Ah, the reason it's confusing is, you're on the wrong dishonored Steamdb page. There seems to be two.
Subs you want are :-
GOTY - http://steamdb.info/sub/31293/
Normal - http://steamdb.info/sub/17209/
Neither seem to have any region locking attributes, however, when I've gone to -
http://store.steampowered.com/app/205100/?cc=ru
It says it's not giftable.
Edit: Just saw your update. It's probably not worth risking it when it's like that personally. It's kind of inconclusive. It shouldn't have locks looking at the subs, but I'm not exactly sure where it's getting the not giftable thing from.
It's also worth noting this is only for things bought on the steam store. Any russian retail keys have different subs.
yup, and thus valve shouldn't even include them in the fan vote stuff... the fan vote stuff should be reserved for the games that won't be a daily or at the very least won't be part of the encore stuff :/
There's a good chance they'll add an upgrade option later. They had it for gold edition, at least. The complete edition might still be too new.
I liked Bioshock significantly more than SS2. Preferred the combat, the story, the atmosphere. It may not be as deep once you get into the specifics, but it's far from trash.

Well, RE4 only came to Steam a couple of months ago.
Different pub, but Silent Hill 1-4 and MGS 1-2 also aren't on Steam (yet?).

Wow, Beat Hazard is amazing! Just tried the demo with a few songs.
There is nothing better than shooting stuff on screen while listening to Rammstein \m/
Only "negative" thing about this game is that the music is way too quiet in the beginning (or if you suck and die).
Going to buy it now with the DLCs (good thing I don't use iTunes so I don't have to buy that extra DLC).
EDIT: Just realized that the whole bundle is cheaper than buying the items individually without the iTunes DLC. Even better.

Well, yeah, but isn't that the nature of the world? People work for money?
For my first steam sale, there were only dailies, and the games that went on sale only did so for 24 hours, and there were no repeats. So if you missed a deal, you missed it. It may annoy us to see repeats because we see every single deal, but the vast majority of Steam users don't. And those games we complain about, shoot to the top of the charts every single time. Do we need more games on sale at once? Yes. Is the "repetition" a problem? No it isn't. Even the community choice is vastly better now with 2 choices and 4 games instead of 1 choice of 3.
tldr - In terms of the sale itself and potential options, Valve has improved the sale every single time.

Well the Encore is typically based on the best sellers, so they don't necessarily know in advance which games will be there (though really, they have a pretty good idea).
But I agree that it doesn't make sense to put games with daily deals as community choice sales.

I actually agree. I don't think any game has shown up 3 times yet. The community 4-packs gives more variety than voting for 1 game and there have been more indies and other things to vote for instead of the usual AAA stuff

Eh nothing for me today, but I did grab Deadly Premonition on the Humble Bundle store and I may splurge on Shovel Knight.

Damn, a fully Windows 7 working Silent Hill 1-4 and MGS 1-3 on Steam would be an insane addition to the platform and solidify it as the GOAT!
Beancounters probably don't consider it worth it. It would probably take almost a full rewrite to get them working well, and with the amount of old sourcecode and assets that get lost over the years...
The MGS ports were a) done by Microsoft when they still cared about PC gaming b) didn't even work well on systems when they were released, never mind making them work for everyone now.
Yet again, just too much hassle to be worth it.
Well, I was wrong this once. It happens. Once in a blue moon.

Wish I didnt buy Civ5 Gold back then cuz now I miss out on Brave New World expansion and stand alone it's more expensive than what I have of Civ5 so far. Worth the 7.5 euro?
Or just get Europa Universalis IV Extreme Edition?
or both?

Brave New World is definitely worth it if you like Civ.

I guess that makes sense. I have everything but the last DLC, and wanted to get the same for someone else.
I'm glad that's settled

Inventory > More > view gift history.
Looks like it only goes back a year or so though. Haven't found anything more than that. Time to shine the jshackles signal.
One of the bonuses you will unlock will alleviate that if you choose to use it. But to me one of the most brilliant parts of the game is the fact that the louder the music is, the more powerful you are. No other similar game has matched that effect so well.

It's the epitome of the "one more turn" game. If you are in any way interested in a turn-based strategy game, you have no reason to pass this game up. The Civilization series has been around for a long time, and Civ5 manages to capture the quality of the previous games in a more accessible way without being too casual.
Alright! Participating on this sales craziness for the first time, and you guys have all been awesome with giveaways and what not, so I decided I should contribute to SteamGAF as well. As such, here's a giveaway of one of my favourite games ever. Hopefully whoever takes it will like it just as much as me and find out the joys of Ys (if they haven't, yet!)
Enjoy and good luck, guys! (Hope it all went perfectly, too! lol)

Ys: The Oath in Felghana --MB-2BBB8D632AD08583- Taken by SixStringPsycho
Civilization is one of the classics of the 4X genre. In it, you determine the fate of a nation through the ages by founding cities, waging wars, choosing policies, etc. It has multiple victory conditions, and is pretty much what the 7 Wonders board game was distilled from.

What's that Accounting Budget?
Any impressions guys?

One of the most successful gaming franchises of all time! Probably the most played single player game out there, at least in number of hours put into it. I think it could hook most people, give it a try.

Ah, ok. I guess "not giftable" means I can't receive the game as a gift.
Well, I'll get the "safe" games from RU and the other from US friends. Germany sucks in that ragard (price).
Thanks a bunch, sent you a PM.

Sounds good. That effect you describe seems interesting, I'm curious what I prefer more (constant loud music or music volume matched to your power).

RE6 question: QTEs on or off? Is it one of those things where it's super distracting when they're off?
well seems like last chapter was rushed a bit, but yea, kind of a letdown
Actually no, because TW1 started with all details at ultra or something, on my old Mac, and I played the intro/tutorial at 5fps, and I never got to play it again don't know why, but still I don't know what happened.
well must be some other reason cos i'm not talking about prologue (kaer mohren or however that's called) but chapter 1 (outskirts of vizima)
it's the most random custcene evar
YES! that works
sneaky bastards saying there wasnt a way, hoping to get capped twice in the drivebys. I got my EYES on you!
