Pretty sweet bundle, I needed SS1 (missed the sale the other weekend).
Edit. Oh, Circuit Breakers isn't the Micro Machines-like game

There are only five reviews and none in English (Steam won't even show them to me). I think it's too early to tell.

Never trust early Steam reviews.
I've been noticing a trend of some of the same people hopping on early Steam releases to try and give it negative reviews early so it might turn people away. I am a horror ethusiast, so I've noticed it a lot in horror games that end up with positive reception but on release have mixed or negative reception. But there must be some group or something since I've seen this a number of times where a game will just come out, and then negative reviews will be posted, and for the first day or two, they'll thumbs be some pretty even margin of thumbs up on negative reviews, thumbs down on positive reviews.
I've observed this so many times, I think it has to be some Steam group or something that just arrange this or something.

probably a case of "upgrade should have been free" like Darksiders 2

What's with the mixed reviews on Ori DE? I know it's only seven reviews but... what's up?
edit: nvm discussed above.

Hmm...Now I'm curious about something.
Can a review that's set to private still affect the user-review rating?
EDIT: I'm guessing so, because the community hub shows two reviews for Ori DE, even though the store-page has 11+

Not much of a discount, but I'll take what I can get!
Any gems in here besides Bound for Flame?
I don't think there's actual private reviews anymore, just public & friends only.
You can use Canada VPN for another extra discount $4.2-ish with coupon. (depends on banks rates tho)
The DE sub includes the original version of the game. It's not saying that you already own the DE.

Eh...same difference. Friends-only reviews aren't posted in the community hub.

Instead of spending a lot on a 980ti build, I'm considering going with this and upgrading the GPU when pascal comes out, as well as the CPU at a later date.
Decent future proof build that can play new games on 40fps + 1080p on high at least

I don't think you can make a private review, but a lot of that is foreign reviews. To see foreign reviews, go to the reviews tab on the community hub and press through the different languages.
The fact Steam doesn't have a "View All" option yet, I don't know.

It's been on my Next On Deck Steam category for a long time... still haven't played it, haha.
Glad to know it's good. I loved Gunpoint, and this gave me a similar vibe at first glance.
I'd switch out the 6600K for the 6700K (the extra four cores, despite being logical rather than physical, do make a difference in heavily multi-threaded games) and bump up the RAM to 16GB.
Edit: There's no need to worry about upgradability. Intel changes sockets regularly, so when your 6700K does become a bit long in the tooth, you'd be looking at a new motherboard in addition to the CPU, anyway.
CDN$5.59 - 5% with gimme5 = $4.2
Ah, There's "All Languages". But it seems like doesn't actually work. That explains low amount of reviews shown then.
I have CDN$5.31 with gimme5

Old but should be unused if HB didn't mess up.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Will do! Thanks, Jase.
Am I right in thinking I'd be able to reuse the other components with a new motherboard?
CPU: Nope
CPU Cooler: Nope
Memory: Yes
Storage: Yes
Video Card: Yes
Case: Most likely
Power Supply: Yes
Seems like a good bundle, but I'm only interested in SS1 and maybe Bound by Flame. Though I think it's probably a better idea to wait for the SS1 remake, no?
Yeah. You may need to contact to Corsair and request a Whatever-Intel's-current-socket-is-when-you-upgrade mounting kit, but everything else would carry over just fine as-is.

Well ignoring the fact it's called the Killer 7 Bundle...
...It just has a lot of games that interest me personally I didn't own and have never been bundled before, and was planning to pick up down the line anyways. Only owned two of the games.
fault milestone one is a visual novel I have heard very good things about and wanted to pick up (and its sequel).
Pneuma: Breath of Life is right up my alley as a pretty puzzle-exploration game.
Knee Deep I was so close to buying on release but was low on funds at the time for an episodic buoy swamp mystery setting with a nice style in my opinion.
200% Mixed Juice! I have wanted to get to play with friends, as I enjoyed 100% Orange Juice a lot with them.
I can vouch that Dungeon Nightmares 2 is a fairly good, decently scary horror game.
And the rest are pretty solid, too.

All the while I'm listening to Baby Metal, ha. What are the odds.
Word of warning - it supposedly ends on a terrible cliffhanger.
Which is resolved in the sequel. Which also ends on a terrible cliffhanger.
No news yet when the third part will release...
rito already talked about this a couple months ago
they were like "we don't feel like being in a race anymore" so they don't talk numbers. makes sense cos at one point you're asking your game to be played by more and more people every year and that's kind of unreasonable cos there's only so many weirdos willing to improve their lives playing mobas. it's also something that league players don't care about, i already know the game is huge, all my friends are freaking playing it lol. the people that care about league's numbers are their competitors and gross people that are just rubbing their hands hoping for league to crash for some weird sad reason i'll never understand
and guess what, rito (which means league) made like 1.6 billion usd last year and that they're buying other studios and hosting league tournaments in like madison square garden and like soccer world cup stadiums, so if you think the game's doing bad you're out of your mind

the $5 Ori Deluxe thing lasts for a month so I'll pick it up before it expires...really liked the original version (even with a bug that made me have to start over from scratch)
