I dunno why people were expecting the lead platform to get it in August or something, the month and a half as it is still stinks.

How do people work out the potential bundles through SteamDB?
I'm bored and fancy doing some detective work.

That Australian price... ouch:
Universal sub, though. Thanks, Scamco!
Edit: Oh, right, didn't see the gifting/trading flag.

I'm fucking crestfallen!
I was bidding my time, trying to 100% spec ops and leveling a new char in Diablo 3!
Fuck it then! almost 2 months time for another new game in the meanwhile!

Oh, how do you do that?
What does that mean for physical copies? I guess since this is delayed by a month and a half I might as well just wait for my UK Black Armour Edition to ship to the US...

you think PC is the lead platform? That's cute...

Zero fucks given about potential pre-order deals, bought so hard.
It's a shitty practice regardless but this actually isn't exclusive preorder DLC. These are weapons that can be found in the game normally.
Fuck this shit. If everything is going to be region locked then give me regional pricing as well. Only in Brazil games are cheaper.
2k Games does it already even if the rest of the stores are charged in US$ and not in the local currency (Brazil is still cheaper though).
There are several other subs, too, they're just not in active duty at the moment, so the matter of whether or not physical copies get the extras advertised on the store page is something Scamco needs to clarify.
Well, I can confirm that you can play games that display this warning anywhere (I'm in Germany right now I can play MGR besides of what is said on the store page). I guess this warning must refer to the activation of gifted copies.

Casual Hardcore is one of my favorite "adult" genres
We are just too few for Steam to care it seems. (And currency problems). Then again, Blizzard does support AR$.

For some reason the MGSV song started going off in my head when I looked at that image.

Since were on the topic of Dark Souls.....
I had a friend buy it when it was 5 on XBL and then he told me the game was bad because he kept dying and it was too hard. Then I had all of my other friends come in and basically agree with him. Screw em if they can't get it they can be left in the cold. Even told them I would love to help them since part of the fun is talking to others about the game.

Deep web shit brah
This topic often comes up. I personally like DS, but if weren't for glimpses from the various wikis, I probably never would have made it past the Capra Demon. The game is challenging and rewards exploration and experimentation, even if that exploration and experimentation can get a bit convoluted (obscure item A from area B drastically helps survivability in area F), and some people (like myself) just aren't mentally built for it.
Well, Steam's own store has just the one sub, but with the gifting/trading flag applied you'd need to use a VPN to activate a gift copy received from a South American or an Eastern European user, which, since you're technically skirting region-specific pricing on Steam itself, isn't something I'd recommend. As for retail keys, I'd wait until closer to release before looking into resellers as Scamco may choose to tie Eastern European keys to a region-locked sub.
This is what pisses me off the most about this: "Brazil gets cheaper games? Let's fuck up the entire continent then!"
It depends on the game, most are for gifted copies, but there are some that actually require being in the region (although that mostly happens with RU+CIS games)
Not to give you advice, but you should smother them in their sleep.
You would be doing them a favor.
Yeah, you are probably right
Like you say, if Blizzard can do it to sell just a few games then Valve should try to convince publishers to do the same. They could at least match the brazilian price even in US$.

Dark Souls preordered faster than JaseC gets bored of his avatar.
They're already Hollow, after all.

You need new friends. j/k
I still need to play more, but from my personal experience the game is not that hard but totally unforgiving, just need to watch enemies patterns and pay attention to the things. Maybe they are trying to approach the game as if it was a God of War or any other hack'n slash game?
As much as I love pre-order-exclusive DLC, I wish more devs would repeat what Ubi did with Rayman 2.
Well, not exactly: it's the same notice that's put on store pages when the onlyallowrunincountries flag is in use, so some due diligence is needed lest you make a grave mistake.
It's almost that time of the week.

This article by Patrick Klepek sums up my thoughts on Dark Souls' undeserved reputation for masochistic difficulty that (in addition to not being true) completely overshadows all of the amazing qualities the game has.
Is this a Steam exclusive offer?
Shouldn't be, those are the same Black Armour preorder DLC early access items that every retailer has for the console versions.

I know they are. I'm certain he was trying to play it like Skyrim. I'll see if I can convince them on trying it again I probably can. Though it might be a uphill battle, None of them have really been much into the games I like. AKA games that require a little more work to play.

In all seriousness, the genre Dark Souls is in is fairly esoteric despite its popularity.
Sorry, should have been more specific. Do the other PC digital stores have that same pre-order bonus?
DS2 doesn't seem be up on other sites just yet.
Edit: Oh, wait, it's up on GamersGate and, yes, the weapons + digital extras are included:

Dark Souls II comes out at a terrible time, last month of a rather busy semester jam packed with exams and assignments. I won't be able to join until mid June at the earliest

Yeah shame that no one I know can get into it.
My Dad and Brother even tried playing it and just gave up. Saddens me to no end.
