Damn.. took me like 3 hours.

I don't do speed runs.
I usually try to take my time w/ a game and try to soak it in.

And I was trying to find every single DATA COLLECTION Item that I could find and was searching everywhere for them.
I think I missed a few, though.

KOA:R must have the worst mouse driven camera I've ever seen, moving my mouse sideways causes the camera to drive upwards at a slant and get stuck there. At least it's perfectly playable with my controller. Combat with chakrams is excellent, even if these ones I have are extremely overpowered.

I played with chakrams. Towards the end of the game it wasn't even close to being a challenge

Wasn't fond of KB/mouse controls for KOA:R either.
I used X360 Gamepad for KOA:R.

You can go here and download a mod that changes the difficulty. I never could get it to work with the Steam version but I can with the Origin version.

Also download the "Widescreen Fixer" (https://www.widescreenfixer.org/) and you can use it to change the field of vision.

Well, it looks like 2k has activated the BS "region lock after release" again.

I bought a copy off of Jake and have been playing it for quite a while. Now I update it today and can no longer play it. EFFING GREAT. They region locked the Civ V gift too.

Way to go 2K, you take the money for the sales and then make them useless. I am so pissed right now.

Well unless the seller told you it was a Russian key and you bought it anyways, I would be mad at them. I feel your pain, but I honestly wish more companies would region lock their games to avoid all this shady third party key selling.

If it was from jake I'd imagine it was a trade through steam and not a key. Trades have been in the past ROW games once it was traded.

I checked my list and it is an (RU) title in my history.

It was from Jake (JakeNome). He's from the Ukraine, and everyone knows that.


EDIT: Ninja'd. Or maybe I just don't refresh my pages.

Ah, well I've never bought from him, but it seems he has good feedback so I would contact him about the situation. I understand the frustration, but it's a risk you take when you buy out of region.

Normally with games traded, at least in the past once they were traded from one region to the next they became ROW. If it was traded this is an issue Steam would need to addressed by them i would think. They shouldn't allow trades outside of regions if this is going to be an issue.

I didn't know that, and now I'm locked out of my XCOM I legit paid for. You could argue "legit" but it doesn't tell you in the trade window, and I have no idea where he's from, his Steam profile says the US.

I really enjoyed the game, and even if I tried to buy a NA copy now, Steam won't let me. So 2K took the sale, someone got my money and now I don't have anything, and I'm barred from a copy I can play because the game is already in my library.

Way to go all around.

Well, when someone is selling a vast amount of new releases for cheaper than what they sell for in your region, it should be common sense that they're buying the games for cheaper within a different region.

I'm not trying to be rude, because I understand how ridiculous the situation is, but I think it's a little obvious that those kind of prices aren't coming from someone who just thought it would be nice to buy 5 copies of a game for $60 and sell them for $48.

It was the FIRST time I've ever bought anything like that and not just directly from Steam. I admit I was a little curious and felt there was a catch of some sort, specifically that it may be an RU key. Never bought one but I've heard of the whole thing.

After it was traded and in my Library, it displayed RU, but not in the trade window anywhere, and I was assured by Jake it was region free, which it was. So I wasn't really concerned.

The practice of selling something as region free and then region locking it within a week just seems scummy to me, and I've worked for EA for the past 2 years, I've seen scummy practices.

Trying really hard to feel bad for people. It's the risk you deal with when you buy from out of your region to circumvent prices. There's a reason the CD key reseller site deals that get posted here are frequently deleted. Granted, if you didn't know, I feel a bit bad for you, but I'd say over half the people getting them know what they're doing.

But anyways, 2k backed off on Borderlands so I wouldn't be surprised to see if they backed off on this eventually.

I've seen people on the 2K forums mentioning some kind of Borderlands fiasco. In trying to find out what can/will be done (if anything), I've been curious. What exactly happened? All I saw was that the Russian version was region locked to the area or something, and that they were investigating refunds due to some kind of mishap in the explanation of the region locking.

I'm hoping that selling a region free product and then locking it later is some kind of grounds for an arguement on some sort.

Care to explain what happened with Borderlands though?

Borderlands was region locked close to release date, RU only could play with RU, and even some of the surronding countries were stuck with it (some of which don't have a huge russian speaking populace). This had something to do with the RU publisher. It was removed shortly after the bruhaha came to light and sites like RPS were reporting on it, and now if you buy a RU copy you get the regular version of the game as well.

Keep in mind, XCOM isn't even out in Europe/Russia yet, so while it seems like they're doing it post release to you, it isn't so much for them. There's always a chance this is, again, something to do with the RU publishing rights and that 2k will work to correct it.

I didn't know this. Never traded with him.
Did anyone lose their Russian copies of Saints Row the third?
