I'll call a spade a spade when necessary, but I find it very difficult to say anything bad about this. Complaining about not giving enough Steam keys is a moot point. The last Origin bundle had insane value.

PC release date was six weeks later. Also quite a few had already abandoned old gen by this point.

Anyway, here's some actually interesting non-PC news: More Sega 3D Classics for the 3DS! http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1029022

Oh, thanks, I thought it was at the same time.

We still don't have a decent Xbox (I want to call it 1, but now it's confusing so I'll say the Xbox the First) emulator, so it's not as if emulation being available within a few years is a guarantee.

PS3 Cell architecture was notoriously difficult to develop for, so I can only imagine it would be incredibly hard to emulate as well. To my knowledge PS3 and 360 emulators are currently only able to run small downloadable titles, and not even well at that. It will be a while before the bulk of each console's retail library actually runs decently.

So it will probably quite a wait before a decent PS4 emulator can actually run most games well. Even considering the PS4 uses a more familiar architecture that should be easier to emulate (remember, Xbox the First had x86 architecture as well), it will still take some time to get working right for a decent amount of the library. There is also the factor that you need a PC several times more powerful than whatever console you are trying to emulate (from what I've read, the rule of thumb is 40 times more powerful).

Oh man, that's too bad, I haven't noticed because most of my consoles haven't died on me, and the ones that did I got a replacement. I guess I know nothing about the emu scene.


Also, I'm actually pretty excited about this Origin bundle, just F5ing to watch the avg come down!

Worth the asking price for DA:O on its own really, their last great game before becoming console-centric. It's rather crazy just how low the prices have gone on PC for quality stuff like Origins and Witcher 2, we're talking pocket change for hours of great content. Years after most people will have played it, granted, but still.

DA:O might be great but it'd be weird buying just the regular version at this point.

Ubisoft needs to do a uPlay bundle

As for this Origin bundle I already own pretty much all of these except PvZ which I own on PS4 and rarely play.

I like how I have a Bejeweled 3 from the On The House promo that works on a mac, but the new bundle Bejeweled 3 "only works on windows".

Wonder if the BTA will slide below $4. Solid bundle but certainly not as awe inspiring as the first one. But with the "give it all to charity" gimmick we'll probably see some big donors push the average up at some point.

Edit: For some reason Dragon Age Origin is showing up as an Origin title when I inputted a Steam Key. So its a Steam Key.

Well, $5 for Mass Effect 2 (Steam), Dead Space 2 (Steam) and C&C Generals/PvZ Warfare (Orgins) ain't so bad.
Will be nice for a of replay Mass Effect 2 down the line, since I have all the DLCs on Origin. :)

Don't see that happening, it rarely happens with any HB bundle (weekly excluding), and this is a good one, so definitely not.

Well, I remembered that there was supposed to be a new Humble Bundle today so I went to check.

Origin: stopping people from buying games since 2011.

Garden Warfare for under $5 and some other stuff I own or have a passing interest? Sure I'll bite. I know EA are doing this again to boost Origin's install base but fair play for not taking any money.

Dropping price though is more about the tier balance than overall quality. It seems like we'll see a lot of $1 purchases that may not jump to the BTA, which is why it continues to drift down. I'm sure it will bottom out at some point, but I could see it continuing to drop until some big donor drops a bunch of money on it "for charity." I agree that it seems unlikely it will make it all the way down to $4 though.
