r/GiftofGames

Hello everyone! I hope you’re having a great day! I have been active on Reddit for a few months and I spend most of my time in communities related to videogames as well as various TV shows that I find enjoyable and entertaining. I am familiar with the rules of r/GiftofGames and I have been trying to participate more broadly in conversations rather than only browsing silently. I appreciate that this subreddit values engagement and transparency, so I wanted to take the time to write a thoughtful request instead of a short one (instead of writing my college literature essay :] ).

I would like to humbly request a copy of Dispatch by AdHoc Studio.

I first heard about Dispatch when its earlier teasers circulated among fans of choice driven games. The game quickly blew up with the first two episodes being clipped and put out on almost every social media platform. Now, admittedly, I’m stepping outside of my comfort zone when it comes to purely narrative titles that focus on character decisions and branching dialogue. What is my jam, though, are high-quality indie games in which the developers truly seem to put in the effort as well as get people hyped and sprout a large, supportive community. Adhoc Studios crushed it with this outstanding debut and I’ve wanted to be a part of it ever since the first episode was released. I waited every Wednesday during my first quarter of college to see gameplay once each dual set of episodes was released. The more I learned about it, the more interested I became. I have kept it on my wishlist for quite a while (as soon as the season finale wrapped up in early November, 2025).

What stands out to me is the format, the story, and the characters. The idea of working as a dispatcher in a world where ex-villains are now imperfect superheroes makes it feel fresh. I’ve always been a big fan of the superhero parody genre (such as Invincible). Additionally, the gameplay combines quick decision making and strategy when choosing who to send out on calls. The overall tone seems perfectly balanced between humor and sincerity rather than leaning entirely into parody, and I appreciate games that take their characters’ personality and design seriously even within a strange or chaotic setting. I also like that the dialogue system appears to give room for awkward choices and personality driven outcomes. This game just honestly looks like a natural fit for what I, and many others, enjoy.

I have watched full playthroughs from dozens of YouTubers in addition to as many developer and cast interviews I could find. The art direction has a distinct yet beautiful style and the voice cast is absolutely phenomenal. In truth, I really do enjoy slower, story focused games when I need a break from competitive or difficult titles, and this looks like the kind of experience I could sit down and have an enjoyable evening playing as a reward after my coursework for the day. Although I’ve already watched hours of gameplay footage and know much about the story and game, nothing is like actually playing it for yourself firsthand. Being able to actually choose the decisions you want as well as play the gameplay segments is much preferable as opposed to having someone else constantly commentate on it. I would love to have its glorious graphics displayed in fullscreen on my own monitor as I show it off to my dorm roommates and college friends. I’m more than ready to stop observing and start playing as Robert Robertson III myself.

As for why I cannot purchase it myself at the moment, my budget is tight due to personal expenses that take priority. I am indeed a college student, and I have adjusted my entertainment spending until things settle. I don’t want to pity-bait or anything, but I did have a close death in the family a few months ago, and that has certainly shifted my financial setting. But, I don’t want that to be the focus reason, of course. I am not in a crisis but I also do not have the extra money for non-essential purchases right now. I really wanted to put together a detailed request in case someone kind feels like gifting a game to a stranger today. I know that gifts are never guaranteed, but I would truly be overjoyed if I did receive this wonderful game.

If someone does decide to gift it to me, I will absolutely play it. I take that responsibility seriously. When I receive games from friends or from communities, I make an effort to actually put in the hours rather than leaving them on my backlog. I’ve been gifted games such as Nier: Automata and Celeste from family and friends on special holidays and have 100%ed both of those games (another hobby that I enjoy when I have the time). If I am fortunate enough to receive Dispatch, I plan to start it soon after and play through the full set of eight episodes. I can only express my deepest gratitude and sincere appreciation for you, but know that I will make clear that your kindness truly means a lot to me.

Thank you for reading a longer request. I know this community receives many posts and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to look at this one. Even if nothing comes of it, writing this helped me think more clearly about why the game interests me and why I wanted to ask. If a generous gifter considers it, I would be incredibly grateful. If not, I hope it still gives a good impression of why I want to play this incredibly narrative game and why this title in particular stands out to me.

Have a great day and thank you for maintaining a welcoming community!

Hello kind people of GOG, I'm here to humbly request the Claws of Awaji DLC for Assassin's Creed Shadows.

