I have acquired some game keys from Humble for games that I already own. If you haven’t heard about Humble Bundle, you should check them out here! https://www.humblebundle.com/bundles/

I would like to give the keys away here. I will do them consecutively so you can try for the ones you want or skip.

Please only participate in the giveaway if you really want the game (or would like to give it to someone who does).

Concluded giveaways…

~~1. Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition~~

Current giveaway...

  1. Batman: Arkham City - Game of the Year Edition

Future giveaways...

  1. Batman: Arkham Knight Premium Edition
  2. Batman: Arkham Origins
  3. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor GOTY
  4. Middle-Earth: Shadow of War Definitive Edition

Here are the rules:

  • The giveaway will be for ~~3~~ 2 days (ending approximately the same time of day as started).
  • Top-level comments will be your entry. Feel free to reply to top level and start a discussion.
  • Each entry comment should include some sort of genuine reply. Why you want this game, your favorite game, game series, games character, etc. Does not necessarily need to be related to the giveaway game.
  • Please, only enter if you want the game!
  • You can top level comment even if you do not want to enter. Just note in the comment somehow that you DO NOT want to enter.
  • At the end of the two days, a random lemming will be chosen.
  • Key will be sent with secure messenger (Element, Signal), or email if preferred. Not over lemmy messages.

NOTE: I am in North America; I do not know if this means the keys will/will not work in other regions.

Thanks to the mod for allowing this giveaway.

Spread the word and lets get more people participating!

It's nice of you to do these.

I played Arkham Asylum, which I think was the first in the series. I haven't finished it, but it was pretty fun. It did seem like a reasonably good representation of the Bat's style. Is one of the series generally considered the best? This one (Arkham City) looks rather different that the one I played.

City improves on a lot of the batman mechanics and the variety of enemies goes up. I think it's the better of the two.

However, it is a very different game, moving from a metroidvania inspired small locale to a big open world. If you don't like traversing/exploring open worlds you might find it to be a downgrade. If you do, it's a blast and moving around the city is an absolute joy.

I'm mostly through Spider-Man (not the newest one) and traveling the city is my favorite part of the game! In the old PS2 Spiderman it was the same.

I'd love to check out one of the Batman games. I've heard the fighting mechanics are solid.

I would love a batman game. I have never played batman on any device ever and I hope it runs on my steam deck! I hope it will work in europe XD

[–] orntar@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I am pretty sure it would work, but I wanted to nate it just in case.

[–] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I've played all the Batman games so I can't enter in good faith, but thanks for doing this and good luck to those who wish to win!

I'll try to join for the Middle Earth games if I spot them in the future giveaways.

[–] orntar@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Changed it back to 2 days duration as interest is waning. Just a few hours left!

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Either of the middle earth games would be lovely. I had battle for middle earth years ago.

[–] orntar@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be clear, this giveaway is for Batman: Arkham City - Game of the Year Edition. Middle earth games will be later. Do you want to enter this one?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thanks, I'm good on this one. I already have the batman games

I'll keep an eye out for the middle earth ones to enter those

I played the first two, but not Arkham Knight.

I've heard a lot of good thing about the batmobile addition in it and would love to use this opportunity to test it out :)

Never touched the "shadow of..." license but heard a lot of good as well. Curious to try them out as well (even if batman probably more my thing).

[–] TheOneCurly@lemmy.theonecurly.page 3 points 1 year ago

I put a decent amount of time into shadow of mordor but didn't finish the story. The combat is fun and dynamic, there's lots of vertical traversal, assaulting strongholds is pretty cool. The nemesis system is silly but fun, it adds a lot of personality.

Giveaway over! I will be contacting the winner shortly.
