Is Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed Unity cross region gifting blocked? Still want them but not at £49.99. Would pay American price though. Would work out to around £35

Hmm.. yeah, that all makes sense. Thanks. I don't use SteamDB often, so I really wasnt sure what to make of that, but your explanation helped a whole bunch.



Weird. I'm reading that a whole bunch of ppl have this issue in the Steamgroup - mostly first time users (which I am too).



Oh damn, nice lol

I ended up teaching myself some of it one day while trying to help a friend figure out if the Dark Souls 2 Season Pass had been locked after I had gotten it from a trader. Between some tech background and stuff I've seen pros like JaseC mention, I picked it up pretty quick, so long as my understandings are okay above.

I figured if I took the time above to try to explain how I understood it to work that maybe you (and even others) might pick up a little bit of knowledge from it... one of those "The more you know..." type things. :D

The region free ROW sub does not have AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries set up properly so it is probably possible to buy at the Russian price.

except the russian price is much higher now because the ROW ones left are rare

Yeah, I'd presume that's why I was able to buy it at 18 keys, and there were still five or so copies remaining, too. With Sacred 3 being returned to Eastern European stores yesterday, cheaper copies of it should start appearing here and there, too, although time is running out as far as pre-orders are concerned.

We're still expecting it to come out this year. The beta is going pretty well so far and I think we're going to be opening it to more people pretty soon.

Thanks for the info! Good to know that it's still coming this year.

I've sent another e-mail to Quantic about the Steam version. If I get a response, I'll post it. I was ignored last time and when Grief hit up QD's Twitter account, he was pretty much ignored himself as he was just directed to GOG.

I hate to say it, but I'd honestly buy it just to own it. That, and play the opening scene and the first apartment scene again, because it's so good before it turns to shit.

Hatoful Boyfriend is now available for pre-purchase. There's a 10% pre-purchase discount.

Edit: And to answer the next question, you're looking at 3.5 keys for the standard edition or 4.5/5 for the CE.

Glad that I sold that Trails background for a good price :D

It's very perky and vibrant, really enjoying it so far.

I guess I'm lucky enough that I haven't encountered any bugs except for a few graphical problems with cutscenes.

Early access killed any interest in indie games for me. Finish the game before selling it. Or do it like Minecraft, cheaper price if you buy early.

What does this even have to do with anything, early access isn't even mentioned in the article

This'll be a fun read.

Is it possible for us British people to get gifted Far Cry 4 from the US store? I would rather pay 35ish pound then 50!

Yes. ACRTAG only affects South American, Eastern European and South-east Asian (because of the incoming support for the Thai Baht) users.

I bought the third bundle where I have all games... because I forgot some games I had, it's starting to become real problem.

I sat down to play Antichamber last night, and ended up playing for six hours straight. Very inventive and mind-bending. To get the full experience, play without consulting a guide. The game encourages you to explore, study and experiment with your surroundings. If you enjoy clever puzzles, mazes, and having your mind broken, then make sure to grab this game.

Gonna format my PC anytime soon, though this 7 days trade/market restriction for new devices will mess up a lot for me.
I know you need to save that file in Steam folder, but which file do I need to save to have the browser remember me as well?
Apparently it will lock me out from trading if I dont save some cookies or similar.

If you use Firefox or one of its derivatives, you can just use MozBackup to back up everything (cookies, history, current session activity, and so on).

I wonder if acceptance of indie game aesthetics varies across generations. I grew up on the NES and the SNES/genesis and when i read complaints like "ugh fuck this 2d pixelated bullshit" i can't help but wonder if they grew up in the post 16-bit era of polygons, polygon, polygons and never got to see the +decade of 2d evolution to genuinely appreciate it, to look at Street Fighter III and just go HOLY SHIT.

I'm sure there are those born in the mid-late 90s who do appreciate that visual style, but it wouldn't surprise me if some of the more vocal parts of that contingent didn't game before that era.

Which file in the Steam folder do you need to save? I might reformat too in a not so distant future.

There should be two "SSFN" files you need to backup in your steam folder. I'd backup your firefox (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles) profile too to be safe.
