts person!
If you can't read, but you really like free stuff, enter this giveaway. :)
If you can read, save your points / money and get Disco Elysium instead.
Yeah, I know, Disco Elysium isn't a Kojima ultra-game, it's... Umm... Some kind of superstar. :)
What, an isometric RPG doesn't sound like your thing? Ok, never mind, try to find the METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN giveaway instead. It's good. I'll even have a "Kept you waiting, huh?" in there for you... Spoiler alert: JUST LOOK AT THE KEYS, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! IT'S THE SAME PUZZLE EVERY SINGLE TIME! LAZYMANS SHOULD PROBABLY READ THE PUZZLE GUIDE TOO...
Ok, let's try again. Say you're still on the fence with that disco business. Might put it on your wishlist to keep track, but after all it's 40 bucks...
Does the question "What can change the nature of a man?" means anything to you? You should be playing Disco Elysium right now. :) Don't wait for the Winter Sale, just buy the darn thing.
Honestly, the only reason I'm giving away this Death Stranding nonsense is to get people to look at Disco Elysium instead.
It may not be your answer, but it is my answer. :)
Good luck! :)
Free Keys! Gorge Yourselves, Miserable Bot Scum! Definitely Not 2 Cent Garbage! Totally Not Hiding Anything! :)

Ok, just a short explanation of the puzzle hiding in the leftover keys. I'm lazy, sorry. :) And I need to see who won... Maybe it was you! :)
The part where it says JUST LOOK AT THE KEYS, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! IT'S THE SAME PUZZLE EVERY SINGLE TIME! - yeah. But what are you supposed to look at? That's the problem, you don't have any way to know, you just have to get lucky and notice something. Would this help:

Get it? It's an ascii message, written with the first two characters of the bundle leftovers. Yes, they are all real Steam keys. Yes, they are all used by now. It's been two weeks, what did you expect? :) Anyway, I'm lazy, so let's just spell it out:
Don't preorder games! :)
If you want good Kojima stuff, try https://store.steampowered.com/app/287700/ :)
Or try the super secret hidden giveaways! GOOD GIVEAWAY: VcoDr. NO EARTHLY REASON A GAME SHOULD BE THIS GOOD GIVEAWAY: 8kZnZ.
Better luck next time, everyone! :)
Wow! Thank you very much! :D

You know, this game is probably a steaming pile, but good luck anyway... :)

Well, it's from Kojima so it's sure linked to some controverse content in the long term where people will years after swing about it one way or another.
Doesn't matter. Thanks for the Giveaway and enjoy your week.

And there could always be trading cards, so that's a win either way... :)
Thank you too, hope yours is good also... :) Good luck! :)

I'm pretty sure it's all hype too, and that face...looks so much out of place...
But thanks for the recommendation, I've put Disco Elysium in my wish list!
Comment has been collapsed.
Someone else mentioned the face, is it an actual person then? I have no clue, it just looks like some random dude to me. :(
Ahh, a wishlist is a good place for Disco Elysium, not as good as your Steam library but it's better than nothing... :) And if you poke around you might even find a giveaway for it, somewhere or other... :)
Good luck! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes it's a well known hollywood actor, but I don't know his name (he's been in series and movies I don't care for). The game also contains other well known US actors but him being the main character, is the only one that doesn't really look well in the digitized form and obviously fake, which is really weird to me. I also watched a gameplay video on tv and it's still really weird to see.
About the other game, I don't buy games anymore, unless it's something I know well, but get them from bundles. My library is too big already, and I've only had disappointment in games with extremely positive reviews. But I use my wishlist really rarely, so for the game to be there is a big accomplishment XD
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you, guess I'm just out of touch... :) Not complaining, actually... :)
I hope Disco Elysium isn't in a bundle too soon, since that seems to do weird things with the perceived value of the game... Hopefully they will sell a bunch at zero discount first... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I'm too, or otherwise I would know his name XD (I used to watch much more stuff when younger, but with age I became very VERY picky).
And I do agree with Disco, I also don't like when games gets bundled or discounted too soon.
Comment has been collapsed.
His face really fits well in the game imo, thats probably because he played a character in the walking dead with a similar post apocalypse type setting.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not really his face, as if I found it ugly or anything like that, but the way it's used. It looks quite artificial and emotionless, just like a bad and amateurish work on replacing someone's face on a photo by someone with no skills and done in Paint.
I have really nothing against the actor or the fact that he is in the game, just that the job was done poorly. I hope I have explained myself :)

