Steam Holiday Gift Pile!

[Extreme Angle]

I got Counter Strike source :D
What did you get?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Orcs Must Die!!!!!!
Portal 2
Metro 2033
Bunch of Heroes

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Jesus, up to 320 games.

[Kane Knight]

Bunch of Heroes. only thing in the bunch I gave a shit about.

Jesus, up to 20 games!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Might have to give Old Republic a rest with the gift pile going on as well. Earn selected achievements and get a free game/coupon or coal. With coal, you can either get an entry into the prize draw (grand prize is every game on Steam) or use 8 lumps to make a gift and all the gifts are tradeable.

[Xero]

Been on a big Indy kick of late. Just got Block that Matter so far, but I'm sure I'll be getting more. Also got the Humble Indy Bundle the other day.

[Jura]

I've been eyeing Bunch of Heroes yesterday. How is it so far?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

No idea, heard good things and impulse bought at that price so I'm not sure yet.

[Jura]

I've just watched a video of it. It's only $2.49 so what the hell.

Saints Row The Third is on sale until January 2nd.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Almost everything is on sale on these sales. The trick is to check the daily deals and don't buy outside the daily deals until the last day of the same as they may be on one of them and have even more savings.

[Kane Knight]

I've just watched a video of it. It's only $2.49 so what the hell.

2.50 + solid reviews (well, solid feedback) are the reasons I bought it.

I'd be able to say more, but I'm hooked on Dungeon Defenders.

[Extreme Angle]

I just bought Bunch of Heroes...
What I meant by 'get', is what gifts.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Purchased:

Half Life 2 Episode 1 & 2
Red Orchestra 2
Duke Nukem Forever (What? £3.74...)
Costume Quest

Doing gift cheevos over the weekend more than likely.

[Extreme Angle]

Geez... Getting past wave 20 was nuts... managed to get 800k or something and got our team the achievement.

[Boomer]

Dungeons of Dredmor is so worth a little more than a dollar. One of my favorite games of the year.

DoD is a Rogue-like; it's a dungeon-crawl where (by default) death is permanent. The farther down you get in the dungeon, the more ridiculous things get, and the game basically leaves it up to you to figure out how to play the game effectively. Tons of items don't have descriptors on them, so you have to figure out what they do by trial-and-error.

I only got to the sixth floor on any of my characters, but it was always a blast to try new abilities out each time. I definitely got sad losing some of my characters, but it was more fun for me knowing that death could be behind any door.

Probably going to start playing it again, now that I need something over the holidays to play while I'm away from home.

I haven't played it in a while, but I can back up that it's well worth 86 pence/whatever it's going for in the US.

[Boomer]

Just bought the DLC for 87 cents; didn't even know it had any. I bought the game the day it came out for five bucks, and it was well worth that amount.

[Boomer]

Was considering buying a gift copy for you, but I guess not.

[Extreme Angle]

Bought it

[ClockShot]

Thanks for the heads up guys.

Picked up Witcher 1 & 2 for $25 all together.

[Boomer]

The Witcher is fucking fantastic. Picked up W2 as well today, though from another website that had it for a few dollars cheaper, but still got it attached to Steam. I love Steamworks games.

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

Gifts so far:

Random useless coupon
Lump of coal
Portal 2

Purchases so far:

None

[FearedSanctity]

Gave me HL2:Ep2 and coal. Don't have any of the games to do the objectives

[VSG]

Bought Portal 1,2 for $8 and Max Payne 1,2 for $3.5.

[VSG]

Any of the indy packs any good? Considering getting Super Meat Boy also.

[Emperor Smeat]

I think if you buy the Humble Indie Bundle set you get all the soundtracks for those games for free as a bonus. It also has a grandfather clause that if any game in the set was purchased before, you still get that game's soundtrack for free.

[DS]

Yeah definitely get the Humble Bundle (http://www.humblebundle.com/) (#4 includes Super Meat Boy). You pay what you want and can determine where the money goes.

