Kind of disappointing there is no new additions next week. Other than that the bundle is A+.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

So Savage Lands is basically The Aged Parchments: Cloudrim from the looks of the screenshots.

It's Ark mixed with Skyrim.

It's not bad.

When is the survival bubble gonna pop? Sick of them.

You know, nobody forces you to play those kind of games...


Good bundle, wanted to try space engineers...

I know that, I don't play them. Don't take it personally, was just wondering aloud.

If Dead Rising is coming in September, what game is coming in January ish?

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Oh wow a Humble Bundle, now there's a word I haven't heard in a long while

 

[GaussTek]

Mhmm, only interested in Shelter 2 from the bundle, dunno if I should BTA just for it :/

 

[SSPssp]

Great bundle, I didn't have any of the games! Don't know why theres so much negativity regarding this one.

 

[dimmer]

I was hoping for a better bundle. I am not interested in this new survival genre at all. Gone are the days when "Survival" was followed by "Horror"... ah well..
Is Kholat worth the time? It's only 1 euro after all.

Do so if you plan to do something with the keys.

Shelter 2 was slightly cheaper than the BTA a few days ago.

No Man's Sky will have lots of free updates but no paid DLC

i need no man's sky

are there really no women in the game

 

[The Dear Leader]

It's Ark mixed with Skyrim.

It's not bad.

I'm gonna try it out, it seems pretty cool.

EDIT: The Witcher 3 on max settings at 60fps about made me tear up. Looks sooooo good.

 

[TheLetdown]

I think most of the negativity is in the "survival" part of the survival bundle.

There are a decent number of people who feel like the term, more often than not, results in a concept that is over-sold and under-delivered relying on tedium as a mechanic. It's also very flavor-of-the-moment.

So, there's backlash. There's also the people for whom survival just ain't the games for them.

Space Engineers and Rust (!), holy smokes that's a mighty fine bundle! :O
Tharsis, Savage Lands and the rest also look interesting. This will be the first bundle in months I'm buying at BTA!

Based Humble.

I'm genuinely surprised Sony are letting them =/

 

[Grief.exe]

Sony is actually only involved with the marketing. Hello Games is self funded and they own the IP.

 

[Knurek]

Thank you Humble for putting the only two games I'm interested in in the $1 tier.

Required reading before trying Tharsis:

(Just don't read the epilogue)

 

[Nzyme32]

On Playstation it seems Sony are the publisher, but on PC it will be Hello Games. I doubt Sony would be able to prevent them doing free updates, but even with them saying that, I thoroughly expect some kind of microtransactions or something else to have another revenue stream in there eventually

That was a weird raffle. I entered for Rust but apparently the initial entries got dismissed so I entered for Savage and got that (thx). Then I wanted to send you a pm but the forum says you aren't registered. Could it be that ModBot and GAF get confused by the 'ā' in your name?

Just one of the many ways that PS4 is a beast.


Re: Humble... how do you all divide your money? Do you go with the default split? Do you take off the Humble Tip since they're a for-profit corporation and likely already getting some cut? Do you skimp some developers but not others? All charity?

The only habit I had was removing Child's Play if they were a charity. Penny Arcade's conduct gave me a distaste for their (the two guys) work so I moved my charity chunk to other organizations.

I usually leave it at the default split.
I'm fine with Humble being paid for running the site, I certainly want the devs to be paid, and I already pay to several charities each month, much more than I spend on HB, so I don't feel the need to increase that amount.

 

[Nzyme32]

(Just don't read the epilogue)

Tharsis soundtrack by Weval is amazing (screw this No Man's Sky 65 Days of Static poop). You can buy the Weval's Half-Age EP on Bandcamp / itunes etc, but unfortunately you can't actually buy the instrumental mix that the game has, but you can easily find the ripped version if so inclined.

Yeah, that's fair. I still think the games themselves have a bit of variety in this bundle, Space Engineers is certainly different, and Shelter 2 has style at least.

 

[Wok]

The reception of NMS is very similar to the reception of Eingana (procedural generation of the whole Earth, think Google Earth without Internet connection, on 4 CDs) 15 years ago. A few people will absolutely love the exploration and discoveries allowed by the game, will form a tight community sharing discoveries and stuff, while the rest will either ignore the game or mistake the game for what it is not and get angry. I still feel salty about my big disappointment after getting Eingana back then, yet I could be the kind of cat to do the same mistake twice.

i usually give it all to the developer. humble is backed by venture capital. most charities are scams, wasting money on admin and rarely fulfill their purpose i.e., red cross

Charities are frequenlty the same as corruption in governments sponsored by mandatory taxes with the only difference of being voluntary.

I tend to give most to charity, specifically TWLOHA by choice

I always take off the Humble tip. I leave the others as is.

Anyways, good bundle since I wanted Shelter 2. I know I'm paying a bit more than what it was on sale, but hopefully the other games are good enough to make up for it.

 

[Lashley]

I'm tired of seeing people tell those who think NMS looks boring that they "Overhyped it in their heads"

Fuck off

YES! I AM EXCITED! I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN!

I just got a Windows tablet with 1 USB port and Bluetooth. I'm thinking about doing some In home streaming

New Xbone Bluetooth controller or Steam Controller?

Xbone leaves that port free but Steam Controller is so much more versatile.

[cyba89]

Aw suck it, I preordered No Man's Sky. I like some not-complex space exploration and it looks like a cool relaxing game to play for an hour after work exploring planets and flying through space. If the game can give me that then it's exactly what I want.