Thanks for the amazing giveaway! I'm betting it'll get close to 10K entries by the time it closes.
Have yet to get into any turn-based top-down games similar to Disco Elysium, but it is a cool looking game.

Hey, you added stuff, now I have to re-reply... :)
Not sure I'd call this game amazing, although it sounds like the price is amazing if you live in the wrong region... :)
Hmmmm, I don't remember, are there actually 10,000 active "Level 1" Steamgifts people?
Yeah, ten minutes and the keys are probably all used by now... Enjoy the precious garbage, asf farmer dudes... :)

Well, I haven't played this game (no Playstation, alas...) but from what I've seen of other people playing it's just not my sort of thing. Maybe it's awesome, but ehh... I'll wait for a nice big discount before getting one for myself... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
fair enough, big discounts are always good.

Every negative opinion is from haters that didn't even play the game. How I assumed that? Did You believe than within few hours of game release there will be any person that ever played the game and have the time to review it? Nope. And negative opinion were here way before any opinion could even form. Not to mention, to finish the game.
Just some kids trying to be cool. They are hipsters. Kojima and MGS is popular? So they need to hate it! As Kojima said. Why are there negative reviews in USA? Because American people are too dumb for that kind of game. It's not the FPSm, where You are Rambo. Of course, he said it in more subtle way. But that's actually preeeeetty much describing the problem. Not every game needs to be meaningless. Some other are deeper and have value for reflection. Like MGS and Death Stranding. It's Kojima. Someone who surpassed even
Metal GearSpielberg in the gaming medium. Yes. Kojima is better at doing games than Spielberg is at movies. Which means, Kojima is a little bit good, I think. As Spielberg is making masterpieces. That's why people love MGS and are Kojima fans. Because he knows what he is doing. The atmosphere in the game of course can not be good for everyone, though. And that's okay. But hating just because it's Kojima and it's popular. It's really pathetic, what people does. Even before they had a chance to play that game. 40+ hours game reviewed in 2 hours. Uh-huh, I would believe that 😂 And also, I would doubt hater would even play the game intensively, so maybe 2-3 hours daily. So give it 1-2 weeks before even taking negative reviews seriously. For sure, it's not game for everyone. No game is. Not even MGS. That's why I never played any of it, except MGS1 and TPP. I am just bad at stealth. But still I know how good the franchise is, because I watched it. And as Death Stranding is Kojima's work I fear nothing. It won't be a bad game. And what I've seen already makes me thing: Kojima, You troll.Comment has been collapsed.

I'm not sure what You are trying to say, but no. You were not wise. You were just pathetic. Yet another puny hater with not much to say.
Of course, saying less can be okay. But it doesn't depends on the amount of text. it depends of what is the text saying. I just explained why the haters are insignificant. Hate is never a valid argument.

I'm not disagreeing with you but OP did call the game a steaming pile just a second before in another comment...
I'm glad someone disagrees with all the Kojima fanboys jerking off at every game he releases but I have to admit the man is a legend. I played the hell out of MGSV when it came out and I loved it alot so...
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I did qualify that with probably a steaming pile, and I won't know for sure until I've played it myself, some day or other... :) What I've seen of other people playing made me think it's really not my sort of game. Oh well. Let's hope whoever wins this loves it. :)
Good luck! :)

