Heh its not up for me. Oh well.

Don't worry bro, you aren't alone.

 

[jaundicejuice]

Answer: Probably almost definitely not.

I am a sad panda.

 

[Salih]

BIT TRIP Runner has 3 achievements to unlock. Do i get 3 coals or just one for getting those 3?

...anyone?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

My inventory shows up, but not my steam tab.

This is a little bungled.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

first year living with the PC master race, so I jumped on Metro 2033 for $5.

wtf, seriously $5. Fuck console gaming forever.

skyrim will probably be the only game I'll have to pay full price on for a long time.

 

[Buttonbasher]

...anyone?

No one knows. Wait until it's actually active.

 

[RoadHazard]

WTF, I can see my friends' inventories just fine, but mine is just empty. This is starting to piss me off.

 

[Vamphuntr]

I got 33% off Valve titles and 25% off Activision titles. That coupon thing is disappointing as the games are actually cheaper during the holiday sales and you need to be on steam during the holidays to get them.

 

[Kifimbo]

...anyone?

We don't know yet, the BIT TRIP Runner achievements aren't among the "achievements of the day".

 

[TrumanBurbank]

I'm amazed that Steam is still struggling.

 

[NBtoaster]

Screw Activision why isn't singularity available here :\

Might just pick up Just Cause 1 and Fable 3 today.

You got robbed, it's 2,50 euros in here

Thinking about getting Singularity, Portal Pack and Orcs Must Die. But I know I won't be playing them anytime soon...

Why?

I can't believe some people honestly think Skyrim won't go on sale. Come on, GAF, step your game up.

 

[BlindCommunication]

My inventory shows up. Looks like I got Napoleon Total War Imperial Edition and -25% coupon on Valve games. Wonder if games you get gifted are picked from your wishlist, Napoleon was on mine.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

i'm holding off (already own it on ps3) but i'll pay $50 for skyrim

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Much like the first snow of winter catches everyone off guard the first day of steam sale does to valve...except they control the weather.

Portal 2 I'll get you eventually. But will I ever play you? *dated portal 1 joke meme goes here*

What's the first rule of the sale?

I'll give you that, being at 75% already, I doubt it's getting cheaper at a daily deal... but you never know...

Well given the price it is already,say it goes down to 90% off thats not much extra to have it 1-13 days early.

Oh for crying out loud, am I the only one who gets "ops sorry" when trying to access the gift pile ? I just want to know what I got gaaaaah.

Go via community and view inventory.

If I own any of the Indie games in the Awesome Indie Bundle will I get an extra copy to gift?

In the past the answer has been no.
I really don't like the way the bundles are done this time; too many games, too much overlap. I liked last years 4 game bundles plus the daily Indie game was neat.

 

[TGMIII]

My inventory shows up. Looks like I got Napoleon Total War Imperial Edition and -25% coupon on Valve games. Wonder if games you get gifted are picked from your wishlist, Napoleon was on mine.

I got 75% off napoleon and 50% off a valve game, both shit I don't want. Napoleon wasn't on my wishlist.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Why?

I can't believe some people honestly think Skyrim won't go on sale. Come on, GAF, step your game up.

Its on sale now albeit -13%...

 

[Dice]

They gave me DOTA2.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Anyone know what the game objectives for today are?

 

[Nabs]

i'm holding off (already own it on ps3) but i'll pay $50 for skyrim

It's Steamworks, so just keep your eyes open for a great deal. It'll happen.

 

[SmithnCo]

I only have 33% off Valve coupon even though I did two achievements.

 

[Card Boy]

Looks like E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy got price cut to 10bucks and is 50% off at $5. Hopefully we get a $2.50 daily

 

[Mechanized]

Does SSFIV AE have a decent sized online community? Or is it a ghost town?

 

[Revoh]

Is Portal 2 getting even a lower price or should I buy it now at 7.50$?

 

[oneils]

Anyone know if Valve ever plans to make it easier to purchase items from your wishlist? It would be great if it were similar to amazon. Check off a bunch of items from the list and then click "add to cart."

I'm surprised this is not in place. Right now it seems like you have to visit the store page of each game individually and then add them individually to your cart. Am I missing something. I know, sure, it is easy enough, but I would think even the tiniest barrier to purchasing something would be done away with.

Anyway, I'm stoked! I have about 20 games on my wishlist. I hope to see some crazy deals! Specifically - Civilization V - GOTY.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Those getting 2 items is that from 2 achievements, or from the 'free' one they give you?

