So just to get this straightened out, we're supposed to get 2 gifts for checking the inventory right?

1 for the first time entering the gift pile section and then 1 for checking the inventory and completing that first challenge. That's what I was led to believe at least.

 

[Lkr]

about to get Fable i think..never played the series, not a big RPG guy, but my brother said its pretty fun...

 

[Iadien]

Guys,I am weak... I didn't follow the first rule... I just bought the World in Conflict complete edition for 13$. I doubt that this game will go on a daily and even if it does it probably won't go much lower.

You know it will now.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Only a few hundred, you need a game purchase to enter at all as well.

Now that list makes sense DAMN. Well I kno what I'm doing with all my coal lol.

 

[Tomodachi]

Does anybody know if (like with previous sales) we can complete achievements from previous days throughout all the sale?

I don't believe I received either one of them. The one for the Orcs Must Die achievement I did came right to me though. Strange.

it sucks

 

[fastford58]

Out of fucking nowhere....DAMN YOU GABE! DAMN YOU STrAIGht to HELL!

 

[Big-E]

I need to know how doable the Bunch of Heroes achievement is. If it is easy I will buy it.

 

[Snuggles]

Finally figured out how to get my free gift, it was a -33% coupon. Feels like a slap in the face, thanks Valve. Viewing my inventory reminded me that I have a few extra games in there, hmmm...

Were we? I got my 33% voucher and in my gift page it says you have completed 1 objective so far

If so, I want my other gift gabe!

I was about to ask this. I hope so.

And yeah... Dwarfs?! still up for trade if someone got a cheap game they don't fancy.

you wouldnt happen to not own half Life 2 or Lost Coast would you?

 

[PaulLFC]

I've only got a 33% Valve coupon. :/

Better than a 25% off Valve coupon...

 

[Boss Doggie]

Oh apparently the missing items are coal... but how come I can't see it?

 

[Derrick01]

I don't know maybe it was poor wording and it really meant the free gift you get is the first challenge. It only says 2 objectives for me.

 

[Snuggles]

you wouldnt happen to not own half Life 2 or Lost Coast would you?

I know for certain that I own Half Life 2, probably Lost Coast as well.

 

[Shanadeus]

Ugh, I can't unpack my gift... I think.
I got my Half-life 2: Episode 1 and assorted, but the gift is still in my inventory (and won't unpack).

Anyone else have this problem?

 

[kai3345]

Better than a game every person on the planet already owns

Like the other person I've got 2 gifts have Steam and Orcs Must die achievements.

I'm assuming its 1 or its glitched me out of a second Steam one.

 

[Mister Zimbu]

Actually maybe the -50% coupon I got was from the opening inventory achievement, and I didnt get the Orcs Must Die one yet. I'm confused.

 

[Iadien]

I haven't been able to view my steam inventory since the steam sale started. Awesome.

 

[Thoraxes]

I own all the Valve games already

 

[Tambini]

Hmm I don't know whether to buy Orcs must die..

I only really want it for the achievement..god I'm weak

 

[Relax.MX]

I have 3 achievement but only one gift...is normal?

 

[Nabs]

Hmm I don't know whether to buy Orcs must die..

I only really want it for the achievement..god I'm weak

It's really good

 

[Technosteve]

I own all the Valve games already

not Episode 3.......................................................................

 

[brain_stew]

I just got a copy of Portal 2 for clicking a button!?

Is this real life?

 

[Digishine]

50% of valvé games

 

[Hylian7]

Are you supposed to get one free coupon and one for achievement for looking the Steam inventory? My friend somehow got 2, and one is for "50% off May Payne" (yes, it has that misspelling)

 

[Lkr]

it sucks

the first? the third? both?
anything today that you recommend?

 

[Anony]

so the steam achievements? the list on the front is all of them?
if i do them now, would i get them when they're available?

 

[Speevy]

I just got a copy of Portal 2 for clicking a button!?

Is this real life?

You lucky bastard, where is my free copy of Portal 2?

Hell I don't even have a complimentary copy of the first one.

 

[MisterRoboto]

i got half life and trine, both of which i have, willing to gift..not gonna be by my comp though so just send me a PM if your interested and ill respond when i get back home



Edit- Trine is taken

wait what

 

[decaf]

(NOTE DO NOT USE A VPN, steam are very harsh about using proxies to get games
from other countries)

Whoa, really? I use my UK VPN all the time (I live in Japan) as all my bank accounts and cards are British, so it doesn't let me buy anything from the Japanese store. Surely that's not a big issue?

 

[SmithnCo]

I have 3 achievement but only one gift...is normal?

Same here, just got another objective and nothing but one gift so far, it seems to be happening a lot so it will hopefully get fixed soon.

 

[Mikeside]

hmm - I've done 3 of the objective things, but only got 2 gifts (both coupons)
anyone else had this problem?

 

[Iadien]

Hmm I don't know whether to buy Orcs must die..

I only really want it for the achievement..god I'm weak

It's fun, so it's not a waste.

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

I know this is pretty unrealistic, but would anyone be interested in trading The Last Remnant for one of my coupons (one for 33% off any Valve game and a pretty bad one for 50% off Max Payne 2)? Maybe if someone got TLR back when it was $10 or something.

 

[RoadHazard]

Oh Steam, you can update TF2 for me, but you can't show me my inventory? Great job!

 

[yanhero]

Does anyone have any suggestion for some good simple games? I gave my mom Plants vs Zombies and she loved it and finished it 100%, now she wants something else to play and I have no idea what else is good.

 

[tangmaster96]

I got one but it took it away and told me i had 0 portal 2 items

they're all terrible. this is not a joke post.

 

[Weenerz]

10% and 33% off a valve game, excellent. Ugh.

 

[Speevy]

I have 30 games after just a week of using this service. Wow.

Peggle?

It's really good

Okay, I'll bite

 

[masterkajo]

Wow... amidst all this crazy thing going on I actually played a game: Sanctum for the Christmas Achievement. Wow what an awesome game. It has been sitting in my library since one of the royal bundles.

Heard Orcs Must Die is similar. I guess, I will get that one as well too!

 

[Fou-Lu]

Don't listen to this man. Fable and Fable II are great, and Fable III isn't a bad game IMO. I enjoyed them all immensely.

Faerie Solitaire is a great simple game. I grabbed it cheap during a sale and have played it a bunch since.
