[Steam] Holiday Sale - Encore Sale (2 Days of Encore Sales)

1020

TWO DAYS LEFT OF SALE, THE PRICE ON THE TITLES ARE FINAL. BUY NOW. IT WON'T BE LOWER.

Be careful with games from any third party like Amazon or GamesPlanetUK. It's hard to find out if games are region locked. Sometimes you can check on steamdb.info and other times you cant. If you're worried about buying a region locked game I suggest researching the game to see if other users have faced similar issues

      If someone can confirm you can poop in convertibles - sold

  • +1

    FYI southpark is only $13.59 in USA so if you have any usa friends you can get them to buy it for you.

    i was able to get southpark + all the dlc for less then $12

    • Thanks, updated OP. Did you have any issues with activating?

      • I was able to get the code, and it wasn't able to be redeemed on Steam.

        • Can you redeem it if you use a VPN?

          Edit: Never mind, read you got a refund. I apologise that I wasn't able to warn you.

      • didnt have an issue at all, had my mate buy it for me as a gift and it worked fine
        * im not talking about a code*

  • +1

    South Park is showing as $13.59 USD for me on Amazon….? anyone bought it?.

    • i read some people had to use the keys thru vpn not 100% sure

      • I buy the majority of my steam games on Amazon. I would bet that no USA would be region locked for AUS. Locking generally exists for those that don't live in 1st world countries

        • It happens sometimes when games are censored in some region. I feel like I've heard people mention that South Park is one of those games that will require VPN to activate the game.

        • i bought a game the other day from amazon was region locked

        • @pakon29:

          Ok yep I get you. Like Saints Row IV. If a game is not region locked but the uncersoring is then a VPN would be required to download

        • @mp3police:

          Which game? Manhunt is the only game I know of

        • @4agte:

          The Cursed Crusade [Download]

          says cant activate in my region

        • Steam has recently enforced region locking for most of their games. Most of the games from Russia are completely region locked so it's hard to find information regarding region locking.

        • +2

          @mp3police:

          It certainly is according to http://www.steamlocks.tk/index.php. I find it strange Amazon hasn't listed DRM steam despite getting a key.

  • Excuse me how can you buy Stick of Truth, uncensored from Amazon? It's not through Steam, surely?!?!
    Like you have to download it from Amazon or someone else right?..?

    I was under the impression it's got the new "non regionable giftable" flag or some crazy thing? Like if your Steam account has an AU CCard or AU address, you will NOT get the uncensored version?

    Can someone clarify? …

    • +1

      DRM is clearly marked steam. So definitely Steam.

      Change Amazon billing address to somewhere in the USA

      Redeem received code as per normal

      • +1

        Have you actually tried it? Because I just bought this and it isn't working.

        Got the code from Amazon but Steam will not redeem it saying it is not available for purchase in your country.

        • Actually no. I based my answer on previous experiences with Amazon Steam purchases. Over 50 of them. I don't see Steams recent changes to region locking being the issue. As that was more aimed at CIS countries to stop Russian key sellers. I have been able to redeem games like GTA IV which also shows as Region locked on http://www.steamlocks.tk/index.php. Maybe I had my VPN at the time and never noticed. I can probably help you by gifting you your key if you like?

        • +1

          All good - I hit up Amazon and told them the situation and they've agreed to refund my money - I'll just purchase through Steam. As you've said, I've purchased a bit through Amazon (As recent as last month) and it was all good then =/

          +1 to Amazon's customer service though, I thought they'd tell me to get stuffed.

        • @Wally Simmonds:

          That's awesome customer service by Amazon. Don't let this experience deter you, as there is plenty of money to be saved with genuine region free games. That site I linked previously seems to detect those regional issues well

        • EXACTLY - and so steam finally turn into a bunch of region locked bastards, this is the first game like this, be prepared to see more of this rubbish.

    • +1

      To be honest im more inclined to purchase the censored version as I've heard they have replaced the censored material with comedic jabs at censorship

      • I've played uncensored, you want the uncensored.

  • +2

    Two days of encore sale…this is so disappointing :(

  • Any good OS X deals?

  • Football Manager 2015 on that UK site seems pretty good. thanks for the alternative pricing.

    • isnt it region locked?

      • Is it? I have no idea, I saw the steam activation but haven't bought a copy yet.

        Is that normal practice?

        • +1

          No for FM but they started to do it this year :/

        • +1

          @smurfinaus: that's bloody lame. Thanks for the heads up.
          I'll check it out a little more but it says the game on the UK site is 'Please note this game is not available for sale in Germany, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong & Korea.'

