    Is this game come in steam DRM?

      • -1

        That first trailer was just… bad to watch.

    • +4

      No, this game will be through the Windows Store.

  • nice find!

  • How are you actually paying for it? They only accept credit card and it won't verify with a fake address in India…?

    • +6

      Well bugger me, it did work! Hilton Hotel in Jaipur - I enjoyed my virtual stay but I'm off to play some Tomb Raider!

      • lol glad it worked for you :)

      • Which card did you use?
        AU Credit card?

        • +1

          NAB, got redirected to NAB Visa verification website for the OSID on the back of the card, but went through fine.

          Changing the region back to Australia it still shows the Install option…

        • +1

          I used my 28 degrees card and put my address as 1 india st, jaisalmer, ragistan, 302001
          It's installing now

      • Yeah thanks for the address. I used that as well.

        • Used 28 degrees card, worked fine.

          Anybody need address, I can ping you some address of my ex-neighbours :)

    • +4

      Ukraine worked fine for me with my real street address/suburb/state. Just added a zero to the end of my postcode. Bankwest Zero Platinum.

      • +1

        Thanks, worked with my Westpac Mastercard as well…

  • Do you have to do this each time you want to launch it?

    • Don't think so, But I haven't tried it yet.

    • No once you buy it you can switch back to Australian store and search rise of tomb raider and it has install button :)

  • +11

    Cheaper at the Ukrainian Windows Store costs 234UAH which converts to around 12.877AUD according to Google.

      Naw I just bought it. Ah well $5 doesn't make a difference to me.

      • +6

        Lol why am I getting down voted? I'm already saving a bunch with this and pulled the trigger too quickly and missed out on an extra $5 discount…..oh noooo's how about I bitch and complain. Nope. I'm just gonna be happy and grateful to the OP.

        • I will post a free app or something worth $5 to make it up to you :D

        • +2

          @Jimmy007: Lol seriously, I got it for ~$18, I still got it for a steal.

    • I will add this link to the deal instead of the other one :) Thanks

  • It's a 26GB download btw…….:/

    • +1

      It told me that at the start but when it actually started, it said 17.

      • It probably takes 26gb disk space but only downloads 17gb due to compression

  • +4

    I bought a steam key version of this yesterday for $50 something, prettiest game I have ever played!!! :)

    • Mine seems to be stuck at 0.1GB…..hasn't changed for a while

      • Hmm, yeah… downloads not moving at all… but it could just be my janky internet

        • +4

          I can see my network going strong though. With my past experience with the MS store, the app isn't very well developed. If you start and stop the download you'll get a rough idea about how much you've got……I think.

          Seems to only update in chuncks. e.g. Mine went from 1.0GB to 1.5GB without anything in between. This is an American company….they sometimes forget not everyone has internet speeds like them :P (Thanks Libs)

  • Haha in the Windows Store app it says "To get the most out of this you need more RAM"…
    Yeah.
    Sure.
    Does Satya Nadella own shares in Micron or something?

    • I have 20GB….will that be enough?

      • +1

        Not when 32GB isn't enough lol I think its a mistake

        • RAM or VRAM?

  • Can't see the Endurance Mode DLC listed via the MS Store.

    • You have to launch the game then on the main menu click marketplace and you can buy the DLC or season pass there.

  • Would probably have bought this game however I don't think my HP 15-af108AU quite has the power :/.

    • I think it should work on xbox as well

      • Somehow I HIGHLY doubt they would be that nice to us as well, lol

        • +2

          According to NeoGAF you have been able to buy xbox one games from Ukraine region by changing your region on the Web store to Ukraine and then purchasing the games. The method has been working for over a year so who knows if/when they will stop this.

  • +6

    Good price for a great game - l played it on xbone.

    It cost me $49

    i finished it then sold it for $50

  • Wait is this compatible with Xbox as well? Kinda confused with the pic they used. Cheers.

    • +2

      You just log in with your Xbox ID and it tracks achievements etc, like any Xbox branded game on Windows.

      • Ah I see how that works. Cheers!

    • +2

      Achievements would be linked, but you still have to buy the "for Xbox One" version if you want to play it on that

      • Understood. Thank you!

  • Waiting for goty with dlc now

  • Can you buy it from the Windows 8 store?

    Havent updated my main system yet to Windows 10.. :(

    • +2

      Requires Windows 10 (and the most up to date version via updates as well).

  • +6

    Тханкс!

  • Damn.. I bought it from GMG for $55 2 days ago.

    Great price.

  • Are there any other AAA games on MS store?

    • +1

      It's getting Gears of War Ultimate and Killer Instinct when they launch

    • +1

      nope, this is being hailed as the first… I imagine they'll start bringing in region controls etc after they see what happens with this one, lol

      • +1

        Yeah.. i don't doubt it for a second.. Wonder if there's any worthwhile apps in the store..

