P4: Gritty Reboot Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Alrighty, sign-ups are winding down and we're at 23 participants! Awesome turnout, really excited for this year. This thread is not for general discussion of the exchange. Each participant who has signed up for SS2013 should post one time in this thread letting their Santa know what kind of games they like, whether they prefer Steam or another service or digital gift, that sort of thing. Do not post again if you think of more; edit your original post. The more detail you give, the more likely you are to receive something you want. That said, your own style is fine--you could just do a short list of a few things you've been eyeing or else you could be as detailed as you want.This is not a replacement for Steam wishlists--use those as well. This thread is to give a little more background about your wants and why you may want them. My Wishlist post will be right here in the top post to give you an idea of what we're looking for.Including a link to your Steam account and wishlist would be a good idea as well. Here is a template to get you started: Steam ID/Wishlist/Country (in case of regional restrictions) Background General criteria What are your favorite genres? What are your favorite games? Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts? ---P4's Christmas WishlistSteam ID: P4warriorWishlistCountry: USA! Hoorah! Last year I mentioned starting to move away from digital games toward tabletop games, and that trend has continued. However I still enjoy vegging out once in a while with a good video game. The only new games that really captured my attention for more than a few hours this year were X-Com and Serious Sam 3. Ideally I'm looking for games that I can jump into and out of without much fuss, or possibly some kid-friendly games I can enjoy with my 3- and 5-year-old boys. Favorite genres are shooters and various other stuff like RPGs and indie games. Favorite games evar are the Half-Life and Portal series, Chrono Trigger, SWKOTOR, and more.

Waldorf and Statler Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Steam ID: StarkWinterLager (http://steamcommunity.com/id/starkwinterlager/wishlist) PSN: StarkWinterLager Country: U! S! A! U! S! A! But during the winter vacation I'll be in South America. Shouldn't be an issue in Steam. Favorite Genre: RPG's. Specifically heavily story based ones. I prefer those with party interaction and/or romance added. But those tend to fall for heavy story based ones. I have no preference whether it's western or japanese, but japanese tend to have the story based aspect down. What are your favorite games?: Persona 4 Golden, Fire Emblem Awakening, Witcher II, Mass Effect series, KOTOR series, Jade Empire. You thought I was kidding about the rpgs? Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts?: Not really. Right now I don't have that many games in my Steam Wishlist but the ones I have there (especially the first two) have gone on sale basically everytime. If by the start of the steam sale they haven't reached the recommended price I'll add more games, but those in there are basically the games I'm interested in right now. Regardless I'll add a couple of cheaper games after Finals in case my secret santa can't afford the $7-10 bucks these games tend to cost in sales. Will I take games not in my list?: Yes I will. If you know of a game that fits the criteria of my preferred genre and/or is similar to one of the games in my favorite games mini-list, then be my guest. If the game came out in 360 though and it's not a terribly recent game, chances are I already played it though. Like I said I'll try to add more games to my list sometime this upcoming weekend as I'm currently busy with finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Steam ID: TheMightyEthan, USA General criteria: Just something that's either on my list or along those lines, or along the lines of other games I like. *Edit* - I do prefer singleplayer over multiplayer as a pretty consistent rule. What are your favorite genres? Probably action/adventure games, but I play pretty much everything. What are your favorite games? In no particular order: Shadow of the Colossus, Assassin's Creed series, Batman: Arkham games, Dishonored, Mass Effect Series, Dragon Age: Origins, Halo, Gravity Rush, Red Dead Redemption Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts? Not especially, but I'm not married to Steam either. Will you take games not on your wishlist? Yeah, if you really think I'll like it then go ahead, just should probably check my Darkadia account to make sure I haven't already played it on another platform.

Luftwaffles Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 SteamID: Luftwaffles USA USA USA! General Criteria: While I'm usually into flight sims/Arma when I have a desktop, right now I'm stuck on a Macbook Pro for gaming, so I'm down for pretty much whatever. Mac compatible is not mandated, though, I have a rather dusty dual boot going on that works alright. What are your favorite genres? Usually sims, RTS, and sports. I like indie games that aren't platformers usually. What are your favorite games? Arma, DCS World, whatever the newest FIFA is at the time, Red Dead Redemption, EVE Online, Starcraft II, Wargame: European Escalation, Rise of Nations, Fallout 3. Counter-Strike anything, Dirt 3, VVVVV. There's a lot more, that's kind of a hodge-podge list... What are your least favorite games? This isn't on the list, but I'm adding it anyway because it's usually pretty representative. Braid, Fez, Train Simulators, anything else made by Jonathan Blow or Phil Fish. Are you looking for any non-steam gifts? Sure, why not. PSN codes are good, but I only have a PS3. Will you take games not on your wishlist? Definitely. I keep meaning to update it, but I'm sure there's still things I've missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Steam ID/Wishlist/Country: MaliciousH, of 'Merica General criteria: I actually tends towards indie games now as seen by my wishlist but honestly, any game can do. What are your favorite genres? RPGs, FPS, Arcade-y games, Action. Sandbox. Weird. Fabulous. Princess. What are your favorite games? FF Tactics, Disgaea, Shadow of the Colossus, Earth Defense Force 2017, Doom, Ys Series, Rising Storm, Minecraft Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts? 3DS games cost a ton so none of that... I guess you're stuck with PC. The game doesn't have to activate on Steam though. In short... ANYTHING GOES. HEAVEN OR HELL, LETS ROCK!