There's also Indie Royale (http://www.indieroyale.com/) which includes some games that will have upcoming achievements for the Gift Pile. Again, you pay what you want.

All the games can be activated through Steam (if that needed to be said).

[VSG]

Thanks!

[Kane Knight]

Super Meat Boy is fucking awesome. A shame my save file's lost.

If it isn't any good...:foc:

[Extreme Angle]

Coal from DiggleNog

[FearedSanctity]

Same

[Extreme Angle]

Dunno whether it's worth keeping the 7 coal or going for a gift...

[Xero]

FYI: if you pay above the average for the humble indie bundle 4 (think it's $5 or so), it now includes bundle 3 with a few more games. So glad i got it.

[ThatsMyEagerFace]

Bah gawd... I can't participate because (apparently) TF2 doesn't count as a game anymore :p

[Iop]

It's a pile alright, a pile of s***!

[Xero]

Hate the Steam Holiday sale. Never know what to play. :( #firstworldproblems

Here's a list of all the gifts that can be randomly picked: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3433246&pagenumber=709#post398758033

And if you're interested, here are all the achievements (including the upcoming ones) that give you gifts. http://steamtreasurehunt.wikia.com/wiki/The_Great_Gift_Pile

You should get a gift for each one, even if you have them completed. So feel free to get a jump on some of them.

[Jura]

Arkham City is only $25.

[VSG]

Ya saw that. I am considering Deus Ex as well.

[Jura]

I think I'll wait until January.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, wait on Deus Ex VSG, it might be in the daily sales too.

Grabbed Grotesque Tactics 1&2, Defense Grid and Neverwinter Nights 2 Platinum on this days sales. Wallet beginning to feel abused and we have over a week of this left.

[Boomer]

I keep hoping Divinity II will get cheaper in one of these sales, but I have too many games in my backlog like it, so it will have to wait.

Nothing today from Steam, but I did get Deus Ex and the DLC from Gamersgate for 13, and its Steamworks just like Witcher 2. Picked up another useless coupon getting achievements - 50% off a game that is currently 75% off.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Bought Blur today. Leaving it at that.

Holy shit is Dungeons of Dredmor addicting.

Just got Limbo too. So far I got 50% off a Valve game and Half Life 2 (which I don't need), as well as 2 pieces of coal.

It's also a good time to get any DLCs at a cheaper price for games you already own.

[Extreme Angle]

Got 50% off the oddbox when I redeemed my coal :/

[Boomer]

Yeah, 9 coal for me, along with a 50% off Valve and 40% of Serious Same: TSE. Turned in 7 to get 60% off Magicka.

I honestly just want a game, even if I own it already. These coupons don't make much sense when you can just get them cheaper now.

That's why the coupons don't work until Jan 2nd. I've got all coal and traded it in for 50% off of L4D2. Also won 50% off Singularity.

Bought Renegade ops, Wings of Prey and Hard Reset today.

[Boomer]

That's what I'm saying. Why should I want to even use or gift these coupons when anyone can get almost any of these games for cheaper right now? I mean maybe if you were broke enough to not be able to afford it now, but it isn't like the coupons might be something you would use anyway. I'm not even sure I could find anyone to trade these with for a decent return.

Team Fortress 2 gear. It is the only thing I can imagine trading for the coupons.

[Boomer]

Just picked up Dead Island for 13 and NBA2K12 for 10 on Amazon. Dead Island is Steamworks. Third game I've done that with this week.

[Extreme Angle]

Used my gf's account to get all the stuff. She got Half life 2 :D

[FearedSanctity]

I've got:

4 piece of coal
Half-Life 2: Episode 2
50% off Limbo
50% off Recettear

And I don't want any of it :mad:

Better than the coal I keep getting.

[Jura]

Can you trade these coupons and coal items?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Better than the coal I keep getting.

No it isn't. I would rather have a prize draw entry than 50% off farming simulator.

And yeah Jura, you can.

[VSG]

Maybe it's an indicator of your true calling in life :cool:

[Testicle]

Dungeons of Dredmor is fantastic, might be the best $3.74 purchase I have made.