For years I've been wanting to try out the Assassin's Creed franchise, but never could due to me having a very low-end non-gaming laptop for a long time, however for Christmas I managed to get my hands on a gaming laptop and I was able to play some of the games: I played Unity, Origins and Shadows and completely fell in love with the perfect mixture of historical settings, stealth and action the franchise is great at providing. Shadows in particular is especially breathtaking thanks to its cutting-edge graphics that perfectly capture the beauty of Feudal Japan's natural landscapes, giving me probably the best gaming experience I've ever had not counting Unity (my personal favourite).

Unfortunately, as most AC fans here will know, it was announced some time ago that the new direction the brand has taken has lead to the decision to wind down support for Shadows, meaning that all the new content we'll be getting in the foreseeable future isn't going to be anything big, thus most likely making Claws of Awaji the only major expansion the game will ever get. I, among many others, was very unpleasantly surprised by the news since I hoped the game would get about the same amount of post-launch content as Odyssey and Valhalla and get dozens of hours of additional gameplay, however that was not the case. We also won't be seeing a similar setting in the near future since Ubisoft now wants to focus once more on the Assassins vs Templars conflict, which I'm happy about, but still it's sad to see Shadows' life be cut short not even one year after release.

To enjoy every last drop of this beautiful game before Hexe comes out I'd love to play the DLC, but due to the recent purchase of both my new gaming laptop and the games I'm on a bit of a tight budget, so I'd be incredibly thankful to anyone who would be so kind as to gift it to me.

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone.

I’ve been browsing this subreddit for a while and decided to step out of the shadows and make a request of my own. Lately I’ve been missing that kind of game that completely takes over your free time in the best way, where you log in for a bit and suddenly it’s hours later. Games like 7 Days to Die and Valheim gave me that feeling, and from everything i’ve seen, Windrose looks like it would scratch that same itch perfectly. It feels like the kind of game I could really sink into and stick with. It looks like one of those games where you don’t even notice time passing until it’s suddenly 02:00am. I’m the type of player who sticks with a game for a long time once it clicks. I like exploring everything, figuring systems out, and just getting fully immersed rather than hopping between games.

Right now i’m a bit broke (lost my job two week ago and bills running wild, sadly), so i can’t really justify buying anything new, which is why i’m posting here.

No expectations. I just thought I’d give it a try and see what happens.

If someone does decide to gift it, i can promise it won’t sit in my library untouched.

Thanks for reading either way. I appreciate the time.

Hey guys, so I am someone who was saving for Elden ring and Waiting for it go on sale for months....just waiting for the right time to buy it and on last spring sale I grabbed it but I couldn't afford the dlc, i thought I can try to save for that this year but man I have been playing elden ring so much...I am so hooked.

I love how much GOOD it feels fighting bosses man, it's been like 2 years since I touched from software game and this one hits. And I have been doing so much like this game feels endless..so many quests and bosses and you know what I am so excited for the dlc i have heard that it is an entire new game.

The dlc is the highest peak of the game, it's entirety a new location with different more hard bosses. This game is definitely one of the best games I have played i can go on and on to glaze this game.

Now why do I need this dlc so bad even tho maybe I save some money and could buy it next year or so? Because it's REALLY HARD TO WAIT THAT LONG BRO. The game is in my hands how am I supposed to wait that long 😭 ( I did wait long ass for the base game but the fans will understand what I mean lol) for the dlc.

So here I am requesting for Elden ring dlc shadow of erdtree, if anyone has any extra copy of the dlc i would be grateful if you can gift me 🥀.

Hello, my dear fellow gamers of GoG, a Romanian gamer greets you warmly. I am here to request Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition for the 4th time, technically. Last time i tried this was during the Spring Sale but i had no luck. The last time i tried, i talked about how i have followed this game and it's redemption arc over the last almost 6 years and how i foolishly tried it on PS4(at least i didn't try it on the Xbox One). I have tried it on my PC when i had a GTX 750 Ti and when i had a GTX 1060 through *ahem* "legit" sources and it did not run very well since not only the GPU was bottlenecking me. I now own a fairly decent PC with an RTX 2060 and when i tried it again when a friend came over, it ran fairly well with DLSS Quality at 1080p so i want to get it to enjoy the Night City to the maximum. I would, of course, buy it myself but being a Masters student has a lot of expenses on the projects and buying books/parts for it.