Waldorf and Statler Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 ^ I started the Ys series with the Vita one, just finished it. 2/3 games right now on my Steam List are Ys games lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Mr. GOH!'s Christmas WishlistCountry: USA Favorite Genres: RPGs, strategy games, in-depth sims of cities/states/large-scale organizations (i.e., not farms or trains sims), adventure games, games with really strong story elements (Whether scripted or emergent), action games Favorite Games: Baldur's Gate 2, Dwarf Fortress, The Walking Dead (Telltale), GTA San Andreas and GTA V, Fallout, Fallout New Vegas, Final Fantasy VI, Planescape: Torment, Assassin's Creed (2, Brotherhood, 3 and 4 all equally), Deus Ex, Crusader Kings 2, Victoria 2, Final Fantasy Tactics, Ogre Battle, SimCity 4, Civilization V, Dragon Age: Origins (PC version only), and the Total War Series. I will take non-steam games, especially GOG games. I will update my wishlist there and post it in this thread. I was an execrable Mac user in the 90's and missed some of the early PC gaming greats. I will accept games not on my wish list for sure. Am in the process of updating it with more affordable games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Steam ID: FLD PSN ID: Toxicitizen Country: Glorious Canada What are your favorite genres: A little bit of everything, really. Main ones would be Stealth/Action, RPGs (J or W) and Strategy (turn-based being my favorite kind, especially when they overlap with RPGs) What are your favorite games: Deus Ex, XCOM, Thief, Metal Gear, Uncharted, Final Fantasy, Disgaea, Valkyria Chronicles, Persona, etc... Like I said, varied. I keep my Steam wishlist pretty up to date and (mostly) in order of preference, so you don't have to look too hard. Looking at it right now, the games at the top are a bit pricey. It's not as bad as it looks since most of them have been pretty heavily discounted in the past, so they'll definitely get significant discounts once the sale starts. But still, I'll make sure to add a few more cheaper ones soon. Of course, if it turns out there's nothing on it that fits within your price range, then by all means get me whatever you think I might enjoy. Also, if for some reason Steam isn't ideal for you, I'd be totally cool with some PSN credit. Gotta get more games for that Vita!

Chronixal Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Steam ID: Chronixal UK PSN ID: Chronixal What are your favorite genres? Platformer, RPG, Shmup, FPS What are your favorite games? FFVII, Sonic 2, Hyperdimension Neptunia, Killzone, Dead or Alive Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts? If the gifter is able to obtain and send a £10 UK PSN voucher, that would be appreciated and would take precedence over anything on Steam. Will you take games not on your wishlist? No. Am not a huge PC gamer by nature and currently using an under-powered laptop so anything new or particularly fancy will not play nice.

