The Indie Bundle Mega Thread

The only game in that bundle that I don't own already (on or off Steam) is Hard Reset. At least this way I get it for half the standard price, so I'm gonna download the demo and give it a try.

 

First bonus game is Fortix, second is Star Wolves 3: Civil War

 

Wait, the weekly humble has a fixed price instead of BTA?

 

For the weekly deals, yes.

Allow me to pre-beg the Duke/Shadow Warrior key from you~

 

First I wondered how Brütal Legend can be indie, but then I remembered that Double Fine is owned by the Schafmeister. So I guess they count as indie.

But then I found this picture, and I have to wonder why Belgian Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo is photobombing these guys:

Yes I know it's Will Wright, but the resemblance is uncanny.

 

BROS TOTALL Y NTO THE HUMBLE WEEKLY AND REGULAR HUMBLE BUNDLE

 

It's a pretty awesome crossover of bundles right now.

Humble > all other bundle sellers

 

I'm pretty happy with most of my Groupees purchases, too. They also add new keys to old games all the time. I just picked up three more Steam keys from bundles I bought in May and July (including Zafehouse Diaries).

Of course, you won't find AAA publishers there.

 

I bought for Duke/Shadow Warrior. I already own Hard Reset and SS2 so didn't bother with average.

If anyone wants keys for Serious Sam HD 1 and 2 then contact me.

 

So, "Indie RPG Bundle-in-a-Box": http://bundle-in-a-box.com/

Most games seem to be crap, but you can get Frayed Knights by paying-what-you-want - a good deal since the game is pretty solid, lame humor notwithstanding.

I'm also curious about Hack, Slash, Loot and Inaria. Anybody played those?

Beating the average (currently at $4.70) gets you Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land and Telepath RPG: Servants of God and some other games I haven't heard of. Probably not worth it anyway.

 

Hack Slash Loot is terrible. Worse than most iPhone games. Very basic. There are 'classes' with one or two distinct abilities and you just shuffle along in generic dungeons against generic enemies. Better off with a free ascii roguelike.

 

This was the first case of a game where I looked whether there's a "delete from library" function on Steam.

 

Pay what you want as long as what you want is $2 or more. OUTRAGE

 

Only it's not pay what you want at all. Typical kodex staff reading comprehension at its finest.

 

HIB bonuses are Rocketbirds, A Virus Named Tom, Bastion, and Limbo.

 

Tomorrow's Humble Weekly could possibly be Focus Home Interactive with Divinity 2, Game of Thrones, RAW (popamole diablo clone), Blood Bowl, and Confrontation for $1. BTA stuff is Testament of Sherlock Holmes and Wargame Escalation or w/e it's called.

 

It isn't Elio without the bowtie.

Wait a minute, I paid for the bundle without beating the average and I didn't get the bonus? What the hell?

 

This is too good to be true, I don't think is possible.

 

HIB changed their policy for this bundle - to get the second week bonus games you have to beat the average regardless of when you bought. Early buyers under the average no longer get the bonuses, but you can increase your order amount in your downloads page to beat the average (at the time you bought the bundle) to get the bonus games.

 

Yep, they need to grub more money. That said, if you put the $1 in early you might have locked in a $3ish BTA.

 

Greedy bastards. The HIB people, not Gragt.

 

Rocketbirds is pretty mediocre. Fairly generic platform shooter with hipster music and it only lasts about two hours. Not worth beating the average.

 

I always go another twenty cents on top just to be safe. Netted me Bastion, wheee!

 

It's shit.

 

Nah I enjoyed it before deleting the pirated copy. Hadn't even heard of the others but I'll give Rocketbirds a try.
