Worse than Coal: Steam Gift Pile trading

Dec 19, 2011#1

figmentPez

I've got a coupon no one wants, but hopefully there will be some good finds during the Steam Holiday Sale.

Use this thread to trade games and coupons for something you really want.

It wasn't a prize, but I do have an extra copy of Titan Quest Gold I'm willing to trade for a decent offer (Psychonauts and Costume Quest are what ~~I'm planning to buy anyway~~ bought, bundle FTW.)

I've got a coupon for 25% off any Valve title. Usable from Jan. 2nd to March 1st. Not usable on any game published after Jan. 2nd.

Free to good home! Just let me know if you want it. First come, first serve.

I got the 33% off Valve and 50% off of some 5 dollar indie game called Rush.

I got 50% a Rockstar game. They don't make any games I'd actually play though. I also have a copy of Terraria floating around.

I have a copy of Audiosurf to trade, will consider pretty much anything. Also the 25% off any valve game that everyone seems to have and 50% off Atom Zombie Smasher.

I got the original Left 4 Dead and the obligatory 33% off valve products coupon.

Ooh, I've never played the first Left 4 Dead. It's on my wishlist, in fact.
I don't have anything to give in return, though, sadly.

Question. Half-Life 2 and The Midsadventures of PB Winterbottom are in my gift bag. If I give them away, do I lose them to play for myself? Because I enjoy replaying HL2 once in awhile...and waiting for a better laptop to play Winterbottom (ran rather slow for me).

I can't trade it yet, Overflight, but when the sale is over and I can trade it I'll send you my 50% coupon. Use it for Sonic.

...aren't these coupons only valid during the sale?

Oh wait, they're only valid AFTERWARDS. Anyway, deal. Thanks!

Edit: BTW, is your coupon valid for all games, just Sonic or only Valve games? I have one of the latter as well, just want to make sure we're all on the same page.

Dec 20, 2011#12

Dave

All Valve games. But I almost never buy full price games and I don't see myself buying a lot in the near future. And it's only good until March 1 so I don't think I'll be able to use it.

So no Sonic. I'm sorry. I didn't read it right.

If they're just in your gift passes, then you won't be able to play them after giving them away. If you've got them in your Steam Library, but never installed, you can't gift them. If you've got them both places then you can gift your extra copy without losing what's in your library.

You WANT coal, it leads to free games. Each piece is an entry into the main contest. The grand prize of which is EVERY GAME ON STEAM.

They can also be redeemed for free games, which is better than these coupons for games I'll never play.

So, today's free achievement is in a DOTA/LoL clone... I've never played that genre before. Is it going to be difficult to get 10 assists? Am I just going to get slaughtered trying to play this?

Dec 22, 2011#26

Let's see. So far I've got 50% off a Valve game that Overflight may or may not want, 3 rocks...and TF2?!? What? Isn't that game free?

Vrii

Just got Orange Box. Already have HL2, but none of the expansions and such. Good deal, I guess!

I think that may leave me with an extra copy of the base game, though. And I would probably be willing to trade the whole thing if something interesting came along.

Wow, the Frozen Synapse achievement is so incredibly easy (create a custom skirmish where you have one machine gunner, and the enemy has no units at all. Instant win as soon as you end your first turn.)

Too bad inventories are completely down at the moment.

Oh, I also have a 25% coupon for Bethesda games - including Skyrim. So if anyone's planning to buy it, or is holding out for a price drop, maybe that's something they're interested in? I dunno.

Turns out the Rise of Immortals achievement is easy, but time consuming. A 3 man PvE game can stretch on forever, so it's not hard to get 10 assists, but it just drags. This type of game is not for me.

EDIT: I wish the inventory would work so that I could see what I got, and maybe make a trade at some point.

Oh, the inventory is working. You just can't see anything but coupons unless you're logged in. I got more coal. Uh, yay?

Blocks that Matter is currently 75%-off. What is the purpose of these coupons Valve? Are you hoping they'll still get traded to the few people who miss the entire sale?

I just got a coupon for a game that is normally $10 and is on sale today for $2. So my choices are to wait and use the coupon for $5 or get it today for $2.

This snow ball mode is what they chose to show off CrimeCraft with? Wow, that seems stupid. The mode is okay (one you re-bind the snowball fire to something reasonable, besides F1), but it doesn't give any indication what the game as a whole is like.

