REQUEST [Request][Steam] Metro 2039

• Upvotes

Heyi everyone! I am requesting today after taking a break of 2 weeks for the game Metro 2039, as I wanted to start requesting for this game when its Pre purchase windows opened. I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

This is the 4th mainline game that is set in metro series if I am right, its set in the city of post apocalyptic Moscow in the year 2039. If you guys have been following the game like I have you can tell the hype it generated after the first announcement gameplay was insane. The environment, guns and reloads, crazy new monsters, blood and gore just had me itching to play it asap.

This time we have a new protag, and this one can speak lol. In previous games Artyom was silent, we finally will have someone to talk to this time. I could have also started requesting from the release date but i think this is better because if I am lucky enough to get gifted now I would be able to play it as soon as it is available.

Things are financially difficulty for me at the moment, I manage my university expenses, tuition, rent and book by my own earnings. I was unfortunately diagnosed with atherosclerosis 6 months ago and has taken a toll on my physical health. After managing the student expenses and medication bills I am unable to afford Metro. This month I had some fun money left, because i love gaming I had to spend some of it on my hobby so I bought Stellar blade and Phantom blade zero with it. To get 2039 I have absolutely no money left and I am hoping that someone in a better place can gift me the game.

I have completed every game that I have received from the community so rest assured I will spend a lot of time in Metro too when it releases. I know gifted games here are a favor and there are a ton of requests everyday, so pls know that there are no hard feelings or expectations when not being gifted. But if someone is able to help me get this great game it would genuinely mean everything to me. And i fully plan to pay this forward to someone who is in need when I am in a better place.

REQUEST [Request] [STEAM] ULTRAKILL

• Upvotes

Hello, everyone!

I'm making this post because I'd love the chance to finally play ULTRAKILL.

I've wanted this game for a long time. I discovered its soundtrack on YouTube, and ever since then I've been listening to it while studying because it's so energetic and atmospheric. Eventually I started watching gameplay videos, and the fast-paced movement, stylish combat, and music made me fall in love with the game before I even got the chance to play it.

One of the funniest things is that after watching so many videos, I still have no idea how people consistently hit the coins with such perfect timing. I really want to learn those mechanics myself instead of just watching other people do it. I know it will probably take a lot of practice, but that's part of what makes the game so appealing to me. Improving over time and mastering the movement looks incredibly satisfying.

My friends have been recommending ULTRAKILL for a long time, and they keep telling me it's one of the best indie shooters ever made. I'd love to join them and finally experience the game myself. It would also be my first non-casual game on Steam, which would make it even more special. Being able to share those moments with friends instead of only watching videos would honestly mean a lot to me.

Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy games right now, so I'm hoping that someone might be kind enough to gift it to me. I completely understand that there are many people here making similar requests, and I don't expect anything. I simply wanted to take my chance and ask.

I know this is a big request, and there are many other people here asking for games as well. Whether or not anyone decides to gift me the game, I truly appreciate you taking the time to read my post. Your kindness and generosity toward this community are genuinely appreciated.

Thank you, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

REQUEST [Request][Ps5] 15$ for Ps Plus Extra 1 month

• Upvotes

​

Hi guys

Hope you are all doing well.

I am putting in my request for 1 month of Ps Plus Extra which is for 14.99$ so a gift card will do. I am making this request specifically for playing some games on there like Sonic x Shadow Generations, Mafia the old country (played before but through rental an year ago and now I want to play again) and other games.

I also want it so that I can share with a friend if mine as well. We enjoy playing games together and talking about said games.

I thought I'd put in a request here even if I dont get it that's fine as well.

Plenty of amazing games on the catalog as well that I want to play and still haven't played.

Recently I took out time for gaming and so I thought why not get my hands on a Extra membership and enjoy the games on there. I think All three essential/extra/premium tiers are getting very good games this year. It will be a blast to play and experience.

Also thanks for reading all this way as well :D

But yeah my main reason is to basically play and share this with my friend as well. It is a fun thing for both of us as we are gamers since childhood and love gaming so much.

That's all for my request, once again thank you if you read all this way ✨️

Thankssss!

REQUEST [REQUEST][STEAM] Onimusha: Way of the Sword ($53 USD regional) (2nd Attempt) - I parry demons perfectly. Real life, not so much.

3 Upvotes

Demon jumps at me.
I parry it perfectly.
Real life: I trip.
Twice.

