Edit: I'm not really mad, I realize that the mods are doing this on their free time and it will get sorted eventually.

According to some posters earlier in this thread, visually the game looks awful so they would probably object. Personally I don't really care for handheld games.

Yeah, it's a great game. I got the "180 stars with only using the main six characters" achievement, but after that it gets hard as shit. I probably won't get to 201 stars even with extra rangers.
Referring to the other points made about other OTs left in gaming while the Steam OT was pushed to community.
The Australian OT isn't relevant to our situation, while the others are. That OT was already in the community side, and the sticky may be a result of some inside joke we are not aware of. Negligible point anyways, the Steam OT is always on top of the community board.
O_OHappy birthday iosefe !
banana!
well, this is embarrassing. It just always looked chimpish to me.
Thanks

Hasn't this happened before with Ubisoft titles in the UK?

Happy Birthday!
Is it just me, or is the rate of birthday getting denser the close we are to christmas?
You know because Community threads need a bit of visibility to form a community around them. So they get exposure in Gaming and after a month or two they get moved. Been the thing for a while now, we just took 6 years to move!
I would think with you being in UAE (unless I'm going barmy) you'd be fucked over more than any other territory. Technically I could ask anyone in Europe or NA to gift it to me and it would be fine. They'll turn up about a week after release date like they always do, the cretins.
Valentine's, st Patrick's, and spring break is why
Happy birthday!
you should keep quiet about it, or they'll see it and region lock us from gifting to UK, you know (><)
btw what so bad about being in UEA?

Anyone. What could be my 1000th game?

Before the default ACRTAG change, I could have asked anyone on GAF to help me, not sure now. Thankfully[?], Ubi doesn't even care about the middle east to block stuff off Steam.
Trails obviously, it's GOTY after all
if you have that, the Room, another GOTY
if you have that too - Valkyria Chronicles
if you happen to have it too, go for something funny

Err I don't get your post sorry.
Milamber and I are in the same region, and I'm sure that those AC games are available in my Steam region last I checked.
If they want to liven up community, why not just make new game OTs start there, instead of moving them there later? I never understood why it works the way it does right now.
Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, that was mine.

Good choice!
He thinks that the muslim region of Steam gets a lot of restrictions/banned games compared to others like depiction of nudity or un-nationalistic depiction of our own countries in games.
Which is mostly true.
EDIT: Most of the latest GTA's is not allowed here because of hookers in the games. Same for the CoD's that has arabs in it as the antagonists. Spec Ops: The Line is obviously banned here.

This is Community only, who cares
I can deal with ACRTAG as pubs would have to neuter a lot of regions to effect most of us but if it comes down to being locked at the applications runtime then that's a dick move.
Because you have much stricter censorship laws that most of the other regions on Steam (well baring some of the loopy German things that still go on). Though might not be the case I guess. Are there titles on Steam you can't buy at all? Isn't Spec Ops banned in UAE for its depiction of Dubai?
So I had the day off yesterday for an appointment, and started up two games in the morning - Watch_Dogs and a new game of Europa Universalis IV. Guess which one I actually ended up playing more than 45 min of? That's right, EUIV.
On the down side, however, my EUIV game didn't amount to much. After 40 years as Scotland, I had conquered Ireland, but couldn't get any farther. England's land forces were too much for me alone, and even getting France's assistance proved fruitless. France simply couldn't get past England's navy. I hope to do better playing as the Livonian Order.

One of my aunt and uncles used to live in Oman and Abu Dhabi and while they said officially it's hard to buy certain items of media due to censorship laws and such. But if you take a walk away from the department stores and boutiques and pop 5 mins down the road to the market sellers you could buy pretty much anything you wanted. Some more suspect than others.

It was half price a week or so ago but alas that ain't cheap enough for this collectable figurine enthusiast.
ohh the irony
Unity is £18.35 at Indian Origin
This is on the Indian version of Origin store. What you need to do is;
1. Make sure a debit/credit card is saved to your origin account. This makes payment easier.
2. Install the Hola plugin for your browser and set it to India. Details can be found on the Hola site.
3. Go to the origin store and you'll know wether Hola has worked or not because all prices will be in Rupees. 1p is approximately 1 rupee.
4. Add AC Unity to your cart and click checkout.
5. Disable Hola now and make sure you're back on your UK ip. This will allow you to process your UK card. Proceed with the payment.
I used SwitchySharp as a chrome plugin and got a random indian ip proxy, didn't sign in with the IP on, just went to checkout.
Nvidia codes are going for about £20 again on Steamtrades and the like and you only have to deal with Uplay and not Origin. Plus knowing what my Blag Flag code was like it included a shit load of Uplay Store exclusive DLC. I'm still waiting for benches until I pick it up. Seeing as I've not really been missing SLI due to the recent lack of support but if this needs the extra oomph I'm going to have to grab my second card out my workstation PC.
I always feel like I should be wearing a smoking jacket and holding a brandy snifter while sitting next to a fireplace when I play EUIV.
The game is just so classy.
That's still at least £20 too much.

So is mexico still the cheapest way for DAI?
No other region is cheaper?

That's Ubi's game - free advertising.
10 is way too much for a prank, if base price dropped to 10 and then it went to nice 80-90% discount, we would see a nice picture on activity feed (><)
Wasn't aware but if it's not steam I don't really care between ea and ubisoft. -Oh I see what you mean, this origin version will open uplay still I take it. I should probably check out what steamtrades is - it probably is the steam version lol. I thought UK folks were locked out of Ubisoft stuff on steam though...gifting is okay?
It mentioned some dlc, let me check:
+royal arsenal pack
+chemical revolution mission
£20 ain't bad though, I like the theme and environments in Unity, hopefully it plays alright.
I'm getting tired of this.
Can somebody tell me, why The Evil Within keeps starting up on my monitor 3?
I have 4 screens connected but it won't start up on my main display. Neither from Steam or Big Picture mode.
If you go to Screen Resolution settings area in Windows does it list that monitor as display #1?

I think it's 1.5 months until an OT gets moved to community.
I really don't see why this thread shouldn't be in the community section. Sales get their own threads anyway and since it's been running for so long, I'd say that it already has built up a stable community and it shouldn't affect the thread that much. It's been a big exception anyway and it would be great if the other community threads (like the GB thread) would be moved here as well. No more exceptions.
If those games won't be so anally region locked that Ubi will actually separate UK from EU, well, I guess UK buyers will be forced to find their ways to buy them on Steam paying them consistently cheaper, screwing Ubi twice.
