I had oodles of games that I gave away in the Merry Christmas thread of giving away games but that's slowed down with nobody taking any of the remainder for 24+ hours so I figured I'd just copy and paste the remainder over to here. Keep in mind that if you already got a game from my big list in that other thread you won't be eligible for these as I didn't resubmit a new request to Modbot.

FF XIII-2 is surprisingly decent.
Runs great too, provided you rip the framepacer out - solid 60 fps in both combat and cutscenes. Drops a bit at times while exploring, with 30-40% CPU+GPU utilization, but oh well - Square Enix Japanese Studios + PC ports ¯\_(ツ

Contradiction gets my vote~
As well as tales from the borderlands.
not entirely sure how i feel about dying light. the story is the trashiest garbage that feels that every line of dialogue you hear somehow manages to be even worse than the one before but i don't really care much for any of the minute-to-minute stuff. the parkour feels nothing like mirror's edge, you don't feel swift, you feel like a chunky marine dude snapping to preset positions through not-so-quick animations. and speaking of slow animations, i must've seen that slow ass chest-opening animation like 200 times already in like 3 hours of play, that shit is not fun. nor is any of the combat.
but there's something to be said for the general fun of giving you a town with scary zombie guys and letting you explore it at your leisure in a slightly more involved way than ass creed, even tho this town is hideous and super boring to look at and everyone living in it somehow managed to have even less personality than the zombies walking the streets
i'm pretty close to calling it quits. i just gotta admit that games like this are not for me. i need a decent story to keep myself involved, or at least not having one that's insulting
yeah me too

Thinking about buying Sid Meier's Starships. Anyone who has played it?
I know that it has gotten mediocre scores, but I'm still hoping that it can be at least something like the Ace Patrol games, that were small in scope but still quite fun.

Uncool. I just started this game recently and coming across this comment was a stab in the heart. Spoiler tags exist for a reason.
Edit: Upon a second reading, he/she could be talking about early game conversations. It's unclear, but I'll leave it as is for now.
excellent suggestions
also thanks for the gift, i guess
yes, they're fantastic games with really good writing and really good themes
they're some of my favorite games ever, highly recommended to anyone that cares about narrative in games
I think because you 'level up skills in a skill tree' your parkouring feels really stiff until you hit the third tier where you climb/mantle stuff faster. I also feel like it's not as robust as Mirror's Edge parkour at times, or the variety of freerunning moves feels limited. Especially when I can't do some of the stuff Mirror's Edge just lets you do.
It kinda also opens up when you get the grappling hook. And the second map, unless you've already been there, because that feels more fun to parkour around in.

Beaten Contradiction, not bad.
yeah i get what you're saying, i just can't find myself playing it enough to progress much
if john the marine johnson was a bit more graceful and could wallrun aka the most fun parkour thing then i'd probably a lot more into it, but as it is i can only handle so much before feeling like i'm wasting my time or grossed out from the excessive violence and gore
i feel there's a really good gameplay loop here because scavenging for parts and being all tense because of zombies walking around and finding paths through rooftops and whatnot is all great but it's also tied to really gamey and boring things like having to unlock safehouses and having to fight with really shallow combat in which all weapons kind of feel the same. like i don't even fight zombies cos they're so boring to deal with and that's cool, but then the game turns into run straight from this place to that place and that's just assassins creed and ass creed has the advantage of being gorgeous and super interesting to look at and also kind of having a fun story with fun characters and all that crap
basically, i wish you could wallrun
One of the best (if not the best) OELVN out there.
I definitely like Dying Light and I'll admit it's a game you have to take both the freerunning and combat things equally at a point. I think it does commit that cardinal sin where you need to invest in the skills to make a big difference in freerunning. Even AC (at least up to Unity) has never really been a big gatekeeper there with a few small exceptions for side content, you can freerun however you want from the start.yeah i get what you're saying, i just can't find myself playing it enough to progress much

Although to continue my point, combat complexity, like navigation mechanics are also gated by a skill tree, so there's that. As fun as the game is it does sometimes feel like you have to play it until it gets more fun.
it's just a really good game, vn or not. it's a lot more involved than a regular vn which is great since i find regular vns super boring. being able to move at your own pace and investigate and learn is great, it feels like an actual game and everything
also hate plus is just as good
yeah i think the big mistake is that you can gate some stuff as fun unlockables and everything, that's satisfying and feels like good reward for your progress, much better than raw stats or anything like that
the thing is that the game just doesn't feel great at the start and i just wish i could drop kick zombies or just be able to slide from the get go, it feels annoying to have to grind to get access to basic things like those.

