So that's it for the achievements? What happened to Champions Online and Bit Trip Runner? Etc?

they could probably throw together another set of achievements tomorrow.

do we know today was the last day for achievements?

 

[1-D_FTW]

So, what's the word - it's better to keep coal?

If you're trying to win Portal 2, go for it. If you own all Valve games, waste of coal. Limited to Valve items/coupons.

 

[firehawk12]

Dude, it's your choice. Feeling lucky?

I was going to keep them to try for the draw, but I have no idea anymore!

 

[bs000]

Anyone will to trade 1 coal for my copy of Altitude?

Me?

 

[Piano]

Is Magicka any good? If so is the complete pack worth it or just the base game?

no it isn't, lots of people have won games/coupons not related to Valve

 

[mojiimbo]

Today?

 

[derFeef]

That's my outcome and I'll leave it that way, except if there is something easy tomorrow.
Anyway, happy new Steam year everyone

 

[Starwolf_UK]

do we know today was the last day for achievements?

From the Steam store page:

Here are your final objectives!

Plus there are no days left on the page.

I think the reason for more achievements is some developers submitted multiple ones and valve chose which one to go for leaving one as valid for the contest (or they were trolling us or both in the case of Super Meat Boy). Though for some reason Two Tribes got two: EDGE and Toki Tori. Maybe the former counts as separate due to being a port.

Today?

I won a non Valve game today but not from crafting.

 

[Themacabre]

Is Magicka any good? If so is the complete pack worth it or just the base game?

I like it. As far as the DLC goes, you (or I at least) would want the vietnam one and the stars are left, definitely...that will put you close to the full package price anyway.

 

[Dynamic3]

Anyone have a copy of Rochard they are willing to trade? I have a 50% off Valve and L4D.

 

[syllogism]

Someone on steam forums crafted 147 coal today and got 21 valve coupons

Get it all. The DLC is some of the most quality DLC ever made.

Poor bastard.

 

[I H8 Memes]

I hit my paypal $500 (every 30 days) withdrawal limit in 4 days helping people in other territories buy games. Wish there was someway to raise it without linking it to my bank account.

 

[derFeef]

Get it all. The DLC is some of the most quality DLC ever made.

The Stars Are Left is fantastic. Vietnam is only short time fun but pretty diverse. The challenge maps and PVP arenas are okay. Tat said, everyone should own Magicka as it is pretty much one of the most fun I had this year. So sad that most of my friends are not playing it and coop is so much more fun than alone.

 

[NBtoaster]

Someone on steam forums crafted 147 coal today and got 21 valve coupons

I don't believe this, someone would stop after 3 or so.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

now im scared to craft my coal =/

I think that confirms the coal has gone bad (as some of us think from recent valve coupon crafting). I'm pleased I did my crafting a few days ago...even I only got a game I don't need and will probably never play or install and 25% off Deeep Silver. Well I suppose there is 1 more objective I can actually do to finish me off with 7 coal...

Wanted to keep it under $100. Fuck buying games Day One. I just picked up enough quality games to last me for the next 6 - 12 months for a few bucks over a single brand new release.

 

[Sober]

That pretty much confirms all the non-Valve stuff has run out sadly. That's what I get for keeping my coal until the end.

Definetly keep Grid and Hitman collection. Don't know about the other ones.

 

[Fou-Lu]

Here is my cart... Thoughts?

Good choices. I'd grab the DLC for Hoard though, only adds like 40 cents.

 

[Kyaw]

Guys guys guys guys

Rochard is really awesome. Awesome space themed gravity based puzzler.

The visuals are also very stylised and clean. Almost Valve style!

Really loving it so far.

[Aselith]

How is Daggerdale on PC? My friends were pretty pissed about it being super buggy on consoles. Is it bad on the PC and is it a fun game?

 

[dave is ok]

I think Valve ran out of other publishers games today. All Valve coupons and Portal 2 today

 

[Incendiary]

I picked up Dungeons of Dredmor today but it won't work for me. I've tried three times to start a dungeon and after three steps my computer crashes. Is this a known problem or is my computer just crap?

 

[plc268]

Here is my cart... Thoughts?

If you're looking to save money, ditch the Hitman Collection and just grab Blood Money. The others are good, but Blood Money is the pinnacle of the series.

Hoard is ok, but gets old quick. Bit trip beat is an overated boring game.

 

[Mupod]

That pretty much confirms all the non-Valve stuff has run out sadly. That's what I get for keeping my coal until the end.

God dammit, I came here to complain that my 28 coal turned into valve coupons and DoD: Source. Should have looked first.

 

[goober]

That's really disappointing if Valve ran out of games to give out.

That's like the lotto awarding you coupons towards your next ticket.

 

[Buttonbasher]

If you're looking to save money, ditch the Hitman Collection and just grab Blood Money. The others are good, but Blood Money is the pinnacle of the series.

Yeah this. The first two Hitman games have aged very poorly.

 

[subversus]

How do you know they have ran out? Is it even possible? I got my FEAR pack just yesterday.

 

[Themacabre]

How is Daggerdale on PC? My friends were pretty pissed about it being super buggy on consoles. Is it bad on the PC and is it a fun game?

I did not like that game at all. It did crash on me a few times but that's not why I didn't like it. It wasn't fun (for me), everything was janky and weird, like a really low budget game....but without the care of an indie title.

 

[Eternia]

Pretty low from Valve. I guess I should have known something was up with my last 3 gifts being Valve.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

How much is the value of 15 coals?

I'm afraid that with my luck I'll get shitty cupons...

 

[wackojackosnose]

Wooooo!! I won Portal 2!! I haven't even been paying attention to the gift pile stuff. Turns out I've accidently completed 3 objectives and now also own 2 pieces of coal and a 25% off Valve voucher. Woooooo!!!

Oh yeah, and:

Any UKers want to do a Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition bundle? If we chip in for a 4 pack, we can get the game at £9.37 each vs £12.49 for a single copy. Any UKers interested?

 

[Darryl]

they still have games, they're just all valve games

Now that you can seemingly only get Valve gifts and coupons? Not a whole lot.
