PC Master Race

God of War is my choice.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game I played recently that blew me away. It’s a game that is hard to talk about without spoiling the absolute shit out of it. I don’t care for westerns and I always thought, “Ok, cowboy game. Cool. Whatever.”

It’s so much bigger than that. I could write a book about why I loved it so much, but it would spoil it. I’m begging anyone who sees this and hasn’t played it. Put it next on your list. You won’t regret it.

Hey, I'd be really interested in Elden Ring :)

I'll throw my name in for Elden Ring. Cheers to you for doing this OP.

Merry Christmas! I'd like Returnal.

Persona 5 Royal

Thank you for the opportunity! I've been pleasantly surprised at the quality of games I've played this year. Finally finished Horizon Zero Dawn after it "clicked" for me, and Forbidden West is so far an improvement in almost every way. Spider-Man 2 was nearly perfect (besides using a version of a character that I guess was designed to give you more stuff to do). I bought Hogwarts Legacy for my significant other and was surprised to find how relatively complex the combat was (especially compared to the old PS2 Harry Potter games). And I finally got into Shin Megami Tensei with 4 and have had a blast.

Merry Christmas!

Interested in UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection~

The highlight of my year would be graduating from university. It was tough, but being able to graduate was a significant achievement for myself. Made me somewhat hopeful for my future.

Hey, thanks for being so generous. Happy holidays.

If I were to pick, I would like to play Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered.

I've finally decided to give Cyberpunk 2077 a shot, deciding that it has had enough time in the oven, and... yup. I'm happy to have waited all these years to play something that's a finished product, runs well, looks beautiful and is engaging and fun to play. Honestly I spend half of my time in this game just walking around the city - it's the first city in a game that feels realistic, with all the street markets, food stalls, drunk people wandering the streets at 4 am...

BG3 was overall the best game I've played this year though.

I would like Persona 5 Royal, never really had a chance to get into this series but I've heard good things!

Really nice of you to do this, thank you. I would like to put my name in the hat for Miles morales. Best of wishes to you and yours.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year! I wouldn't mind getting to try Marvel's Spider Man Remastered; I've a few friends that say it's good.

I've been a bit under the weather over the holidays, which has given me the opportunity to try some of the free games I've been accruing from Epic's giveaways. Art of Rally was pretty good. Nice art style, active development, and an interesting concept rooted in historical events.

Elden Ring. I've never really played a souls game, and it looks really great.

Not a lot of joy this year, got laid off last year and now find myself in a job where I'm making less and commuting more, but there were a couple of bright spots. I've been running a D&D game set in Mythic Greece, and it's been the best TTRPG I've run or played in years - my players have been absolutely loving it. Plus, I recently spoke to a retirement advisor and found that I'm in very good shape to retire in 10 years, and that makes me very happy.

Thanks for doing this. Happy Holidays!

Will not participate, but props to you for organising this, it is really nice 🎄

Some of the games in the giveaway are in my wishlist, I hope in the next year I will get some and play them. Best of luck to the participants and wish a great time playing, best of luck to the moderation team, too. Happy holidays

Put me in for Hogwarts. Thanks for bringing these to Lemmy and happy holidays

I'd love to be considered for Persons 5 Royal (or Returnal), please.

One thing that made me happy this year? I became a father. It's really difficult to say whether that makes me hopeful for the future. On the contrary, it makes me kind of afraid? Like ... I maybe have another 25-30 years left to live, but my child will be the in the peak of their life at that time. And I worry about what kind of world I'll be leaving them in. Everything feels more important now than it ever did...

But anyway, on a happy note, I bought 2 games at release this year and they were both quite good (Hogwarts Legacy and Elden Ring) :)

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring for Tales of Arise!

Merry Christmas and kudos for this giveaway 🎊

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered

Insomniac's made some of the greatest games I've ever played

But heck, this game is about 30% of the minimum wage here lol

Returnal

I recently played BG3 on a Steam Deck using third party wireless Joycons while walking on a treadmill. Lost close to 20lbs. If anyone else has recommendations of other top-down games that aren't camera-heavy that might be good treadmill games lmk! First and third person mess me up a bit. Was thinking of replaying Disco Elysium or finally trying to beat Hollow Knight.

I would love tales of arise!!!

Also i came out as trans and my gf family accepts me!!! So so happy about that!!!

Horizon zero dawn please and thank you!

I finally had that moment in life where I could sit back watching TV with my family and just breathe and be grateful for everyone and everything I had. Where most of the stress of day to day was lifted and I could just.... be.

Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered!

Baldur's Gate 3 is probably my game of the year, but lately I've actually been playing Fortnite with some friends and having a blast in zero build mode. The new update is great, plus you can't go wrong with some LEGO survival mode.

Thanks for doing this, you're a kind soul! Have a wonderful holiday, as well as everyone in this thread. Good luck to you all!

Hogwarts Legacy would be great!

Merry Christmas! Spider-man remastered always looks fun but the price is killer.