There is no Kojima fanboys. Don't call everyone who You disagree with a fanboy, just because they like something, You don't. You are just a puny hater there. And it's YOU who are intolerant there. Because YOU can't STAND that somebody likes Kojima games. Did You ever play it? Or are You like other haters? Hating, because You are hipster. Huh? The kojima is popular! I will hate him and hate every fan, disregarding them! This is pathetic. Or maybe it's game to people with higher expectances? Not just some stupid Skyrim or Doom, which don't even have plot, have some joke of a mechanic etc? Death Stranding and MGS series are not stupid FPS like CoD. They are not for kids with low expecttancy. They are for people wanting something more. Of course You are allowed to have opinion. But ONLY when You played the games first. Otherwise, You can't have any opinion about the game. And that's what my post is about. Pseudo opinions of crybabies, who can't stand Kojima's popularity. They didn't even play the game (because they didn't have the time to with the "reviews" appearing within few hours of game release). Don't be mad, because somebody likes something You are too immature for.

DUDE, this guy supported your stance. Just because he can think for himself (herself?) too doesn't warrant this. Sjeesh.
Maybe try reading people's posts before going full attack mode since this one is definitely undeserved.

No. Hating before even passing through the game is NOT called taste. And that's not opinion. That's fact. If the negative opinions are happening before people have chance to actually play the game it's ONLY hate from salty kids, who cry like babies when they see "Hideo Kojima".
Taste is something very different. You can make an opinion if You actually KNOW the thing. If You don't, You are not allowed to have one. You can't have opinion on coffee, without even trying to drink it. You can say facts that it can be bad for teeth or health when You drink it too much, yes, but You can't describe the taste, without tasting it.
So the frickin same came to games. YOU ARE DISALLOWED to have ANY opinion about the game YOU NEVER HAVE PLAYED. Do you understand? Or are You gonna hate me because I said the truth You are inconvenient with?

"YOU ARE DISALLOWED to have ANY opinion about the game YOU NEVER HAVE PLAYED."
That's not at all how any of this works. We got reviews, screenshots, previous experiences and let's plays amongst other things to measure quality without playing ourselves.
I'm sure a capitalist society would love for this to be true, but it simply isn't the case. We can measure quality or interest without consuming, and will only consume if we expect the end-product to forfil. If not, only fools (or if it's like given free, very cheap or coming with other stuff in a bundle that we do want) would consume.
So yeah, no "truth" there.
(Also I wouldn't be able to describe the taste of cola or coffee to those unaware even after consuming. Seriously, how do you describe a taste?)
Comment has been collapsed.
Of course it does. You can't rate something if You don't know it. Guy, stop kidding.
Yes, we did have all those. But You CAN't decide if You like something by that.
First, screenshot doesn't even show You what is the game about. Even a description won't. And funny thing, the reviews were all positive, but haters made it that they hate it anyway. No, You can't write the review of a game, because You read another review. This is NOT how this works. Lmao. You are either troll, or is just a pathetic guy, who thinks, he can excuse every hate by whatever he wants.
Reviews can be helpful, but they NEVER, I say, NEVER explain the game. I've seen the game. The reviews doesn't even begin to cover what the game looks like.
And everyone who hates it, not playing it, because it's "walking simulator" is just pure idiot. Calling it like that, regardless of the actual mechanics in the game is plainly stupid. Hates were mostly of a stuff that weren't even a thing in a game.
Also comments like "lol, this game is so weird, even Kojima don't know what it is all about" are even dumber. Because this game is an artistic thing. And no, it's not just weird to be weird. The things in the game DOES have (pretty easy to understand) meaning. But You have to PLAY the game and have BRAIN to actually understand it. But if You stop on the reviews, that cannot explain it to You, You can't learn these things.
Also, have You ever had Your friend, dad, whoever else explaining the movie from the TV to You? And when You watched it it was completely different than You remembered from the story? That's why reviews are NEVER a valid thing to had an opinion. I mean, You have a choice to want or don't want a game. To trust or not trust it. But You can't write another review because of a review. It's a gossip. Somebody tells something, another person doesn't understand it or add something too... and that's how all those fake reviews made of fake reviews made of fake reviews(...) are.
Also things, like I said (Kojima doesn't know what it is all about/game is wboring walking simulator) and other hate speech words are not a valid opinion either.
Cola is sugary sweet. But yeah. That's the case. You are unable to explain it Yourself. So how does some reviews can describe something more complicated. And how You are allowed to make a review because You just heard how the cola tasted, didn't know the 99% of it?
So yeah. So much truth here. Regardless if You admit it or not. And If You ever reviewed a game because of a review, screenshot or other things like thet. Well, Your opinion is -100% valid for me. Because You don't even start to see the product. You just say some gossips, You just manipulate the things and You don't even know those things, so You don't know what You are reviewing. Finito.
Oh, and calling people, who like something a fanboy, automatically makes You a kid, that should never have any right to have an opinion or vote. Because You break every rule of opinion making.

