I should put that on my wishlist. Always love harvest moon on the 64 and GameCube so would be nice to play something similar once in a while!

Wishlist the first: In Sig. Anything would be great.

Discodancer77 has gifted me Atom RPG

Saw this quit a while ago, looks cool.

I don't know if it's been said, but Blistr gave me a copy of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition

TroutPaste has gifted me Grip: Combat Racing

Its like Mario Kart with guns and more cool stunts.

Thanks a lot mate. I've had an eye on this for quite a while. Very much appreciated.

A simple image on that game.

Glad you no longer have to eye it anymore. :D

Blistr also gifted me a copy of Borderlands 3 that I didn't notice until just now.

Holy shit now I can play through the whole series with my buddies.

Shame they always have the fun looking classes on lockdown.

I hope everyone is having fun this 1st of July.

@Shake_Like_E has gifted me Blaster Master Zero. Crazy NES Glow Up, thanks!

Shake_Like_E gifted me Age Of Empires II DE

Thanks! I was nearly black out drunk and talking to someone about this , lmao

Seeing as somebody beat me to Age of Empires 1 DE for you
Would you accept AoE 2 Definitive? Or are you genuinely done receiving gifts / happy enough with AoE 1 DE?
[12:31 AM]
4Leaf:
is that significantly better than aoe 2 HD from 2013?
i own the old version
[12:32 AM]
I can't say for certain
It's the most updated with the bigger playerbase of the lot I think
Most competitive one too
[12:32 AM]
4Leaf:
nah dont worry about it... thank you for the offer... I'll have it up on the Xmas one

Decided to reopen for the 4th topic... wasn't trying to be rude!

Honestly, more or less all of Supergiant's work is fantastic. Bastion, Transistor, Hades. Pyre is the only I haven't tried, but the rest of them are stellar games. Hades is a labour of love and it absolutely shows.

@TroutPaste

Lmao, yes, I did offer AoE II Definitive, seems as if I've been beaten to an AoE title yet again!

So, how does AoE III DE sound? haha.

Synklare has gifted me Prison Architect

where is post 63
why am I blocked

That might be Steffenfield?

Question mark? I also can't see it.

? I haven't blocked you Trout, be weird of me to do that lol.

Shake_Like_E sent me a copy of Binding of Isaac Afterbirth, cheers mate.

Maybe you can't see it because I quoted Steffenfield?

I had an @ notification at the same moment... that's why I'm confused

First post.

oh ok! Yeah synklare sent me a ghost message

@lokison sent you a request , got something picked out... going into the memory banks with these

oh right its because you quoted Steffenfield (still not sure why they blocked me, either! Someone mentioned it had to do with some topic someone made about religion, but I had no part in any of that, I dont even know what the topic in question was).

anyways I sent you a peace offering that I guess was unnecessary but please enjoy regardless lol

@discodancer77 @troutpaste @terrifyingrei

To clarify, I haven't blocked any of you. I quoted Steffenfield's post and it may be linked to that.

Also, Discodancer77 sent me a copy of Valkyria Chronicles. Thank you mate, been wanting to try out for some time, sadly no PSP, but I'm looking forward to this one.

Here's the post :

Age Of Empires III bricked my potato PC in the 2000s. I had all 4 CDs. It worked for awhile, then it stopped. It's on my wishlist... x_x

If you have a PC good enough to play Valkyria Chronicles, you have a PSP ;)

Gonna repost this from 2 topics ago. Some might have missed it. Hope no one minds. I actually think it'd be cool if other people chimed in with lists of their own. I love discovering new games I never heard of in these topics. It's actually how I found Stardew Valley when it first came out and that's a game I've put dozens of hours into.

Some semi-hidden gem recommendations:

Wilmot's Warehouse is a game that really hooked me good.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/839870/Wilmots_Warehouse/
$7.49

It's a simple game all about organizing boxes and filling customer orders in time. I'd sort of compare it to Paper's Please in terms of just you doing a job and it getting more and more stressful.

Return of the Obra Dinn is a game I fucking loved.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/653530/Return_of_the_Obra_Dinn/
$13.99

It's a weird concept all about just piecing together what happened on an old ship with a mysterious history. There's no real linear path and very little hand holding. You just explore the ship and start putting names to faces. The goal is to figure out who everyone on the ship was, what their position was and if/how they died.

Hypnospace Outlaw is another unique type of game if you're seeing a pattern in my list.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/844590/Hypnospace_Outlaw/
$9.99

You play as a moderator overseeing a very old school version of the internet. It starts out finding copyright infractions and people flaming, but there's a bigger story that comes out the further in you get. It can hit pretty hard if you have any nostalgia for 90s internet. They really nail certain parts.

Pyre is a Supergiant game I never see get enough love.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/462770/Pyre/
$4.99

It's a cross between a visual novel and a sports game like basketball or football, but with super powers. Real good story and a great soundtrack. It's the game that came before Hades, which I also couldn't recommend enough and you can see parts of it in there. But this is all about gathering members for your team, playing matches and winning the season. There's a pretty big turn as far as the progression goes, but it's better not knowing ahead of time.

Adios is possibly my favorite "walking simulator".
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1271400/Adios/
$13.49

A great game. Very short. Somewhat hard to recommend at the price, but I do think it can be worth it if the story hits you hard enough. You play as an old man who owns a farm that is paid to dispose of bodies for the local mob and you're calling it quits. The majority of the game is spending the day talking to a hitman you've been working with, doing chores around the farm while you discuss if you want to quit or not. If that premise sounds interesting enough to get you hooked and you don't mind the price for roughly 2 hours of a game, I highly recommend giving Adios a go.

