Metal Gear Rising Not Available in Ireland

ussjtrunks

Anyone know what's going on here its up in every other country bar here?

Dravokivich

Hmm.... my work proxy goes through France, but the steam site is in English for me. I can see it on the homepage, here's the link:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/235460/

Does it get blocked off for you after the age check?

ussjtrunks

It goes straight to site error

An error was encountered while processing your request:

This item is currently unavailable in your region

I could even trade stuff for it but it has a new region lock so not sure where I can get it from

I was really looking forward to this...I wonder why it's not up

EJ22

been on neogaf/reddit etc along with tweeting konami and still no response. it doesn't make much sense considering that we can go into the likes of gamestop etc and buy it for console. I'm half tempted to buy it on Amazon.com as it works out around 13 euro atm with 5 quid credit voucher for january. Unsure if it will activate however :S

leon27

Konami have tweeted that they are looking into it, not much good if they only fix it after the discount is up of course.....

EJ22

I hope we get some sort of compensation regarding pre-purchase as I honestly loved this game on the 360 and now that its finally coming to pc gets me excited although in all honesty, the biggest reason i want to purchase it is to help show Konami and other japanese developers that there is a market for their games on PC in the hopes that we get more games coming over like MGS:V et al.

ussjtrunks

Still Nothing bad form Konami ::(

Gummy Panda

tbh it might be an awful port so they could be saving you from yourself.

Look at the processor minimum requirement, seems a bit odd

leon27

They're still investigating apparently, I would have thought it would be an easy fix.

ussjtrunks

I was able to get it from an American trader for €16 which it what its selling for in other EU countries atm and its pre-loading now

but be careful if you want to trade for it, its locked in Brazil / Russia and The steam keys are locked in brazil, russia and US so you need to either get a steamgift from US or EU or a key from an EU seller like gamefly etc.

leon27

It's a pretty poor response from konami tbh, they've now said they'll have something next week but surely they could let us know if it's just a mistake that will be fixed or not.

EJ22

any chance of a link to the trader you got it from ussjtrunks?

Taking 3 weeks for an answer to why a game isn't available in this country is well and truly taking the piss.

Not sure if this is related but Walking Dead Season 2 on Xbox 360 apparently was released in most places bar Ireland, New Zealand and Russia citing rating difficulties.

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/443500/walking-dead-season-2-suffers-delays-in-ireland-russia-and-new-zealand/

Has something changed in the process of approving 18 rated games in this country that could be causing delays?

Zeouterlimits

Looks to be solved now/in the next 24 hours.
Konami EU Twitter and Steven Key [Kojima Productions EU] sent me a tweet asking if I could see on Steam now, that it should be solved for Ireland now or in the next 24 hours.

ussjtrunks

Mine already pre-loaded thank god for steam gifting that 23.7gb dowload is huge

Glad to see them getting it sorted though

EJ22

Great that it is being sorted but are we getting any form of discount as a result of missing out on the promotion

Its still 20% off so around €16, I doubt they will put it back to 33% but it would be nice

EJ22

according to someone on gaf, seems like we can still buy and activate from nuuvem. key works out around 12 quid from them atm but can't confirm if it works or not

I heard the nuuvem keys are locked to north/south america

hmm well i'm not going to chance it.

In better news, according to MGR's steamdb entry, Ireland is no longer in PurchaseRestrictedCountries so just to wait for Steam to actually update.

bought a key from nuuvem. activated no bother, didnt need vpn. ended up at 12.88 but that was through pre order promotion. think norm price still cheaper than steam though when converted

Thats interesting heard the keys were locked to north/south america good deal there for anyone else who wants to grab a copy, hoping the pc port is good been waiting to play it for awile

+ yeah the steam gift I got was €16 and its €16 in the other EU stores its cheaper in brazil/russia but the steam version from those countries are region locked as they say so on the gift

Gaf was saying that only the steam copies were, that american retail keys were actually ROW. Took the chance as i was gonna VPN it if it didn't work and sure enough it did. I'm looking forward to this, loved it on the 360 so hoping that the PC version is not a bad console port

EJ22

Nuuvem added 11 hours to the pre order promo for mgr. Link of anyone wants it or knows anyone interested

ussjtrunks

Its on the irish store now with the 20% discount the discount ends in 3 1/2 hrs

ussjtrunks

Port is good not dropped below 60fps on max settings, played the whole 1st level and the game is awesome reminds me of beyonetta actually

Shorty11857

So they finally put it up on the store, and no discount...don't think Konami is getting my money

leon27

It was up briefly with the discount but it's a bit late tbh. No explanation as to why we were singled out either.

Seemed to be a clerical error going from my interactions with them on Twitter.

You can still get it cheap via Nuuvem as mentioned above.

I thought the game was region locked?

Ej22 tried it earlier and it appears at least the keys on nuuvem are region free

This is available in ireland now 19.99euro, seems a decent price( its £19.99 in the UK steam store ), cant remember what the Christmas sale price was.

EJ22

incase anyone wants to use their DS4 for playing MGR:R. I've heard its meant to be great so am going to try it out myself in a bit

http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-DS4-To-XInput-Wrapper

EDIT: Also someone has already made some SweetFX settings which should work since the game is Dx9

The game will 20% for us until the 16th, we did get an extension of the sale.

There is a confirmed bug that causes the game to not work in offline mode or if you get disconnected, hope they're able to fix that soon.