EDIT: And I got 50%-off Airline Tycoon 2... did not even know that was a game.

Crimecraft just seemed awful. I played a couple rounds of the snowballing and one of regular, then immediately uninstalled.

The Kringle Jammer minigame achievement in Atom Zombie Smasher was pretty fun. Tense, but not overly challenging.

I've got 9 coal now. I'm not sure if I want to craft some of it or not. I know I'm most likely to get a coupon, but it's not like having multiple coal really increases the odds of winning by that much.

Dec 25, 2011#64

I'd make something and keep the rest. Ten entries isn't that much more of a chance than 1 entry, in the grand scheme of things.

Still more coal.

One thing I'm finding common to all these F2P games is horrible UI. Good gravy, the menus and interaction on these things are awful. Cluttered, unintuitive, disorganized pieces of crap. Button choices seem almost random for how to use some of these menus.

The Rusty Hearts achievement isn't that hard, but I don't like the game. The controls feel stiff to me and there are much better 3rd person action games out there.

Plus, your first level is in the sewers... and you're proud of this? No... just, no. Bad game.

I actually got that TF2 one like two weeks back when they updated TF2 for the Smissmass event. Presents are about as rare as candy pails are during the Halloween event, which is to say not very. It's just they get picked up fast because of nature of the game.

Yeah, I got lucky and found him in ~40 minutes. The achievement didn't unlock though. There is a fix that works retroactively (it works, so I hope it's not a clever bit of malware). The game records your achievements, but fails to upload them to Steam because of bad coding.

What you're looking for is a "devil room", though how you're supposed to know it's called that, I have no idea. After you defeat a boss, there is a chance that a door will open up in addition to the hole in the floor leading to the next level. Inside the door will be an optional boss, and there is a chance that boss will be the Krampus (who is no pushover.)

I don't like that game. I really don't. It's ugly and intentionally cryptic. It's "storytelling" is ham-fisted and juvenile. I've heard people praising the soundtrack... but both Bastion and Trine 2 blow this game out of the water when it comes to music. Lots of soundtracks are better than this.

EDIT: Oh, and the gamepad "support" in the options is just some text telling you to use Joy2Key. Seriously? That is some major bullshit right there. Being "indie" is not an excuse for laziness.

~~I still have a copy of Bit.Trip Beat, and it's one of the achievements today. First one who sends me a message on Steam gets it.~~

Shipped off to someone from the Telltale Games forums.

Well, looks like this is where I top out. 22 achievements, 14 coal, 6 coupons and two utterly terrible games.

I think Steam is trying to tell somebody something but it has the wrong number.

I didn't get the chance to do most of them, I got about 6 achievements total.

I got a great game, but unfortunately, I already own it. Speaking of which, my copy of Left4Dead 1 is still up for grabs if anyone wants it. i don't even care about trading it. If you want it just send me a message with your steam ID.

Hey, I'd be interested in trying that one out, if you still have it. My handle is 01z.

Posted on the Steam forums by a Valve employee:
"We ran out of prizes and coupons from 3rd party publishers. The Great Gift Pile currently contains Valve games and coupons. Thanks to all for participating!"

If you don't care for Valve games or coupons, then don't bother crafting your coal.

The problem with the valve coupons aren't that the games are bad, on the contrary, they're great, but there are also very few of them and most people who have steam probably already have the heavy hitters such as L4D, HL2, and Portal

Anyone want a copy of Counter Strike:Source?

Absolutely no one.

Honestly, I think the coupons from Valve should have been "Good for 1 free hat, weapon, or key from the Mann Co. Store". It'd have gotten the newer TF2 players to look at the Mann Co. store and probably help increase sales.

:O

I'd definitely trade these coupons for hats.

You know what Valve should've done? They should have made it possible to burn a coupon to get a piece of coal.

Well, today is the first day you can supposedly use them, but I couldn't.

Coupons do apply to one-day deals, giving a percentage off the sale price.

You guys can send me ALL the coupons or anything extra that you guys don't want! My steam account is poor!

Only at the time of purchase, or if it's in reserve, for example if it was a game that came in a package when you bought it, but you already owned it. It will tell you on the game page of your steam client if that copy can be gifted or not.

However, any "used" games can not be transferred at all.

Though, there was talk of a used game system at one point in time, I don't know if anything ever came of it.

ok. I havent downloaded it or of coursed played it because it was too big to download and i have the game as a retail which doesnt require steam.
