Video Games Giveaways and Trades aka "Give People Free Shit"

General gifting thread?

Oh well then. Can somebody gift me a '72 Porsche Carrera RS 2.7? A '74 RS 3.0 would be alright too.
And I, um, can gift you something too. In Steam, preferably.

[Shad]

Would anybody gift me the Grand Theft Auto Complete Pack? All the games for 10€. I want them.

[BruceWillis]

GOD daisies IT.

No, really. Sorry, guys and gals, but GOD daisies IT.

What the hell is this?
First we exchange gifts with YCobb, he gifts me Max Payne Bundle, and the next day it goes on a 66% sale!
Then we exchange gifts with Zorinth, I get GTA Classic Pack, and now ALL THE GODDAMN GTAS go on 66% off sale?!

RRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAGEEEEEEE

[Shad]

Haha yeah Steam is pretty good at trolling people

[BruceWillis]

Yeah, and here I thought I was untrollable.

Still.

Can anybody tell me, what's the difference between GTAIV and Episodes (standalone) and GTAIV Complete Edition?
I mean, if you buy the IV and EFLC separately, you get two standalone games. And episodes have mostly the same content (map, sounds) with little to no differences, so it's a waste of disk space. So, is the Complete Edition like a single game with episodes as added content, or is it just a bundle of IV+EFLC (both standalone)?

[Shad]

I believe Complete Edition is a single game, as in GTA IV + the two DLC stories together in one launcher.

you don't know true rage until you buy a game for $20 and then it goes on sale for $6 for two days, then $11 for two weeks after that

fuckin summer sales, man.

[Shad]

Why would you buy a game just before summer sales

[impmon08]

i am a very dumb person.

i dunno this was a year or two ago and honestly I didn't even know they would have a summer sale.

[Zorinth]

Could anyone gift me Bastion. I might not be able to pay back, depends on how my parents make me use the cheddar I make while I am working. So if you were to gift it to me it would be a gift, though I will attempt to pay you back.

[KevTehNev]

Would someone like to gift me the Back To the Future game while it's $10 I have a copy of Sonic 3 & Knuckles if you'd want it but I know that's only worth $5.

[BruceWillis]

This just keeps getting better.

I remember mentioning that I wanted the last DLC for Fallout NV. I already own the game and three of the four DLCs, but didn't get the chance to purchase LR because Bethesda suddenly blocked their games in my region.

So... monsieur impmon08 gets his desired Saints Row 2, and I get my desired DLC, and then it turns out that the FNV that I have is a special language-restricted version, is technically a different Steam application, so the gift cannot be unpacked because I "do not own the needed application for this DLC".

Steam is immensely successful at trolling people, indeed.

[Will-Billy]

call em up. They are supposedly very nice when things like this happen.

[Fatehehhhh]

We might as well make this the general Gifting thread than just Steam exclusive

Fixified.

[D-vid]

Halloween sale and I'm feeling a bit generous.
1 game for $5 or multiple that add up to $5 to the first who asks for it.
