General Humble Bundle/Weekly Sale Thread

[JSoup]

So, this is new. Instead of just a $5 bundle of games, they have a weekly sale where you can get the game and some other neat stuff as well.

The first one is Bastion.

For $1, Unlock Bastion on Steam and DRM-free downloads.

For minimum, Digital Soundtrack (MP3/FLAC), Bastion Digital Art Pack, Bastion Sheet Music, Bastion iPhone/Android Ringtones.

For $25+, Bastion Bandana, Bastion Original, Soundtrack CD, Bastion Postcard, Transistor Postcard.

That's pretty awesome. Hope weekly really means weekly.

I honestly don't know how I feel about this. I get kind of a sour taste in my mouth like I did with the Humble THQ bundle. I hope they continue distributing bundles along with this. If they stop that practice, it'll be a big shame, and I'll be pretty bummed out. Humble bundle was one of the best things to happen, EVER.

As far as Bastion goes; if you don't already have it, it's worth way more than $1, and even if you do, the inclusion of the soundtrack for about $3 would make this worthy as well. Though unless you're really wanting to support the developers, the $25 package is a bit lacking. A hard copy of the soundtrack, a bandana, and a few postcards doesn't seem worth it.

[JSoup]

I'm sort of hoping this replaces the bundle for a while. Many of the bundles have repeat games in them and I'm sure I'm not the only one who pauses to consider if the remaining games in a bundle I don't have are worth the $5 or so I'm going to spend (the previous bundle is an example of one I found not worth it, simply because I already had most of the games). These weekly ones will allow them to break up the bundles into individual sales with perks. I'd pay $3 for Botanica if it was offered for that, as an example.

Doesn't make sense. If only one game you want is in the bundle, then it's worth the 5-6 dollars you'll pay since you would have to pay close to same amount elsewhere. You'll get the soundtracks as well, and the games are free of DRM. Last bundle had shank 2, and even though I already had the game, I would have paid the 6 dollars JUST for that soundtrack. Considering that most commercially available game soundtracks go for around $9.99 on amazon, you're getting a good deal.

Plus, you get extra steam keys for repeat games; I usually just give those to my family members, so nothing really goes to waste. You're also looking at one game for $3 vs 8 or so games for $7. You spend way more with the one game a week.

Subjective. The only person who can decide if a game is a good deal for me is me. If I can't find a game at a price I want, I'll either wait until I can find the game at the price I want or just pirate it (or maybe borrow it, depends on the situation).

Sound tracks are usless to me. Sure, I'm getting a financial deal on something that normally costs $9+, but if I don't want it what am I really gaining?


Plus, you get extra steam keys for repeat games; I usually just give those to my family members, so nothing really goes to waste.

Situational and will be different for everyone. Everyone I know that would be interested in a code for any of the bundle games no longer needs it, as they bought the bundle just like I did.


You're also looking at one game for $3 vs 8 or so games for $7. You spend way more with the one game a week.

You're assuming I'm going to be jumping on every sale every week, which just isn't going to happen. Additionally, your math is off. The lowest price I can pay is $1 for the game and the game is all I need. So it's 8 or so games for $8 (at one game a week) vs. 8 or so games for $7 all at once. Given that the difference in price is so small, I have to make my purchase based on the game selection.

[kupomogli]

I also like this one game a week because each game you get is $1 minimum. Which I won't lie, I'm going to pay $1 since I dislike digital and haven't played any of the games I got on any of the bundles except two. Plus I'm cheap. This way I'll only pay for the games I want. If I already own the game or the game doesn't interest me, then I'll pass on it, but if it's something that I'm actually interested in, then I'll get it. Also no paying the average to get specific games either.

[Griking]

I'm not really sure that I get the point. If a person wanted just that one game then wouldn't they have likely already picked it up from Steam or directly from the developer?

Also, I can understand why a developer would want their game featured in a bundle but why would they want to sell their game this way and basically compete against their own stores?

[JSoup]

You'd think that, but you'd be underestimating how cheap people can be. Bastion looks nice, but I wasn't going to pay $15 for it (specifically because it's a digital download, I don't like paying more than $10 at the most for a game I can't even physically touch). I got it via an Indie Bundle for something like $4. There is the possibility that someone might be trying buying it as a cheap gift.

It's a strange quark of digital downloads, I find.

[JSoup]

So, new weekly sale is up.

