I am starting STEAM now cause i just got home from works.

oh noooes

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I spend my entirety completing achievements during Summer. I didn't win jackshit. Never again, Valve. Never again!

 

[Tomodachi]

I think coupons are all about making cheap christmas gifts to you friends. Too bad I'm forever alone not many of my friends use Steam on a regular basis

 

[catabarez]

Okay, I'm confused. After I click get started am I supposed to start out with a free gift and then when I check my inventory I get another one? If that's the case it isn't working for me D:

 

[pfkas]

Has anyone managed to do the Bunch of Heroes achievement? Seems hard to me, and that's playing it on easy. Any way to regenerate health?

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

What are the chances Counter-Strike GO comes out before March 1?

I have a feeling CS:GO is going to be a free to play title.

I think coupons are all about making cheap christmas gifts to you friends. Too bad I'm forever alone not many of my friends use Steam on a regular basis

Cheap christmas gifts we can only buy between jan 2nd and march 1st 2012?

 

[Fl1pp13]

Fallout Collection, -25% Ubisoft and -25% Valve for me

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

What are the chances Counter-Strike GO comes out before March 1?

High, actually.

 

[chixdiggit]

Well I can at least see two of three gifts now. A copy of Portal 2 and a 50% off Airline Tycoon 2 coupon. I am hoping my third gift is a DOTA 2 Beta invite.

 

[Exile550]

I want to use my 25% off coupon on portal 2 but I don't know how to proceed. Can I do it today even if its a daily deal?

EDIT: ok, nevermind.

 

[Snuggles]

You cannot use them during the sale. Only after the sale.

Oh. Nevermind then!

 

[PaulLFC]

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.

Not sure about the second one, but for the first problem, it'll just be Steam's servers acting strange, you'll get the coupon eventually. I was only seeing one of the two initial coupons you get for a while, eventually the second one appeared in my inventory.

Just earned one from an achievement, but I can't view what it is because the inventory won't load!

Didn't realise E.Y.E. had been discounted to £2.50, that's a good price. Wishlisted it and I'll see if it gets a daily, if not, I'll buy it at £2.50.

Time to play the demo of Cargo to see if it's worth a purchase.

 

[Piercedveil]

Should I expect CS:S and CS to go lower? Can't remember if they usually do or not.

 

[Stop It]

Okay, I'm confused. After I click get started am I supposed to start out with a free gift and then when I check my inventory I get another one? If that's the case it isn't working for me D:

I'm glad I'm not the only one I guess. I clicked it, and...nothing, bah.

 

[oipic]

Finally into my inventory. No discount coupons, but instead:

- F.E.A.R complete pack (F.E.A.R 3 etc)
- The Wonderful End of the World

I hope everyone finds something special under their tree, or can trade for it - I foresee some frenzied trading in the days ahead.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

33% off any one title on Steam listed with Valve as the publisher.
Excludes titles released after January 2nd, 2012.

Looks like DOTA2 and/or CS:GO releases after or on January 2nd.

 

[PixyJunket]

Huh? What's a 25% off a Valve game coupon good for, espeically now?

 

[Exile550]

I got Trine if anyone is interested.

 

[RoadHazard]

I want to use my 25% off coupon on portal 2 but I don't know how to proceed. Can I do it today even if its a daily deal?

EDIT: ok, nevermind.

You can't use the coupon until after the sale has finished (that is, after January 2nd).

I got Trine if anyone is interested.

I am, if you're just giving it away!

 

[Freki]

I got Trine if anyone is interested.

would be cool - still missing that little gem ;-)

 

[catabarez]

I'm glad I'm not the only one I guess. I clicked it, and...nothing, bah.

WHY VALVE?!

 

[SteveWinwood]

Huh? What's a 25% off a Valve game coupon good for, espeically now?

Probably trade it for a hat in hat fortress 2 or something.

 

[alr1ght]

My inventory just lists my TF2 items. :|

 

[Jzero]

Finally works. I got devil may cry 3 and 25% off valve

 

[vall03]

Oh. Only have 1 showing up :\ hmm.

same here, when I finally got to login and get started, nothing shows up in my inventory...

