2011 Steam Holiday Sale DEAD!

[Aikouka]

I bought EDGE mostly for the achievement. :$ It's actually one of the more difficult achievements, I had to look up walkthroughs on how to get it.

I've got EDGE on iOS already... might as well get proper gaming coverage, right, right!?

Found this in another site. It's a list of all the holiday gifts you can get for the daily achievements. If it's legit, then, pretty nice

I caved on Orcs Must Die. Probably get to it in 2013.

I bought it during the Autumn sale and was afraid it would just sit in my backlog, but ended up making myself launch it and its really easy to pick up and play. Good game for when you dont want to get deep into one of your bigger campaigns and just want something short and simple to play. (but beware it does get addicting!)

So, are you supposed to get a Valve coupon for going to the Great Gift Pile page and then a "gift" for looking at your inventory?

 

[maniacalpha1-1]

So, I completed Deck the Halls in Orcs Must Die, how long it take for the gift or coal to show up?

Also, I hadn't planned on starting playing this game for a while, damn you steam, it's addictive.

Holy shit. I just won Dota 2.

You jelly? :awe:

 

[maniacalpha1-1]

Beta access to it, or get to wait lol? And how many achievements did you complete?

I've got 3 so far, but one of them apparently isn't showing up yet :\

I'm also not sure what to do for the Bunch of Heros achievement. I survived up to level 20 in the santa map (was playing online) but never got an achievement for it. What gives?

WTF!?

The orcs must die achievement must be bugged then. But I don't have the other games.

BTW, if you happen to already have a game and the required achievement from before, do you automatically get it?

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Man, got the Witcher, should be pretty fun.

Debating if I should get the witcher and portal 2.

 

[Barfo]

You jelly? :awe:

Hell yeah.

There is an issue with missing items in the inventory. Valve is working on it.

no, you just won a hardware survey, haha

I have Portal, HL2, and 33% off a Valve game. Not sure where Portal and HL2 came from. HL2 might have come from the Orange box as I already had it? Prtal was a freebie I think from way back? or were these added today?

I did the Orcs Must Die contest thingy.

 

[astrosfan315]

I won a copy of Shadowgrounds: Survivor. Too bad I already own it

 

[zinfamous]

I don't get this.

I clicked on inventory--saying I should have a gift, then get a gift for clicking on inventory.

nothing in inventory. should be 2 gifts, right? nothing

do the Orcs Must Die challenge. get a gift (says 2 now, but only see 1): 33% off valve game. OK


do the Anomaly Warzone Earth challenge. now I have 3 gifts. still see only one, yet I now have a tab for Portal 2 items in my inventory (next to Team Fortress 2 item tab).

I don't own Portal 2, didn't have that tab in my inventory 5 minutes ago, but no Portal 2 in my library or in my gift list.

....does this mean they just gave me Portal 2, but I don't see it, yet?

:hmm:

...and shouldn't I have 4 gifts?

You're not the only one. I should have two more prizes in my inventory that aren't there for some reason. (Actually, I have THREE because I should've gotten that Bunch of Heroes achievement, but I didn't.)

Fine. It's Dota 2 all the same.

maybe we are supposed to have those lumps of coal? :\

not sure why I now have a tab for Portal 2 items, though. did they just give me access to portal 2 items, but no game? lol.


probably lots of lag with servers, or something.

Hating the new way of showing daily deals on store main page btw, hard to tell what they are unless you recognize characters or themes from each game.

Yup, nothing pops up when you hover over them either. You have to click on each one, HUGE pain in the ass. How did they screw up a system that has worked so well for years?

 

[Cyco]

I thought I was in the clear for today, I already had the games I wanted that had a deal, but then I saw Fable - The Lost Chapters for 3 bucks and had to get it. Resistance is futile. Thank you Steam, may I have another?

 

[Rifter]

kinda a let down but i guess its only day one.

 

[FalconHorse]

I got the Overlord Complete Pack for free (I haven't done any achievements). Never heard of this game. Looks exceptionally meh.

Sigh, buying Metro and probably the Portal Bundle and maybe gifting Amnesia. You win this round Steam, you win this round. Oh and the Orc game. My money.....

 

[Cyco]

Yeah, the Orcs challenge hasn't resulted in anything for me either....c'mon Steam!

The Overlord games are actually quite fun. They are like Pikmin if you ever played that series on the Gamecube.
