[Megathread] Humble Bundle & Other Digital Sales

[Rixis]

The reviews for that portrait pack are weird. Negative comments but thumbs up. At least some of them say that whilst they don't care for the portraits, they bought them to support the game/developer, but one says:

bought the portrait pack just to give it a negative review

Whilst it has a thumbs up and recommended.

Perhaps the thumbs up, was because of how much cheaper it is on steam compared to gog hehe.

First review on gog shows how bizarre of a DLC it is.

Yeah,. if it's just images,. i don't feel it should qualify as a DLC,.
After all, images are easily shared ^^

The only price difference I see is that Tyranny is currently on sale on Steam. Do you see different prices?

The Dead Effect games are kinda neat. Nothing mind blowing, but they're pretty interesting as mobile games ported to PC. Definitely well above the quality of most other efforts I've seen on that front, and the sequel even includes a whole gearing/ability/leveling system and shit. And multiple game modes.

I remember playing the first one on my phone (at that point a HTC One X) and realizing trying to play an FPS on a phone is near impossible. My thumbs blocked 2/3 of the screen and the controls are horrible

Price of the "DLC" not the game.

Especially as that's included in the game hehe.

Weird, €3,99 on both sites for me.

[Pendulous]

All Paradox games are on a huge sale on Steam.

Must....resist....buying....all...EUIV....DLC.....

Meanwhile, Bethesda sale on Bundlestars https://www.bundlestars.com/en/colle...ethesda?page=1

That's what happens when you let people who haven't bought the thing review it.

Can't do that any more can you? Thought you had to have bought something before you could review things nowadays.

Probably something to do with shitty £ rates. That or, as someone said on the site, gogtax

[Deleted]

Not on Gog. Anyone can review anything, which makes their reviews mostly useless IMO, a very niche game could get destroyed by people who never even played it, while being very enjoyable by people really interested in it.

Aah, I thought you meant steam. My bad.

Yeah, true.
But then some could get it for free on steam & still hate on it for slightest of reasons. & state as much on either site, so guess it's not a perfect system either way.

A guildie from my warcrafting days did a review on steam of Elite Dangerous which another guildie pointed out to me. It said that he hated the game & that it was a bugfest (to paraphrase). Had a total of 1.5 hours play in it hehe.

Would be handy if gog did similar, but don't see it happening seeing as they can barely handle their own forums/site some days

DOOM (2016) is a whopping £7.99.

Apart from a bit of back tracking, this game is bloody (hehe) good stuff!

Survival week up on the humblebumble store, up to 80% off games.

[Xargoth6634]

completely forgot to cancel my monthly subscription. I just wanted Total War Warhammer last month, haha. Anyways, here are my keys, I have zero interest in any of the games.

(Game keys)

Have fun!

I appreciate your generosity and you're free to give away games however you'd like, but in the future I'd recommend putting up giveaways on steamgifts or at least soliciting people contacting you for keys rather than tossing up keys that bots can grab and activate.

Why do I already own so many of those? =(

EDIT: How can Bethesda justify asking $35 for the base version of a 15 year old game? Even if it's remastered, that's absurd. And the "digital collector's edition" is $70? El oh fuckin' el.

[Deleted]

Astroneer is 10% off too.

That's one I've been keeping an eye on, looks quite funky.

The Long Dark is good, definitely worth it at this price.

Space Engineers seems tempting from what I've seen of clips from AkaMineB.

It does look pretty cool and I am not usually all that big of a fan of survival type games. That said, I hate the whole early access thing. I refuse to pay to beta test someone's game.

Edit: GMG has started it's Easter sale and there are some pretty solid deals: Green Man Gaming Easter Sale

Rocket League is $11.57, Just Cause 3 is $12.79, Resident Evil 7 is $36.99, Hitman (2016) Complete First Season is $25.57 (Tempted to get that one), Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition is $6.57 (really great game if anyone has not played it yet), and the Saint's Row Untimate Franchise Edition (includes SR2, SR 3rd, SR IV, and Gat outa Hell plus I think all of the DLC) is only $10.29. Plus a bunch of other stuff, but those were the ones that caught my eye.

[Xargoth6634]

What game? :O

Morrowwind, sorry. Should've specified!

[Skizzit]

Morrowwind, sorry. Should've specified!

Ahh, that's not a remastered version of Elder Scrolls III, it's the new expansion for Elder Scrolls Online. It is pretty dumb that they just called it "Morrowind" though. Should have named it "Return to Morrowind" or something. Then again, just naming the newest game in a series the base title seems to be all the rage these days with the likes of Tomb Raider and Hitman and such.

Ooooooh that all makes sense now. I was really confused there for a sec.

Wise move. There's every chance that devs can completely change the game to something no one likes & sod all anyone can do about it.
I guess only advantage is lower price in this state. That or wait until release & sales
