[Megathread] Humble Bundle & Other Digital Sales

[Pendulous]

A new "Misleading Title Bundle" bundle on Bundlestars, since I've never heard of any of these https://www.bundlestars.com/en/bundl...eid=4f7d3dc646

That said, Never Alone looks pretty.

I wish you could kill all your "friends" in Far Cry 3, they're all awful human beings that didn't deserve to be saved.

Eh, they're not THAT awful, and imo FC3 had much better endings than FC4, unless the whole point of the latter's endings are that the country's fucked no matter which of the endings you choose.

[Edge-]

It was a fun game, but I'd completely disagree that it was better than FC3. It was campy, entertaining, and had lazer-a-chargin', but FC3 had much better story, length, and overall gameplay imo.

It was longer, but it was also more expensive ($60 vs. $15). In terms of gameplay, it's largely identical between the two, they didn't make any drastic changes to the core gameplay and systems as far as I remember. Tweaks and alterations to fit the new setting, sure, but it was still largely just more Far Cry 3...just with neon lights everywhere and dragons.

As for story...well, subjective tastes and all that. I actively hated every one of the main characters friends and the main character as well, all were thoroughly reprehensible human beings and I wish I could have just killed them all. Seriously, the embodied young, rich, hipster douchebags and I would have much rather the game been about you coming to the realization of how awful your friends are and either leaving them to die or hunting them down yourself. Beyond that there are the usual Ubisoft tropes (both through gameplay/design and writing) that at this point are beaten beyond undeath, the "white savior" problems that the game got criticized for and a supporting cast that I can't remember outside of the cool old guy who lived on that one house at the top of the hill and the lady you get your freak on with.

Haven't played FC4 so can't comment on that games story/ending, though the two endings to 3 left me pretty underwhelmed : /

It was an alright game and the moment to moment gameplay and some of the set pieces were pretty fun, but I think it's vastly overrated, especially compared to games like Blood Dragon that ooze more character and personality in a single scene than something like FC3 managed to pull off during the entirety of the game.

Never Alone was cute in concept, but annoying in practice (gameplay). I wouldn't recommend it, but I do feel like I got $3.49 of entertainment out of it. In addition, I've heard good things about Grey Goo and Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball from Total Biscuit... So, it sounds like it's a good bundle to me.

I dislike blood dragon, but I understand why its liked, just wasnt for me at all.

Someone posted this on steam, may be even cheaper.

So if you want Day of the Tentacle etc from the day of the devs bundle, but dont have any / many of the games... buy the $1 tier on humble, redeem the keys, then go here and get the 93% discount applied to the games you DONT own.

WAY BARGAINOUS!

In my case it would be £2.58 for day of the tentacle and oxenfree (well, and the others from the BTA, but i already own them elsewhere) as opposed to the $9 (which is near enough £9 these days) for the full bundle on humble.
Happy bargaining!

I happened to already have some games so it was £3.92 for the remaining 4.

Lucky git ;p

I had none of them, so had bought full thing on Humble & got screwed over with the crappy $-£ rates.
Damn you brexit...

Thats brilliant
Better deal than im getting form HB right now for it,.. the only disadvantage is that you have to use all keys yourself,. you cant gift any parts i think?

Thanks for the tip! €2,45 sure is better than $9.

Here's the usual Steam Sale Megathread (this time further added for other sites). If anyone knows if the other sites are having sales during a certain period let me know and I'll update it. I just haven't kept up much with it lately.

[bbr]

Stardew Valley sounds like a game I would love, but for some reasons its pixilated art is keeping me away for now >.<

thats the whole charm of it really.
well worth the coin

No real desire to sign up with another site I'll never visit again; but while they offer purchase without signup, it doesn't actually *work*.

I didn't try as there was nothing of interest, shame the no sign up thing doesn't work though.

[FlawlessSoul]

I was hoping to get Normality and Hostile Waters (turns out I've already got Hostile Waters on Steam anyway).
