The only reasonable explanation is that they knew this achievement was attainable early, so in theory people had a lot of time to do it. But it still screws those that buy it now. Guess it's to be expected, but eh...

Is that one of the rare items? Or is it just an item everybody got at the start of the sale?

The latter.

 

[I H8 Memes]

coal, yay

How much coal do you have?

 

[Kabouter]

Crafted 7 coal, got 60% off Magicka.

That makes 12 coupons.

Crafted for the fourth, and obviously final, time.
After some poor luck with 50% off Demolition Inc., 50% off VVVVVV, 50% off Demolition Inc. again, I now got...50% off Trials 2!

Fuck yeah.
Sixteen coupons.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Nobody is getting the achievement today.

I have it. Got it sometime last week.

 

[BY2K]

I really didn´t expect anything else, but I don´t think that they´re funny or right with such hard achievements for these contests. It just shows that they don´t understand or agree with the point of achievements for contests like this. And that´s pretty stupid.

Mix that with the fact that we can't even access the levels right now because Team Meat are a bunch of morons and you get the perfect achievement!

I have it. Got it sometime last week.

I said today.

 

[PaulLFC]

The latter.

Ah oh well!

 

[Oreoleo]

I have it. Got it sometime last week.

You're not getting it. Their SMW server was hacked or whatever. No one can connect to download the levels anymore.

 

[Divius]

How much coal do you have?

6. Why?

 

[RetroGreg]

Besides Lego Batman, does anyone know if the other Lego games ever get a good discount (75%)?

 

[snoopeasystreet]

I said today.

Sure they have a few days to get it. No big deal.

Oh. Didn't know that. Excuse my ignorance.

Yeah that's bullshite.

 

[Thrakier]

Is GTA complete edition worth it just for the episodes?

Yay or nay?

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I was planning a DE:HR second playthrough soonish, so I think I'm gonna grab this DLC. I've heard good things.

Edit: To the guy above, the episodes are amazing and better than 4 in many ways. Yes.

 

[Erico]

Got the Oddworld Oddboxx from crafting my coal. Not too shabby. THANKS STEAM

 

[Des0lar]

Yay or nay?

Yay

 

[Creamium]

Imagine doing the SMB achievement and getting only coal or a shitty coupon. Some of the levels seem even harder than the original kids ones, so I'll pass on this one.

 

[Lord British]

I'm available to gift the GTA Complete Pack for the UK price of £4.99 to those with Paypal, for the next hour or so.

 

[BY2K]

Not if Team Meat can't take back the SQL server.

It's not a accident if we can't access it. The SQL server is accessible to anyone who knows how. Someone from SA tried to warn them, but Team Meat acted like it wasn't a problem.

Now, someone hacked the server and we can't access the level. Might be just today, might be for the week or the rest of the sale.

I barely have any of the games required for these gift objectives.

Yeah. Just read that. That's crap then.

I figured people were just complaining cause it was difficult. Broken is a whole other story.

 

[I H8 Memes]

6. Why?

I guess I have to wait to try to convince you to craft it. : (

 

[ultron87]

Command and Conquer 4 or Red Alert 3?

I'd like to use your services.

 

[Divius]

I crafted before and got some shitty 10% OFF something-you-absolutely-do-not-want coupon. I will probably end up crafting again, cuz meh, why not.

they haven't yet... there on my wishlist

 

[Piano]

Universe Sandbox - worth it?

"Hacked" would imply that there was some security to evade. People can just waltz right in.

I do remember hearing about the vulnerabilities. Amusing how it finally got hacked today. Someone was *waiting* for it to become a daily sale/achievement.

 

[kai3345]

o god last seven coal, do I craft, trade or hope I win the prize drawing?

 

[iNvid02]

grand prize is insane lol

imagine something even crazier, lifetime subscription to get every single new game forever

damn

 

[smokeymicpot]

Every time I got a coupon it is for a game that has a better deal then the coupon it's self.

 

[Rufus]

A special kind of luck.

 

[Tempy]

So the Winter Sale will end on January 2nd right?

And the blue coupons will be valid on January 2nd right?

I'm betting there will be a window of opportunity where you will be able to stack those coupons on top of winter sale discounts.

 

[Kabouter]

Universe Sandbox - worth it?

I would say no. The game itself is cool and everything, but I'm having horrendous stability problems :/. Can't seem to run it for more than a few minutes without problems. Took three tries to even start it the first time.

 

[Thoraxes]

Deus Ex on sale?

I asked for this.

 

[dose]

Odd question, but does anyone know if there are many people still playing COD2 online? I used to play it a shitload at lunchtimes some time ago and fancy picking it up on Steam

 

[kai3345]

Just won Drakensang, is it any good?

 

[Chavelo]

Dat Super Meat Boy Great Gift Pile achievement... Yeah...

fuckthatshit.jpg

 

[jakershaker]

Just won Drakensang, is it any good?

Great classic RPG. Well worth playing.

 

[moop1167]

50% off LA Noire... how much was it off during the daily? I doubt I'll ever buy this game regardless.

Nah, probably just one email saying: YOU ARE WINNER

Imagine sorting all those games and then having your categories get fucked up.

 

[kamspy]

Deus EX DLC is balls to the walls awesome. If I knew it was this awesome I would have been there day 1 for $15. Totally worth it. Might be the best bit of gameplay in DXHR.

How is New Vegas in the story/character department? My main problem with Skyrim is I genuinely find the plot and characters uninteresting. I enjoy the exploration and other stuff, but it's seriously the first game I've ever played where I'm skimming through a bunch of the events. And how is the combat system?

Today is your lucky day.

I disliked Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Skyrim for similar reasons. It's like they had no souls if there is such a thing for videogames. Fortunately New Vegas isn't developed by Bethesda, but by Obsidian which are composed of many former members of those who created the original two Fallouts and Planescape Torment to name a few games. These guys know their RPG's and their games always have compelling stories and writing, not to mention solid RPG components.

The writing and the characters are some of the strongest parts of New Vegas, and you can influence the world in ways which simply aren't possible in Bethesda's games. There is much more freedom to carve your path and multiple play-throughs are encouraged because it's impossible to see and do everything on one play-through.

If you played Fallout 3 the combat is pretty similar with V.A.T.S and all but the addition the DT system and ironsight aiming put's it over the top, along with the different ammo types.


In short: Buy it and the DLC if you can. It's more of a RPG than any of Bethesda's games.

When buying steam stuff as a gift, if it's dlc that you don't own the base game for, will it come up with "unexpected error"? My mom has been buying steam stuff for me this holiday and I wanted to get some FNV and Civ V DLC today but it rejected the order.