The irony being that you've written, and I quote, "Not even MGS. That's why I never played any of it, except MGS1 and TPP. I am just bad at stealth. But still I know how good the franchise is, because I watched it."
But guess the rule applies to all but you?
Sugary and sweet is content, not a flavour. A game of mechanics is not "more complicated" than a taste.
I've never even mentioned the word fanboy, keep strawmanning.

I just returned from about 3 weeks break to find this steaming pile of a thread XD... Thank you @Hassat for being a rational person and reading what I typed before you replied to the thread, and thank you @EyrieTheEagle for keeping me entertained with your frolicking like a half-dead rabbit trying to attack me for an opinion I never even had or mentioned and for attacking everyone who even dares to even say one "bad" word about Kojima. As I've said, I still stand by my argument that nothing is perfect and that everything is flawed in it's own way, some things more than others EHM EHM THE GAME'S PLOT EHM and that not everything that a good director/game director/artist (or anyone for that matter) releases is the holy grail of said subject matter.

Thanks for the giveaway ... and, um, a gazillion bot keys?

Umm, I can't remember, maybe I should have counted them? It's not as many as it looks, umm... The calculator says 240. Plan "A" would have required 800, but I was much too lazy for that sort of nonsense. :)

Good luck! :)

What
Comment has been collapsed.
I mean, I think Kojima needs an editor. :) Someone to tell him hey, this part is kinda stupid. Or, maybe this is a great idea for a movie, but it's not fun to do in a video game.
You know how sometimes a person has a big success, and suddenly they are surrounded by people who agree with every word they say? Nobody wants to call them on anything, everyone just keeps quiet so they can ride the gravy train... :)
Good luck! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I know what you mean... like what happened to Lucas with Star Wars. Many people thought this might be the case with Kojima as well and rightfully so - the game concept is very unusual indeed. And frankly I didn't even care for the gameplay, I just wanted to play it because of the story because I was intrigued since the first trailer but I'm playing the game for almost a week now and I can honestly say, that this is not the case. The game's actually all around pretty good.
Just from what I read here in your few comments it is evident that you carry a certain prejudice against Death Stranding and/or Kojima and you most probably have a reason for that but you still shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. Hopefully the winner of this GA will enjoy the game, I'm sure lot of people will.
Comment has been collapsed.
Aha, yes, George Lucas exactly! :) Great idea, boss! :)
As for this game, I haven't played a bit of it, and I haven't watched enough of other people playing to know. What I have seen didn't look like fun for me. :) Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I've only seen the most pointless / nonsense parts of the game, carefully selected to turn people off. I dunno. :)
I don't think I'm anti-Kojima, some things I like and some I don't. :) Same way I like Tolkien but nowadays I skip all the poems and songs - Frankly, Mr. Shankly... :) And even Umberto Eco's love of lists can be a bit much, sometimes... :)
My main problem with this game, so to speak, is the existence of something else, something amazing, something that has no business being as good as it is. :) I hope whoever wins this game has fun, but I really hope people learn about the other game, too... :)

Lol, fair enough! You should go back and play the old ones if you get a chance, they are really good but controls are badly dated though :S
Comment has been collapsed.
Ahh, my umm, windows xbox controller died so I'd need to use the PS3 emulator (works great) + a Steam controller (works great for some games, really sucks for others). Probably games with badly dated controls would fall into the "really sucks" category... :(
I think making the right stick a touch pad was a cool idea, but nobody copied it for a reason... :) Oh well...