Fifty three dollars.
My wallet says “seppuku,”
my heart says “please, gift.”

Musashi never begged for games,
but Musashi never saw this price.
I bow so low for this one
my back sends its own request.

No katana, no cape, no clue,
just a Steam profile and hope.
Gift me this one, friend,
I’ll play it and thank you.

Now on a serious note:

I only discovered the Onimusha saga when this game came out. I did some research and saw it’s a new entry set in the Edo era, rather than the Sengoku era the others are based in, and that it’s a sort of reboot, so it seemed like the perfect place to start. I tried the demo for 40 minutes and then stopped on purpose, because I didn’t want to see more until I could own it and play it through. I expected something like Sekiro or Ghost of Tsushima, two of my favorite games, but it surprised me with a style of its own: parries with different animations depending on the direction of the attack, block, deflect, and dodge, and a combat system that, even at first glance, looks like it can get very deep. It’s also a world that’s beautiful to walk through.

Ever since I made the first post here, Reddit has been showing me posts from the Onimusha subreddit, and every single one makes me want to play it even more. Clips of the combat, people sharing their favorite moments, some of the bosses... I had to mute it because I was going crazy over it. At first I thought the story would be a lesser part of the game and not as good, but from what I’ve been reading it seems it’s actually pretty good, and people especially praise the main character. Reading that made me even more curious, because I didn’t expect that from this kind of game, and it’s one more reason I want to see the story through to the end. People also keep praising the facial animations, especially Musashi’s expressions, and from some clips I saw, I can see why. I also read that it has plenty of replayability, with a New Game Plus and a harder difficulty that unlocks after the first playthrough. I don’t usually replay games, but I have a feeling about this one.

This would be my first gift here :). It’s an expensive game for my budget, and next year I’ll have much less time to play, so I really want to enjoy it this year.

Thank you for reading, and sorry for my English. I feel quite shy asking for such an expensive game, but I had to try :D

Injustice 1&2 Bundle on steam

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/48285/Injustice\\_Gods\\_Among\\_Us\\_Ultimate\\*Edition\\*\\_Injustice\\_2\\_Legendary\\_Edition\\_Bundle/

Hello gifters and giftees, I am here to request The Injustice 1 and 2 bundle thats on sale right now for a whopping 89 percent off, coming in at a total of about 8 bucks for two games I loved so much growing up!

I played injustice 1 on the Xbox 360 to completion multiple times, and then injustice 2 on my Xbox one years later. I absolutely love both games and honestly miss them dearly, now I dont have any consoles or access to those games since I moved to the PC life but man would I enjoy to run it back for old times sake.

Growing up my favorite comic book heroes were all DC characters and it was so fun playing this mortal combat style fighting game with some of my favorite characters, I used to main Solomon Grundy in the first game and Scarecrow in the second. Solomon Grundys ultimate was just so OP because you didnt have to connect right away, so if your opponent dodged then thete was still a chance to hit em with it and I loved that, scarecrow was just fun to play as, he had this like chain sling move akin to scorpion from mortal combat. I loved that amount of customization injustice 2 gave to your heroes and honestly id really be grateful for the opportunity to play these legendary games again

Thank you for the opportunity 🙏 I wish you all the best

REQUEST [Request] [Steam] Wardogs [Attempt 2]

1 Upvotes

Heeey GoG! I hope everyone is great!!!

The second season of Wardogs starts, and I would really like to try to play it.
Over the past week, I've been actively looking for the game. When it first came out, I was extremely skeptical of it, not only because of the developers (who had previously successfully abandoned two of their games), but also because the idea of the game itself sounded strange. But time passed, and I realized how wrong I was. I watched a lot of streams on the game, saw how everyone in it was having fun and playing as they wanted.

I like Battlefield, but after the tragic events, I have no faith in the series. I'm still playing bf6 with the new seasons, but it's far from the same fan that it was during beta (which for me was probably the most important event of that time). The game has lost its soul or something like this. Therefore, I hope that wardogs will give me at least for a while the same positive emotions as the bf did last year.

And I also want to believe that the developers will not abandon such a promising project that has already attracted a huge number of players!
I promise to do my best to help the blue team win at least one game))

Will be extremely grateful for any help! Hugs to everyone ^^

DISCUSSION [Discussion] Shoutout to u/h4t9t46l, an absolute legend in this community

51 Upvotes

I saw someone else make an appreciation post for u/h4t9t46l and I just had to chime in because this guy is an absolute legend!

