Game's been on my wishlist forever and seems to have never been on sale once. Including now. I mean I get that's it's early access and they don't want to devalue it but they really got to throw people a bone if they want to increase interest here.

Just so there's no confusion, it is still possible to purchase a gift copy of a game for somebody in a different country. What's changed is that Steam now checks for a price difference and will stop the checkout process if the game is >10% cheaper in your region. It's also still possible to gift somebody a copy of a game that isn't available in their region provided the package isn't set up to only be purchasable in particular countries (or non-purchasable in theirs).

In short, cross-region gifting is still supported, just in a much more limited form.

If you check the pages at the top it will say 1 of 7, 0 of 15 whatever.
Where you've unlocked them, click the thing that isn't greyed out under the picture and it will stick the sticker where it belongs.
It's pretty lame.

Agreed, I love what they are doing with the game but i feel because it has been out for so long a lot of improvements will go unnoticed.

I'm trying to check out Necrodancer, Obduction, Tyranny and the PoE expansion pass. Can't make it though. Dammit Valve.

Edit: it went though on my very next try. Apparently all I had to do was complain about it.

Necrodancer is my favorite roguelike, hands down. I do the daily run like clockwork every day

I wonder if the low discounts is a concerted effort by publishers to drive people to other outlets?

I'll go get my tinfoil hat.

I can't even finish mine. I bet I will get only one card.

I had to try several times, so don't give up. Go get those cards, my friend!

After all those 14 cards, I'm still one short of the badge. Got 4 of the same one. Guess the RNG hates me.

Good luck, man. Fucking Paradox raised prices for all of their games just before the sale cuz:

”As you have noticed prices for our products have increased in certain regions around the globe and this is something we've intentionally done. The reason for this is to make our prices match the purchasing power of those areas, as well as create a more equal price point for our products across the globe.

Our prices have remained pretty much the same for several years and it's only natural for us to re-evaluate price points at regular intervals based on the strength of various currencies, fluctuations in world markets and many other factors. This is something that all publishers do and we are no exception.

Sadly this means that the price has gone up for certain regions and whilst this is something we'd like to avoid, it's necessary to keep our price point more in line with our other markets. We sincerely apologize for any frustration this may cause and hope you can understand why we are doing this."

So where can I view uncompleted quest? I see the ones I completed, but uncompleted is not showing up where steam is directing me to. I did the friend's activity and discovery queue one.

I'm really tempted by Fallout 4, I gave up on NV after a few hours because it was so clunky and janky but I've always wanted to try Fallout 4. I might buy it and try it, if it sucks I'll refund it.

Steam emails are so garbage now, it's really insane.

"170 items from your wishlist are on sale!"

Proceeds to list out 3 games 3 times each, and then says "+160 more"

So, failed at math on multiple levels, failed to actually show as many as it was apparently supposed to, etc. Out of everything Steam has done in the past 3 years this change probably annoys me the most.

Tempted to bite on Nier: Automata for $40. Knowing how SE sticks to its guns with pricing, that's as good as it's gonna get for a long time.

The big question is (and forgive me if this has been asked already in this thread), did they fix the technical issues with this game?
Click to expand...

no

there's a user created performance solution called FAR tho

Man, I wish Battle Brothers could've shaved off a few more dollars. As is, it's right in that Rise of the Tomb Raider/Dying Light range and it's making the decision much harder.

What the fuuuuuck. Tyranny was $45 @ 50% off and the PoE pass was $25-$10 (not sure the percentage. I had no idea what they were at before so I didn't notice. That's so shitty.

Use enhanced steam or steamdb to look at prices before. But Tyranny at $45 @50% off sounds way off. I would think it would be $25 @50%

Nah man the store server is being all fucky. It's just applying and removing the price reductions almost at random now. I'd wait a day or two for Valve to sort itself out.