 

[PaulLFC]

Finally into my inventory. No discount coupons, but instead:

- F.E.A.R complete pack (F.E.A.R 3 etc)
- The Wonderful End of the World

I hope everyone finds something special under their tree, or can trade for it - I foresee some frenzied trading in the days ahead.

Wow, the FEAR Complete Pack for free? That's nice, I thought it was only Valve games that were being given away. Hopefully I get a free game at some point during the sale then!

lol

 

[Coop]

Got 50% off Valve and 50% off Introversion Complete Pack. I own all of those games :-\

 

[Derrick01]

I have 2 of my 3 gifts available, the 50% off valve stuff which was already known and I have 50% off a strategy first game.

No clue what my third one is, the one I got from orcs must die.

 

[Madrugador]

I only got a 25% off Valve Coupon, but I have two objectives completed. Is this normal?

 

[dave is ok]

My Steam Gifts tab is completely gone. I only have TF2, Portal 2 and Spiral Knights

 

[iKeepPlaying]

Is this normal, right?

 

[pfkas]

lol, that's why I couldn't get the achievement for that, thought it was a bit tough

 

[Jzero]

anyone want to trade ? i have no interest in devil may cry 3

 

[Fou-Lu]

Fallout Collection, -25% Ubisoft and -25% Valve for me

Lucky, I wish I got the Fallout Collection.

 

[RoadHazard]

My Steam Gifts tab is completely gone. I only have TF2, Portal 2 and Spiral Knights

All my gift tabs are gone. All of them (except for "Pending Gifts").

Ok, seriously Steam, stop being broken.

On this page everything looks great:

But then I click the red arrow thing to get to my inventory, and this is what I see:

I hate you, Steam.

 

[Scythian]

Is this normal, right?

Yep, just wait a while, they will appear at some point

Looks like I'm not the only one who couldn't get the achievement to pop. :/

The game is pretty clunky and you reload constantly, not a great twin stick shooter IMO.

 

[Horse Detective]

Just bought Portal 2 for $7.00

GAF please tell me that was not a waste.

 

[Sblargh]

I got Episode 2.
Does it work without HL2?

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

Haha, bit on Orcs Must die because of this video alone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxXCBrdj0xc

"We made this game because when I was a young boy orcs killed my family."

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Gabe has suddenly turned into a Used Car Lot Commercial.

He's giving everything away for free, he must be crazy!

Seriously.
FEAR Complete?
Portal 2?
DOTA?
The entire library of games?

 

[mrgone]

Anyone else experiencing this: You can view your inventory now, but no gifts have been delivered despite having completed objectives?

edit: Wow, yes. In good company.

 

[iKeepPlaying]

Yep, just wait a while, they will appear at some point

Thanks.
(Damn you Gaben ;_;!)

 

[chewydogg]

I got a 50% off Metro 2033 coupon if anyone wants to trade something for it...

 

[cicero]

Hows the PC port of Fable 1? Only one I'm tempted by since for some reason I never got around to beating the first one when I had it on Xbox even though I got pretty far.

Is Fable The Lost Chapters worth it? I vaguely remember playing it but does it hold up?

Anyone? Is it worth $2.50? For another $.50 I could just head on over to GOG.com and buy something like Ultima 4+5+6. Is Fable The Lost Chapters going to be a forgettable or regrettable purchase?

Ok, I'm not pleased at all at not knowing the name of the games.
I'm sorry Gabe for not recognizing everything just by looking at the pic.

I totally agree with this.

 

[PaulLFC]

Just got a notification of new DLC for Renegade Ops - Coldstrike Campaign (£2.99) and Reinforcement Pack (£1.79).

According to the DLC pages though, I already own both of them, as do a lot of other people on my friends list. Was this free DLC for existing owners or something?

 

[SmithnCo]

Anyone else experiencing this: You can view your inventory now, but no gifts have been delivered despite having completed objectives?

Yes, I just have the one coupon, nothing else. Did the Orcs achievement and nothing for that either, yet.

 

[goober]

Dark Void Zero is 99 cents. Worth it?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

"We made this game because when I was a young boy orcs killed my family."

It's really an amazing game.