He previously gifted me Outer Wilds, and I’ve been taking my time getting completely lost exploring space, reading every ship log, and soaking in the whole experience.

Then out of nowhere, without me making any post or active request, he picked Mafia: Definitive Edition right off my wishlist and randomly dropped it into my Steam library. The guy is basically the Santa of games!

His generosity means so much to me! Even though my trusty GT 1030 setup can't handle Mafia right now and I'll have to wait to dive into Tommy's story, having it sitting safely in my library for the day I upgrade means the absolute world to me.

He is genuinely one of the most selfless and down-to-earth people in this entire community. Huge respect and props to u/h4t9t46l! 👑❤

REQUEST [REQUEST] [STEAM] Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival ($27.99 USD) (4th Attempt)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! This is my 4th attempt. So I’ve been kinda obsessed with Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival since it was announced. I’m a huge fan of horror in general but Hellraiser has always had a very special place for me because of how different it is from most of the horror media. The whole cosmic idea of the Cenobites, Leviathan, the Lament Configuration, and the twisted idea of pleasure and pain cycle mixed with Clive Barker’s whole style of horror is something I’ve always found incredibly fascinating.

I actually got into Hellraiser when I was pretty young (which I probably shouldn't have lol) and watched the whole series. Yes even the really bad ones lmao. I love Barker's work and the way he creates these bizarre, surreal and almost dreamlike worlds where something can be horrifying and beautiful at the same time. Hellraiser always felt like one of the best examples of that. There’s something about the imagery of the Cenobites and the whole mythology surrounding them that just stuck with me. Pinhead is obviously iconic, but what always interested me more was the entire world around him and how strange and unknowable it can feel.

So when I heard that there was finally going to be a new Hellraiser game made with Clive Barker’s involvement, I got really excited. Hellraiser is pretty unfortunate in terms of game department and this one feels like someone is trying to make a proper Hellraiser experience rather than just putting the characters into another horror game. From everything they’ve shown so far, the atmosphere looks absolutely incredible and the fact that we’re getting a new story in this universe with Clive Barker involved makes me really curious to see what they do with it. Especially this one is not going to be those carbon copy Dead by Daylight clones people keep pumping for every horror franchise but actually a story-based single-player Hellraiser game! I also really love horror games that let you actually immerse yourself into their world instead of just being a series of jumpscares. Games like Alan Wake, Silent Hill, Soma and Resident Evil are some of my favorites because I love when horror has an actual atmosphere and a world that makes you want to keep exploring. Hellraiser feels like it could fit perfectly into that kind of experience. At least it feels like they are aiming for that.

And honestly, I just really want to experience a Hellraiser game like this myself. I’ve spent a lot of time watching the movies, reading about the lore and the comics and falling down random Hellraiser rabbit holes over the years, so being able to actually step into that world and experience a new story in it would be incredibly cool. There’s something really special about finally getting to play something based on a series you’ve been a fan of for a long time.

Sadly, buying the game is a bit tricky for me right now. I unfortunately live in Turkey where the economy is in shambles and our currency is horrendous. Everything is incredibly expensive and I’ve been trying to save money because I'm gonna have to move pretty soon. Even though this game might not be a huge amount of money for most people, with the way everything has been for me right now, it’s hard to justify spending that kind of money on a game.

So yeah, I would LOVE to finally be able to play a Hellraiser game that actually feels like the Hellraiser I’ve always loved. If someone is willing to help me, I’d be beyond grateful. It would genuinely mean a lot to me and I’d definitely make sure to enjoy every horrifying second of it.

Thank you everyone for reading it thus far, and thank you to this amazing community for always being as generous as it is to me and to everyone else.

REQUEST [REQUEST] [STEAM] Stranded Deep : Attempt 1

4 Upvotes

So this is my first attempt of requesting for Stranded Depo, and probably my only one, I don’t want to flood post with my attempts and look greedy.

Stranded Deep, I really want this game and would play daily is because of the creativity it can offer, I mean I have no other game to play right now. Games are getting repetitive.

I honestly really wanted to play Stranded Deep because of course it’s on a good sale, but since I recently watched Send Help, which I enjoyed and this game really makes me remember it.

