Anybody thinking of getting Metro Last Light off Amazon and lives in the US? I bought the Metro bundle and it looks like the codes are region-locked, thus I can't use mine.

Saints Row 4 was region-locked as well, so I guess this means all of Deep Silver's games will be unregisterable outside of the Americas. I feel like this should be a warning in the OP or something.

Just turn on Spotflux and register the game on steam. You should be able to turn it back off again and not have to worry about it.

Hey guys,



I don't do this a whole lot of this here but I'm really passionate about this one. My friend Megan Fox (game developer not actress) has an indie studio and is coming into the home stretch for her Kickstarter:



http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/meganfox/hot-tin-roof-the-cat-that-wore-a-fedora#!



If any of you participate in Kickstarters and find this interesting you should totally tell your friends. Megan is just a phenomenal human being, and has been making games FOREVER. She's also a Goon, which is how I met her.

Let me know what you guys think.

Cheers,

Tony

Alright guys, health check.

What do you think about this bundle at $14.99? All are steam keys:

Bad Rats
Razor 2 Hidden Skies
9th company
Ironclads America Civil War
Ironclads Schleswig War
Ironclads High Seas
Ironclads Chincha Islands War
Ironclads Anglo Russia War 1866
BC Kings
Hazen
Dimensity
Perimeter 2
Puzzle Kingdoms
FlatOut
Vegas Make It Big
World Basketball Manager
Zombie Pirates
Fireburst
Exodus from the Earth
Disciples II Rise of the Elves

This isn't confirmed but I'm kicking it around with Strat First. Also, we have the opportunity to add non-steam Strat first titles we carry, I just know those aren't as compelling. Suggestions welcome!

Though I've seen you in the Steam thread you are aware that Bad Rats is treated like an STD on this site? Any inclusion in a bundle would make it less attractive.

As for the rest it's sadly kinda weak. In a world where Humble Bundles pop up weekly a list of budget titles doesn't really have a draw unless it's got a must have or is a really insanely good price.

I wouldn't pay more than $4.99 and even that's if I didn't have ANY of the titles already. Maybe to gift out I guess but it's not really tempting.

Wrong: it would be a "mystery key," and therefore the perfect gift.

Most of those aren't worth playing even for cheap/free. It might even help to trim some of them out(*coughbadratscough*), plus see if you can condense the Ironclads into a single key. It might make it a less impressive number, but you're gonna get less people who get halfway down the list and go "Meh" and walk away.

I don't think so, it's a lot of games but that's really all it is. If I wanted terrible games for cheap, there's a whole bunch of awful indie bundles for that already, that are also less than 10 usd.

Word, I've provided this feedback and suggested a much lower pricepoint for the bundle above, or alternatively, an entire catalog bundle at $9.99. I might get told to pound sand but I'll let you know if not.

If you're going to make a BAD GAMES BUNDLE then you should probably put it at a pricepoint where people can buy it as a gag gift. Even 4.99 would be a bit on the costly side for that awful heap.

Also, semi-related question since someone mentioned SR4 keys being region-locked: Are there any OTHER sites that sell keys for acceptable, non-terrible prices that CAN be activated in Europe? Because i'm vaguely considering getting it, but not for 50 euro.

Obviously legit sites, not shady-rear end ones that people aren't allowed to talk about anyway.

Make the bundle twenty copies of Bad Rats instead, watch the money roll in from people who think gifting it is comedy gold.

Check this offer: http://www.nuuvem.com.br/produto/1284-saints-row-iv-brasil

It's around 30 euros, check their forums about whats what with the key first tho.

If all those games somehow had Steam cards it would be appealing. Otherwise I have enough bundle filler bad games on Steam already.

I would have said either GMG or GetGamesGo but the latter doesn't carry it and it's full price on GMG, sorry.

Seriously, as one of the earliest Bad Rats Kings, believe me when I say you shouldn't even play it for laughs. It's just not fun, or even funny in how bad it is. It's just a terrible game that's kinda funny to watch other people react to for about 30 seconds.

I played it for a solid hour to make the guy who gave it to me feel awkward about the gift of good will.

I don't think it worked and I regretted every second of it.

I'm wondering if its too much to hope for a 25% off for BF4 on Amazon. Currently GMG has a 25% off coupon, but Bank of America freezes my credit card for suspicious activity every time I buy from them, so I don't really feel like bothering with that.

Use paypal as an intermediary on GMG? Can you do that? Worked for me.

When SEO just isn't enough.
The trick is to put Bad Rats in a bundle with cheap, amazing games so its purchases is unavoidable. Work some sort of bundle magic with Steam to make all the games for said bundle activate with one code. Or, as someone said above, make it a mystery code.

I glanced at the forum and it said that they would get international keys for people who pre-ordered, but that any keys after that would be region-locked, which they apparently still are.