Ah well with emulators you can remap the controller I guess, should be better that way!

I can never figure out your puzzles, and yes I should re-read Zelghadis guide.
Probably cause i spend like 60 seconds trying to figure it out.
ha.
Thanks for sharing the game with the annoying Walking Dead dude! j/k
Have a great rest of your day fiftykyu

I don't know if Disco Elysium is "better" than Planescape: Torment (whatever that means) but knowing you can even ask the question should say something. :)
This game was in my cart but I thought hmm, why? And I had no answer. So screw it. :)
Thank you, you too! :) Good luck! :)

I like your style, fiftykyu; Disco Elysium has been on my GOG wishlist for months before it came out. I love OG Fallout and I love '70s stuff, so this seems like the perfect union!

Disco Elysium is super good! :) Hopefully this game isn't too bad, either... But... :)
I know which game was worth buying with a 0% discount, and which one's still sitting on my wishlist... :)
Good luck! :)

So I'm just wondering, why do a giveaway for a game that you don't seem to support. Instead of giving away the game that you want us to check out? Thank you for the giveaway <3
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I already gave away two copies of Disco Elysium here. :) But they were in the forum, and not everyone reads the forum. :)
I might possibly be giving away another copy in here, too... But finding that giveaway is going to require a modicum of reading + thinking... :) Which is kinda the point. Disco Elysium is a reading + thinking game. :)
I'm not giving away free keys I mooched from the publisher to promote my precious group/stream/whatever, I'm paying my own money for this stuff. So I'd prefer Disco Elysium goes to someone who likes to read, and isn't afraid to think, just a bit... :)
I'm not terribly interested in what happens with this giveaway, it's just some preorder nonsense. Maybe good, maybe bad, who cares? :)
Good luck! :)

FYI to others: Be careful about trying to activate 20+ keys or you'll get this message:
Comment has been collapsed.
As any shovelware junkie can tell you, 10 failed redemptions (bad key, already used, whatever) or 50 successful ones give you the 1 hour cooldown. :) When that happens every key you try to redeem will fail, until the cooldown period is up. But I suppose you already know that. :)
After a whole hour of this giveaway being up, I'd have expected the whole mess to be used... Glad you were able to grab an unused key somehow... :)
Good luck! :)

Honestly even if it just is a walking simulator, i'm a big sucker for those types of games. Except now I get a artsy big budget walking simulator

This game might be ok, but I dunno... There's a huge pile of cheaper walking simulators on Steam... :)
Disco Elysium is great! :) There's probably a giveaway for it somewhere or other... :)
Good luck! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah but basically think of it this way. There's RPG maker rpgs, and then there's persona 5 rpgs.
There's typical indie walking sims, and then there's triple A walking sims 0 v 0
Interested to see how neato it might be artistically
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, as long as someone else's paying for it, I agree... :) But personally, I'd wait for a sale on this one... :) I'm sure it's super artistic and neato though... :) From what I've seen it kinda sounds like Kojima turned up to 11... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
it's not a walking sim. It gets pretty rough later on. People are just hating on it because they've seen the first 8 hours of gameplay, when the real game starts after 8+ hours :))

I mean I don't really care what it is. I like Kojima stuff. I'm sure no matter what i'm in for a treat.

"What can change the nature of a man?" means a lot to me.
I've heard great things about Disco Elysium. Definitely on my radar.
I was "cautiously curious" about Death Stranding, and the reviews make it seem to not live up to its considerable hype. But thanks for the chance.

If you liked Planescape: Torment, definitely keep Disco Elysium on your wishlist... :) Hopefully it will get some sort of discount in the Winter Sale... :)
This, I dunno... I guess we can hope for some trading cards or something... :)
