The givers/takers list is mostly to see who the top takers are so we can update our permablock lists. I'm curious to see who has broken 30 now without giving anything back.

I don't think anybody took 30 yet.

I think the average is around 7 games, which imo is fine

 

[Hawkie]

yes

.

Yes

Thank you

The last list I saw had some people in the high teens, and that was days ago.

 

[jtb]

it's not even possible to take 30 games through modbot yet. The system limits you to one per 24 hours after you take more than 15, I think.

there is such list for public?

 

[derExperte]

The problem with the givers and takers list is that some people have given out a significant amount of games NOT using modbot.

So it's really hard to make tabs on those people (As an example, I have given out maybe 100ish dollers worth of giveaways in the last 3 days) through pms and minigames.

If it counts them also then it's good.

It wouldn't but I think we can still easily seperate the good folks from the scumbags.

After javabots 'departure' the rules were relaxed a little,

 

[Chance Hale]

If one hasn't played Blood Money get that instead(or hell, get both hardly expensive) but many people have and Absolution is still a decent game worth playing.

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

man, what happened to all these great stealth franchises. I weep for the Hitman and Splinter Cell franchises, I weep.

Was hitman ever considered a stealth game. It has stealth elements but I don't know if i would call it a stealth game.

Stump posted it a few times, don't know if it's public.

i don't even know how to take. so can't be me.

 

[Fireblend]

Well I think this is my last spare key. Enjoy!

Just a heads up I think no one has requested this one yet, or ModBot is getting lazy (maybe it's just not a very good game?)

 

[Stumpokapow]

Invention of the century.

is there an updated list of top givers/takers?

Top takers is basically the same as before because of the blocklists and throttling measures now on the bot basically ensure no one at the top of the list will keep going up. The rule right now is one key per half an hour, >15 keys in last week = 1 every 12 hours, >17 keys in last week = 1 every 3 days.

Givers (including anonymous):
48 SephirothRK MY MANNNNNN
37 xelios
29 chugen
22 jshackles
20 Cloudius12
19 Dog Problems
18 Glass Rebel
16 vermadas
15 almostheathen

 

[DukeBobby]

But what if I already played that? I mean isn't it at least supposed to be a decent game even if it has nothing to do with Hitman anymre

Yes, it's a decent enough game, I guess. If you really, really want it, you could do worse.

Although, you could also do a lot better.

 

[Deques]

Stump posted it a few times, don't know if it's public.

should be posted in the OP

Wow, thanks guys. I've only give away three things so I need to step up my game

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

SephirothRK = Neogaf Santa

 

[Almighty]

Yeah you are probably right. I am just bitter that I we got that instead of Blood Money 2.

 

[Gvaz]

Mars War Logs is terrible, get rid of it. Otherwise buy.

Is it? Because I saw the video and it looks basically what Mass Effect should have been.

As of two days ago, there was this.

 

[Dambrosi]

To anyone asking if they should buy Hitman Absolution:

Slap yourselves and buy Blood Money.

Yes indeed. If you have Blood Money and still want Absolution for any reason, seek help - or better still, buy Mark Of The Ninja, Chronicles Of Riddick off GOG, or Dishonored.

The sniper challenge mini-game they gave away with H:A's preorders is better than the main game. Real Talk.

 

[DirtRiver]

Has anybody else reached the point where you see the games on sale, contrast them to the games on your backlog, and go "How the fuck am I ever going to go though this all?". I was eyeing Tomb Raider but I know I won't play it until probably next year so I can wait.

I think I've done it guys. I think I've finally beaten Steam.

Spoiler

I think

well that makes me feel better then. Especially that Givers list, SephirothRK giving out games like he gave out wins in Marvel vs Capcom 3, every day and all day.

 

[dream]

Yeah, I'm with ricochetguro--I enjoyed Hitman Absolution very much. It just plays very differently from Blood Money, almost like a streamlined installment.

 

[Mass Effect]

Mark of the Ninja.

Too bad it won't go on sale.

(It probably will though)

 

[liezryou]

Is it? Because I saw the video and it looks basically what Mass Effect should have been.

Yeah it looks good... so why the bad metacritic score?

 

[cicero]

Slightly annoying that people are buying low and reselling higher for cards.

Instead of what exactly? Bottoming out the market for each card by selling as low as they possibly can?

What's the number of games the highest taker took?

 

[RionaaM]

Was hitman ever considered a stealth game. It has stealth elements but I don't know if i would call it a stealth game.

It's called social stealth. Hiding in plain sight. Blending with your environment.

Absolution threw all that away and became a cutscene-heavy plain stealth game.

 

[chugen]

29? fuck that, 30 is better

That's why I'm not buying Hitman or LA Noire. I know I've reached the point that by the time I may actually be able to play them, it'll be time for the Christmas sale.

Damn made the wall of shame, at least I have given away two awesome games though.

 

[Deques]

need to give more games to beat SephirothRK

 

[Stumpokapow]

15, which is about where it was the last time I posted the stats so either out of fear or restriction the real mooches are no longer taking

Has there been a reset? I had like 14 before giving away 5 Metro keys.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Some very very generous gaffers.

It was $3.75 on Amazon, wasn't it?

There are two new people that i've seen take more than 10.
Maybe I'm wrong.

And I had 5 and I've not taken anything since then.

MotN was 75% off a month ago, so it's just a matter of when.

Is there any rule to stop people from taking 2 of the same game for whatever reason? I swear to god I've seen it happen.

Hmmm. Well, I'll take it Tiny and Big in Grandpa's Leftovers isn't a very good game. Or maybe ModBot is acting up/I screwed up? Stumpokapow?

Giveaway here

 

[RS4-]

Thinking about it now, the guy who gave Javadots the Bioshock Infinite key should've just given it out to someone else before that scumbag figured out how to redeem it.

 

[derExperte]

It was? When?

Yesterday?

 

[Gvaz]

Yeah it looks good... so why the bad metacritic score?

im guessing it's because it's a french game

 

[Caerith]

15, which is about where it was the last time I posted the stats so either out of fear or restriction the real mooches are no longer taking

I don't think it's fear stopping them.

 

[Wolfie5]

Bought today:

Hitman €6.24
Resident Evil 5 €5
Total: 11,24

Deals have been pretty good for me this far. Now if only Dishonoured would be a daily, can't believe it lost community vote.
