I figured it might be considering French to be a local language. I wasn't sure, though.

It seems like Steam has implemented this as an automatic message based on your language and the languages listed on the store page. And since Alien has no supported listed languages at all, everbody should see that right now.

Guys, quick question. My boyfriend who lives in the Bahamas bought me Child of Light on Steam and gifted it to me, however when I go to accept the gift it says
"This is a restricted gift which can only be redeemed in these countries: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Bahamas, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, Brazil"
So... Are we both screwed? If I accept it I can't redeem it and because Steam support is crap he probably can't get a refund?

Thanks! I'll give it a shot later
Have him logon to your account via web and accept it?
I'd try asking for a refund as you might get lucky. As for the warning, that's displayed on the store page and on the cart page, so I've no idea how he missed it, haha.
Edit: Oh, Liez's idea is a good one. That's what I get for posting at 3am.

After 102 hours, my first Dark Souls playthrough has come to an end! I have finally conquered this game including the DLC stuff! What an experience, I don't think I'll ever forget my time playing this game.
I'm tempted to start a playthrough, but I still have so many other games to finish.
Also, still available if any one wants:

Ah, so they are unique. Well, hope these challenges will continue in the far cheap future, too

I just looked up the 2K deals for Bioshock Infinite. The game is region locked it seems. No chance of getting it cheap from Russia once its extra discount day comes
--
I've been also looking at a bit older, recommended titles. Binding of Isaac gets lot of love but I find it hard to "get" the game from the trailers. Anyone played it, care to post some impressions, please?
Also, a Rebirth version is apparently coming out. Is that a DLC or a sequel. Looked very similar to the normal version.

Looks like him using my account worked, it's in my library now and SteamDB doesn't mention anything about region locks on actually playing it. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, you would have seen a similar "This is restricted gift which can only be played in ..." error message in your inventory if it were region-locked at the runtime level. Ubi only goes that far with its Russian subs for its more recent AAA titles.

Has anybody played both Endless Legend and Civilization V, and how do they compare?
For the longest time, I couldn't stand those kinds of games, they were tedious and too complex. But my friend wanted to try out Civ, so we played it together, and it turned out to be a blast. I'm not sure why... It's simple enough to actually play, and complex enough to keep it interesting.
Endless Legend looks neat, but if it's much different compared to Civ, I probably wouldn't like it. I like Amplitude, and the Endless lore is pretty neat, so I think I'd like to play Legend.

That looked pretty great. Still sort of confused about how the whole Square Enix collective thing plays into the funding though.

Have you tried posting this over in the NeoGAF Games Night thread? Might get some more hits due to it moving a little slower than over here.

I don't see why they wouldn't. Since it's just a random seed, there is basically zero effort to continue them indefinitely. The only question would be how long the community continues to participate in them.
Rebirth is basically a remake of the original game, with some added content. The original game was made in flash, and that was a severely limiting factor for the game, so they finally are releasing a version on a proper game engine. I don't think there would be any reason to play the original once Rebirth comes out (except it will be cheaper).
As for the game itself, I guess you could say it's a rogue-like-like (in the vein of spelunky), with randomly generated levels, with Zelda 1 style level design. As you delve deeper in the dungeon, you can find items (which items you get are random) that grant you powerups, and if you die you have to start all the way at the beginning. You don't carry over anything between runs, but every achievement you earn unlocks a new item that you could potentially (randomly) find in a future run so there is some sense of progression. Also there are a few unlockable characters that start with different starting items (and varying amounts of starting health).
Squeenix doesn't fund the games.

According to kitfox, SE is just there to help promote the game and find players.
The kickstarter should be up in a few days, and it's 10$ for early buyers. ETA is summer 2015.

Ah, so the challenges are not server-side created but will continue even when support ends? Actually, I think I spent more time asking about the game then I'll play it, ha. Thanks for all the info.
Ok, that make things more clear now. I don't get though what advantages porting the game to a non-flash engine has for the user. Is it performance?
Anyway, the game looks creepy - which piqued my interest. I'll keep an eye out on Rebirth once it hits.
Yeah especially considering how publishers like to keep the prices of invidual pieces of DLC up even way after the launch. I'm wondering if that will work out for them like they want.
Nah, but it'll make a great profile bio.
Your boyfriend is a good person, CoL is my GOTY. Hope you enjoy it!
It's almost a sequel that includes the original game.
I guess they are almost doubling the amount of items, enemies, bosses, etc. Sounds like a significant amount of new content, but they are still tight lipped.
Flash just sounds like a nightmare.
For example, they had a small limit on the amount of objects on the screen at once, couldn't compile the game again after the WOTL release, and plenty more issues.
Over 50k Borderlands 2 in game numbers is insane lol 2K doing well. Is it always this high or is this just a sales bump?
Ahh that explains it. Didn't see. I thought it was only Dishonored.

I guess it would require the servers in some capacity to actually send out the random seed every day. But with the popularity of the game, and the minimal server costs such a small amount of data would cost, I imagine they will continue for a long time to come. But then I'm largely speculating here. Just about everything I know about Spelunky is from listening to the Idle Thumbs podcast.
I didn't mean to downplay the additions for the game; there's definitely a ton of new stuff.
If I recall correctly, them using flash was the reason behind BoI's lack of controller support.
Yep, they literally couldn't recompile the game to fix bugs or add features.
I wonder if Corrosivefrost will refuse to buy Edmund's games in the future

Recently rediscoverd the music tab on my humble bundle account, so I downloaded all of the music I apparently bought haha
Hopefully there's some good stuff in there.

So the other day someone mentioned that Watch Dogs finally got a new patch that fixes the stuttering. Well I continued from my old save (around 3-4 hours into the game) and sure enough, stuttering was mostly gone. The game still struggles at times, but at least on my setup it was finally something I'd call playable.
However, this game just isn't very good. I put couple more hours into it and the uninstaller just finished doing its thing. I don't want to say it's a Ubisoft game but.. it's a damn Ubisoft game. I can just about tolerate one Assassin's Creed every 4-5 years (Black Flag was pretty good), but that's really my limit. Watch Dogs doesn't do anything interesting apart from the setting, and I don't want to play any more of these big budget Ubisoft games.
Next game on my list? Thief (2014). This will probably go well.
