Fuck, moving to another country messes Steam up pretty badly.

Manhunt is banned in Australia, and I've been wanting it to complete my Rockstar classics collection for quite a while. Now that I live in Florida, I should be able to buy it right? I mean, nothing in the game is any worse than what you'd see going out for a night on the town in Orlando. Anyway, when I open Steam it's all "oh hi, I see from your IP you live in the US!" and let's me add it to my cart. Then if I go to buy it, because my saved credit card is Australian it says "whoah, I'll just change currencies because you could be trying to pull a fast one" and in the process removes Manhunt from my cart.

I actually have a credit card with a US address too, but it won't let me enter the information before it removes it from the cart. I think I can probably buy something on that card which is available in both regions first to force it to switch me to the US version, so it's possible to work around it despite being annoying.

Oh and for the record, whenever it switches countries the background on the homepage swaps between Autumn and Spring =D

you can manage your cards from your account...top right. just delete the Australian one and you should be good.

Fixed it already doing that, but cheers! You do have to make one payment with it first, but then you're good to go with buying from the other region.

Oh okay, I just meant in general. It's been showing me 'merican Steam since I moved here; that's just like Strayan Steam but bigger and with more guns. Well either way, I bought a different game using my US card and then tried again. Now I'm the proud owner of history's greatest murder simulator.

Oh, yeah, there's no general account region; as you say, Wallet aside, it's based on payment method. Valve's apparently removed the IP restriction as I had no issues getting to the final checkout screen when purchasing from Steam AU while using either a US or UK VPN.

I have to ask, because my backlog is ever growing and I'm budgeting myself to like, $25 total for the sale, maybe $20.

Outlast, worth it for $7 bucks?
And CK2 on humble might eat all of that up on its own as I've been holding out on that for ages.

Bought Skyrim: Legendary Edition as my 10th game of this sale. Cost more than the first 9 combined. 13,50€ so cheaper than in US (20$) actually, thanks Gaben.

Sweet, $20.39 for Skyrim with all the DLC! I was waiting forever for Skyrim alone to be less than $15, so this is a great deal. Now I can finally play the RPG that can't possibly be better than Dark Souls. Maybe I'll pick up Outlast as well.

That Skyrim DLC pricing... why would they do that when getting the Legendary Edition turns out much cheaper?!

For if you already have most of the other game parts, probably.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Rogue Legacy is one of the best games of the year.

That's all I have to say.

I agree with this statement. If you're even remotely interested in metroidvanias or roguelikes, buy this now.

cool. although weird that you still had to do that, guessing they must have a server side flag that needs resetting.

more games!

I bought it at full price sometime around the last sale, and it really didn't grab me, I feel like I'm the only one. It seems way too hard at the start and there isn't much of a plot to keep me intrigued. Admittedly I only played it for about an hour. Waiting for the Vita version to try and get back into it.

Is something up with Enhanced Steam? DRM info doesn't seem to be showing.
Click to expand...

DRM info should be showing, but the API server is still crashing hard. This will effect things like price histories, DRM categorizations, Widescreen certifications, and HowLongToBeat information.

I'll repost what I said on the base steam thread:

Brothers!
I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when Steam fails! But it is not this day!
A day may come when we forsake our games and break all bonds of currency! But it is not this day!
An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of master race comes crashing down!
But it is not this day! This day we buy! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand! Men of the GAF!

They've been doing that since the Legendary Edition was released. I've been waiting for over a year now for the DLC to go on a bigger sale than 50%. At this point, I'll just grab the Legendary edition when it goes 75%.

Well played Bethesda. I'll never get your games on launch again.

Out of curiosity, do you have an estimate on how much it would cost to upgrade your server?

How is A Machine for Pigs in comparison?

I've tried both, disappointed by both. Outlast becomes repetitive and irritating once you actually start the the fetch questing with enemies around, and AMFP just tests your patience for solving basic puzzles in the hard-to-see dark.