$1 for Darksiders (with OST) & Red Faction: Armageddon (with OST & Path of War DLC).
Beat the average for Darksiders II (with OST) & Red Faction: Guerrilla.

https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly

Sorta tempted on this one, specifically for cheap ass Darksiders II, although I'd prefer it on the PS3 and I'm not sure my PC can even run the game.

If screen tearing bothers you I'd recommend getting the PC version. Also, Darksiders 2 isn't that great anyways. It's a larger game, but the combat is worse and the story is boring.

[JSoup]

New sales for this week:

$1 for:
Red Orchestra (+ OST)
Red Orchestra 2 (Game of the Year Edition + OST)

Minimum for:
Killing Floor (OST + 11 DLC packs)

[JSoup]

Kinda interesting sale this week:

For $1:
Flotilla
Atom Zombie Smasher (+ OST)
Air Forte (+OST)

For minimum:
Thirty Flights of Loving (+ OST)

Flotilla doesn't look particularly interesting and Air Forte reminds me of the educational games I played in elementary school. Atom Zombie Smasher isn't bad, but it's been given out a few different times in other bundles so I imagine many buyers already have it. Thirty Flights of Loving is a kind of platforming point-and-click that can be completed in 10 or so minutes. Everyone I know that's played it has recommended it (supposedly the Steam version comes with a copy of the first game).

[JSoup]

And now they are stopping the weekly sales for a bit. Didn't think this would last.

[kupomogli]

With all the recent gaming news being bad news, there's thankfully some good news. The Humble Weekly Sale is back and this time with Alan Wake and Alan Wake American Nightmare. This time there doesn't seem to be any sort of pay the average, so spending $1 will get you both games and a lot of extra content. If they add some additional content, just pay the extra to get that too.

[Cornelius]

this is one I got in on. heard a lot about Alan Wake being good, don't have a 360, cheap as all get out. can't go wrong!

[YoshiM]

Ack! I got Alan Wake American Nightmare off of a Steam sale and I already have Alan Wake on Xbox. However, I don't have the DLC and the extras look very tempting.

Dammit...I'm buying.

[JSoup]

Hmm. I saw a stream of Alan Wake when it was new. Can't go wrong for $1.

[kupomogli]

After the crappy Double Fine bundle we almost immediately get a new bundle.

Humble Bundle 8 includes Hotline Miami if you pay atleast the average. That's all you need to know. If you own Hotline Miami already, this bundle also includes Awesomenauts, Little Inferno, Capsized, Thomas Was Alone, Dear Esther, and also if you pay the average, Proteus.

[kupomogli]

A lot of Tell Tale games on the new Humble Weekly Sale. The Walking Dead is Steam only, but everything else is Steam and DRM free. Right now it's $3.71 if you want to get The Walking Dead $1 for everything else. I paid $3.71.

Now this is a deal I can't miss out on. I already own Wallace & Gromit, Sam & Max (all three series) and Back to the Future on GOG, so I'm not too bothered about those games. The thing which caught my attention however was the Hector games which I have been meaning to buy for quite some time... and now I finally can play them.

[JSoup]

I already have the Walking Dead episodes on PSN, and Poker Night on Steam, but the others I've been interested in trying for a while. So, $1 for all that, another good week.

[Zthun]

Walking Dead is 24.99 in the steam store, so if you don't already have it, this is a great bundle for the $4 needed.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I already own everything in that bundle on Steam except Wallace & Gromit (which I own at Telltale's store.)

Should I feel bad for paying $1 to get the key only? I dunno.

Edit: Wait a sec, the page says that you get two soundtracks. For what games?

[JSoup]

Edit: Wait a sec, the page says that you get two soundtracks. For what games?

You should be getting the OST for all of them. Despite what this and other bundles say, I've been getting OSTs for just about every game in every bundle they've put out.

[Zthun]

You only get the soundtracks for Hector and Puzzle Agent.

That's what the humble bundle is for after all. Placing games that sold well and are no longer really getting anymore money so for the user to pay what they would like to pay.

And yeah. Only two soundtracks on this bundle. I just checked the link.

[JSoup]

This weeks is kinda weak and only one of the games activates on Steam:

For $1+:
Anomaly Warzone Earth
Anomaly Warzone Earth: Mobile Campaign
Sleepwalker's Journey
Funky Smugglers

For minimum:
Anomaly Korea
Anomaly 2 Model for 3D printing (this isn't a game, it's a blueprint file for a 3D printer)

That model blueprint is admittedly neat, but tower defense games aren't just my thing.

