listen to the mad man
Trying to figure out what SE could put as the additional games for the bundle. So I broke out everything non-Final Fantasy from SE on Steam:

Stuff in parentheses has NOT been in one of the two SE bundles:
Code: 
[b]Thief[/b]
	Thief Gold
	(Thief II: The Metal Age)
	(Thief Deadly Shadows)
	Thief 4

[b]Deus Ex[/b]
	Deus Ex
	DE 2
	Deus Ex HR DC
	DE: The Fall
	(Project Snowblind)

[b]Hitman[/b]
	Hitman C47
	Hitman 2SA
	Hitman: BM
	Hitman: Contracts
	Hitman Absolution
	Hitman Go

[b]Just Cause[/b]
	Just Cause
	Just Cause 2

[b]Tomb Raider[/b]
	(Tomb Raider I)
	(Tomb Raider II)
	(Tomb Raider III)
	(Tomb Raider IV)
	(Tomb Raider V)
	(Tomb Raider VI)
	(Tomb Raider Anniversary)
	(Tomb Raider Legend)
	(Tomb Raider Underworld)
	Lara Croft GoL
	Tomb Raider 2013
	(Lara Croft ToO)

[b]Kane and Lynch[/b]
	[s](Kane and Lynch)[/s] <-- GFWL, can't generate keys
	Kane & Lynch 2

[b]Supreme Commander[/b]
	Supreme Commander 2

[b]Dungeon Siege[/b]
	(Dungeon Siege III)

[b]Battlestations Midway[/b]
	Battlestations Midway
	[s](Battlestations Pacific)[/s] <-- GFWL, can't generate keys

[b]Conflict[/b]
	(Conflict Denied Ops)
	(Conflict Desert Storm)

[b]Legacy of Kain[/b]
	(Legacy of Kain Defiance)
	(Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver)
	(Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 2)
	Nosgoth

[b]One-Offs:[/b]
	The Last Remnant
	Daikatana
	Mini Ninjas
	Anachronox
	Sleeping Dogs
	Murdered SS
	(Order of War)
	[s](Scary Girl)[/s] <-- Licensed, so unlikely they'd generate keys
	(Yosumin)
	[s](Life is Strange)[/s] <-- Release too recent
	(Front Mission Evolved)

My guess would be the middle two thief games and some of the earlier TR games are the most likely.

This validates my stance that it's never a bad thing to wait for a game/games to go down in price. Hell, I saw Supreme Commander 2 in a dollar store last week and waited because it wasn't bundled with another game I wanted.

Hell of a bundle. Hope we get either FF3/FF4 for week 2. I should be finished with Star Ocean by the end of the week.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

I'd say that Dungeon Siege III and Front Mission Evolved would be good 2nd week inclusions for them, since they were both AAA games that more or less tanked but survived based on the popularity of their respective franchises.

Yes, I can't remember if she killed the zombie by stomping his head, but you need to do that part in order to retrieve the key. I only remember the zombie was killed in a cutscene.

On Chris' game he doesn't stomp, so what I did was I unplugged the tub, ran out of the room, then went back in and the zombie position had changed more to the right so there was more room to run in, pick up the small key and run out. :D

Though I have no idea if the cutscene stomp counts. It would be crazy if it did but who knows.

From the list you posted, I think Front Mission and Dungeon Siege III are pretty likely.


I was going to say that they'll do a separate Tomb Raider bundle eventually, but with the inclusion of TR in this one, it's certainly possible that some of the last generation ones will make an appearance.

Has any of the older Tomb Raider games been in any bundles ever? I don't recall the Legend-Anniversary-Underworld trilogy ever been in one at least. It's somewhat surprising if that's the case.

Lightning is too good for bundles, apparently... I think we've hit a point now where you can safely ignore everything non-FF that Square puts out and pick it up for pocket change a year later, should you be so inclined.

Anyone here know how long it takes to complete FF IV the first time?

I'm reading up on the Augments system and how it takes multiple playthroughs to get all of them, so if it takes more than a few dozen hours to finish the game each time, I'm not going to bother being too thorough with trying to collect them all.

... Really?
So you didn't mind all the one-way doors, the narrow path funneling and the stupid DIAS "cinematic" scenes that could have been cutscenes for all the value they added that broke up your traversal?

Seeing as I don't know what you're referring to, I guess not? (What does "DIAS" stand for?)

The Total War games never fail to blow me away in terms of scale, especially the past two given how detailed the units are.

Really miss the gore dlc though, added a lot to the battles in Shogun 2 and Rome II just in terms of making the battlefield more alive and dynamic.

I played through it once last year, and my play time was 32.2 hours. I've played the game many many times (so I knew where to go and what to do) on other platforms, but this was the first time I played the 3D remake.

I'd say you probably shouldn't worry about getting all of the augments or achievements, because it's a fantastic game and very much worth playing, especially if you haven't played before. I got (I think) all of the achievements you can get in a single play through, with the exception of the one about beating it on the hard difficulty, and I have 48 of 58 (83%) of the achievements.

I recommend howlongtobeat in general. It's not always spot on, but it gives an idea.

Thanks. I guess the PC version is going to be the most similar to the DS version. Sounds like about 50 hours to 100% and 30 hours for first playthrough. Not too bad, considering it took me 60 hours to finish III and I still didn't bother with the absurd level 99 and Iron Giant bullcrap that would have taken me twice as long.

Sounds good -- I usually don't bother with achievements that cause me excessive angst / grinding -- kind of ruins the game.

Hitman GO is a really, really solid mobile puzzler that disguises its mechanics with familiar Hitman scenarios and concepts.

You know, since everyone's buying the mid-tier anyway for the masterpiece of narrative that is Thi4f.

Agreed. There were really only two of them that I unlocked that were a bit on the "grindy" side, but still not too bad.

The first was to raise the main character to level 25 before
he changes classes
which is typically done around level 22-23 anyway so it wasn't too bad, though the achievement is completely missable.

The second was obtaining the Adamant Armor, which requires a rare drop from a completely bullshit monster. Some people get lucky though and get this item really early in the game.

The rest were basically story-based achievements: fight this boss, win 1,000 battles, etc. Stuff you pretty much have to do anyway.

Always fun to see people jerking themselves all over about meaning less numbers of meaningless reviews.
