Topic | Steam Gift Contest XII: The Charitable Planet |
AuthenticZac 07/02/18 12:49:25 PM #293 | So, quick reminder, but the sale ends on Thursday, which means that today is the last day to get your entries into the contest (slightly over 24 hours from the time of this post) On a completely unrelated note, I have added a few games to my wishlist that are around the $5 price point *cough*2nd wishlist post*cough* --- |
Topic | ITT: post lyrics from the last song you listened to |
AuthenticZac 07/02/18 10:19:44 AM #3 | Ysabella grew up in a house down by the river with her wicked stepmother and her cruel stepsisters who would never lift a finger to get anything done leaving little Ysabella as the only one to venture out into the forest where the stories told of a mad, unholy being both capricious and bold and over overwhelming power, Baba Yaga, infamed for her appetite for children, Bella's father used to say. One evening Ysabella found, through no fault of her own That she was still out in the forest when she should have been at home And squinting in the darkness for a light to be her guide Saw the flicker of a lantern in the distance and decided To make her way towards the light, for little did she know Baba Yaga watched her as she went below And swooping down she caught the poor girl in a hempen sack And took her back to serve her at the chicken-leg shack. --- |

AuthenticZac 07/02/18 7:46:17 AM #284 | ^Agreed. The chances to win were always going to be low regardless, but seeing so many bots winning each planet makes it more discouraging. As a sidenote, Megaman-like Planet just became available about an hour ago (20xx, Megabyte Punch, Mercenary Kings, Super Win the Game) --- |

AuthenticZac 07/01/18 2:48:26 PM #228 | watertank posted... whoa, steamworld heist looks hella fun. Also feel kinda bad tho, cuz I got more than enough gifts lol I can definitely recommend it - very fun. A good cast of characters with their own set of skills, allowing you to customize your team loadout in an assortment of ways (I always went double-tank+sniper). Did a good job at introducing new mechanics at a steady rate as well, while also at a fair difficulty curve that never required any real grinding. Plus, had procedural generation, so never had to worry about levels getting stale if you did decide to grind a bit. --- |

Either I'm rusty from not playing the original for so long or they actually upped the challenge a bit but damn that last stretch that I know for damn sure wasn't in the original. Also full version of the theme song over the credits. I can't think of the remastered version without remembering this glitch from launch --- |

Topic | Steam Gift Contest XII: The Charitable Planet |
AuthenticZac 06/29/18 6:50:50 PM #1 | ***Note: ArchangelBaruch is the one running this contest - I am just the host for this particular topic*** ***Note 2: Be sure to let AlakazamTrainer know that we are thinking of his papa *** RULES For the newbies, rules are simple: - Do you want to get free games? Post your Steam wishlist and someone will gift you stuff! - Feeling generous? Gift something to someone and you'll get a chance to win prizes! That's the basics. Here's a couple additional things to keep in mind (since in every contest people ask the same questions): - When gifting, please put somewhere in the gift message your GFAQs username. It helps keeping things straight. - When you receive a gift, please post in the topic saying what you received and from whom. - While this is called "Steam" gift topic, it isn't limited to it. Basically as long as the gift is a game, it counts. - Gifters get one entry per gifted game. At the end of the contest ArchangelBaruch will randomly pick a few winners entry from the pool, so the more you gift the more you can win! - You get only one entry for all games coming from an individual bundle (though if you bought two copies of the same bundle and gift games from both, you get two entries. And so on). - You don't get entries from games you got for free. - Gifts done elsewhere in GameFAQs count, as long as they have been gifted after the creation of this topic. - To avoid getting the topic saturated, you can only post a link to your wishlist thrice per topic. You are free to put it in your sig for normal posts, though. - Before posting in the next topic, please wait until this one hits 500. PRIZES As in recent contests there will be 10 giftboxes. Each one of these is worth $10, and each will be given to a gifter from the gift list at random. Additionally, 2 gift boxes will be given to the person who'll gift the most stuff and 1 to the second person. This puts the total prize of the contest at $130. Additionally, if you have a giftbox remaining from a past contest (listed in the Winners tab) you can claim it at any point. Prizes can be redeemed for either games, Paypal/Amazon/whatever credit, or kept in the abovementioned tab for when you see something you fancy. DEADLINE Deadline for entering the contest is 48 hours before the end of the Sales (which ends on July 5th). That will give ArchangelBaruch enough time to give prizes for cheap, so you guys will get more games. ARCHIVE All entries will be kept in a Google Doc: https://goo.gl/52ynFv All people who want to help keeping this doc up-to-date are welcome, just PM ArchangelBaruch your Google account so that he can add you. By default, everyone who helped in the past have been added. --- |

Everything else is fine though. I'm even okay with the limited combat (only getting to control a single person) --- |

Topic | How definite are GameStop trade in values? |
AuthenticZac 06/29/18 11:38:24 AM #13 | That's the definite price. If they are running a promotion, you can actually get more. Like right now, if you bring in 6+ games, they will increase the value of your trades by 30%. So you would end up getting $10.40 for that game instead of $8 (40% bonus if you are a pro member, 50% bonus for elite-pro) --- |

AuthenticZac 06/28/18 2:55:57 PM #71 | Popcorn_Fairy posted... What are his abilities? 600 health (can't tell amount of armor based on just watching streams) 1: quad cannons as primary 2: mode-switch between walking and rolling at a higher speed 3: shield boost (more shield based on number of nearby enemies) - 15 second cooldown 4:grappling hook that allows him to grab onto surfaces and swing around and high speed. hitting enemies does knockback and a fair amount of damage - 5 second cooldown 5:piledriver - while in air, do a downward strike with the ball - 10(?) second cooldown ultimate: minefield - scatters a bunch of mines around you. Something I'm curious about, and would love to see, is if the grappling hook can also hook onto pharahs... Imagine having her flying the hamster around as a mobile wrecking ball. --- |

AuthenticZac 06/26/18 6:40:45 PM #64 | DarkFists posted... I'm actually impressed you managed to sift through all the hate to hear good things. I enjoyed the trilogy, but it was pretty unpopular, then again, the people are hating on 15 now :P The hate tends to ebb and flow with each release. And now that a few years have passed, it seems to have calmed down. From what I remember, 13 is supposed to have a pretty good story (albeit linear), and 13-2 has the great gameplay (monster capturing). Don't recall hearing much about Lightning Returns though, but the time mechanic does have me interested (makes me think Majora's Mask) --- |