[JSoup]

So, this weeks sale is pretty good.

For $1+:
Rochard (with all DLC, OST and an art book)

Rochard seems like a generic entry in its genera, but it's actually really damn cleaver and a lot of fun. I highly recommend it, especially for a buck.

[JSoup]

Another weak week for the weekly sales.

For $1+:
Shank (with OST)
Shank 2 (with OST)
Eats

You could do worse for a buck, but none of those games are really stellar.

[Zthun]

I loved the shank games, but it's the soundtracks that make this bundle worth it.

[JSoup]

Interesting sale this week.

For $1+:
Toki Tori
EDGE
2 10% off coupons for Toki Tori 2

For average:
RUSH
1 more 10% off coupon for Toki Tori
Bonus content for Toki Tori (listed is a concept art book and a signed digital poster)

[cholkavich]

Steam is having some really good sales right now. Theres a huge sonic pack for 29.99

[Jorpho]

Not sure which one you're referring to. Perhaps you mean http://www.amazon.com/Sega-Sonic-Action-Pack-Download/dp/B00AG21KGU/ , or http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/ca/en/pc/games/action/sonic-ultimate-pack/ [slightly cheaper RIGHT NOW with the 20% off code]? Because while those get you Steam keys, it's not technically Steam.

Anyway, we have another thread (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?149494-Any-and-all-Steam-Deals!) for non-Humble stuff.

[cholkavich]

this one http://store.steampowered.com/sub/26498/

[JSoup]

Really nice bundle this week:

For $1:
The Geneforge Saga
Avadon: The Black Fortress
The First Avernum + Blades of Avernum (these are download only, no Steam or Desutra codes)
Avernum: The Great Trials Trilogy
Game art and Hits books for all games in the bundle

For minimum:
Avernum: Escape from the Pit
Nethergate: Resurrection

[kupomogli]

Skipped this on GOG at 75% off. Buying now that it's much cheaper.

[JSoup]

This one is less interesting for me, but a good deal if you like decent music:

For $1 (all OSTs & albums)
Indie Game: The Movie Soundtrack
Sword & Sworcery LP
The Ballad of the Space Babies
Now, More Than Ever
Takes Time
Takes Time: Instrumentals & Demos
The Scythian Steppes: Seven #Sworcery Songs Localized for Japan
A Thousand Songs
Children of the Clone
Corporeal - Music from Soundshapes
Morning Noon Night
FREE-P

For minimum:
Sword & Sworcery EP
Indie Game: The Movie

[JSoup]

Not an amazing offering this week, but still pretty good.

For $1+:
Kudos 2
Gratuitous Tank Battles
Gratuitous Space Battles

For minimum:
Democracy 2

[BHvrd]

Thanks for the update.

[JSoup]

Don't know anything about this weeks games.

For $1+:
King's Bounty: The Legend
King's Bounty: Armored Princess
Men of War
Men of War: Red Tide

For minimum:
King's Bounty: Crossworlds
Men of War: Assault Squad

[kupomogli]

Watched Youtube videos and the games don't look bad, so in for $1 atleast. Not so much interested in paying the average for the Men of War game as I don't like that theme and King's Bounty Crossworlds is a stand alone expansion for the previous game according to Metacritic. Hopefully there's a lot of cheap people that drive the average down. If it gets below $2.50 I'll match it then.

[Kitsune Sniper]

This is their worst Weekly Sale to date.

All of those games have been featured in an insane amount of bundles already.

Have they? I don't recall seeing them before today. Then again, I only do Humble Bundles. Never touch all the various other copycat bundles out there.

These have been in several Groupees and Indie Gala bundles as well as several other smaller bundle sales. These are generic bundle fodder.

[JSoup]

Pretty meh this week:

For $1+:
Uplink + OST & Source code
Darwinia + OST & Source Code
Multiwinia + OST & Source Code
Defcon + OST & Source Code
Voxel Tech Demo
City Generator Tech Demo

For $19.99+:
Prison Architect - Early Access

[Kitsune Sniper]

It's not "meh". Darwinia and Multiwinia are awesome, as is Uplink (though it's plagued with horrible UI choices that they haven't fixed in years). Defcon is... I never got the hang of it.

