There's an updated one at the end of the thread.

Edit: Ah, you found it.

So it seems that the next game that Arc System Works will bring to PC will be...Battle Fantasia?

Of all the stuff to bring. Oh well SOMETHING is better than nothing.

Is Dead Island Riptide region locked?

Exactly that.

Well that's annoying for sure :/

It appears that way. It's neat that we're getting another ArcSys game on PC, I suppose, but when they've got Persona, Guilty Gear, Blazblue and UNIEL on their roster, I'd much rather have seen one of them come over.

All of the game's Eastern European-specific retail packages are runtime-restricted.

This package can only be run in specified countries

Russian Federation, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Republic of Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine

Reading the reactions is making me laugh.

 

[freshVeggie]

Neat. Activated and now have the uncensored version of Borderlands 1. Yipee!

I just hope it's not a case of "well no one bought battle Fantasia, guess we are giving up on the steam platform."

It's a pity there was never a Borderlands 1esque gore mod for Borderlands 2/TPS.

I was trying to buy a copy from Nuuvem though. That should work here right? I'm from Italy.

Next Hitman will apparently be like Splatoon with content, some kind of episodic.

If they make the missions awesome like Blood money, I'm good.

Ah. You'll need to use a VPN to activate the key, but that's it.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Grrrr, to the Steam Trading Card drops taking forever, I have a theory on why this is, but I don't think I can say anything because of confidential signings with Valve, grrrr.

What I think I can say is this, the cause for some games having ridiculous card drop rates may have a cause that isn't what you guys are expecting.

I don't want to break contract or leak Valve's secrets or anything like that, but it can be frustrating seeing all of you guys having an issue, and then thinking, "Ohh, that's probably...", but not being able to say anything since it's probably confidential.

Oh. To be honest I'd prefer to avoid messing around with VPN on Steam. I know it's supposedly safe, but still...

It'll be 75% off again on Steam itself at some point.

Yeah, but it's even cheaper on Nuuvem :/

This reminds me, what should I check to see if a game is region locked or not? So that I don't have to bother people here each time I need to know

 

[wilflare]

how are you guys managing your podcasts? soundcloud? pocketcasts? etc?
been thinking of giving Idle Thumbs and Player One a listen - think they were mentioned here

 

[jshackles]

By the way Enhanced Steam's servers are currently offline. I spoke to the provider who told me they have a local power outage whose length has surpassed the capacity of their backup batteries and generators. So hopefully they'll come back online soon.

I don't really use any podcast management stuff so I can't comment on that.

The early days of idle thumbs were excellent but I kinda stopped listening to them around a year or two ago (Great compilation of the early days here). IDK the quality of the current run.

Look it up on SteamDB and then comb through the package list, taking particular note of Store/Retail Key and CD Key ones. Packages that are restricted to certain countries at the activation level will have the PurchaseRestrictedCountries flag and a list of eligible/ineligible countries (depending on what AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries is set to -- either "yes" [in which case only users in the listed countries can activate keys] or "no" [in which case only users not located in the listed countries can activate keys]) while those restricted further, at the runtime level, will also have either onlyallowrunincountries or prohibitrunincountries. In exceedingly rare cases you also need to be mindful of language restrictions, but this is generally if not entirely limited to more recent Call of Duty titles and Ubi's full-price/near-full-price games.

That all being said, in select cases there may be region-specific packages that the publisher doesn't actually use, so I always say that it's still better to ask even if you know what to look for.

Edit: The above information is specifically in relation to retail keys. I assume you're aware that Valve has cracked down heavily on cross-region trading on Steam itself.

Yes, I know about the cross-region trading. The rest sounds a bit complicated, but I should be able to manage.

Thanks for all the help!

So I played the first stage of Coffin Dodgers. It's fun but it really really feels like Burger King's Pocketbike Racer.

Woah.

Woah.

Nintendo going third-party confirmed.

 

[Maniac]

It can't really be like Splatoon though. Splatoon has locked content on-disc, whereas Hitman will be digital only until at the very least, late 2016, if not foreveerrrr

 

[Chance Hale]

I don't understand why people can't just wait to see what comes with Hitman at launch. They've said it will be similar in scale to what other Hitman games launched with but even if you don't believe them......just wait and see and if you aren't satisfied don't buy at launch.

Spoiler

Their airplane gets shot down by the Chinese police, they both die.

Although they both appear in Hitman Absolution so I guess you could surmise they make it out somehow.

I am reminded of how hilariously awful Kane and Lynch 2's ending is. It just ends out of nowhere Rage style.

Guess I can't say I don't play the games I buy.

That Hitman thread is just weird. People should wait how it turns out and then decide. We're talking about free updates here. But people are almost painting it worse than paid DLCs and season passes.

Yeah, it's actually 26 campaign missions and they've updated the sandbox section so there's five maps now. The devs say they are going to bugfix this week and then hope to add content through free updates.

Sweet!
