I guess I need a proxy to fool the server into thinking I'm in the US. I have a US address I used to buy PSN codes before.

Amazon has AC4 for $35.
But... but.... Steam!

It's weird, I just bought it and litereally clicked one button and was in the game.
But I think I may have had a Squareenix account already from from Sleeping Dogs or Tomb Raider or something. It just auto-found it for me and I literally went from downloaded to playing the game in 5 seconds.

Haven't checked but I bought one of the Nvidia pack ins that comes with this and Splinter cell for 30 bucks two weeks ago. Might wanna look there first...
edit: Yup, goin for 35 bucks on ebay. They're ubisoft codes.
Have the same problem. Buy it on amazon or do the region override thingy. I don't know how to do it but i know it exist. Look it up...
I'm sure there's some sort of Siren, Ronan pun in there somewhere.
What?!

i believe those games dont require an account.
Unless you've grown extremely attached to the gameplay of the older CS games down to every pixel there's absolutely no reason to play them over CSGO.
Besides the modern UI and it constantly being improved weekly with patches, CS:GO has official ranked matchmaking that puts you up against players of similar skill level ( and with no dumb rules, goofy soundbytes or stupid ammounts of players) and gets your blood pumping, the others just have community-run servers (super booooring and a pain to find a decent match IMO).
So Rogue Legacy is alright I guess but I'm not fond of how the entire design revolves around grinding by repetition. I've already died well over 20 times since I got the achievement a while ago and I still haven't gotten strong enough to really handle the first boss yet. Despite unlocking a lot of abilities in the tree and buying a few new pieces of gear I feel like I haven't progressed at all yet. I dunno the whole beat you over the head with harsh difficulty and no retries doesn't appeal to me much, it's not the kind of difficulty I look for in games. Also the trait system, while humorous at times, is mostly a gimmick. Only a select few have any real effect on the gameplay, like being a midget affects your swing length while being bigger makes it harder to dodge attacks.

It's telling me it's only available to people in the US and I'm using my US address and billing address as default.

There are 2 of us listed in the op that can help with cross region gifting. Whether that be for pricing reasons, getting uncensored copies, or because a game isnt available in your region. Provided you can paypal the money. You could also work something out through the steam market to get steam wallet funds transferred from one person to another but there are fees for using the steam market.
Nothing, it just has some really advanced graphical settings that are really demanding if you turn everything all the way up. On a good mid to high range PC it looks and performs better than Xbone or PS4 version.

Has anyone got a list of whats 75% off but isnt flash or daily. I found that realms of ancient war and few others but was wondering if theres a list

This. I just finished it (i7 940, 12gb DDR3, GTX 780) and I had a tough time holding 60 frames in the cities. The rest is okay I guess, but as mentioned, just may have to turn down the eye candy a bit. And the V sync implementation is pure garbage but 100% fixable w/ D3Doverrider
I guess guys looking at cores say that core 1 runs maxed most of the time with little use of the other cores. Just shitty optimization apparently. There's an entire PC performance thread just for AC IV.
But the game is amazing and at the end of the day, should run at least as well as any console version.
I waded through the Van Helsing thread on the steam forum about the (lack of) DLC discount and read this quote in the last post:
I hope the discount for the DLC will materialize, though wouldn't it be too late to match the daily sale?

Daily deals/flash sales don't get any cheaper
Most likely Christmas sale will have the same discount so if you want something on daily or flash buy it now, if it's not on daily or flash and you're not going to play it straight away wait till Christmas
It's a poorly optimized port, but still the best version if you've got a decent PC. If you've got a good intel CPU you shouldn't have too many issues.
I haven't ran into any horrible convenience issues though. They updated Uplay so that it basically functions as Steam does in terms of updates. You can also launch right from a controller with Uplay now.
The game's pretty great so far (I'm at sequence 7) and I can't recommend it enough. There's still some dumb missions here and there but it might be the best in the series.

Now, won't get cheaper. Daily and flash deal = buy.
Games never go cheaper than Daily sales or Flash sales. Buy it now.

Hey guys, is there a way to have steam keep downloading a game in the background while playing an offline/single player game?

Whats considered a good Intel-CPU? I have a 3470k, which is more like a "medium" one and it runs fine.
You'll totally be fine, even more so if you OC.

X:COM heads up
Enemy Within is 20 bones on AZ. I know some people were bummed earlier that Enemy Unknown went deep discount but Enemy Within had no discount so just an FYI.
edit: Not digital tho =/

CS 1.6 is the best CS from a purely mechanical standpoint, but the community is all but dead. CS:S is garbage so I recommend you go with CS:GO.

Yeah. I have the Game.
I just think a 3470k CPU is the standard for a medium gaming-PC nowadays. Thats why I dont really get the "its not well optimized" arguments.
Yes, they just added it, but you have to do it on a game by game basis.
Right click the game you want to play, click "Properties", and put a check mark in "Allow Steam to download other updates blah blah blah".

Doesn't the beta client let you do this? I remember reading something about it...
In any case, you can alt-tab back to steam and resume the download after starting your game.
So you should be good then
I actually bought Dark Souls from amazon while outside the US, and have played it outside the US too
