56% Steamgifts Beaten

This has been a better week for me on a personal level, but as far as video games it has a pretty lite week. I only got in about 10-15 hours of game time, which is a bit disappointing. But in the overall scheme of things it isn't a big issue. As far as wins, I was so excited that I got Steamworld Heist this week off of Steamgifts. Really freaking excited about it, I haven't started it but I fully expect to this upcoming week.

This leads me to the question I have this week for all of you, what game have you been most excited about winning in Steamgifts and why?

Knights of Pen & Paper +1

Finally got all of the achievements in this game. It was fun while it lasted, a bit of a pain in the arse to back through but it really did fill a bit of a void in how I have been playing games recently (while watching youtube videos).

Nebula Online

Played this a bit more, and decided it wasn't worth it anymore. I marked it as beaten as I have gone as far as I think I can for this MMO that doesn't have a player base. I think I have experienced all that that game has offered and that is why I am marking it as beaten rather than "Won't play".

Starward Rogue

I am really enjoying this Roguelike, but it has issues. It misses a few things in game design, specifically color design. All the bullets have the same color schemes across the board, it is hard to tell who's bullets are whose. This is a pain when I don't think my own bullets hurt me... the other issue is that most of the bosses are essentially the boss.

Tower Wars

Marked this as beaten, I did this because the game is fun but I suck so much at it. I beat one of the computers... and the classic TD mode. I just stopped enjoying it as I went up a computer and I don't know how to get any better at the game. It is frustrating because I really enjoy the concept of the game but I can't micro fast enough to be any good.

Mars: War Logs

Just started this game, it is interesting. It seems like it is a simple basic RPG without much depth. But for in my opinion the combat is a bit one note so far. From my understanding the game is fairly short for an RPG (10 hours or so), so I will stick with it to see it through.

Life is Hard

Man, I really want to like this game. But in it's current state, the bugs I hit seem to impact me more than I would care to know about. I think this is one of those games that I can wait on and decide whether to play it more or not. I created a new list, a wait for patches/updates list. I can check in the future if it has been updated or not based on my last time played.

Arbiter Libera

Hey man, glad to hear it’s turning for the better.

This leads me to the question I have this week for all of you, what game have you been most excited about winning in Steamgifts and why?

For me, it was both the most exciting one because I hadn’t played many GTA-style games in general and also one of the more disappointing ones because of how the game turned out - Watch Dogs. Shame.

TerinHD

Ah man… Watch Dogs. I played that on my PS4, didn’t even finish the main story… Good concept, missed execution. I got Watch Dogs 2 when I ordered my new graphics card, I have heard its better but I didn’t get into it because I many more games that I would rather play.

This might be one of those Vanilla and Chocolate moments.

Have you tried any of the Saints Row series? I think they are pretty good for the GTA feel, but they are totally even more over the top then GTA.

Arbiter Libera

I tried Saints Row 2 ages ago, but it ran horrendously on PC so I didn’t really stick with it. Now there’s a massive that fixes and improves the game so who knows. I might check it out again some day.

TerinHD

Yeah I never got Saints Row 2 working properly on any of my machines.

Forsaken

That game have you been most excited about winning in Steamgifts and why?

Betrayer. I entered hundreds of giveaways to win this one and I screamed in happiness when I won. It ended up being featured in a “make your own bundle for 1 dollar” type of deal on a website some weeks after that. I could have easily bought it for myself if I had kept losing it :P

The game has amazing art. Just watching some gameplay videos made me feel sure that I’d enjoy it a lot. Stealth is also an option (always a massive plus in my book) even though it doesn’t work properly but I loved the game so much. It has a very dark story too. It’s one of my proudest wins :D

TerinHD

Hahaha, I totally overlooked this game. Not sure it is my cup of tea, because I typically ignore games with the horror and/or stealth tags. But the game seems to have a very awesome art style.

escollo

So you become better? Good for you!
About you question:
Unepic. It was my first wishlist win. At that time I didn’t get used to SG wins and was really exiting to get smth from wishlist. I hope I don’t sound like a jerk :( Game, btw, is pretty good with lot of humor.

TerinHD

Doing much better. Thanks! UnEpic sounds like an awesome win!

Congratz!

I just won fallout 4. I’m really excited to try it next month. I’ve played New Vegas a ton of times. One of my favorite games and my definitely favorite fallout. (I have to finish february’s batch first)

TerinHD

Nice! I started playing it while I was waiting to build my new PC on my PS4. Had to borrow it from a friend, it was pretty good.
