Dead Island 2 Pc Uncut In Deutschland
Sandrine Willert
Since a lot of people are asking "If I buy there, do I get a cut version?", I think I should make a thread about it and answer the most asked questions about it. Feel free to ask things or share your experiences with issues. Also note that information in this thread probably doesn't match all games and situations, there are always exceptions.
a) Trade! Look out on the major trading sites and try to get a gift of the game you want. Most traders want keys for it. But always beware of scammers and only trade inside the trading window.
Major trading sites are:
You can check that over at SteamDB if you know where your trader lives or what kind of copy you'll get. Just search for your game, then click on the version, that you want to buy. A quick example: after searching "Skyrim" I chose the russian copy of Skyrim. A new site opens and there I can see this. As you can see there is a line called "onlyallowrunincountries". If your country isn't in there, you can't run it! If there is no line, there is no restriction on it.
Another thing is the activation of keys: Note that a few of the resellers (I'm looking at you, getloadedgo) tend to have no clue or are just unaware of that issue, so I suggest you to check these SteamDB entries as well. Why? Well,
(1) some shops just say "not for Germany", but if you buy there with (or even without) an fake adress you just get an uncut key as well (which is obviously good for you) or
(2) the shop says nothing about locks, but the publisher has locked the keys. (Often hapens when buying from Russia)
Now back to SteamDB: Let's take CoD: Black Ops Retail as an example: This key has "PurchaseRestrictedCountries". If you are in there, you are blocked. Write a "Thank you!"-letter to the publisher. If there is no version with region restrictions then you are fine.
Very easy, if you speak German. Click the link below and search for the game. Then read the article about it. If you don't speak German, I suggest you to use a translator, but most of the times you can see the most important things from the images.
If somebody shares a cut game, the game remains cut. If someone shares an uncut game, the game remains uncut. If a shared game is not available in your region (no store page), you can still play it. If a game is region locked in your country, it remains region locked if you are not in the required region.
Well, after buying HL2 and wondering why all npcs despawn almost immediately after dying, I thard it was the cut-version so I went to Schnittberichte.com where it said that HL2 would be cut very badly.. but that's not the case anymore since some official un-cut update.
So, does it happen often that the site's articles are out-of-date?
bump again for non-existing Dead Rising Deal, seems like Steam removed Dead Rising 2 from the German Steam store, I was sure I saw it friday... However, note again: Dead Rising 2: Off the Record: Capcom verlangt, dass das Spiel mit einer IP-Adresse aus Deutschland weder installiert noch aktualisiert werden kann. //this game must not be installed or updated with an German IP!
Bump for Deep Silver sale day 2 and getloadedgo deals. Looks like Darkness 2 is definitly fine and for Sniper V2 I don't see any region restrictions, but it's getloadedgo, I don't see much logic behind most of their restrictions anyway... But undead Nazis are obviosly bad.
