So far I got the ones from Sequence, E.Y.E, Super Meat Boy and Jamestown.

Will try to do Killing Floor next. Shouldn't be too hard.

The L4D2 one and the Poker Nights one sound annoying :(
 
So do we know for sure if it's going to be a ticket system like summer. I sorta scared to start unlocking the achievements now and then not get anything when the event goes live.
We don't know what they will be doing this year. But I wouldn't worry about getting the achievements early as some of them are impossible NOT to get.

Sorry for being a lazy a-hole, but I'm on my iPhone and cba to skim the thread.

Two questions:
- Why are people so obsessed over these new achievements?
- What day will the actual holiday sales begin?

- FREE STUFFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Monday

Would some of the achievements be attainable in the demos for some games? (I'm looking at you, hoard)

The Sequence one is a level one monster. Probably the easiest achievement yet. I was hoping for a tough one to make a bunch of people mad, but I'm cool with this.

Question

Bulletstorm isn't available on Steam for me for who knows what reason. How can I find out if it goes on sale if I can't even see it so I have a friend from the states gift it to me?

You can visit the US store by going to http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=us

You can't buy anything, but you can see all the US prices and games.

Alternatively, you can go to www.steamprices.com which compares prices across all regions. Really handy.

Decided to try for Poker Night achievement while listening to a podcast.


I went through half of the Tested podcast and all of Weekend Confirmed and never saw three kings ever.

What the fuck Telltale.

Hm, my Beat Hazard 'Survive Christmas 5' doesn't show up in the achievement overview. Anyone else got this? (I got the thingy in game for it)
 
The Toki Tori achievement during the summer sale was my favorite of that bunch. The way they took existing levels and added this new objective that had to be accomplished in a totally different way seems like the kind of thing that could only have been in the game all along and waiting for that moment.

The current Toki Tori achievement is almost that fun, but its emphasis on speed is at odds with the loose and finicky controls. The controls do not do precision. But I've got nine of the ten snowflakes and I'm going to give the last one a while yet before I give up and look at a guide.

Hasn't been added to Steam yet, only in-game to make sure it works. Just wait and try when it is in the achievement list.

Quick question about these achievements... Do those who get them get entered into a drawing like these daily giveaways there already are? Or is there is there a specific goal that if you reach you will get something?

If it is the former is there even really a point in doing it?

Nope, I did it from the safe room on the first floor through the "battle" menu and it unlocked.
I just did the same thing again, this time without taking any damage, and got the achievement. Who knows, might have been a glitch or I was too slow the first time. No matter.

Wow, Jamestown is really, really cool. Just beat the game in one sitting and it was the perfect amount of difficult. Loaded it up just for the Xmas achievement, but the game really surprised me. Excellent stuff.

Jesus, that Champion Online game has over 700 achievements. I guess getting the christmas one is going to be complicated too if you've never played the game before.

So that Greed Corp christmas achievement is easier than it sounds. Basically create a battle, add 2 local players (you'll control them) and pick the 1st map (it's a snow map). I pretty much let the 2 other players destroy themselves and got the achievement.

I've got 25 achievements so far. Left 4 Dead 2, Swords & Soldiers HD, and Poker Night at the Inventory + Free2Play games are the only ones left that I own and are unlockable at the moment. I hope more of them become available either tomorrow or Monday, since I'll be on vacation during almost the entire duration of the sale.

I got the the two BEAT ones. JINGLE.BELLS is as easy as they get. MEAT BOY SMELLS was a bit harder; the game really isn't meant to be played with a gamepad.