I recently played and finished a game called Replaced and i highly recommend it. It has a similar aesthetic but it's like 1980s futuristic Phoenix, Arizona and it's pixelart. Amazing game with a really cool story and vibes. That being said, this just made me want to play Cyberpunk even more after finishing this game. My hunger for Cyberpunk has not been sated after such a short game and i would love to get to do that but i understand that it's a lot to ask from strangers on the internet. Still, i am holding unto hope. I have friends who told me that it's their favourite game and i believe them since one of the other games they have in their top 5 is Mass Effect and Witcher 3. My top 2 game is Witcher 3(Gothic 2 is top 1 if anyone is curious). I absolutely adore it and was very hyped for Cyberpunk but yea, the PS4 version was not playable. Now, i know asking for the Ultimate Edition is asking a lot but i wish to experience the full game just like i did for Witcher 3.

Thank you for reading this and considering me.

P. S. I love this community and how welcoming and nice everyone is.

Hi everyone, this is my seventh attempt

I have been a fan of Resident Evil for a few years, unfortunately i cant afford it because i am a student and don’t have my own income, and buying the game with a part-time job would literally be half of my salary in my country so I decided to try one more time.

I also study biology like Luis Serra, so the scientific side of Resident Evil is even more interesting to me.

I recently finished Resident Evil 3 Remake and honestly i liked it a lot. It shows more of Raccoon City and what happened during that time from another perspective especially with other survivors like Jill. I also played Resident Evil 2 which took me many hours to finish, the most difficult game for me but my first game was Resident Evil 4 Remake also played the og and it became my favorite. I completed it multiple times and even installed mods that added more enemies. Right now i am trying complete the achievements.

Something I find really interesting about Resident Evil Requiem is how it mixes classic elements of the serie, action, horror and exploration in a way that makes the experience feel more dynamic. I especially like how resource management is still important, where deciding whether to fight an enemy or avoid it to save ammo or healing items remains a key part of the gameplay. Going from carefully managing resources with Grace to being able to face enemies more directly with Leon creates a really nice contrast. In each area there can be dangers or important resources, or even moments where you return to the same place because you forgot something and feel that tension all over again. Every decision to keep or use resources has consequences, which makes everything feel more immersive.

When i saw Resident Evil Requiem, i got really excited, especially to see Leon again. We saw him as a rookie police officer with a strong sense of justice, and now he returns to where everything started but this time with enough experience to actually make a difference. It feels like a real continuation of his development as both an agent and a person.

I would really love to play Resident Evil Requiem. The standard edition is more than enough for me, and I would be incredibly grateful if anyone could gift it to me

Thanks

Hi, I hope you're having a good day. I'm back here for my Fifth attempt at getting Cuphead so I can spend time with my brother while I recover from my ankle injury.

Two weeks ago , I suffered a grade 3 sprain at work due to an occupational accident, thank God the company is going to pay for everything related to the recovery. Due to the severity of the injury, they had to completely immobilize my ankle with a ridiculously large amount of bandages (seriously, it was so many bandages, I just stayed there watching the nurse as she put on more and more and kept putting even more bandages on my foot) and a boot. They ordered me to rest and avoid moving my foot so it doesn't get worse, so my brother offered to take care of me. These days we've been watching series and playing some single player games, passing the controller back and forth and making fun of each other every time one of us lost. I have almost no cooperative games that we both like besides fighting games, we tried playing some fighting games to do something at the same time, but I destroyed him (I am not proud of beating him, but a win is a win). He isn't a fan of fighting games, so he got completely bored of them. I had tried to get something affordable for both of us to play, but between house expenses, transportation to the hospital every time I have to do therapy (the company doesn't pay for transportation, only the therapy and medications), household costs, food, and other expenses, the truth is it became impossible for me to get anything. Asking for this was my last resort, but after running out of options, here I am. Truthfully, I wanted to do something fun with my brother while I recover, since it's going to be two long months of recovery, so we have a lot of time together ahead of us, and I wanted to take advantage of that time to do something together. We don't always get these opportunities to spend so much time; our work vacations almost never coincide. He is on vacation and I am on medical leave, so even though the injury is horrible, I saw it as an opportunity to do something together and relive those beautiful times when we were little and everything was laughter without so many problems. If I could afford it, I would get it without hesitation so we could laugh like before when there weren't so many problems involved. Honestly, I would like to relive those times when we didn't have as many worries as we do now. Spending time together again, despite the circumstances, has been quite rewarding, so I have no doubt that playing something like this together will bring back many memories and feelings. Thank you for reading my request, I would really appreciate it if you take it into account. It would really be great to be able to play again and spend time with my brother like in the old days, making the most of this time we're spending together. Honestly, if I could afford it, I would do it without hesitation because I know spending time like that is worth it, but unfortunately I can't. I hope you will consider my request. I hope you have a beautiful day and take good care of your ankles.
