So I just bought an Alien Isolation key off of Nuuvem to redeem on my UK steam account and it appears I made a huge mistake. I seem to have read it redeems on US accounts however? Any remedies? Anyone want a cheap Alien key?
Sadly didn't only happen to you. Take it to Buy/Sell thread and specify that it's region locked, best bet aside from giving it away for free, really.
Yeah, it was 50% off.

I think it's region locked to South America.

The game isn't yet the key is, but only at the activation level, which is easily circumvented with a VPN. Nuuvem's region-lock notices generally do not reflect reality -- after the SR4 debacle it started liberally using them on new releases from publishers with a history of region-locking.
Don't tell me. i just directly quoted the site. If there's a way around that, share it with the poster with the currently useless key.

What's the deal with Lords of the Fallen DRM? I heard some bad stories
Confused. The main page lists "today's featured deals" which I assume are the dailies. Yet, Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon are NOT in the front page and are both dailies right now(only noticed checking out my wishlist and seeing the low prices).
Am I missing something here? Are some dailies not advertised on the main storefront page?

I got the 1st one for about $2 and the 2nd one for maybe $3 just randomly throughout the year so they definitely do go lower than 50% lol.
But yea I say play both. If you have to choose then the 2nd one obviously.
Had lunch with my daughter today, got a $50 Steam card from her as a XMas gift.
She knows me well.
Haha that's awesome.
Hidden dailies. Since Far Cry 4 is discounted, all Far Cry is discounted. When Binding of Isaac Rebirth was discounted, so was the original, when Alien: Iso was, so were the past Alien games.

Supreme Commander 2? Yes or no?
Generally the entire series will be discounted along with the game on the front page.

They'll go on sale. They always do. Just give it some time.
Of course.
That's how Steam discounts generally work: game discount = other titles in the franchise are also discounted.

I'm losing hope on SFxT getting any sale, it sitting at 0% discount right now.
Any plans for it to be migrated to Steamworks? Is it even any good at all as a couch-coop fighting game compared to USF4?

It's not 75% off if you use 25% off code to game that is already 50% off.
Don't think it was one of the games Capcom announced they'll migrate to Steamworks.
Really loved both games. Just beware that the actual combat in both games is pretty awful. Terribly balanced in your favor, a bit dull and very tedious. Probably worth skipping a lot of sidequests(especially the first game) as they can really drag out the overall gameclock and the rewards are needless given how easy the game is.
The real enjoyment is in the worldbuilding, characters, and narrative. Both games excel greatly here, particularly the second game. You will miss a lot of subtle callbacks and references jumping into 2 without playing the first, especially in the confusing opening hours.
If you are up for a great set of interactive high fantasy adventures, just start with W1, which will set the stage nicely for the two sequels.
I'm pretty sure Capcom is willing to let it rot since no one cares about the game. They tried to fix it with the 2013 update but it was already dead in the community.

ok, how do I make a modbot giveaway if the game is in my steam inventory and i don't have a key for it?

I think it lowered performance when playing.

Yeah I just realized that. But, still cheaper than Steam
It's outlined in the Modbot FAQ in the OP. The process is the same as if you just bought it from the store.

Yeah, when Ground Zeroes went on sale MGR got a steep discount for 48 hours.
The only exceptions I can think of are instances when a series is split among different publishers (IE Dreamfall/TLJ, or the LEGO games).

really? what made it die? it seems like an interesting crossover. I wonder what about it sucked so hard.

May I ask, when will that sale happen if I wait?

nvm found it thx
Appreciate the help.
Before I go and attempt to pawn this key off, is this at all risky? I have used a VPN a bunch to pass unlock dates but this seems maybe a little more borderline ban worthy?

God, I don't know if I should pick up Lords of the Fallen.
There's still over a week left of these sales and most of my budget would go into that.
Then again these sales have been quite disappointing to me so far.
Feel the same. It is on my radar and I haven't bought jack this whole sale. I figure I will wait till Summer sale, it will probably remain unplayed in my backlog until then anyway.

Endless Legend is sort of really polished crap. Fantastic presentation, terrible gameplay. Age of Wonders 3 is the much better 4x fantasy game

Very yes, had nearly 50 hours put into it. The game was patched and upgraded a lot on PC. Still a downgrade from the original but can provide some good fun. Ranked is absolutely dead though but some people still play it. Has 3 SP campaigns as well and the skirmish is very entertaining.
If you were looking for a RTS that has mechs and even naval combat, you'll find that here. I wish more games could include naval combat!
edit:
The X-COM games are on discount too... $10 for the whole Enemy Unknown+Within stuff. Someone (I think Durante) said that Valkyria Chronicles was kind of like X-COM, of course with macho men, aliens, pew pew but none of the waifu squads and tank warfare. Still, I love me some strategic titles. Worth it?
I'm not an expert but from what I remember watching tournaments, most games ended in time outs because the game was really geared toward playing defensively + having recoverable health with two characters. It was certainly boring to watch, dunno how it was to play. They tried to fix it with things like throws removing grey health but I don't think anyone really cared with other games out already.

XCOM is great. Buy it.
At the absolute latest you'd be waiting until the Summer Sale (June/July), however in all likelihood it'll be discounted again before then.

I see, thanks.