It's meh when you consider that these games have been in several humble bundles. But, yes, I agree, they are fairly fun games.

[JSoup]

Not bad this week:

For $1+:
Botanicula + OST
McPixel + OST
Thomas Was Alone + OST
The Showdown Effect + OST (Steam Only)

For minimum:
Amnesia: The Dark Decent + OST

Was waiting for Botanicula to go on sale. I didn't get it in the first bundle it was in because that particular bundle didn't come off as good of a deal.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Too bad it's got... Pewdiepie...

AVOID THIS BUNDLE LIKE THE PLAGUE.

You see all those games? You'd think, well, that's a nice deal right? Well, it's not. A large chunk of those games have an insane amount of downloadable content. Crusader Kings II alone has $40 worth. Magicka has several expansions, too. I thought the EA Humble Bundle was bad because it included games that had loads of DLC (Battlefield 3 and Sims 3) but this is an outright blatant cash-in excuse to get people to buy DLC by the bucketload.

The basic $1+ part, however, is a pretty good deal. Most of those games have no DLC and the one that does gives you the complete version anyway.

I did mentally note that Magicka didn't come with all the various DLC packs, which is a bummer as those are what really make the game fun.

[JSoup]

Hmm.

For $1+:

AI War: Fleet Command + All DLC and OSTs (there is more than one OST for this game)
A Valley Without Wind + OST
A Valley Without Wind 2 + OST
Tidalis + OST

For minimum:

Shattered Haven + OST
Skyward Collapse + Nihon no Mura DLC and OST

[Jorpho]

Any opinions on any of these..?

[JSoup]

One is an RTS game and is, therefore, automatically horrible.
Two more are strange platformers that looks alright.
The last one is a block matching puzzle game that is automatically horrible for crime of not being Tetris Attack.
The other two cost more an a buck, so who cares about them, right?

Edit: I'm being facetious, btw. I'm sure all these games are great.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Humble no longer sells bonus games depending on the average bundle purchase. They've been setting a minimum price now, and that really, really bothers me.

[JSoup]

I don't see a problem with it, really. The average has always been between $4 and $6, with $5 being the normal price. Jumping the gun straight to $5 seems like cutting out the middle man.

[kupomogli]

Humble Bundle 9

Trine 2 The Complete Story. Played it on PS3, bored after the first stage. Pretty, but boring as hell.
Mark of the Ninja
Eets Munchies Beta
Brutal Legend

Pay the average for

Fez
Faster than Light

No interest in any of the games in the first half of the bundle, but I've heard great things about Fez and Faster than Light so I paid the minimum.

[JSoup]

I never sat down with my PSN+ copy of Trine 2, mostly because it looked like a pain to play. This version apparently comes with both DLC packs or something. I saw Mark of the Ninja in action on a Backloggery stream, didn't look like something I'd enjoy. Already have two copies of Brutal Legend (PS3 and Steam), FTL is meh and Fez is boring.

[kupomogli]

I only wasted $3.60 then so not much of a loss. Rarely does a new Humble Bundle come out so I'm never really paying out much.

Hopefully the games that are added to the average next week are good.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Knowing our luck, it'll be Trine, Shank, Shank 2, the original Eets, and the rest of Frozenbyte's games.

I bought this, despite my dislike of Phil Fish (and me saying that I would never buy his game, in this same forum, months ago) and I did activate Fez on my Steam account. He only got like 72 cents out of my payment so I don't feel too bad for him. The other people who made the game, though...

[Tupin]

So, how are Fez and Brutal Legend "indie" games, again? Does "indie" just mean "made by a creator with an ego massive enough to have its own orbit" now?

[Jorpho]

How I hate it when I've already bought all the games in a bundle. Of course, they were all bought on sale, and I guess it's nice to support the devs, but nonetheless, I hate it when that happens.

I think the original Eets was one of the first games I bought on Steam – and never got around to playing, of course. :roll:

[kupomogli]

So, how are Fez and Brutal Legend "indie" games, again? Does "indie" just mean "made by a creator with an ego massive enough to have its own orbit" now?

I don't like the term indie since it doesn't mean anything the way they're using it. Any developer that funds their own games is independent. Since the developers who work for them are a part of them, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, EA, etc, are "indie" developers.

Thatgamecompany is considered indie, yet they received money from Sony to develop games and Sony has published games for them, games like Shank and Shank 2 were funded and published by EA, among others.

