Is this the biggest giveaway we've had?

Well, Feep has given away copies of his games to every GAFfer who's asked...

JaseC once raffled off family sharing access to his thousands-strong steam account...

So I guess it depends on how you're defining "biggest giveaway."

I think a few of the ModBot recycled turd giveaways have been larger, but this is definitely one of the biggest user-initiated giveaways in terms of number of keys.

Jesu Christo!

Are there even that many Steamgaffers?

There's only a 15 minute throttle between wins and it'll take ModBot way more than 15 minutes to clear the list, so some people can win multiples on that.

And it has MUCH more good stuff than I expected when I saw that amount of stuff !

I'll say.

It's quite possible ModBot will hit the character limit trying to edit out who claims all these, hahaah.

...I think it already hit, as there is no time limit at the bottom xD

edit : or the countdown image is dead here .... much more visible in a giveaway with less games =P

I want to try the Way of the Samurai series, but waiting for them to get a good discount is taking a long time.

 

[Tapejara]

I ended up refunding TMNT Mutants in Manhattan. 30FPS cap is a real deal breaker, and if it does get delisted I can just grab a physical copy on PS4.

There was a good 40% launch discount, but not much better since.

Steam discounts are drying up a bit.

I tried WOTS4, and I liked what they were trying to do, but holy hell are the controls unmanageable.

 

[the_firewithin]

Since is free on psn and had this steam wishlisted I've been playing through stories path of destinies and it been quite enjoyable. Different story paths with some humor in the writing. Not really difficult good enough I'd double dip on steam one day

So I guess it depends on how you're defining "biggest giveaway."

Yeah, I meant in terms of just "single user pumping the biggest number of games through ModBot in a single giveaway".

I think a few of the ModBot recycled turd giveaways have been larger, but this is definitely one of the biggest user-initiated giveaways in terms of number of keys.

Ah yeah, I forgot about those turd giveaways.

It's also really terrible. You're not missing much.

 

[Rhaknar]

Lilly Looking Through didnt do much for me, as far as short adventure games I feel The Silent Age was much better for example. Still, the art is cute and its short so you might want to clear it from your backlog.

And that makes 43.

 

[dave is ok]

The odds should be good on Alienware stream, but I have yet to win anything in like 100+ tries

 

[Rhaknar]

Nabs go buy Nitroplus Blaster so I have an excuse to buy it also.

Its the only anime fighter im tempted by because it seems like the easiest one to pick up and play and still do crazy anime shit.

 

[Volimar]

You'd think.

150 codes and a bunch of physical items and I didn't win anything.

 

[shockdude]

Turd giveaways were good times. I still remember the confusion resulting from me redeeming someone's copy of Gun Monkeys.

 

[someguyinahat]

So for some reason I thought "Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle" was a hidden-object game. Maybe it was the way the title is set up, maybe it was the graphics...but anyway, turns out it's an old-school first-person point-and-click adventure. You know the kind: they have six unnecessary screens where you can't interact with anything before you get to the next pertinent area? Rather than click on the picture on the wall to look at it, you have to move forward and then turn left? FMV segments in low-res? Yeah. I'm only 20 minutes in and I'm already not sure I'll be able to get through this.

I will say this for it, though: the voice acting is good.

I'll post full impressions at a later time.

is this a joke post?

the shit is rigged as fuck

the chances are between .7% and 1.8% and yet the same few people win back to back and have won like 7 times in one night

and they are the same people who win every other night

and if you point out that the shit is rigged as fuck and that the same people win constantly, then they block/ban you.. so what the fuck are they trying to hide?

yes the odds are the same every time, but what is the probability of the same person winning with those small odds? then multiply that by the 6 more times that same person won with the exact odds, and over the course of several months

if these people are truly "just lucky" like the alienware frauds say, then why aren't they at a casino playing craps? because dice aren't rigged as fuck and have sus coding like twitter bots..

it's suspicious as fuck

It only seems that way because of the VIP giveaways. Only a small batch of people play with them throughout the month so when they do vip giveaways that small batch wins a lot. The all users ones are a lot more random. Lots of names I don't remember won tonight.

 

[Grief.exe]

That's essentially where it's been this entire time unfortunately.

How clunky is it?

and then those same people win the non-vip raffles at .8 percent odds over and over again

at least 4 people won 6 raffles tonight with individual odds varying from .8 to 2.4%

if you think that is normal then go to a casino and see how you do

Blame (pseudo-)RNG.

also this.. computers are fucking liars

Some new gameplay footage for Kingdom Hearts 0.2 A Fragmentary Passage has me aching to play Kingdom Hearts again.

I wonder if the box art not having any indication of it or the HD remasters being exclusive to PS4 means they may make their way to PC.

would love KH to be on steam but have no faith in disney who prevented dream drop distance from being sold on the eshop for some inane reason, because why would a business want to sell a product with little to no overhead?

 

[Nabs]

I'll probably snatch it up when it's around 15. Let me know if it hits that price point and I'll jump in.

Valid point, if 2.8 doesn't release on PSN then I'm certain they won't be coming to steam.

When did it start raining? ;_;

I don't remember but it was something about being on a digital service, they did the same to birth by sleep on psp, wasn't available digitally..

I don't know if its rigged as much as lazy.

what do you mean by lazy?

also I don't think it's actually 'rigged' as in they are inputting in who they want to win, but it's fucking rigged

Fae Tactics is looking fabulous

https://endlessfluff.wordpress.com/2016/12/14/fae-tactics-game-play-dev-pt-1/

The music is amazing as well.

 

[pantsattack]

Free weekend for The Division has me wondering if I should give it another try after being away a year. Didn't they redo the systems two if not three times since launch? Hitman has it's saber/cleaver/cyanide into me for near future.

Honestly I've wanted to go back and fix ModBot's ordering for a while now. The default Python dict data structure is unordered so stuff doesn't come out in any sensible order. I might make it HOT first, regular second, non-Steam third, turd fourth, A-Z within each category. This would also ensure that in a giveaway with some good stuff and a bunch of crap, the banner images are the good stuff.

That ordering would be nice. Modbot is quite a nice feature for this community already.

I just checked my email. Anyone else going to try out the Amazon's Breakaway Alpha?

Yet another game launcher! Let's see how big Breakaway is.

 

[Momentary]

Finally got this Xrd resolution thing locked down. Got it running at 10K downsampled to 4K.

Runs at 60FPS, but NV screenshots bog down games.

They certainly did. Also just updated the game to support DX12.

I want to try the Way of the Samurai series, but waiting for them to get a good discount is taking a long time.

Tell me about it.

$12.50 is the lowest they wanna go, which sucks for them/me because that's a bit over impulse buy pricing. Doesn't look to be working out for them with 3 @ 12k sales and 4 @ 58k so I'll sit tight and keep waiting.

 

[SunDimension24]

Actually it is coming to PSN

So there is still hope, no matter how low it may be.