Secondly, I love games that implement multiple aspects of different variations of survival and sandbox games. I would really enjoy being able to hunt, chop down trees, all waiting for the sun to dim. You also get hundreds of crafting recipes slowly building an empire.

I love open world survival and having to survive against life threatening challenges that you get hit with left right and center.

I also requested this because it is on sale, I only ever purchase games when they are on SALE, I feel that it saves so much money and although some sales might not seem much, slowly chipping away those full prices are so meaningful to me.

Stranded Deep will honestly brighten my entire week since it’s off this week, quite gloomy.

So yeah, that is my request, I will be so SO SO grateful if someone actually gifts me it and I will make the longest appreciation post as i would never have expected it.

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

REQUEST [Request][GOG] GWENT: Yennefer's Journey - Premium Pass (1st try) 9,99$

3 Upvotes

Hi!
I'd like to ask for GWENT: Yennefer's Journey - Premium Pass as a gift.
I've read all the books, watched (so far) 3 seasons of the show, played the second game, and beaten Thronebreaker twice. And I play Gwent literally every day (I have 5050 hours in it)!
I would buy the journey myself, but I can't do that because I live in Russia, and purchases from here are impossible, however I can receive gifts.

By the way, my favorite game mode is Arena (or Draw), out of seasonal modes is Patience is a virtue, where every turn your cards transform into cards with 1 more provision cost (I made a very strong and convenient Syndicate deck!) and in ranked mode my favorite deck at the moment is Lippy, echoe cards and fallen flaminica.

I play Gwent daily on the laptop and my mobile phone. It let's me constantly remember Witcher 3, wich I played for 300 hours. I like the current state of Gwent (it's a shame the develolers don't give us new cards, though. But maybe Witcher 4 will change their mind), but I miss the open beta test version too (especially the old Arena, where you had to choose every card and not a stack of three cards, like now). Also seasonal Arena modes were great, I remember how during only Monster cards Arena event I had a bunch of Whispess in my deck. I don't remember it's old ability, but it was super fun.

REQUEST [Request] [Steam] Gears of War: E Day (Attempt 3)

4 Upvotes

Hey Everyone,
I hope you all are having a good time. I am here again with my request for steam gift card of INR 2000 to purchase Gears of War: E day.

Why I want this game? It is very crazy but I sometimes dream of world ending and me surviving it and travelling the world with friends. If the world ended because of zombies or monsters, I would love the job of smashing them. Let me be real, I have never touched a gun in my whole life and honestly I would dislocate my shoulder on the first try but I have watched enough movies to know three things . Keep my distance, don't split up and Never say "I will see you later".

I also have already sorted my plan. Have you watched the anime "Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead". Well I want to have my adventures pretty much in same style. I have a big list of places I want to visit and people I want to meet. so the apocalypse is basically a very aggressive travel itinerary. Also my Dominic lives in another city so I am pretty much obliged to save him, can't let zombies have my bro. He also drives better than me, can't visit many places with my speed. My other friends and civilians also need rescuing. Can't wait to make my entry on a sports bike with Bazooka. I know Gears doesn’t have sports bikes, but I’m hoping E-Day’s devs are open to feedback. My ear needs to hear those dramatic lines "Here comes our saviour". Call it fate but reddit assigned me name "Dramatic Bass".

Now since my delusional fantasies can't be fulfilled in real life 🤪 (if we are being real, humanity's monster would put those zombies to same but can't do anything to them), This game has that world where I can live it. Why do I not deserve to be rescued by a pretty lady sometimes. After all heroes also need help and someone to date. Maybe she’ll find me hiding behind a wall, shouting “I’m tactically waiting!”

So if you’re feeling generous, steam gift card is a small price to pay to fund a future saviour of the world (and of Dominic). I promise to make the most dramatic entry any apocalypse has ever seen. Thank you for reading my awful attempt at sarcasm.

I'm a big fan of roguelikes, so this game caught my attention immediately. I've always enjoyed the feeling of starting a run, experimenting with different strategies and slowly figuring out what works best. The idea of doing all that with blackjack sounds pretty fun, I'm curious to see how chaotic the game gets once I get further into it. Knowing me, I'll probably spend way too much time trying to make a strategy work when I should've given up on it ages ago lol.

Thanks again for the game and for your generosity. I really appreciate it!