I'm several hours in
and it's safe to say that Ys 6 is a distant third after Felghana and Origin.

I'm honestly surprised that I can't give away that copy of Fly'n. I tried last year and it was never taken in the giveaway thread and this year it's still around after 70+ other games have been taken that I offered up. I haven't beaten my copy but I was really impressed with what I played for a smaller platformer that feels similar to the newer Rayman games. It looks good and plays smoothly.
I don't stick around the Steam threads all that often (simply too many posts for how much I browse) but was Fly'n not liked by folks here? Or has nobody else tried it out? Oh well.
Edit: And of course while I wrote this post someone finally grabbed it. Good job! Hopefully you'll enjoy it!

yo, imagine that game without fast travel. how are you liking dash jumping?

I forgot that originally the Ys 6 didn't have fast travel. Jeeeezus.
Also I've yet to even try dash-jumping.
EDIT: Ohhhhh okay. So that's how it works. What a silly game.

It think it's just that it's been bundled many times and I'm pretty sure even given away for free in promotions at least once, maybe more.
Edit: Cleaning out my inventory and no one has this on their wishlist!

Oh, didn't realize it had been bundled so often. I bought it directly from Steam originally and this spare was from one of the Humble bundles so I assumed it had only been bundled once or twice there. I'm assuming it must be bundled on some of the other bundle sites since I never really check them out. I suppose that could be why nobody ever wants it? Well, it's a good game so I just wanted to make sure people knew.
I know that some of my remaining games aren't so hot which is why I don't really push them. I'll eventually have to set up a garbage dump giveaway just to finally be done with the last handful of games, heh.

AssCreed Syndicate's 30fps cloth physics is a tad distracting.
I needed to look for a guide, but it's easy. also in order to grab all items you only need to use that twice, is not even requested if you want just beat the game.
But yeah, the game should give you a hint on how to perform it.
Not gonna talk you out of TiTS cause both are great games, but i'll say that those negatives reviews from november were from one patch, and a lot of the random stuff was either changed in december or put into the options menu as added difficulty to turn on if you choose. Still a tough game, just not near as bad as some of those reviews paint it.

Need a recommendation for someone who only played diablo 3 since its release. He also played gran turismo 5 and starcraft 2 before that.
He made himself a steam account and wants some new games to play

As I read that a few times already now, some words on this that I am reposting from the Hidden Gem thread. Although, I still wouldnt recommend the game if you cant deal with some frustration and despair, because the game IS unrelenting:
Also, as nbraun mentioned, you can turn off some of the more annoying things via the option menu if you really cant deal with it.

I must say, that the whole "get cards for looking at your discovery queue" is a good thing. I added a bunch of titles to my wishlist, even some games i forgot i wanted ages ago.
would be rad though if Steam natively displays a notification on the frontpage if you are "not interested" in a title. like wishlist and owned games.

People around here have been liking Grim Dawn, not sure if that's too similar to D3 for him, or he's looking for something different.
I need to fire up Darkest Dungeon again soon, have about 40 hours in it from months ago, but i'm doubting my opinion will change, it's always been tough, yet rewarding. I remember getting to one boss at good health and she' just dumpstered all 4 and I couldn't run away, sucked, but just started recruiting more heroes.
Souls! Heck ton of other games too...
Indeed.
You send the gifts to your own e-mail address and use the redemption links as the "keys". You can chop off the ?redeemer=your@email.com portion, and be aware that you can't send multiple copies of the same game to the one e-mail address (if there's one already pending, the other won't go through).
Edit: This is new and quite neat:

Send them to yourself and you can use the link you receive in modbot just like a code. Just strip everything after and including the '?" out of the link.
Not really, the SRPG part is really bare-bones.
Think of it more like an animated version of Oregon Trail.
I miss the list of unowned apps.
Here are a couple interesting games I found in my discovery que, that some of you may like:
Just Get Through Platformer, light rogue upgrades after each run, online leaderboards, only $1.
Tomb of Tyrants Looks like a pretty interesting combination of clearing out tiles(through a bejeweled style puzzle) to make room for floors in your dungeon you are buffing up to stop oncoming heroes. $3.99
Blackhole. Looks like a nice puzzle/platformer with an interesting story and what sounds like good voice acting and soundtrack. $2.99

Barebones makes it sound a bit too negative, though. The SRPG part is simpler, but positioning and evaluating targets is still hugely important and makes for interesting tactical decisions. For the amount of combat featured (you will not spend most of the time in combat) it suits it very well actually.
But yes, the game does not have a million skills and classes for every character.
