Yeah the combat feels great in it, I still need to get around to finishing it when Xen drops.

I thought of buying a bunch of shit, but I think I'm just gonna finish that Microsoft RTS bundle and buy some Rocksmith DLC since I bought some strings finally.

GE is anime while MH is not. MH seem anime due to the exaggerated armor, but that's more in-line with McFarlane than anything.
One thing that separates the two ia that MH has no weird super power bullshit, weird physics aside. Your characer doean't go super hunter pheromones catgirl mode. The brutish, clunky look and movement of the hunter makes them relatively more grounded. GE characters meanwhile wouldn't be out of place in Tales.

Is Necropolis: Brutal Edition worth it for (most likely) single player? It's been on my wishlist forever due to it's Dark Souls-like combat. I picked it up, but I've heard tell that after about 3 hours you've seen everything the game has to offer. Most of these comments though are about the shipping edition, is the Brutal Edition much better? $16 CAD is a bit steep for a couple of hours of play, especially if it is only enjoyable in co-op.. so I want to keep it under the 2 hr refund time while I mull it over. All the Let's Play style videos I've found are co-op, which looks great, but I won't be able to do that (unless it supports group finder style with 3 randos).
You spoony bard!

Pony Island has yet to be in a bundle, and it's proving popular enough that I wouldn't bet on it showing up in one.
EDIT: Wow, that was a late reply. I aught to hit the refresh button before replying to things.

Oh what?! :-(
Oh shit, I'm so hyper since I don't have a console to play that game on. It's gonna be so gud! 😁

How long is a playthrough of Life Is Strange? Thinking about picking it up since the whole first season is only five bucks.

lol looks like modbot has been choking on almostheathen's mega giveaway continuously for 2 weeks; it keeps trying to edit the giveaway and failing because the character limit has been hit. It's no problem, but that's a lot of unnecessary edit attempts.
12-15 hrs. Each episode is 2-3 hours

So... I may have gotten sucked into Glittermitten Grove to the point where I didn't even notice any portal to any other game when it appeared. And then when I did, I might have still kept playing GG for a bit before deciding to check out the FF.

Poor modbot. Working all those unpaid extra hours.

Yo satellite reign and shovel knight good?
Everything gets bundled eventually, and it looks like the type that would get bundled regularly once it does. It's also been out for a year now and is 67% off (and already fairly cheap). All of which screams bundle fodder. But I'm considering it, I do enjoy bizarre experiences and I'd like to play it before I get spoiled.
Shovel knight is godly

So far my haul is Soma, Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition (gift to me), Shovel Knight, The Talos Principle, and Dishonored. Excited to play each of these games.
You're in for some amazing times!

the cool thing about ff4 is that it has neat tricks up its sleeve like that
the uncool thing about ff4 is that it uses those tricks repeatedly, again and again, for the entire game and it gets kinda old by the end
Love hearing your first-time reaction to the game. It's the game that started me down the RPG path.
I'm not so sure about Pony Island being bundle fodder. I've played it, and despite the appearance of cheap indie bundle fodder around it it, it's really not - it's tight, it's ridiculously well produced & plays really well. I think they've managed the price well.
Saying that, I don't doubt it might end up in a Humble Bundle Monthly, but it's unlikely to end up on indie gala, if that makes sense. It's well worth its current price in the steam sale.
This is me with Invisible Inc.

Am I missing something with the scythe in God Eater Resurrection? Seems like Y is a long range attack and as you get closer to the enemy the damage goes to nil but the range itself isn't long enough to ever be useful and it's slow so it's better to just mash x?

Geez, if you undercut the market by a penny your cards just flyyy into people's hands.
It's glorious.
Option A) Buy every Humble Monthly forever in the vague hope that you'll get the game you want toplay buy now at some point in the future instead.
Option B) Get a job at Humble so you know what's coming and can then have your cake and eat it, too.
Option C) Buy and complete Subnautica before the next Humble Monthly, feel a slight tinge of regret if it ever shows up there, and then buy that Humble Monthly anyways because it has something else that's of interest.
All roads lead to Humble.

Yup, exactly. Humble Monthly has taught me to never buy any mid tier indie game again. That and the fact that I'm terrible about actually playing them. But now I've got Steam credit from Christmas presents burning a hole in my pocket and I'm tempted to spend.
They're flying anyway. You're just bringing the price down and losing a penny, bub.