[Boomer]

They added five floors with the expansion, and I'm super surprised that I just finished the 8th floor an hour ago. Taking a break for tonight, but this is by the farthest I've taken one character. I've already maxed four skill trees. Only had one really close death experience so far too, right near the beginning.

[Xero]

Have a played of 12 hours so far. It's really amazing, and I've only managed to make it to the second floor. It's frustrating as hell, especially when you die from something stupid after owning a monster zoo, but it's so fun.

Even for full price (Like $7 with the expansion) it's a ridiculous value. A lot of full price games don't even have that kind of staying power with me (especially when the campaign is only 8 hours).

[VSG]

Batman: Arkham Asylum is 75% off. Too bad my processor might not cut it well when everything else seems more than enough :'(

[VSG]

Also if anyone has an extra HL2: Ep 1, lemme know.

[Jura]

I've bought games that I haven't played still. It's all good.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

We can bitch about the coupons a lot, but to be honest, those achievements have made me pick up some games that I wouldn't have gotten around to for a while and some of them are great.

Going to play the fuck out of:

Renegade Ops
EYE (That game is fucked up, but can't wait to get some 32 player co-op going)
Hard Reset
Demolition Inc
Dungeons of Dreadmore
PAYDAY The Heist
Jamestown

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Just to put the coupons into perspective, it's better than the iTunes giveaway.

My iPhone just tried to push a free Coldplay gig video onto me *shudder*

[The Destroyer]

Good shout on Demolition Inc. Quite fun.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Highly recommend Sonic Generations, Rock of Ages and Bastion at those prices.

[VSG]

Gonna get Farcry 1 and 2, contemplating Fallout 3 and Sonic Generations

[RoXer]

Might get Bastion maybe.

Got enough games to play though

[Boomer]

Bastion is a top five game for me this year, I think. Listened to that soundtrack more than just about anything.

[Boomer]

Got another coupon for a game I own too (Revenge of the Titans). Took me a while to remember I owned it already, from one of the HIBs.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Also, fuck Beat Hazard. Whoever designed that game knows nothing about visual subtlety.

[Boomer]

I think I read that you can turn it down if you buy Ultra, but I kinda love how hard it is to focus on everything onscreen. Shit is popping off almost 100% of the time in that game. Was worried it would play too much like Geometry Wars too, and its dissimilar enough for me to play it when I get back home. I don't listen to music much these days anyway.

[VSG]

That Game of Thrones game looks good but has pretty bad reviews. Dunno, confused about it.

[VSG]

So for Bastion: Soundtrack Edition, do you just get to download the soundtrack separately or is it the only one with in-game soundtrack?

[Boomer]

I would imagine you would get a download for the soundtrack separately. There is an in-game soundtrack thing, but that's just part of the game.

[VSG]

Ya, I confirmed that and just bought the game alone.

[Boomer]

Dredmor update: 10th floor. 9th floor was fucking hard. 10th floor has been much easier so far. Muscle Diggles are the hardest enemies I've seen so far. Don't fuck with them.

[Extreme Angle]

50% off AudioSurf... Gay

[FearedSanctity]

So who else just typed "I really like the game, but I couldn’t find the stupid cake" for Portal for their recommendation?

[Extreme Angle]

Lol... I just wrote something shitty about bunch of heroes...
50% off Witcher Enhanced Edition for crafting 7 coal :/
Update*
Just got Lego Batman, care to trade?

[Boomer]

Bought KOTOR out of convenience, as well as Sequence and some Dawn of War 1 stuff. I had the DoW stuff pirated because Steam didn't have it when I first looked, and I haven't gotten to it yet, so I figured it was worth my purchase. No idea when I'm going to feel like playing it though.

Sequence looks great, especially for a dollar. Don't care for DDR stuff, but it has enough else going on to be interesting.

Still going in DoD. Floor 11 will be completed without issue. Worried about future levels with lots of elemental damage...pretty much the reason why floor 9 kicked my ass.