      • +1

        People have been doing the same thing on the Xbox One store for over two years. Not sure it's a big issue for them.

    • +1

      A game called ReCore (From the creator of Mega Man) is also coming. I'm not sure about the other AAA games from the big companies though, since they have their own software. Origin - EA, Uplay - Ubisoft

  • +2

    If people want a steam version the cheapest way atm is to get a nvidia code from someone who wants to sell theirs (various reddit subreddits)

  • +2

    Not working for me, says I need latest windows update, But Windows isn't finding any updates

    • +1

      Same here… not sure why

      • same for me…
        using SP4
        there are no updates to install

        Micro-hard must have caught onto the ozbargainers lol

        • Secret update we don't know about :/

        • @plague69:

          hidden relic update :)

        • +1

          did you check the optional updates?

        • @Jimmy007:

          After 4 restarts and countless checks for updates… it just found a new update…1511!!!

          Just running it now :)

          Update you after this.

          Thanks mate

        • @Jimmy007: Yea, I did. Just got off the live chat where the MS rep played a little with my PC and said; i quote:
          "As I have check this is an emerging issue and our development team is currently working on updates to fix this issue. And I also found out that this has nothing to do with the Windows 10 version you are using."

          also

          "I'm sorry I cannot give you the exact date as to when you can download it, but rest assured we are doing our best for this issue to be fixed."

        • @darkknightwayno: :S I'll restart 2 more times then, thanks for the heads up

        • @plague69:

          Yes champ

          Keep restarting and checking for updates…. Its finally installing now.

          Took 20 mins to download lol on 50mbps!!!!

          Lucky the Cricket and Tennis is on to keep me going….

          Good luck!!!

        • +1

          @darkknightwayno: Tennis just ended… Still restarting lol. 1511 is illusive lol

        • @plague69:

          MS wont you to earn this game at oz-bargain price :)

          Ssssshhhhhhhhhh!!! ;)

        • @darkknightwayno: -_- guess what guys, reformatted computer and am now 1511! $13 gone, but so much happier. Great game. Very similar so far to the first one. Still amazing views!

        • +1

          @plague69:

          Congrats on getting 1511 installed finally, even if it took nuking the thing and reinstalling.

          I'm at my wits end with mine. I think I might have to do the same. I only just formatted recently however and really don't want to have to activate all my software licenses again >_<

        • +1

          @IsometricBacon:

          Did the Media Creation Tool update - can confirm that it doesn't wipe your licenses, installations or registrations. Now I can finally start downloading the thing!

    • Is this the game itself or the purchase that isn't working?

      • The windows store app doesn't let you purchase anything without being on the latest build of win10, seems like a bug

    • +1

      Apparently there's a bit of screwing aroudn with the november 1511 windows 10 update, I'm downloading it now via the media creation tool, unfortunately it's going at 300KB/s on a 100mb/s connection :\

    • same, I cant click buy :(

      • +1

        updated windows.. now i can lol

    • +1

      I had to disable auto updates, and then checked for an update and it found the 1511.

    • +1

      EDI: Removed as it apprenly does not work, This is your best bet.

      The MediaCreationTool is your best bet.

  • Wierd, changed to Ukraine, went to purchase, entered my amex details along with a fake Ukraine address and it says it can't validate this with your payment provider and kicks me back. Tried again with another card (mastercard) and same thing. Is it something to do with my card making transactions in Ukraine (i.e. a bank issue)?

    • +2

      Okay, so it worked with the India store and not the Ukraine store. It's a payment provider issue, if you've got a commbank issued card it seems it won't let you transact in ukraine, but you can in India once you've been redirected to an additional step to verify your identity (two factor via phone sms).

      Oh well.. $18 still good :)

    • +1

      The purchase went through the Ukraine store, at the price mentioned in the original post.. fake Ukranian address, CBA credit card went through. Downloading it now. Windows 10 was up to date beforehand!

      The Windows store app isnt the greatest at updating quickly as mentioned (below). Will let you know if there are any issues with the game working. I prefer the Steam ecosystem,but for $12.50 AUD, cant complain!

  • +1

    If I already bought the xbox1 version is it ok for me to pirate the pc version?

    • +11

      Sure, its a victimless crime

      Just like punching someone in the dark

    • +2

      One of those moral grey areas I would say, lol… though I've bought GTA5 on 3 platforms now haha

      • -1

        Seriously, people downvoting for someone doing the legal thing and paying for their 360, Xbone and PC copies of games? lol

        • +4

          I didn't down vote you, but you did pay for the same thing 3 times over, and this is ozbargain :P

        • Yeah. Thats pretty messed up!

        • -1

          @TRANCE: but always on sale! lol

        • +1

          @TRANCE: if he purchased 3 times cause he found 3 bargains then I say hes a trublu Ozby

      Game uses denuvo DRM, it won't be hacked for a looong time
