Say I redeem a steam code for a game already in my steam library. Does it "consume" the code or can I give it to someone?
code = key ofc
code = key ofc

It's Arstotzka. There seems to be a discrepancy here. Entry denied.
You can give it to someone.

You can still hand it off to someone.
Tutorial section is less than 10 minutes long and is entirely skippable.
Game looks great with mods
SS2 Mod Guide
The lore, gameplay, RPG mechanics, loot, storytelling, and atmosphere are all absolute perfection.
Game is not with out its problems, for example some areas in the back half aren't very good due to the development being rushed. But game is truly one of the, if not the, best game of the generation and, certainly, one of the best of all time.
The difficulty is truly overblown. Once you learn the systems, the game becomes very manageable.
The problem lies in how modern games have trained us.
I bought this before realizing it required a subscription. $10 on Paypal if anyone wants it.
Here are the two things I love most about it;
1) An open world that doubles back onself and reveals shortcuts/secret passages a la Metriodvania or Zelda. The way the world is all internconnected is brilliant.
2) Melee combat that is always engaging. No button mashing but slower paced, strategic combat.
You could also add one of the most creative blendings of single player and multiplayer but that's not obligatory.
I played the hacking game they did before that one and I wasn't impressed much =/
Is that one better?

Steam did initially eat codes. It was the most annoying thing ever and an utterly stupid oversight on Valve's part.
I really liked the detail in SS2. Random stuff like the complete corporate history of a potato chip company adds to the atmosphere.

It's old fashioned in that it is hard but fair. Well, most of the time.

Thanks guys, I'll have to prepare some giveaways for Christmas then.
Dark Souls is not hard because it requires really good reflexes.
It's only hard because it demands that you pay attention and learn to adapt your strategies. You can have total shit reflexes and be awesome at Dark Souls. It just requires you to play smart. This aint Ninja Gaiden.
Did you ever get the UK/EU ones shipped over? I'm sure you could make a small house out of them judging by he amount you bought.
Worth it just for Shatter OST alone.

Did HB fix that crappy key system?
I remember someone here hitting them up on Twitter and they mentioned how they were definitely listening to the feedback...

See I hate dying in any game. I shouldn't, but I always get mad when I have to retry sections a lot.
Yeah, I got my hands on 2009 -> 2012 that way (I had to buy 2009 twice as the first copy didn't contain a key, but fortunately the seller gave me a full refund, no questions asked). I need to import 2011/2012/2013 Korean and 2013 Asian; 2013/2014 Russian I'll just buy keys for as I did with 2012.
To be fair, those are some damn good games, especially Jamestown. Bundle is worth it for Jamestown alone.
Great for people who don't have these games.
Pubs probably didn't want to go up against the sale-monster.

Sword combat is exquisite. It's pretty much impossible for me to go back to playing any other games with sword combat after DS. Despite the gifs that showcase people getting killed the game is fair because the combat is fair. If you get hit it's almost always because you didnt do something right. Either you didnt block when you should have or you attacked when you shouldnt have or you werent paying close enough attention to the environment. It's really hard to describe how swordplay can be good because its something games have struggled with for so long.
And man the atmosphere in DS is incredible. Just an amazing game world. Cant recommend this game enough.
Wow. Every single game on that list is a repeat.
And anyone on the fence about Dark Souls, stop hesitating and buy it NOW. It is truly one of the best RPG's this generation, and one of the best RPG's ever.

Thanks for the feedback. Might actually pick it up at that price.

The difficulty has been overstated, mostly by people who didn't take the game on its own terms. It's not a cakewalk, you're not going to go through it without any deaths, but it's designed with that in mind and therefore it handles difficulty much better than most games. In terms of manual dexterity it's not very demanding at all. I honestly think almost anyone can play it. It's an amazing game for so many reasons, at this price you owe it to yourself to try it.

When you have most of the games on Steam that you want, the sales become less interesting.
Today has so many amazing games on sale, the Steam newbies are having a field day

You are probably very happy with the direction modern gaming is going then.