Hey there,

Thats Nice of you 🥰🥰,

The best things for me, don't laugh, my life isn't cool lmao, was finishing twice cyberpunk in a month, and then my first use of stable diffusion on my arch station (BTW), I almost did an coming out too :D but this one doesn't count, because its in progress.... ✊

Im applying for Persona5, I really want to give him a go, but if someone is in need prefer this someone, I can buy it after all. That's really lovely from you. 😘

I've always wanted to try God of War.

This is really nice. I would like Hogwarts Legacy

I'd like to get Hogwarts legacy for my wife.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered

It would be so cool to win a Spiderman game or that Hogwarts game!

Something that made me happy this year? We got a new dog after our last dog got sick and died right before Christmas. The most curious part? The death day and birth day are the same somehow

Happy holidays! I’d like a chance to win Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered. Still haven’t had a chance to play it and forgot it’s on PC now. Thanks!

Elden Ring, please.

Thanks for this, and Merry Christmas! Hope yours is wonderful!

Happy holidays :) put me in for elden ring, thanks!

I'll throw my hat in the ring for Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered.

Things that made me happy this year? I started a new job in Jan that has been great. Company treats it's employees like people the work is enjoyable.

Thanks for doing this and happy holidays.

Would be pretty happy with Persona 5 Royal. I played it on ps4 back before I had a good PC but I never got far because playing on console is very inconvenient for me!

As for something that made me very happy recently, they finally announced the next monster hunter game, my favourite game series of all time! AND it's finally a pc release on launch! I'm definitely upgrading my computer when that one comes around! Also I passed all my college courses that I was really worried about failing, but you know, priorities.

Definitely P5 Royal, played it for a bit on Playstation when it came out and would love to finish.

I'll try for Elden Ring.

Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Entering for horizon zero dawn :)

I'd love a chance at winning Hogwarts Legacy. Thanks for doing this generous giveway.

A friend recently recommended the Persona series, so I think I'm gonna have to go with Persona 5 Royal.

Something that made me happy this year (and gaming related) is that we finally got a remote Dungeons and Dragons group going with that friend, our significant others, and our mutual friend group. After a little hemming and hawing over how to set it up, we went with Foundry Virtual Tabletop (which we find suits our needs). It's good to be DMing for these friends and new faces again!

For a game recommendation/story, our tabletop group had been bandying around throwing in some one shots to try out some different systems and Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader came up.

I'm pretty excited to test it out and recently found that Owlcat released a Rogue Trader crpg. I've been pretty busy near the end of the calendar year, so jumping into some science fantasy lore to share with my girlfriend has been great. I'll have to talk with the guy GMing that one shot about the similarities between the crpg and the tabletop system, but we're already brainstorming characters for the one shot and beyond (if we like it).

Hope this reply finds you all cozy and enjoying the season. This giveaway is a really cool idea and good luck everyone!

This is fun! I'm in for Hogwarts Legacy! Happy holidays to all y'all filthy animals!

Elden Ring. For the story, I remember those days that you stay up with your friends doing a full run! Not much time to do that these days, but the nostalgia always kicks in this time of year. :

Happy holidays to you, this is awesome! I think Spiderman Remastered gets me the most from this list. Never had the opportunity to play it.

I’ve kind of had my eye on Returnal for a while! I’m afraid it might kick my butt, though. Thanks for the giveaway!

How about Elden Ring.

Fun thing for me this holiday was solving a puzzle for another Lemmy user. Figured out the movie they couldn't recall for years was New Friends, 1981, and they are able to share that and the online video of it I found with their sisters for the holidays. Bonus points, there's was a monetary reward that's now going to charity. Was very entertaining.

God of war, please

I've always wanted to try out Elden Ring but have been holding off on it to work through my backlog. Just finished Bully for the first time and I gotta say it was one of the best open world games Rockstar has made despite the PC jank. Everything about it was just so charming it's hard to believe conservatives lost their shit to this game just for the title of the game.

Merry Christmas to you OP!

Elden Ring please 😊

One thing that made me happy: been doing that Advent of Code and got a few answers right without relying on tuts or hints or anything. I only started studying Python again in my free time a few months ago.

That's very awesome of you kind sir/ma'am. I would be interested in #5 spiderman.

Thanks for doing this!

The game "spider man remastered" looks interesting, never tried anything like it!

Put me in for Elden Ring!

A game I've been playing recently is Bread & Fred. It has put the pure fun factor back in games for me. No competitiveness, no completionist motivation, just pure fun.

Hi, thanks for doing this! I'd love God of War 😁

I've sunk almost 500 hours in to baldurs gate 3 since it's release. Despite that, my favorite game I've played this year is probably going to be Tony Hawks Underground. I recently got hit with the nostalgia wave and have been playing THUG 1 and 2 which were major foundations of my childhood; the soundtracks are unbeatable ("Deadly Sinners" on the same playlist as "Burning Ring of Fire"? Who makes games like this anymore?) and the story and characters are the perfect level of bad.
