is there a way to send a steam game to someone if you don't know their email address and you aren't their friend on steam? Want to PM it to someone.

I tried gifting it via email to my personal email address but it just comes up with a link to click - is there no way to get a steam code out of that, which they can then redeem?

Yeah, Deep Silver has non-EU codes locked from EU. One of most aggressive region locking.

Some people might know that I've been tracking KSes for a long time, so I have a really good idea of what's going on. I wanted to call attention to some cool KSes that are coming up on completion this year, that are going to have really good reviews on release, and that have been transparent in communicating with fans:

That Which Sleeps - This is like a digital board game text adventure card game visual novel event strategy game. Kinda hard to describe. Set in a world plainly inspired by Lovecraft and other early-20th pulp horror writers. Solid updates with emphasis on polishing the UI, which in a game like this is paramount. Funded October 2014 for $85,000 with intended release March 2015

Jon Shafer's At the Gates - This is a Civilization style turn-based strategy empire building game focused around clans. Really good communication the entire time through development except recently (radio silence since November). Funded 2013 for $106,000 with target release June 2014. Great visual style and thoughtful mechanics. Hope the recent silence doesn't indicate development trouble.
Click to expand...

These two are projects I've been following. That Which Sleeps is over a year late now. There was nearly half a year of silence with KS updates but they recently started posting small updates again. I wouldn't say it's especially well run KS project at this point. Beta was finally supposed to(?) launch late last year but it has still not launched so I doubt the game launches this year. I wonder what their financial situation is or will be a year from now if the game is still in development. It is pretty ambitious though and looks great so obviously I'm very much looking forward to it.

At the Gates is obviously years late and currently has a targeted release date of Q1 2017. Updates have been really slow with months and months of silence between them. However, when there is an update, it's a glorious one, a huge wall of text about.. everything. Because it's so late, it's financially in a bad place. Jon Shafer sold his house, car and retirement account last year to keep the project going. He didn't want external funding and decided selling everything was the best course of action. Again, the game is quite ambitious and I'm really looking forward to the final release if it ever happens, and I really hope it does.

Yo SteamGAF, I need your help. I'm looking for an indie game announced in 2015, which was described as Earthbound like, and it had nice lighting and sprite work. It was about a father and daughter and I think it was Taiwanese or Chinese.

Any help ? :")

EDIT; Nevermind I found it, it's Eastward.

Holy shit you guys. You actually went ahead and did it... What an incredibly kind gesture from all of you who pitched in!

I'm not gonna lie, a part of me thought your PM was going to end up being another April fools joke... like the ultimate alley-oop prank. I think I've developed trust issues.

But seriously, thank you guys so much. This is the nicest thing a stranger (or group of strangers) has ever done for me. Wow!

We are mean, but not THAT mean XD
Enjoy it! It looks like it's going to be awesome.

I still need to buy Dark Souls 2, but I've seen it cheap for PS3, so I will buy it next time.
Also, does anybody know if retail Dark Souls 3 has a Steam key?

Well, probably the same as it was at launch given it's three days old. ;) What happened is that pre-orders went live late last year but the instead of releasing as a full game it's now an Early Access title. Worse still is that this isn't even the first time that's happened (hello, Men of War 2), although it's more of a minor annoyance now thanks to the refund system.

Only heard bad things about it so far. But it's Early Access so it might get better and the price itself is pretty good (launched a few days ago for 54,99€) so if you want to take the risk... :p

I am not even sure if I am going to play this game. Maybe I should invest money on Stardew Valley instead

Wish I got faster internet, kinda in the mood to play some Rage but it'd take like 6hrs to download, by the time it finishes I'll probably want to play metal gear rising instead

or do I want to play wolfenstein

I do have one but it says:

"We noticed that you're shopping from United States of America. This item is not available for sale due to geographical limitations."

Even when I use a VPN. I guess because im logging in with my regular Amazon account. Too lazy at the moment to make new one lol

Wolf is at least 30 GB though
Click to expand...

yeah, they're all huge, Rage and Wolfenstein are both games I got half way lol, but haven't gotten back to them because of the download size, and I remember Rage required some tweaking to fix those pop-ins, so I never did bother redownloading

Click to expand...

It's ugly and probably not optimized. Runs fine with my gtx 660 until I'm starting to fill my first park expansion and stuff gets busy.

On the other hand it's already functional, as in, it's a game actually working. Not a buttload of content for now but the park management is there. A nice tutorial and a small campaign with missions, and a few scenarios.

As it is now it's basically a RCT3 ugly upgrade mod with better paths and a coaster creator that I acutally can use. I still like it, but the lack of budget and the troubled project history shows.

Since people in the steam reviews can't be bothered saying more constructive things than "BUGS! UGLY! NOT PLANET COASTER LMAO" I guess devs will have trouble being motivated to fix things.

Edit: Actually I think the best way I can describe it is basically as if an incomplete RCT 4 was released in early access 6 years ago. As I have replayed 3 last year it doesn't bother me though.

Episode 1: Eh, why is this praised again?
Episode 2: Maybe this could be alright, I guess...
Episode 3: Damn, this must be why people like this game, this really has potential
Episode 4: Hot damn, this is going places!
Episode 5: Well, that happened... why do people like this game again?
Click to expand...
Well, that pretty much nails how I've felt about the first 3 episodes except I thought episode 2 was a bit better than you give it credit for

I suppose I should temper my expectations for the last episode then.