Baconrath Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Steam ID Baconrath [Wishlist] Country: USA (midwest) General criteria I'd like get more single player games 'cause often I need a break from multiplayer cause I'm tired and/or my sketchy internet makes everyone bulletproof (*cough* SMNC). Some strategy games would be nice, too. Variety is nice. : ) What are your favorite genres? I like a little bit of everything: RPGs, action, strategy, schmups (but not bullet hell), platformers... What are your favorite games? TF2, Fallout New Vegas & Skyrim (when they aren't crashing), FF Tactics, Gotham City Impostors (except that damn dlc electro gun), Steambot Chronicles, Age of Empires II, LEGO games, Chivalry,... This being my first secret santa I'm not sure how much the stuff on my wishlist will be going for so I'll totes do some rejiggering. It should still be ordered by relevance, though. I don't expect you to buy, say, X Rebirth 'cause its like $50 (and I've heard it's a bit broken) but if you have played any of the older titles in the X series (that's cheaper) then feel free to go with one of those. <3 Edited December 10, 2013 by Baconrath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Steam ID/Wishlist/Country: Deanbmmv/Wishlist/UK Background: Well I was raised on a large army garrison... Errm. I dunno what to actually seriously put here (seems everyone else skipped it) General criteria: What are your favorite genres? I'm a fan of RPGs, open world stuff, and economy sims. Looking over my games played and such it'd seem I subconsciously like shooter games too. TBS games too, and other "slow moving" games. I'm not the fastest at reacting. What are your favorite games? Well FFIX is my go to. I'm also currently on track to rack up 300+hrs in Skyrim. What games aren't you keen on? Platformers tend to do very little for me. I'm a fan of arcade racers on console local MP but other than that not a huge racer fan. Horror games are a big no-no too. Also I guess can skip the MP stuff. I used to be a heavy player of TF2 with the PXOD guys, but work hours and timezones mean I don't do much MP these days. Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts? Eh, I'm fine with Steam, though I've found myself playing Android titles a chunk past few months but not sure if there's 1) a gifting method 2)any major factor in which games I enjoy (actually Dots, Clash of Heroes and Doctor Who Legacy all have the "arrange coloured objects to win" factor in common I guess). Non-wishlist games? There's a massive amount of games on Steam now to be sifting through them all (and terrible categories) so I'm quite open to non-wishlist games if my Secret Santa reckons they've a good grasp on what kind of games I might enjoy. Though I will be scouring through the Steam storefront to find things to add since at the moment it's not overly bulked up. (In fact I'm gonna scour your lots wishlists for ideas) I'd strongly suggest hitting up my Darkadia, nice way to look at the kind of games I own/play/eventually complete.

Saturnine Tenshi Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Steam ID/Wishlist/Country: & Elven Ampersands & | Wishlist | Canada Background: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. General Criteria: While I'd prefer a well-spun tale filled with charming characters, it's only a preference and not a necessity. Sometimes fun is fun. I don't really like "games strictly as art" titles, and most indie platformers leave a very bad taste in my mouth. That considered, feel free to get me something that isn't on my wishlist if you think I'll enjoy it. I don't want Hate Plus. Don't. Just don't. What are your favorite genres? A bit of everything, but mainly RPGs (both "western" and "eastern"). I've a lasting interest in isometric CRPGs, though—a la Baldur's Gate. What are your favorite games? Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, The Witcher, Atelier, Ar Tonelico, Saints Row, Nier, Suikoden, Shadow Hearts, Counter-Strike, FF6, Xenogears, Clannad, Mark of the Ninja, Dishonored Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts? Only if you find some great deal or it isn't available on Steam. Update: If you want to get me something that isn't a game, I'd love some gems (the microtransaction currency for Guild Wars 2). You can just send me the code. Edited December 13, 2013 by Saturnine Tenshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Steam ID/Wishlist/Country: SteamID // Steam Wishlist // UK Background: Currently an off-cream paint, although that depends on where I'm sitting. General criteria: Single player is key for me. I rarely play multiplayer, and when I do it's not on PC. I'm also not a massive fan of games that, that being said, if its on my Steam Wishlist, I'll be happy. What are your favorite genres? RPG, Platformers (no endless runners), although in all honesty, I'm open to anything. What are your favorite games? The Witcher 2, Gunpoint, KoToR Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts? I've got a few things on iTunes that I'd like to play, but I'd prefer a Steam gift in all honesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 um, k.. Steam ID/Wishlist/Country (in case of regional restrictions) staySICK / My Wishlist (steam) / USA Background: my blood hurts. General criteria Single player is good, my schedule makes arranging and making time to meet people online a major pita, unfortunately. What are your favorite genres? stealth, rpg, shooters (shumps, rails, fps, tps, etc), exploration, a little bit of everything... What are your favorite games? Metal Gear Solid, MGS3, Fallout 3, Dragon Age Origins, Assassin's Creed I/II, Portal, TTG's TWD, Borderlands Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts? My PSN account is staySICK (go figure), if you are willing to try out the amazon psn code thing I'm all right with that, one could purchase the code and DM me here. Almost any PSN game I'm okay with. I already have Castle Crashers, Fat Princess, Journey, Hotline Miami, very few others. My trophy list can provide a good indication. If I had a PSN wishlist it would be: Flower, any of the pixeljunk games, TWD 400 Days I don't have yet, but I have Season 1 on PS3, any download releases you feel I missed out on. I imagine overall steam will provide the best deals though. Non wishlist games: I've been told I've missed out on a lot of "must have played" older games like the original fallouts, system shock 2, etc, so if there's a retro game not in my library, feel free. I'm also open to trying out any game almost, so if there's an indie title you think I'd like or just feel like everyone needs to play, feel free.

My Apple ID is Fernandosolano1234@gmail.com. And as for PSN, I really have no idea what I want off it. Id have to look. I have a PS3, PS4 and Vita, so yeah. Will you take games not on your wishlist?
