It's also mostly "mystery game" or "rad bats", so that probably skewed the numbers.

Bad Rats is usually registered as a mystery game. That's why it's off the list

Most of the Bad Rats giveaways don't use the name Bad Rats so it'd be impossible to tell. "Mystery Game" is in the top 10 though.

so good...

8 more hours of Alan Wake..woo

The people want more Alan Wake. I just hope Remedy is listening to their cries...

 

[Kinyou]

I actually wish Okami was only half as long as it is.

You have to fight a boss at least three times to really appreciate him.

 

[Biochet]

YES, Alan wake won!

 

[Sub Zero]

So did I

It was an account some scammer was using to snatch games from careless people. Don't know if his plan worked, but it's good that he was banned. Wonder why this asshole got accepted in the first place with a name like this

How did Bad Rats even become the go-to gag Steam gift?

Games submitted to ModBot (including errors, duplicates, tests, etc): 25,584
Games claimed successfully: 23,644

That's a lot of unclaimed games just waiting for Modbot scavengers to snatch them up.

 

[MUnited83]

Has anyone here actually won something on SteamGifts? :O The odds of winning there are pretty insane,

Maybe...

 

[Caerith]

Better than 3 games mashed into 1 so it feels like you're about to fight the final boss twice before you actually find and fight the final boss.
Okami -- the game that overstays it's welcome by more than 30 hours.

Okami is three of my favorite games.

 

[iosefe]

YES, Alan wake won!

It's daily...so salty

 

[MrTeachwell]

I would just do that, RE4 is a very long game and it has the benefit of being the best in the series. All of the Resident Evil games are pretty different outside of 5 which is a less interesting, confined version of 4.

Best in the series after RE 2 and RE remake. hehe seriously this re talk is amusing. I've been a fan since number 2 (hence why I believe it's the best as I never played 1 in it's original form) and so far I have enjoyed RE4, RE Rev and RE 5, but they are all different games and take the series in slightly different directions. They are all more action focused than the old classics, but they all offer varying degrees of resident evilness in their own ways.

The solution to potential buyers? Get them all! or watch gameplay videos and decide whether you like the looks of how they play.

While we're on the topic. Have you played Juniper's Knot it's a short novel with amazing artwork. You should check it out because it is free.

Woah, this looks nice. Gonna play this later.

Wasn't alan wake 90% off last sale? Hmmm and all the other games that have been cheaper in recent sales going up in price this sale. ...HAS STEAM GOTTEN SMARTER ABOUT THEIR PRICE/SALE FLOORS? *GASP*

 

[Kanokare]

Just did level 2 of Typing of the Dead. Only got 56th place, probably because of that 1 mistake I had but I think it was a really good run so I'll upload that. Dat acting tho...

 

[Turfster]

To nobody's surprise, the pack with the reruns won.

Really would have thought Valve would have swapped it out with something else.
Someone over there is just messing up on the sale order it seems.

 

[derExperte]

Maybe...

How? The odds are terrible. I gave up long ago, won one game and it turned to out to only be the beta.

 

[Nabs]

Fuck yes. I'm going to buy Alan Wake when it goes on sale.

I won one game. It was worth a dollar, and the guy who gifted it hounded me to play it.

Pissed that Go! Go! Nippon! ~My First Trip to Japan~ never went on sale and doesn't look like its going to go on sale.

 

[jblank83]

Publishers/Developers are setting their own sale prices now. Valve used to pitch sale prices and would push for drastic sales.

 

[DrEvil]

challenge accepted

Better live up to this promise. It is legally binding now that you've won.

 

[Stage On]

Pissed that Go! Go! Nippon! ~My First Trip to Japan~ never went on sale and doesn't look like its going to go on sale.

If all else fails it's been bundled once and will probably be bundled again

So when ARE you finally playing Zombie Shooter 2???

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I thought it strange that there's really only one dialogue branch in the entire episode, but that the branch itself is a series of logical arguments to state your case so it was pretty good.

That was my main sticking point with it. The only branching dialogue tree comes in near the end, and that's really it. Then you get one of two endings.

The game's music is great, the art is really good, the writing was really great and the few characters in the game felt endearing. But it sort of felt like there was some cut content due to time/funding constraints or something, as if there was supposed to be more to the narrative than what the final product was.

It's still good, though.

 

[Stumpokapow]

That's a lot of unclaimed games just waiting for Modbot scavengers to snatch them up.

I periodically raffle off all the unclaimed junk in the system to catch things up and in the past it's mostly been 50% junk 25% actual unclaimed steam stuff 25% desura/origin turds sitting in the system forever. I would expect an unclaimed game raffle for everything that's been unclaimed up to around last month or so, and when I post it I'll post a warning in the Steam thread a few hours before and then post a thread in Gaming with all the unclaimed stuff.

 

[gngf123]

Atmospheric horror won. What a fucking surprise.

Surely I'll vote for the winner once during the sale. Hasn't happened yet.

Fuck yes. I'm going to buy Alan Wake when it goes on sale.

Dude: http://store.steampowered.com/app/108710/

That doesn't seem right, because CS:GO was one of those games that was priced lower in the winter sale.

Is Alan Wake worth it? Somehow I haven't bought it in a previous sale.

wowowow

I was joking, but that actually ended up happening.


Thanks DrEvil! Downloading now... let's see how much I remember from back when I first played this classic! (definitely won't be able to even come close to finishing it, though )

I suggest you take a look at the steam page for it, under about the game

Oh, I knew going in that it would only have two endings. I also went in knowing that it was episodic.