Stories Untold is basically a horror game anthology.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/558420/Stories_Untold/
$1.99

Another weird one hard to explain. Each "episode" acts as its own style of game. The first being a play on classic text adventure games. Each episode offers something completely new and the less said the better I think. I think this is a must try if you have any sort of love for classic types of horror. It's not a jump scare game and is more about building tension and dread. If you have any sort of love for old horror anthologies it's 2 bucks! Buy it!

Her Story is my favorite FMV game where you piece together a mystery.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/368370/Her_Story/
$2.49

Love this game. The entire game is you searching through a police database and watching recordings of interrogations. You are given nothing to go on and there is no way to browse. All you can do is search for words that appear in the videos. You watch the results and slowly try to figure out what the hell is going on. Who is this woman? What is the crime that happened? Who is the victim? What the hell is going on? I actually recommend playing this with a pen and paper next to you so you can take notes on keywords to search for. Names, places, dates, events. Each little drip of info can lead to uncovering some major plot points. For that price I really think everyone should just give it a chance and see if you enjoy it. There's another game that came out called Telling Lies which isn't connected in any way to this one, but the gameplay is similar and I highly recommend that as well (though also suggest you add a mod that allows you an easier way to play recordings from the start). The creator's next game, Immortality comes out in a month and I'm pretty psyched to play it. But so far I think Her Story is the gold standard.

So not really very obscure games no one's ever heard of by any means, but they might have flown under someone's radar here and I think they're worth checking out. I think they're all different enough from most of the games out there and it can be great to experience something new.

Other games I absolutely love and always highly recommend: Disco Elysium, Hades, The Stanley Parable.

I just gifted the Ultra Deluxe version of Stanley Parable to a mate of mine for his Birthday just the other day. Haven't ever played it myself, hope he enjoys it. He's a bit busy with LA Noire right now and splurged on himself with a few other games like Warhammer III and the Pathfinder Kingmaker games.

I could be wrong and this is only a theory of mine, but the issues surrounding tagging people in posts, or more the point auto tagging them, seems to have started after it was announced that people could not have spaces in their usernames anymore. I believe this was due to the fact GFAQ's was using 3 seperate login systems which were recently streamlined into 1 system.

Also, I think who you can auto tag differs between people. For instance I can auto tag synklare and yourself but not EvilResident, --Zero- nor TroutPaste.

Of course you can just manually tag them and it will work.

Thank you for the incredibly detailed thoughts on that.

Nerd.

:P

Just to clarify, you can still see a quoted post of someone who's blocked you. I'm blocked by Steffenfield (still not sure why), but can still see what synklare quoted. So not sure what's going on there.

--zero-- gifted me Age OF Empires III

@synklare sniped again!

thanks a lot. Going to do a full play through... AoE 1-3 DE. Perhaps get 4 for Xmas, if I've done enough

Haha I'm not fussed mate, it's quite funny really lol. I'm running low on funds now so I've told Trout that once the event ends and I'm paid next, I'll keep an eye on his wishlist and buy him something down the line regardless of whether the event is on or not.

As a side note, I'm playing Battle Brothers right now, and naming all my mercs that I acquire after CEmen, should make for an interesting time, I anticipate many of you will die lol.

1st post.

Really hoping for Oxygen Not included or Slime Rancher, but anything is appreciated.

Still have a GOG key for Stellaris if anyone is interested.

Battle Brothers

LMAO post pics

This has been a pretty eventful giveaway lol. Gifts are flying left and right, I can already imagine what a giveaway around the winter sale would be like. Anywho I took a break from RE Village (just beat Lady D) to play some FFX HD and none of my controllers work with it XD ah well, guess I'll have to get used to playing it on keyboard.

First official wishlist post from me. It's in my sig, but any game counts. Doesn't have to be something I wished for.

Steam is drunk again. The Cuphead + DLC bundle is more expensive than buying separately. The bundle isnt giving the current 30% discount on the base game lol.

Here you go, just started a new company, still more CEMen to add, but this is the starting bunch.

LMFAO let me know how I die.

@_@ gl CE

@troutpaste gifted me Total Annihilation

Thank you so much! I'm a massive Supreme Commander fan, and always wanted to check out the game that inspired it all. Thanks!!!

--Zero- posted...

LMFAO let me know how I die.

Well, you almost died just now. Turns out everyone hates archers, especially "wink wink" snipers haha.

Should add that Trout came in swinging with the dane axe and lopped off a head for you to keep you alive. Good stuff Trout.

Cut arm for you, gonna rest you up.

Ok we're about 100 posts in might as well make first official wishlist post. Link in sig.

I bought Telltale The Walking Dead for myself from a key site, and it was actually cheaper for me to get it as part of a bundle with 5 random premium keys

Those random 5 keys are most likely games that are under a dollar, but does anyone want one? Just let me know, Ill check back in ~30 minutes and will be prioritizing people who have received the least amount of gifts first, referencing the Google doc. Not necessarily first come first serve.

those of us who have the Remnant game, do we want to play it anytime together?

@Shake_Like_E has gifted me Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3!
Thanks a lot man, I have fond memories of Red Alert 2, so I should enjoy 3!
