Buying from that region it is.
Phew! Now I can stop worrying about it, and install it after I finish my new Dark Souls 1 play-through.
If anything, I might have overpaid if that's the case - but atleast I finally get the no.1 game on my wishlist.

Man, and i just finished DS1 just yesterday for the first time. It's like they waited for me to get my xbox acheevos and then unleashed the steamworks kraken.

As it's on sale right now for a dollar or a euro right now, I played this a year ago (last October), so some quick impressions.
It's a remade Nintendo DS game, basically the same game but just updated graphics made from the ground up. Its handheld origins do show, especially in enemy reactions to being hit/shot.
However, it's not a bad game. Not great, it's kind of like a poorman's cocktail if you tried mixing Doom x Silent Hill together, but I enjoyed my playtime with it and it does get better as it goes along. Some good music in places (though that fucking 'battle theme' is just... Yar. You'll know what I mean if you play it). Has some good mix-ups in gameplay, ranging from puzzles, to boss battles, to change in scenery and level design, which is applied when it's needed. Game has some fun weapons, but notably you get like, half the weapons in the game during the last third of the game.
For a dollar, I'd recommend it for those who want a bit more of an downtoned action-horror game, I thought it was worth a playthrough. Just kind of expect a pretty okay game with some good moments, and very simple combat.
Also has Steam trading cards.

Haven't finished Dark Souls 2 yet. Still haven't played after
due to lack of time (just started a new job that is taking up all my precious time now). Hate being a responsible adult. Life was much easier as a little brat.
But with the news of Dark Souls for steamworks I will have to replay Dark Souls again. My most played game ever. Just love it!

Also, what does GAF thinks about Halfway??

I enjoyed it quite a bit, but I really wish they ported the first game instead. So much better and actually kinda scary.

Chuck's Challenge 3D is once again (I think) the same price it was during the last Steam sale.
What?! FINALLYDark Souls has Steam achievements now?

Getting rid of GFWL is good news, but there's no way I'm going to perfect that game I was looking forward to playing it without worrying about achievements. What a bummerMy poor completion average...
How long until it's confirmed for realsies? Time to create a new Sunbro soon!

A solid purchase. It's good. Plays like Chip's Challenge if someone remembers that.

Spoiler actually is spoiler!
And I don't know that Port Ops is garbage. It's 1-upped in every way by Peace Walker, and the story isn't canon in the least, but during its time, it was fairly decent. If you're just trying to get up to speed, though, it's straight up skippable.
The Ac!d games are also non-canonical. I still luv em doe.

Thought the image was of a duck at first.
I've played the DS and it was alright at the time. Controls on a handheld were a little bit funky for me.

I was fortunate enough to not get into the series until after Durante stopped updating, so I never had glitches, in my whole 200 hours with it. 60 FPS is the only way I know Dark Souls.
I was panicking for a second there thinking 'What if Namco do a change over before I get my sweet, sweet GFWL chieveos?' but then I realised I bought a retail copy so as long as that horror still exists I'm all good. Still pissed that Arkham Asylum is left with some left to do.
Also Portable Ops recruiting team members meant lugging them on your back very, very slowly. Peach Walker had the Fulton system which was quite fun but V just takes that concept to a whole other level but letting you Fulton pretty much anything!

The ObsCure series is good, the spin-off Final Exam is decent co-op fun.
I am super excited for the Halloween Sale. Last years sale had some really good deals on horror games, had the best prices for a variety of horror games that weren't surpassed by the Christmas or last Summer Sale. Also had a few surprise releases, such as Typing of the Dead Overkill, the Alone in the Dark games, and the Saw video game returning to Steam.
oh that's awesome to knowI was fortunate enough to not get into the series until after Durante stopped updating, so I never had glitches, in my whole 200 hours with it. 60 FPS is the only way I know Dark Souls.
i played a bit of 30 fps dark souls 1 the other day and damn it feels so bad
60 also looks a bit wonky tho, you can tell these animations were made for 30. still better but goes to show it's not as easy as flipping a switch
i had fun once it was awful

Unboxed one, got one shitty dualies skin.
Never again.
Now i just sell everything on the marketplace.
I'm hoping Saw goes on sale again. It hasn't been discounted since last year's Halloween Sale.
Sounds about right...Good place to take your anger on smaller cars before hitting the glorious Finnish highway with 100% perfect driving
Bloodborne is the only reason I'm even interested in consoles at the moment. Still far from convinced, but there is a chance I may get one eventually, heh. And yeah, I know the feeling with cable management. I'll keep an eye on the replies
Could be worse. You could have no work at all - Which is the case for me. With the russian bear nearing extinction, I doubt I'll be buying any AAA games pre-megasales, so... LTTP I supposeSadly this work is "maybe tomorrow you will work, maybe not".
Last week I worked two days, this week I'll work two days for sure (one is already gone), then I don't know. And the pay...well, is VERY low, as usually

Bloodborne will probably come to PC soon after it gets released. Unless there's a permanent exclusivity deal announced. I thought Dead Island 2 would be PS4 exclusive until the Steam page popped up.
Just don't click on any threads in a gaming forum regarding a female. Some posts are downright creepy though.
it's a Sony IP

Sony has paid for and funded the development of Bloodborne and Shu has gone on record as having regretted not having locked down the Demon's Souls series. It's their IP. I don't see it ever hitting PC, like never-ever-ever and not like Master-Chief-Collection "never."

this is all that matters
So, Magic 2015 is going to relaunch along with a new expansion. The relaunch is suppose to make up for the shite amount of content it launched with.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/10/20/magic-2015-relaunching-next-month
Personally, I don't think I can get excited about PC Magic games anymore.

It's also the only game that I would consider even getting.
It's been cheaper, though, so I get to hold off until the Winter Sale...
Also: holy crap at the Dark Souls achievements. I 100%'d it on the 360, but couldn't bring myself to do it with GFWL. If they fix up some of the crazy GFWL glitches and add VAC, I might be able to 100% it on PC too.
sounds like a great day!!

Aw, all I'd seen about exclusivity was that the developer said they needed a "powerful console", which I immediately laughed at as a reason for exclusivity
Because it was revealed during Sonys E3 press conference.
