The Aussie and, I presume, German subs are censored.

They probably did cut out all Nazi symbolism stuff from the game...switched swastikas to something else and so on...

Games are still not really considered art over here and can not get away with that stuff.
Nazi stuff in Movies and TV series are mostly not a problem as long there are not propagating Nazi ideology (not a problem in movies like Schindlers List or Indiana Jones for example).

South Park never got cut for Germany, even episodes like the one where Cartman acts like Hitler and so on where never a problem so i can't think of another reason the game would be cut for Germany and Austria...

Uh wheres the BTA for Be Mine?

It was eaten by the nefarious monster known as "Generosity".

The Australian price is cheaper? What is this? Opposite day?

I'm honestly a little shocked The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is still just $19.95 here (compared to $60 in the US). I figured Acti would have hiked it up eventually. During the Winter Sale I helped a friend of my trader get a few copies of the game on the cheap -- it felt a little strange being on the other side of the fence for a change. ;)

Another winner. XD Have I mentioned that I really like your new avatar? Kind of makes up for the disappointment of JaseC abandoning Zany Saoirse for the current one, which kind of looks like she's getting ready to stick a large pipe cleaner up her nose. : (

I'm glad you like it. Give Saorise another mic she'll have a full mustache.

I tried to donate 1 usd to humble bundle as a test if my debit card will work or not. I know it has no money there so I expect an error. Imagine my surprise when it came through. Welp. Time to give some keys to SteamGAF then. Now reading that how to modbot thread.

Is it region locked? No? Then buy a billion of them and flip them for a profit.
Click to expand...

That takes so much effort though. I'm way too lazy to do it. I would end up having to go to shady websites and trading them for keys and.... meh

Also, that Triple Pack seems expensive (the regular price). The Double Pack has been 5 dollars a bunch of times already...

If I didn't have Bioshock 1 and 2, I'd buy it. But since I do and I'm not in any real hurry to play Infinite, I'll wait.

Edit: But if anybody wants it, I'll gladly help, as long as you pay the paypal tax on it. Just PM me for info.

Anyone read up on or played Dead State at all? Just wondering whether it'll be worth grabbing when it goes up later today on early access, seems neat.

huh, now I'm wondering which Version I got through trading. It wasn't region-locked so I guess it should be uncensored :-/
Click to expand...

The region-specific subs are tagged as such, plus they all have the onlyallowrunincountries flag so you would have noticed a bunch of red text when viewing the copy in your inventory.

On a related note, it'd be great if the licenses/subscriptions tab of the account history page showed the sub ids. I'd guess jshack could add this to Enhanced Steam by cross-checking the name of the sub against SteamDB's database, but in addition to taking quite some time for those with larger libraries (I assume), this approach wouldn't help in cases such as South Park pre-orders since at SteamDB's end the actual names of the subs are currently masked.

Holy shit at crafting special arrows in Far Cry 3. Makes me feel like Rambo. I might be using the bow exclusively now.

It really was fantastic. Fillion was criminally underused, really hoping he's in more.

Someone should take the idea of Far Cry 3 and turn it into an OG Predator the movie video game adaptation. Where you get to play as Ahnold in the jungle fighting the predator and random guerillas.

That reminds me that I still don't have a Steam copy of BioShock 1.

I remember saying I want a predator game with cry engine in one of the rambo threads, I wonder if it would work, you'd be doing your missions while knowing a predator is out there fucking with you and your teammates.

If Alien: Isolation is any good, I predict it happening within 3 years from now. Like the Forest, but with a Predator.

I know everyone is sick of it already, but here's another example of a bad pricing practice in Steam storefront, this time the culprit is 2K Games.
