Skyrim for $45 this sale... yes/no?

hopeing for $20 or less....

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Beat Hazard is infuriatingly fun!

 

[Taco_Human]

Anyone else having trouble with the Left 4 Dead 2 holiday achievement? I've played versus for an hour and a half and I've seen no presents drop.

 

[vall03]

Hoping for $30 Skyrim...

They seem to drop mostly at the start of a match.

 

[MNC]

Hoping for 10-15 witcher 2. I can dream.

Pretty sure you have to play on the first map of a given scenario to get frequent drops. For example the first map of No Mercy, which is what I did it on.

 

[TGMIII]

I can't wait to spend all of my money.

 

[Brazil]

hopeing for $20 or less....

Good luck with that.

 

[SteveWinwood]

A lot of you have pretty high hopes for skyrim... Unless your hope is to be disappointed, then yeah you'll get what you hope for.

 

[Fou-Lu]

I'm not expecting any deal on Skyrim at all.

 

[Sinatar]

Hoping for $30 Skyrim...

It's still selling way too well to see much of a discount.

 

[Echoplx]

Yep Skyrim probably won't get a deal, not like it needs help getting sales.

 

[Eusis]

I'm not expecting any deal on Skyrim at all.

I expect one... but you'll be lucky to see it go to $30. More likely it will be $45 or higher, given how new and popular it is.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I had no idea there were so many Christmas songs...

 

[svegis]

Yeah don't think that is active yet. Global completion shows that 0% have it yet.

That reminds me, the achievements are still messed up on OS X so anyone on Mac won't be able to unlock it. Kind of messed up that it's not a requirement from Valve that everyone should be able to unlock all of these. Meh.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

He's hoping for an even bigger discount during the Winter Sale.

Yeah. We might get 66%. It's too close to the sale at the moment to take that chance. It'll definitely be half off some time over the next few weeks.

 

[chixdiggit]

So is there word on if the achievements do anything other than being achievements? is it like the camp store thing?

 

[speculawyer]

Holy crap. I've had like 30 games update themselves. I guess the sale is soon and a bunch of stuff I already have is going on sale.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

10 dollar discount on Skyrim, max. Are people seriously hoping for $20-30? Yeah, right. Maybe next year.

 

[chixdiggit]

Yea not going to happen. 10% to 15% discount is all it will get.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Maybe if I've been a good little boy Bethesda will let me pay $80 for it instead of $100.

 

[Nabs]

If you're trying to get Skyrim, it's probably best to pick it up retail or on another site. I know it was 50% off in the UK a few weeks ago. It'll probably hit 45 on Steam.

 

[Yaboosh]

10 dollar discount on Skyrim, max. Are people seriously hoping for $20-30? Yeah, right. Maybe next year.

Don't underestimate the power of the Steam sale. I bet it is at least down to $40 at some point.

 

[VALIS]

I know there's a 0.1% chance of this happening, but I wish they'd just discount everything the max it will ever be discounted on day 1 and just leave it like that until the end of the sale. I was not able to make purchases the last day of the Thanksgiving sale because I already had four pending Steam charges hanging on my credit card from different daily sales Wed. night, Thanksgiving, Fri. and Sat (3 of 4 days that banks weren't open), and my CC quite reasonably stopped letting more Steam charges through at that point.

Highlight a dozen new games every day, that's cool, but I think the way they space out the max sale prices is shit. Particularly since this often happens on days when banks aren't open.

Pay through Paypal. Worked for me.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

LOL you're funny

 

[davonaytor]

So the second one was insanely hard to get.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Got the Dungeons of Dredmor christmas achievement. It was fairly easy. Simply craft the Diggle Nog holiday brew. Pick up the reagents on the first floor and It's the last recipe on the brews/drinks tab.

Just dump 50 into your Steam account. The means are there

 

[SmithnCo]

Got the Jamestown cheevo, still working on the Runner one... Luckily I think you only need to get to 3-7.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Don't underestimate the power of the Steam sale. I bet it is at least down to $40 at some point.

I'm up for a steam gift bet. If by the last day there is no $40 Skyrim, you gift me a game up to $10 value, vice versa if it does get down to $40.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

EVENING OF THE FINAL DAY - 18 HOURS REMAIN

BUT WHICH HOUR WILL EMERGE VICTOR?

 

[Togglesworlh]

wtf is this shit??

Super Meat Boy cheesemints made easy?

 

[SteveWinwood]

Can I just play the christmas levels in meatboy? I played it on 360 and got the steam version at some point but have barely touched it.

 

[SmithnCo]

Yeah, you can enter Meat World immediately and just play those levels.

 

[chixdiggit]

The Bit Trip achievement where you have to use a controller is killing me. Wasn't this game on Xbox? Who would want to play it without a mouse?

 

[Dmax3901]

Can't get this to work for me.

Have you tried that? It's actually harder than to just do them I think =p

 

[Kifimbo]

The Bit Trip achievement where you have to use a controller is killing me. Wasn't this game on Xbox? Who would want to play it without a mouse?

No it was a WiiWare game, played by tilting the Remote.

 

[Symphonic]

Does the Day of Defeat one still work by killing yourself in an empty server? I tried that for a good 10 minutes and got nothing.

 

[Derrick01]

edit: nevermind the game gave it to me without me noticing.

 

[The Technomancer]

The Bit Trip achievement where you have to use a controller is killing me. Wasn't this game on Xbox? Who would want to play it without a mouse?

There's an achievement that needs a controller? The fuck?

 

[The Elite]

We are sure the sale starts tomorrow?

 

[SmithnCo]

Fucking finally.

 

[Turfster]

And not just any controller, no it only works with a 360 controller (or an emulated one)

 

[Symphonic]

There's an achievement that needs a controller? The fuck?

Perfect 1-1 with a controller. I haven't been able to do it because the game doesn't recognize my Logitech controller.

Make achievement that requires controller, make one of the lead 3rd party controller companies noncompatible. GG Gaijin.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

There's an achievement that needs a controller? The fuck?

Yep. I got it on my first try but it was luck more than anything. Sucks for anyone who doesn't have a joypad.

 

[Stabby McSter]

what are all the games with the christmas achievements? D:

Wait, are we talking Beat or Runner?
