This thread is not for general discussion of the exchange. Each participant who has signed up for SS2016 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/Origin 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)
  • General criteria
  • What are your favorite genres?
  • What are your favorite games?
  • Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts?
  • Will you take games not on your wishlist?
  • Any other information you think relevant?

---
 
Here's mine:

  • Steam ID:  TheMightyEthan, USA
  • Origin ID:  TheMightyEthan (apparently Origin profiles are only viewable through the Origin client), also USA
  • General criteria:  Just something that's either on my list or along those lines, or along the lines of other games I like.  I do prefer singleplayer over multiplayer as a pretty consistent rule.  I do not like JRPGs (in general, though I really enjoy the Persona games) or sports games.
  • 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, Batman: Arkham games, Dishonored, Mass Effect Series, Dragon Age Series, Halo, Gravity Rush, Red Dead Redemption, Bethesda RPGs, Civilization series, Zelda series, Mirror's Edge, Assassin's Creed, Prey 2017
  • Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts?  A PSN or Origin gift would also be great.  I have a PS3, PS4, and Vita, but if you go that route PS4 would be top pick.  I'll add a PSN wishlist later, but for the moment checking out my Darkadia (link below) would give a good idea of what I play and what I already have.
  • 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.
  • Any other information you think relevant? My wishlist is basically in order, but don't worry about it too much for games within a few slots of each other.

Steam ID/Wishlist/Country: Steam GOG

 

General criteria: Single player is preferred.

 

What are your favorite genres? Action, shooters, RPG and dumbfun.

 

What are your favorite games? Ys games, Trails in the Sky/ of Cold Steel, SotC, Mount and Blade: Warband (BANNERLORD WILL BE ON MY DEATHBED), Disgaea, Valkyria Chronicles (VC4 BABY!!!), DOOM, Earth Defense Force 4.1... Hollow Knight, NieR: Automata

 

Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts? Still expanding the GOG library. If you see something on my Steam wishlist on GOG then you can get it on GOG instead.

 

Will you take games not on your wishlist? Of course.

 

Any other information you think relevant? Open world in the Ubisoft/MGSV sense is a no go for me. EA can suck a dick.

Steam Profile:  http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198030388471

 

General Criteria:  Single player preferred.

 

Genres of choice:  JRPG, Platformer, Metroidvania, turn based strategy, Match 3 puzzlers, light action game (think Ratchet and Clank, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, Kingdom Hearts, etc.  Fun but not super hard)

 

What are my favorite games:  FF 12, Metroid Prime, Zelda Minish Cap, SMT Strange Journey, Mario Golf Toadstool Tour, Dragon Quest 4, and Jak and Daxter the Precursor Legacy, and Mario Kart.

 

Platforms:  I don't own anything more current than a Wii U, and my PC is weak.  So keep gifts to steam, and relatively low spec.  I wasn't able to run NieR Automata :(

 

Will I take games not on my wishlist?  Yes I will.

 

Any other information that should be shared:  My reflexes suck.  I beat DmC on normal and that's the hardest action game I've ever beat.  Please nothing requiring much dexterity/precision of inputs.  I can deal with hard, but it needs to be slow paced hard.  Turn based or even something methodical like Dark Souls is fine.

Steam ID and wishlist: http://steamcommunit...61197969619762/

My GOG name is MrGOH. No idea how to link to my profile or wishlist there.

 

Copied and pasted from a previous year's post. New additions are at the beginning of each list. 

General Criteria: Mostly a PC gamer these days, though I do play console games. I have little time to dedicate to gaming these days, though I still love RPGs and Grand Strategy games. But if there's a game of a different genre that you think I might like for whatever reason, I happily try new types of games.  I do not have the time to put into multiplayer games these days, and I'm not really into sports games. No racing games, please. I also prefer well-crafted games with interesting narratives, whether they're AAA or indie games. 

Favorite genres: Western RPGs and single-player strategy games are at the top, but I also enjoy shooters with good gameplay, adventure games, roguelikes (whatever that means, I suppose), roguelites, platformers, imaginative puzzle games, simulations, and stealth games. 
 

Favorite Games: Witcher 3, XCOM 2, MGSV, Final Fantasy 6, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate II, Victoria II, Warhammer: Total War, Vampire: The Masquerade, Assassin's Creed II/Brotherhood, Grand Theft Auto 4, Master of Orion 2, Knights of the Old Republic, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 2, Sim City 4, Civilization Series, Sam and Max Hit the Road, Dishonored 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, DOOM 2016, Pyre, and Telltale Adventure games.

 

Totally chill with getting stuff not on my list.

  • Steam ID:  Dean [PXOD], UK
  • Origin ID:  deanbmmv
  • GOG ID: deanbmmv
  • General criteria:  Something short-ish probably best, like in a 10-ish hours campaign. 
  • What are your favourite genres?  RPGs, action games, open world games. Apparently FPS games according to most tools I ever put my games list into. 
  • What are your favourite games? Well FFIX would be kind of obvious. Deus Ex, Dishonored, Horizon all treat me well.
  • Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts? I'm open to PS4 stuff. I think you can get codes from Amazon. I've a US account so fine with that. Can't share PSN wishlist though. As with last year also open for Android games but still not a feature.
  • Will you take games not on your wishlist? Sure. Wishlist should give a decent flavour of interests and such.
  • Any other information you think relevant? My Darkadia profile hasn't been updated in a while (the site itself hasn't had an update in a while, slowly becoming broken from API issues). Also looking to move next year, and maybe grabbing VR as part of that so I guess be cool to have a game that can pull double duty (though seems Bethesda are kicking a trend of having the VR mode as a separate game). I've also recently acquired a dinky Laptop/Transformer so something that might run off that would be cool (though it's probably never gonna happen).
