I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan carrying a cross
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
The needle injection? Yeah, the stuff of nightmares...
Anyways, got my auction badge, can the sale start now?
Tomorrow.
my brother is a huge mgs fan and played it for like 40 hours
most people will get much less mileage but like any metal gear game it's got a lot of depth if you're willing to look for it
Set in Akihabara, the shopping area has been invaded by creatures known as "Synthisters" who prey on the patrons of Akihabara like vampires and zombies, feasting on their social energy and will to live. These enemies can only be stopped by direct exposure to sunlight, meaning that the player is required to defeat these vampires and zombies by violently stripping off their clothes and exposing them to sunlight.
The storyline revolves around a conspiracy behind the Magaimono organization that the player explores. Within the game, there will be over 130 real life Akihabara shops that the player is able to visit
The game features collaboration DLC in the form of character costumes and equippable items, including those from Ragnarok Odyssey Ace, Disgaea, Hyperdimension Neptunia, The Legend of Heroes, Super Sonico, and Genshiken.

Yeah, I always replay mgs games. I played all three versions of mgs3 and like mgs4 three times.
I'm just salty I haven't bought hundreds of sacks when they were less than .05 and resold for profit. :\
Really.....well.....I'm not so sure I want to get it tomorrow anymore then....I like MGS but I'm not DIE HARD IM GONNA TRY TO NOT USE WEAPONS AND NO DETECTION.
Guess I might just wait then.
You and me both.

I played the MGS2 demo, which you could complete in less than 6 minutes, for over 100 hours and it cost me like 80 dollars. It came with some free game though.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
That's awesome.

Apparently my half-assed bid at 1.2k won Influent Russian ver.
Time to learn! I've always wanted to know what does suka mean.
Well, SteamDB can still be used to determine the presence of runtime-level region locks, so there's that!
Mann Co.-bought keys have long (always?) had a three-day cooldown.\
Edit: Bah, I thought I refreshed the thread to see that my previous post attempt didn't go through.

Surely next year is going to be better for Valve? Just what's going on over there?...

You're about to pass my game count and my account is from 2008. I think you'll be fine.
ooo that monster glossary thing looks epic
( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
Regarding regional lock, does it really stop the game from used if it already in the library?
I mean, if I went to Moscow and log in Steam, I will see RU-price right? If I bought games there then returned to Jakarta, will my game still playable?

How is the current retail price of the game (which was mostly the predicted price) a megaton? It's $20 on PSN right now and goes on sale for 50% off or more rather frequently as of late?
Your megaton meter is very strange sir.
I'll let someone like iosefe take you to task for that "I don't have a Vita anymore" line.
Tomorrow is only 24 hours away. You're a bit early on this one, sir.
Yeah but there's so many games I'm looking forward to.
Anyway, I only need Ground Zeroes, H1Z1 and to a lesser extend GTA V for next year. And then I'll get Alien Isolation and Wolfenstein in a Steam sale anyway.

One more sleep before the real sale begins!
that's not what I wanted to read first thing in the morning.
damn, that's getting worse and worse. But what does it mean all of them? Isn't that a lot of work to region lock this way every app in those regions?
do we even care at this point?

You're slacking then. With naps and stuff, I probably have at least 6 sleeps before the sale. Which will probably be a disappointment, like a particular SteamGAFer who I will not name here. :3
my man.

Like I said, I didn't know. I prioritize Steam over PSN store. I only use it for the PS1+2 classics.

So sue me.

I'm more interested in the eventual price errors on GG when they try to match steam seal
I imagine it'd be quite easy to region-lock everything in one go, which is exactly what happened. The funny thing is that I posted this just yesterday.
Edit: I'll have died of old age by the time Talos finishes downloading. I hate my phone line.

I think I got all the games I can/want to play in future months already.

Perfect response.
Personally, I can't wait to see all discounts on shit I'm not buying.

I will check with my legal counsel to see what ground I might have for such a suit.
Your new(?) custom tag is awesome tho...

This brightened my day a little...
So I'm going to share it, because there are Sonic games on Steam:

I really need to buy Alan Wake and Borderlands 2, hope Steam sale delivers.

and put back Hatred an GL
it's like they can't get anything right and been gradually pissing off a lot of people from their userbase recently

Oh schnikes... it changes on mouseover! :3 Mind blown.
Don't worry, if BL2 GOTY isn't on sale for <10 bucks, there'll approximately be 23 sales for 2K games from various legit key stores within the coming weeks lol. I think it's the game that I've seen on sale the most since I joined Steam.

hahaha. I accidentally crafted an emote that's magically worth $1.26. I honestly don't understand what's happening here. http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/25800-:conquistador:
They did? That's remarkably indecisive even by Valve standards.
At least they're doing fine in terms of Dotes
It's been like that since he got it. Since the entire Prey incident.

Slowpoke much?
I wonder how long it will take to see results of this decision. Sure Region pricing was there to lower piracy in countries with low income but i am sure it helped many indie devs or maybe AAA devs to sell more games and earn more money even if buyers were outside that region.
It is always better to sell something for 30-40% lower price than not to sell it at all.