 

[Scythian]

Is Portal 2 getting even a lower price or should I buy it now at 7.50$?

Considering it's already a daily deal, no.
$7.50 is a steal, buy it!

 

[TrumanBurbank]

Is Portal 2 getting even a lower price or should I buy it now at 7.50$?

Pretty sure 7.50 is as low as it will go this sale.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Got 50% off Solar 2 and 25% of any Valve game. Never heard of Solar 2, but it's half price at the moment anyway so it's kind of a non-deal.

 

[Wolfie5]

Purchased Metro for 2,50€ and Steam worked just fine on that part.

The gift thing however, I just get
"Home > Ooops
Ooops, sorry!"

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Is Portal 2 getting even a lower price or should I buy it now at 7.50$?

(assuming you mean outside the sale)Its Valve, anything could happen (see Portal 1 given away for free; twice). But 75% off should be the best deal for at least the next few months.

 

[Leon Belmont]

Any advice on Warned Bros. Complete Pack? Worth the price?

 

[Kabouter]

I got:
-33% Valve (zzz)
-60% King Arthur Franchise (and it's -60% now, amazing, so useful!)
-Dawn of War II

 

[Talyn]

I got 75% off napoleon and 50% off a valve game, both shit I don't want. Napoleon wasn't on my wishlist.

I got 25% off a Valve game and 50% off Shadowgrounds: Survivor... which I already own.
Somehow it's oddly fitting that lumps of coal are in vogue this year.

 

[Revoh]

Considering it's already a daily deal, no.
$7.50 is a steal, buy it!

Pretty sure 7.50 is as low as it will go this sale.

Me and my buddy will buy it now. Thanks

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Gift Pile page now says Maintenance. There is hope!

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Grabbed the Fable collection for $20, that's about all I'm keen on today. Although keen may be overstating things a bit.

 

[MNC]

Gather achievements for coal...

Keep coal?


Trade in coal?


CHOICES. What is everyone else doing?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Whew, finally got the dino d-day one. Had to find an empty server with one of the snow maps and just run up to a friend and let him shoot me (and vice versa) for 15 minutes. Now I can uninstall it and never play it again.

It's a great game. Why do you hate nice things?

 

[zychi]

It's Steamworks, so just keep your eyes open for a great deal. It'll happen.

I paid $50 for it about 2 weeks ago on amazon. It was on sale for a whole 15 minutes.

e: bulletstorm is 9.99 right now, but its not on the front page, how can i tell if its a daily deal? i should wait right?

what about binding of isaac and poker night for 2.49 and 3.34 respectively? any chance they go any lower?

 

[BlindCommunication]

Those getting 2 items is that from 2 achievements, or from the 'free' one they give you?

Two achievements : free one when you first log in and 2nd one for completing "check your inventory" achievement.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Its on sale now albeit -13%...

Link? I don't see that anywhere.

I am confident that it'll be discounted to $45 at the very least. $40 if Bethesda is feeling extra generous.

 

[Pirabear]

A bit confused.

Got the confirmation earlier that I indeed sent my two gifts/messages on Steam, but when I click on the "manage gifts and guess passes" button, it still gives me the "send gift" button option. Are you able to send more than one gift through a single purchase, or did Steam just screw up?

 

[inky]

There should be a way to grind useless coupons into lumps of coal, it seems more valuable than any discount they can come up with (especially when it doesn't stack with the sale and everything is already discounted). The possibility of a free game seems nice tho, even if you already own it.

 

[VindictiveGnome]

Looks like E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy got price cut to 10bucks and is 50% off at $5. Hopefully we get a $2.50 daily

I hope so! There's also a 4-pack for $14.99.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Two achievements : free one when you first log in and 2nd one for completing "check your inventory" achievement.

Oh. Only have 1 showing up :\ hmm.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Gather achievements for coal...

Keep coal?


Trade in coal?


CHOICES. What is everyone else doing?

Either, or.

Seven coals can be crafted for one present.

And it's not like anyone in their right mind is gonna store them for the give-away.

 

[shintoki]

Two things.

Seems like I only got one thing, though I have two awards completed. Just a 33% coupon.

Second, anytime I go to buy Portal 2. It kicks me back to the Home page.

 

[Dambrosi]

I got 50% off valve and 25% off City Interactive coupons. Ewwww @ CI, but thanks anyway.

Anyone want to give impressions on Bunch Of Heroes? Actually, anyone doing a four-pack?