It doesn't mean anything the way it's being used but it's constantly being thrown around, so I've given up and just started calling them indie developers also. Which the way people look at them are developers that aren't big names that have that have multi billion dollar companies behind them.

The other thing is how indie games are praised simply for being indie games, and many indie games in my opinion are merely okay. There hasn't been an indie game that I've played that has interested me as much as most larger budget titles. Indie games were overrated when Microsoft was pulling exclusivity for them, Sony's doing the same and it doesn't make them less overrated.

I really want to complain about Sony because it really makes me want to facepalm because Sony always acts like this about everything they start promoting. Regardless if they're the first ones to the party or not, it's like they drop everything else and promote what we don't give a shit about. Right now it's indie this, indie that, here's an indie there's an indie, everywhere there's a fucking indie. They did it with Vita when the system just came out and they forced touch controls on us on literally every single game even if it was something that could do without touch controls, or if there were perfectly good standard controls they could have used as alternate controls. Last but not least, they did it with the Move when it was first introduced, going out of the way to develop and try to shove shit like Wonderbook down everyones throats when clearly we didn't give a damn. It'd be nice if sometimes Sony would get a fucking clue.

This is the reason the Vita is failing. They had someone talking to third party developers to get games for Vita and asked the fanbase what we wanted. Instead of listening to what the fans wanted to see, hey, here's yet another fucking indie game we didn't ask for to be ported from the PS3 to Vita. No retail games to put on shelves and get some more sales. To show developers the system is actually selling so they'll be more inclined to not release just ports all day every day on it. Now they have this third party development and localization team. A company within Sony. What's the first two games they're developing to put on the Vita? Borderlands 2 and Epic Mickey 2. Two games no one gives two shits about because if we did, we'd play them on the PS3 or 360. Once again ignoring the very loud fanbase who constantly request games like Final Fantasy Type 0, the Tales games, and many other Japanese games that Americans would actually like yet haven't been localized over here. It's like they completely ignore what their fans ask them for. It took Nintendo quite awhile, but even they listened to their fans with Xenoblade atleast, and guess what. The game sold well so Nintendo is developing X for the Wii U. There's a reason shit doesn't sell well when you bring your fans something we don't even fucking ask for.

Okay. Rant over. Went from indies over to how Sony is being fucking stupid, because right now all they're thinking of is indie bullshit.

*edit*

No offense to indie devs, because while your games are decent. They're decent. That's it. They don't offer the value most full retail games do when it comes to gameplay. Some games do or look like they do. Most don't. As interested as I was in Retro City Rampage for example, I finally started to play it a while ago and the game is incredibly boring. The guy put a lot of work into it sure, but the only thing I really liked about the game was the Bit.Trip mini game in the arcade. The missions were poorly done, you could see where the dialogue tried to be funny by making references that most of us would notice, but the dialogue just sucked and was yet another mark against the game, and killing pedestrians and cops became immediately boring. It's like the dev tried too hard to introduce NES style graphics and 80s references that he forgot to add a good game.

[JSoup]

Hmm.

For $1+:
Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter
Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter
Shadow Warrior Classic Redux
Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition

For minimum:

Hard Reset Extended Edition + OST
System Shock 2 + OST

Nice, but I think I'll sit this one out.

[kupomogli]

Me too. Paid a dollar for most of the Serious Sam games, I think I got the Duke Nukem game for free on GOG, and really don't care about any of the others.

[Jorpho]

I own Duke Nukem on GOG as well, but this is the "Megaton Edition". And Shadow Warrior's worth tacking onto the backlog as well.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Humble 9 just added:

Bastion
Limbo
A Virus Named Tom
MOTHERCLUCKING Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken!

Rocketbirds is a short but fun action platformer shootem up. It was released on PSN a few years back and it's pretty goddamn awesome.

[Jorpho]

Rarr. Bought that one too quite some time ago. I don't have A Virus Named Tom, and haven't heard of it before either.

[Daltone]

Hmm.

For $1+:

For minimum:

Hard Reset Extended Edition + OST
System Shock 2 + OST

Nice, but I think I'll sit this one out.

I've fancied Shadow Warrior for a while, and Hard Reset and Serious Sam are a nice bonus. More tempted by this than the main bundle.

These are hardcore space sim / management games. They have a very tough learning curve but are amongst the best ones in the genre.

So, single player EVE Online.
Ok, I'm on board.
