It's Konami, if it's anything like MGR...you gonna need to use vpn to activate it.
See here: http://steamdb.info/sub/29147/

Obviously there are 2 version floating around. So, where should I look in order to get the ROW version? Any idea?
Using VPN is even riskier, I dare not try that route. If cannot, the other only way is get it "FOC", lol.

Same with me cheers.gif Not that I wanna do it but was being forced by them. I have even leave a message on Konami and Kojima facebook and tweeter. This is what you asking for and here you get it. Don't blame others for pirating.

I have been downloading whole day and no problem with my Steam connection. And the speed is quite consistent as well.

Actually, I am thinking of getting this. Maybe I am just abnormal,lol.
I know the reviews are generally bad. But shooting tons of enemy never get old in rail shooter. In fact I still enjoy House of Dead IV/Overkill, Time Crisis 4 and Deadstorm Pirate in my PS3 with Move frequently thumbup.gif

Anyway, any one able to locate ROW copy of Castlevania 2, do share.

Playing an on-rails shooter on PC without the light gun is kinda silly as it defeats the purpose of playing on rails shooter with mouse and keyboard.

And Rambo is only 3 hours long, which is stupidly short for a $40 game. I wont even touch it for $4 even though I do miss on rails shooters from arcades.
*
I know what you mean, that is why I play all these titles on my PS3 instead of PC. Maybe I should wait until sales then.

i kinda enjoyed rail shooting on PC, especially House of The Dead series because I don't want spend too much token at arcade just to enjoy the story. (i can't remember how much money my friend spend just for House of the Dead 4 at arcade, but totally worth it thumbup.gif )

Ya, agree. Love these type of light gun arcade game. I have bought virtually all the light gun game for my PS3. Time Crisis 4/Raising Storm, Storm Pirate, House of Dead 2/3/4/Overkill. Heck, even Cabela's Dangerous Hunts. Like wise for my Wii.

so they expect steam gamers to buy games from their country and play in their country?

According to some, if you happened to travel abroad you can send an email to support to have them temporary lifted the locked. However, this is also very risky as one of the person got his account banned due to this. He actually made a purchase during the travel doh.gif

The region locked really making us simple gamer suffer.

This is utterly retarded as there should be no region lock in digital games. I understand if you want to region lock cheap Russian games for Russia, but please stop making life difficult for the rest of us.
What nonsense is this? Where the source for this?

I do travel around a lot where I do buy games from a few country during my travels which now, I am very likely to get banned. I'll be damn pissed if I get banned for no reason, as all the non Malaysia games I bought are all from countries with overpriced games.

I doubt i'll be buying as many games from Steam now while will support Humble, UPlay and GOG more.

I know it sounds non-sense. Here is the article in Reddit although it happened quite sometime ago.

I'd get BF4 over Ghost. For someone who has both of them, i'd say I have the experience of playing both them besides just reading reviews or etc.
BF4 is better in multiplayer as it has the big map which can play with a huge number of players which is 64.
Multiplayer experience is just great, considering it has a lot of assignments to unlock weapons and accomplishment for recognition for replayability.
All those heli, tank, bike, jetski, boat and others are fun to play with too.
The only downside is the campaign which is ok up until the ending haha.

For Ghost.. Multiplayer wise is super boring  shakehead.gif
Same number of players like last time, small map and well just same old BO2.
But the campaign is awesome, as the story is very interesting.

If you really are into this game just get it. Multiplayer for BF4 will suck a whole load of hours like probably 200+ or 500+ hours of game time.
If you don't play that much don't bother la  laugh.gif

Great advice. Will definitely consider your comment. By the way, BF4 now is also having a sales with Digital Deluxe only at USD38 (50% discount). Both also very tempting.

They do but still very costly only 27% discount.
I think I would Just grab the digital deluxe edition and get whatever DLC that interest me later.

Totally agree and that is the reason why Battlefield 3 is my last Battlefield game. No longer going to support EA products until they set their priority straight.

The bugs such as the netcodes you are facing in Battlefield 4 had been there since Battlefield 2 Bad Company till Battlefield 3 and now Battlefield 4 (They don't even bother to fix it) and what you are playing on Battlefield 4 is exactly what the community recommends on the Battlefield 3 forum (They just took everything from the community and claim it as their own).

And the premium is just killing the game IMO. Battlefield 3 > Priority Queue (Seriously?) and a DLC that consist of only a few maps and some weapons but cost you like 20 bucks? And they even get to the point where you can unlock everything in the game by paying for the kit shortcuts which cost like 50 bucks plus.

Battlefield was once a great game. But EA has monopolise it (that is what they do best) and now the fan base is going lower and lower.
*
I can see what you all are coming from and believe me I know your pain.
I decided to take the plunge is because I have never played any battlefield seires previously. Before that, the only experience I have was COD BO2. So now I just wanted to see whats the differences that separate this two franchise.
And the other reason is BF4 already out for quite sometime now, EA should have sorted out most of the bug by now.
I will reporting back if I have encounter any problem.

Play Planetside 2 and join a decent outfit. The experience in Planetside 2 is vastly superior than what Battlefield can offer while SOE is much more attentive than EA.

If I had the time, I would have played Planetside 2.

Heard good from that game. Might look into it later.

What about Diablo III Reaper of Souls? Thinking of pre-ordering from Battlenet the Deluxe edition. Worth it?

Oh c'mon really? I logged into steam from my browser and they locked me out from the market for 7 days, just because I logged in from a 'new device'

Is it? I have logging from 2 notebooks and 1 desktop fine so far. If this is the case then I have to be very careful then.
