Ohh snap! Steam itself is now a meta-game.

The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

a treasure hunt? well at least I already have accomplished two of todays but I don't own the other two games :lol

god damnit

why do they have to do this right as the semester ends and right as cataclysm comes out

Actually, I really like this. It seems fun. I don't like how some of the objectives are game dependent, though. I don't own any of those three games!

 

[Baha]

They're even offering tf2 hats :lol :lol . I have 2 of the objectives completed already so that's nice I guess.

 

[slidewinder]

They put the games with objectives on sale, too.
Chime $1.25, Ruse $33.49, Poker Night $2.99

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Is this some sick voo doo by the Lord Gabe? Come on man! You just had a Thanksgiving sale, there is going to be a holiday sale in a couple weeks. Give a man a break!

 

[Aon]

75% off Chime seems like a good deal.

So will this replace the X-mas sale do we reckon?

 

[graywolf323]

oh nice Steam, they are putting the games on sale during the two days they are part of the objectives

still not buying RUSE at that price but for $1.25 I'll grab Chime and try to "Set a leaderbord score of at least 1,124,400 in easy mode for the 'Paul Hartnoll' level in Chime" :lol

definitely not, with this ending on the 20th I bet the Holiday Sale will start on the 21st

 

[slidewinder]

Nah.

 

[morningbus]

Those dirty motherfuckers.

 

[Baha]

oh nice Steam, they are putting the four games on sale during the two days they are part of the objectives

still not buying RUSE at that price but for $1.25 I'll grab Chime and try to "Set a leaderbord score of at least 1,124,400 in easy mode for the 'Paul Hartnoll' level in Chime" :lol



definitely not, with this ending on the 20th I bet the Holiday Sale will start on the 21st

Nvm. Misread the post.

 

[Kritz]

This sounds a little sleazy.

But it also seems like a fantastic way to make my wallet ejaculate currency into the throbbing bank account of steam.

... okay, now it sounds really sleazy.

 

[JADS]

I am not buying Ruse, but I got Chime for a €1. Dirty Steam, Dirty Valve :lol

Edit: Wait 28 objectives gets you the hat of undeniable health? Sleazy

 

[SturokBGD]

Oh shit, now I own Chime.

Hats! :lol

 

[The M.O.B]

Gabe is one sly dude. When I saw the price of Poker Night and Chime, I almost immediately bought them so I could complete the objectives.

 

[Joe Molotov]

I've already got an avatar and I've done the Poker Night achievement. Will get Chime since it's $1.25. You're not going to trick me into buying RUSE though, Steam.












Wait, I wonder how easy the RUSE achievement is?....oh God, it's really easy....DAMN YOU, GABE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nabs]

hahahahaha. Now I'll have some people on my Chime leaderboard! Yay.

 

[Weenerz]

$1.25 for Chime is hard to say no.

 

[delirium]

Is Chime or the Poker game worth it?

 

[graywolf323]

ah crap Chime is a music based puzzler

I suck at those :lol

Is Chime or the Poker game worth it?

the poker game is great but there is no multiplayer

 

[Stallion Free]

Oh shit, I already have 2/4 and I wasn't that interested in Chime, but I can't say no to that price.

 

[Spwn]

Nothing for me to do as I've already completed 3/4 of the tasks and won't buy RUSE. But I love the idea!

 

[delirium]

Then what's the point?

 

[Baha]

Fuck it, I'm gonna see how far I can go without buying any games for this promotion. Unless something I really want to play goes on sale of course.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Then what's the point?

To get TF2 items mainly.

 

[Sinatar]

So they've found a way to get people to actually play the games they buy on steam?

Insidious.

So yea... any idea what this Desert Fox thing is in RUSE? There isn't an achievement labeled that.

 

[Ikuu]

Pretty cool idea, getting 28 objectives seems a little too much though.

 

[Twig]

Then what's the point?

If you like the characters, the dialogue is hilarious.

I hate poker but I bought it for the characters. It's only five bucks. Now it's only THREE bucks. Shrug.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Then what's the point?

The fun characters?

 

[Zzoram]

I think this idea is cool. Not interested in games for the first set of tasks, but if I want some of the other games I might do them for more entries into the win games contest.

I really like that they're encouraging people to put avatars on their Steam community pages. I'm tired of looking at a bunch of question marks.

 

[John]

Then what's the point?

hanging out with some dudes

 

[BuddhaRockstar]

Once valve finds a way to port TF2 hats to all its games and somehow let me use them in my Steam profile I am just going to give them free access to my bank account to make things easier.

3$ and I only get 3-5 hours of game? Still too expensive.

 

[Lothars]

??? ok... It's worth it, I would recommend to get it.

 

[Stallion Free]

??? ok... It's worth it, I would recommend to get it.

Sorry I have a huge back catalog bro. I only buy things if I can get a couple hours of pleasure out of each dollar.

 

[erpg]

Poker Night is great - I've put 5 hours into it so far. Lack of multiplayer doesn't really matter to me, since the fun comes from playing with the cast.

Besides, if you want to play multiplayer poker, I hear you can play poker.

 

[Burekma]

According to the Sweepstakes you need at least 10 titles on your wishlist again. And the Christmas sale will supposedly start on the 20th.

I looked it up on the RUSE wiki.

http://ruse.wikia.com/wiki/Desert_Fox

I'm not sure what "Playing Two Ruses On One Location" entails exactly, but 83% of people have that achievement, so it must be easy as fuck.

 

[markot]

>_< Kind of have to buy Chime and poker at those prices...

 

[Twig]

3$ and I only get 3-5 hours of game? Still too expensive.

Good point. Best wait until it's only 50 cent. Wouldn't want to waste that cashmoney.

The map is split up into a bunch of sectors and ruses are abilities that you use on a sector, and you get a lot of ruses.

 

[diztrukted]

Nothing for me to do as I've already completed 3/4 of the tasks and won't buy RUSE. But I love the idea!

you've got to admit, this is fairly clever.

touché valve, touché

 

[Twig]

I didn't realize there were ONLY 28 goals.

That's balls. I thought there were 100 total when I just skimmed over it earlier. One for each game.

Hnngh. Guess no TF2 hats for me. I'm not buying games for that shit.

 

[Spwn]

And one thing I love about this campaign is that you don't have to do the tasks again if you've already done them. So most all the objectives will be around games that either use leaderboards or Steam achievements.

How would they track to see if you completed something that isn't a Steam Achievement/Leaderboard?

 

[Joe Molotov]

Well, they did have that one objective today where you had to create an avatar. Maybe one of the achievements will be "Purchase Vampire the Masquarade: Bloodlines" and they increase the price to $30.

 

[Spwn]

That is why I believe all the objects are tied to achievements and leaderboards.

You said "most" the first time.

 

[Spwn]

You said "most" the first time.

A little slip, but I was also referring to the avatar objective.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Got the Chime objective.



......RUSE.......

 

[Joe Molotov]

Okay, I did it. You broke my will, Gabe you bastard. Are you happy now? I hope so.
