So because I had three kings but it was a full house and not three-of-a-kind I didn't get the achievement?

Jesus...

 

[Stumpokapow]

HOARD is listed as achievable, and the thieves in Santa Hats show up in game, and the main menu makes reference to the holiday sale, but the achievement isn't listed in the achievements list. I'm assuming that means it is not achievable.

It is achievable, I got it 2 days ago. Play on a Treasure map, the kills are cumulative, it took me 2 games to get 10 kills.

My HOARD stats page, it's the last achievement received "Ruin Christmas": http://steamcommunity.com/id/BahaFS/stats/HOARD

The Jamestown one wasn't on the achievement list for me but it still unlocked.

I've resorted to using a program to turbofire mouse1 and 2 and just let the game play itself while doing other things.

 

[blackMamba1187]

Anyone in the UK willing to help me gift this? Will paypal immediately.

re: Crysis 2. anyone do this for me as well?

 

[Vamphuntr]

Okay got the E.Y.E one fairly easily. Got around three gifts in 30 min in the second area like you guys said.

Bingo.

I know you're reading this Telltale. You guys are a bunch of fucking assholes. Merry Christmas, dicks.

Poker, dudes.

Yeah, I'm going to try a few others before going back to Poker.

Did Killing Floor, pretty easy one.

how does that work, does it just call all the time or something?

People complaining about the Poker Night cheese mint obviously never attempted to get the Salty title in World of Warcraft. One of the parts is:

I've spent about a week of real time fishing for him. Caught him twice, he attacked me every time I tried to get the pet, and I never ended up getting him.

I just realized I can get most of those already. Well, now I know what I'm doing next week before going to see family.

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

It says you can cheat in sweater to get the achivement for SMB but I can't seem to jump over the walls.

 

[jediyoshi]

Yep, always a check/call. Just have to check back every few minutes to see if I'm out

 

[Marsipolami]

There is a small gap which doesn't kill you. Try to get on the wall and then jump over it so you barely touch the top of the wall, then you'll get through.

 

[legend166]

What are the chances Shogun 2 goes lower during the Christmas sale? Pretty slim, right? I'm thinking at best it might go to $7.50?

Stuff it, I'll buy it now and just include it in my $100 Christmas budget.

Anyone willing to gift?

Hold run.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Slim, and the game is also a total steal at 10 bucks.

This. Seriously.

 

[mrgone]

I'm guessing it'll probably show up as a daily, but if it's 75% off there you'd only end up saving $2.50 over what it is today. Personally I'd wait - it's a Steamworks title, so if anyone else has a crazy sale on it you'll have it on Steam anyways

Hidden achievements. Most games have them. (usually to avoid showing you spoilers)

They don't show up in the normal achievement list until you get them, but you can see them by going to "view global achievement stats".

 

[JaseC]

What did Telltale do this time?

 

[mrgone]

What did Telltale do this time?

Their Christmas achievement requires winning a poker hand with 3 of a kind, all kings. I think the odds of getting that hand are something like 0.2%

 

[SmithnCo]

I wonder how easy the achievements for free to play MMOs like CrimeCraft or Champions will be. I'm not going to bother if they take a while or make you pay for anything.

Cool. Valve really have thought of everything.

Haha. You'd have a better chance at winning your wishlist.

 

[jgminto]

The Sequence cheeve is now available. You just have to beat the second enemy on the first stage. Super easy. Took me about 10 seconds.

 

[FloppyDelux]

Just got the Beathazzard one and it was really fun.

edit: hmm it seemed to of despaired from the achievement list .... or its not showing up....and you only need to survive for five minutes...

 

[Lime]

Shogun 2 is contender for GOTY 2011 for me. Everyone who likes good games (or strategy games) should buy it.

 

[legend166]

Any Americans willing to help me out with getting Shogun 2. I can PayPal immediately.

I can if you like, PM me.

 

[TGMIII]

How much is shogun 2 in the US?

 

[SmithnCo]

Audiosurf was another really easy one.

A lot of these seem like cute little challenges to show off Christmas stuff, then you've got Poker.

$10

 

[Like2Drive]

Sequence has a holiday achievement now.

are you fucking with me

I also noticed there's a Puzzle Agent 2 cheesemint? But I bought the game from Telltale already. Sad. ):

 

[Feep]

There were numerous requirements on the Christmas cheevo that prevented me from being a little more creative with it, but it's SUPER easy to get, so everyone should have a nice, easy one for your Christmas hunting.

Plus, you know, every member of this forum gets Sequence for free, so that helps, too.

You´ll probably have the Super Meat Boy also. The achievement for the summer camp prize ticket was pretty ridiculous in that game.

 

[BioHazard]

I think I'm going to try and get all the achievements again this year, doesn't look like I need that many more games for it. I'll probably wait til Monday instead of starting early, I suppose

 

[SmithnCo]

There's an exploit for that one, making it pretty easy. Even normally though, it would be a lot less mind-numbing and time-consuming than Poker, there would actually be a sense of progress whereas Poker is straight-up luck.

Man, I wish you had a blog or something so that we could get a behind the scenes look at how stuff like this gets put together from an indie dev's perspective. But I'm assuming there is a NDA/gentlemens agreement about such things. I'd love to hear about the process behind giving everyone a gifted copy of your game, and what steam's policy is on that.

Is a gentleman's agreement one where one gentleman shoots the other gentleman in the face with a pistol if the agreement is broken? Yeah, I think this is that.

I *can* tell you that Valve is awesome, and I can generate as many codes as I'd like. One of the guys over there was, like, "Are you *sure* you want to do this?" when I told him why I needed a gajillion codes, and I assured him I was. = D

Didn't for me. I even got 5-star no-hit to make sure.

My unhealthy mancrush on you grows.

Question

Bulletstorm isn't available on Steam for me for who knows what reason. How can I find out if it goes on sale if I can't even see it so I have a friend from the states gift it to me?

How do you get white blocks in Audiosurf???

Unless you're talking about over the course of the holiday sale, in which case those will probably be blasted all over its topic op.

 

[TGMIII]

So do we know for sure if it's going to be a ticket system like summer. I sorta scared to start unlocking the achievements now and then not get anything when the event goes live.