          So I'm assuming australia should be fine and judging by Sega Uk website.

          http://www.sega.co.uk/regions/

          Seems region locking only occurs in countries that probably charge even less for digital content ( the only reason I can think of why the region locking doesn't say UK, Australia etc)

          It's still annoying and I can't say the reviews on steam fill me with confidence but it has been a while since I bought this game as a few of the negatives are those who had last year's version.

    • Just bought and activated/downloaded on Steam, Football Manager 15 from GamesPlanetUK. Was about $29AUD with Paypal conversion.

      • Thanks for confirming you had no problems.

  • Transistor and Child of Light are my final two thoughts, any comments or recommendations on these guys?

    • +1

      Transistor was good enough, the start is a bit slow. I enjoyed Bastion far more. I wouldn't put it in a "must play" pile.

    • Child of Light but not the DLC.

  • Any personal opinions/reviews on Don't Starve?

    • +1

      Its brutal and hell of a lot of fun. If you grab Don't Starve Together and play the beta with mates, it gets even better.

      • Yeah I want to buy this having previously 'tested' it but lack someone to pay with. BTW anyone that has posted two player, does it make it a hell of a lot easier?

    • +1

      Don't Starve is a good survival game. If you get Don't Starve, you will also get Don't Starve Together which is the free multiplayer expansion pack when it comes out of the beta this year or you can buy it now for beta access for $5. Characters all have different abilities which is really nice. A bit of humour in the game. Game itself is quite polished, I bought it when it was in pre-release and it was quite smooth even then. There's also a lot of useful mods on steam for this game to make things more interesting/fun/easier

  • I thought the sale was going to be on the last day, does that mean that there won't be another price drop on the 2nd? I just want to make sure before I grab everything now. I'm assuming this is the last final timed for the winter sale?

    • +2

      Encore is usually the summary final offers from the sale.

      • Yeah, I just normally expect them on the last day not the last 2. But I'm using Enhanced Steam and I've noticed on certain days in Dec 2014 some of the games were cheaper, so I can assume there I missed out on the proper flash sales. That kind of sucks, was hoping they'd do the the lowest sale price featured in the sale because I did miss out on a few here and there.

  • http://www.amazon.com/Saints-Row-Online-Game-Code/dp/B00BQHQ…

    So on saints row IV the amazon version, once its downloaded (via VPN) will it play normally?
    I could never play a censored game :/

  • +1

    and wtf??? it was a amazon link to Saint row IV

    So on saints row IV the amazon version, once its downloaded (via VPN) will it play normally?
    I could never play a censored game :/

    • dont need a vpn i bought this and it works fine also go the season pass for like $1

  • +1

    There's a simple patch to uncensor Stick of Truth for steam version. Worked on mine which I'd pre-ordered back then.

  • the saints row franchise pack , is that censored or uncensored version?

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition is tempting at around $7 but
    Flight Simulator X Gold Edition boxed from EB for $18 also looks good.

    • +1

      Why? Steam edition is optimized and apparently gives better frame rates. Steam edition includes the Acceleration pack. Steam edition is cheaper.

  • I purchased the Amazon version of Stick of truth and it isn't redeemable on Steam for me. I'd be very surprised if anyone else has any luck

    • -1

      Amazon wouldn't let me buy it in the first place because I didn't have a US address

  • +3

    Bought Tales of Monkey Island pack for $7.50, 75% off. Not on the list.

    Also got GoT series, thanks OP :)

  • I think there is a problem with the "historic low" price of Borderlands the Pre-Sequel. It costs 15 Pounds according to the website, which puts it at $28, not ~$24 as you say.

    The historic low would have to go to nuuvem for selling it at ~$23 :)

    • i was lucky to buy it for $7 from a guy that wanted to trade it for space engineers which i was able to buy super cheap :D
      but i am looking for a second copy to play with the gf

    • It was about 18-19 AUD from nuuvem couple weeks back.

  • +1

    Bioshock Infinite is cheaper on Amazon. $7.49
    http://www.amazon.com/BioShock-Infinite-Online-Game-Code/dp/…

  • How do the Nuuvem deals work?

    The CIV Beyond Earth prices are closer to AU$45 after conversion from Brazilian Real.

    • deal is over it appears

    • It was as low as $23.50 AU on Nuuvem 2 days ago. Flash deal though. Blink and its gone.

  • Is there a way to buy the games off the alternative store location? For example, Rome 2 is cheaper on the UK steam store:

    https://www.steamprices.com/au/app/214950/total-war-rome-ii-…

    I can use Hola addon for chrome and add it to cart.. anyone know if this works?

  • +2

    I recommend NOT purchasing Dark Souls II, apparently the is a new "HD" version coming out shortly which will be sold as a separate game, anyone who buys now will not get any free upgrades.

    I'm just passing on the link and info, what people make of it is up to them.