[VSG]

Buying KOTOR, Jedi Knights pack and probably Battlefront 2. There will be issues with Windows 7 requiring patches and other way arounds though :(

[VSG]

Ok has anyone here managed to run KOTOR on Win 7? Seeing only mixed reactions online.

[Testicle]

Got to floor 10 in DoD and then saved and quit. When I try to load it back it crashes. I've read that this is a common problem. Pretty depressing.

[Boomer]

Died on floor 11 unexpectidely. Used a portal to get to the last bit of the floor I needed to explore, and just got overwhelmed. Tried scaring them away and going invisible, and it didn't work out. Oh well. Kinda done with rolling a melee only character. I would love to try out some of the magic stuff, but it seems to make you so fragile it worries me.

Awesome game though. Definitely need a way to heal yourself somewhere in your skilltree. Was hoping the fungi skill tree would allow me to make more healing mushrooms, but those mushrooms heal like 7 HP. Surprisingly good tree though, definitely made me withstand just about any crazy traps.

[Boomer]

You'd figure I would have learned enough to roll through this game considering this is my 4th or 5th character, but the game is tough and too many situations can go sour quickly. Makes me want to keep going back though.

[Testicle]

Vegan dominates.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Ok has anyone here managed to run KOTOR on Win 7? Seeing only mixed reactions online.

Yeah, for a bit. The lack of widescreen killed it for me and I had to turn it off though.

[VSG]

What did you have to do? Do you know if I can just play it in Win XP compatibility mode?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Nothing, it just worked.

Read something about it only liking modern NVidia cards though and having to fiddle if you have AMD or Intel GFX.

[Boomer]

Vegan dominates.

That was added in the expansion, and it's one of the few things I haven't tried out yet.

[RoXer]

Might get Bastion maybe.

Got enough games to play though

Reminder to get this before Jan 2nd.

Because I was a bonehead who saw this the morning of and considered it but then forgot about it.

Original Zelda style dungeons with a very moving narritive.

I'm not going to just spend it willy nilly. I need a much more in-depth review than that Hasney. :n:

[FearedSanctity]

Rise of Immortals

Get 10 assists in a match,
How to:

This is a MOBA-style game. Simply play PvE (Player vs. AI) and make sure to hit the enemy champs without getting the kill to secure an assist. Select the "Tomb of the Old One" PvE so that the game is 3v3 instead of 1v1.

[Boomer]

The Binding of Issac looks very dull, bland, and brown.

Convince me otherwise, Boomer and Hasney

Binding of Isaac is pretty great (I guess I'm late on trying to convince you though). I will admit though, it does not have as much replay value as I would like. It does have a ridiculous amount of items to find and try out, but most of them suck. The rogue-like comparison is certainly apt. The only Zelda-like thing about it is the dungeon layout.

It was probably worth whatever it was on sale for though.

[Extreme Angle]

Yeah it's great. Traded LEGO Batman for L4D2

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

The Binding of Isaac is incredibly addictive. Even when you die, and have to start again, the randomness keeps it from feeling like a chore.

[Extreme Angle]

Can't get through it.
Was unstoppable but the awesomeness of my pickups made me feel invincible..

I just sat down and crafted all 217 coal (31 items).

I am livid. How the hell can this supposedly by random...31 rolls and 30 coupons? Unbelievable.

Yeah that doesn't seem random at all but he was a sucker though. To get all the achievements you need to buy a lot of games just to get an achievement and that's how they get your money, if you're gullible enough.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Loving the butthurt on Steams forums.

"I PAID MONEY FOR VIDEOGAMES FOR THESE ACHIEVEMENTS AND ALL I GOT WAS COAL AND COUPONS!!! WHAT BULLSHIT THIS IS!!"

Why don't they just throw all their money at lottery tickets?

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

Buying a game solely for the achievement is beyond moronic.

[Extreme Angle]

I bought games for the achievements if they looked appealing. Don't regret any of my purchases... £0.99 for the majority of them, I thought to myself how much Arcade machines cost and that's only for 5 minutes
