Damn, Batman. Still unclear if I should buy it.

Unlocked so far:
50% off Valve
33% off Space Marine
2x Coal
1x Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee

 

[graywolf323]

Another lump of coal for me :/

that's better than what I got... a 10% off a THQ game coupon :|

 

[Herla]

God the Defense Grid achievement is insane. I even followed a guide and I can't get it...

 

[Deadstar]

Still thinking about getting the Witcher 2, and maybe batman but I wasn't the biggest fan of the first.

Witcher 2 is much more accessible than the first. It is absolutely incredible! The visuals are the best out there right now maybe other than Crysis 2 on pc. The combat in my opinion is more fun than the first game and it's just overall a MUST BUY for anyone who LIKES VIDEO GAMES. Simple as that. You do NOT want to miss this!

 

[Stumpokapow]

Stupid Steam. I had to leave then rejoin the Holiday group in order to get the achievement.

Me too.

Sherlock Holmes games any good??

I played vs Jack the Ripper and liked it quite a bit. It had the same kind of atmospheric melancholy that the books did, imho.

 

[Adnor]

Rage should work fine on my gtx460 of 1GB, right?

 

[Wolfie5]

Yes, just got Batman AC. How is the DLC? Worth buying?

 

[The_Monk]

Holy freaking crap! I didn't knew you could win games. I thought it was just coupons and coal but I just won this:

WOHOO!

Sortudo!

 

[mrgone]

I'm guessing it's not possible to add multiple coupons to a single purchase?

 

[Dorfdad]

managed to get The Witcher 2 for a cool $17.50 (not using steam but it activates!)

 

[C-Drive]

I selected it as a free game during the summer. Controls only work well with a controller though.

I did the same.

I wish Valve would let you convert coupons into coal.

 

[Petrie]

Asked a few pages back but got lost in the madness. I won a copy of Shadow Ops: Phantom Harvest. Reviews seem bad, but is this worth owning or should I go try and trade it off for something?

*edit*

Wrong thread. Oops.

 

[arts&crafts]

10 coal, 25% off valve, 50% off Trauma. Its like steam is punishing me for spending hundreds of dollars with them.

 

[unagisensei]

50% off Trauma.

I got this too.

What's the point of them gifting coupons for games that can't be used until after the sale, when the discount offered on the coupon is less than the discount during the winter sale? Pretty dumb.

 

[cyberheater]

Rage should work fine on my gtx460 of 1GB, right?

Yep. That's what I've got. It just fine on it.

 

[Derrick01]

just got 50% off terraria :/ meh

Meh to you sir! Terraria's one of the best games of the year.

I just got a 50% off GTA Vice City coupon for doing the guardians of graxia achievement. I'd feel better about that if it had good gamepad support which I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

 

[Bebpo]

One thing I'm curious about is if anyone, on any forum, has gotten a game out of crafting coal? Everyone who posts about crafting 7 coals seems to be getting the absolute worst coupons from it, which makes it seem like hanging onto the coal is the better option.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Not Steamworks, but Amazon has dropped Tropico 4 even further. 5.00 dollars right now.

[alterno69]

Fuuuuck, i only got a decent gaming PC 3 weeks ago, 3 weeks, and i now own, Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Stalker bundle, Arkam City and Crysis lol, this is gonna be my ruin.

My collection is getting bigger by the day, plus i already owned the orange box and i have yet to beat any of those games too lol.

 

[Vanillalite]

Wait so we can join a holiday group to get an achievement for the grab bag?

 

[Sinatar]

Rage should work fine on my gtx460 of 1GB, right?

Yup.

 

[Jomjom]

uuuuuuh Hitman was on sale this summer, I got Blood Munnay

Damn it, it must have been on sale the one day I wasn't online at all.

 

[Euphor!a]

I'm looking to get some more coal, anyone have any interest in trading for any of these coupons?

2xValve 50% Off
Torchlight 75% Off
The Ball 50% Off
Bunch of Heroes 50% Off (I think I got trolled with this one... Got it for the Bunch of heroes Achievement -_-)

I also have a giftable copy of Left 4 Dead 2.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Holy freaking crap! I didn't knew you could win games. I thought it was just coupons and coal but I just won this:

WOHOO!

<-Jelly

Awesome win!

If only it were Steamworks. Damnit.

God the Defense Grid achievement is insane. I even followed a guide and I can't get it...

I followed the video in the guide in the OP and got it on my first try. I'm not even that good at this game tbh. Just check the build order.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Part of me is itching to just go ahead and redeem it myself right now (rather than hold it for potential trade) to get todays achievement and another gift.

I feel like I'm on Press Your Luck...No Whammies!

See I doubt you'd trade JP for a 50 percent off anything steam coupon and 3 coal would you? Could even throw in a 25 percent off anything valve coupon too. lol

 

[goober]

managed to get The Witcher 2 for a cool $17.50 (not using steam but it activates!)

whereeeeeeeee

 

[The Mana Legend]

I am so sick of getting shafted by this gifting shit. I have two crappy coupons and a bunch of coal! What the hell!

 

[1-D_FTW]

Yep. That's what I've got. It just fine on it.

Same here. And with 1080p and max settings (plus triple buffering), I'm not only locked at 60fps, but my 460 1GB is only running at about 50 percent utilization. Temps are real cool. And it's a beautiful game.

Is it Steamworks?

 

[Adnor]

Awesome, bought, I wanted to play this game since it released, but the problems hold me back

 

[Petrie]

I found that achievement to be stupidly simple. Barely had to try, just build an assortment and the last 16 or so waves are on auto-pilot.

 

[Technosteve]

i just got a free game from the join the steam sales community! =D

Test Drive Unlimited 2 should i keep it or trade it?

 

[1-D_FTW]

Is it Steamworks?

No. Meant to say not Steamworks. But no.

 

[tjohn86]

So..anyone wanna trade me something for 'Disciples II Gold'?

The witcher 1?

 

[Atomski]

Is Monday Night Combat worth it? Anyone still play online?

A free2play version of the game will be out soon. I doubt the original will have any playersbase once its released.


Im still debating if Rage is worth spending 15 dollars on. Have they fixed the texture popup?

 

[Lulubop]

I was interested in Grotesque Tactics awhile, but read a lot of negative feedback. Is the sequel a major improvement?

Also, how is Sword and Soldiers?

 

[masterkajo]

managed to get The Witcher 2 for a cool $17.50 (not using steam but it activates!)

I thought only the steam version has steamworks. Where did you get a version that is redeemable on steam?

 

[Saige]

Got another piece of coal (5 total) and picked up the Stalker bundle.

 

[Deadstar]

I bought Rage. Wondering if the heist is any good...

 

[MRORANGE]

Test Drive Unlimited 2 should i keep it or trade it?

do you like boob physics?

 

[Petrie]

I bought Rage. Wondering if the heist is any good...

Apparently not. Otherwise it'd be bought by now. Silly devs.

 

[R1CHO]

Fuck yeah, my first present! R.U.S.E.

 

[Vanillalite]

Also, how is Sword and Soldiers?

I heard meh things as well as about GT which is why I'm just passing on today's stuff since we are barely a few days into the sale. Rather wait and spend my cash on other stuff I know I want.

 

[Da DreadLord]

So..anyone wanna trade me something for 'Disciples II Gold'?

bump

I'll even take coal! :smug:

 

[famousmortimer]

Sword and Soldiers is a fun little strategy game. It's not the deepest thing in the world, but it's charming and a lot of fun. Easily worth $2.50. I got it at full price at launch and loved it.

 

[thunker 9000]

AWW YEAH
