On one hand having to reinsert the verification code when making gift links on Humble is annoying, on the other finding out the code is always the same makes me question the security of it all.

 

[Elija2]

It will probably be the first borderlands if anything.

Aww, that kinda sucks. What's the point of playing Borderlands 1 these days?

 

[freshVeggie]

Is the wait worth it?

 

[Eanan]

Yep, these things happen:

731 days till raffle ends, I cant wait!! Wake me up when its near the end.

 

[billmcdougal]

Is Spec Ops worth going up to the next tier?

I think so, though I've seen keys sold for like $4 before I think.

The game is totally worth playing through though, if you're willing to play through generic shooter gameplay (it's not awful, just not much new) to experience a great story.

Bioshock -- MB-8B677B140C81173C - Taken by danhese007

holy shit @ that countdown.

 

[JaseC]

is the Mafia II included the Digital Deluxe?
http://store.steampowered.com/app/50460/

Yes. Despite what the page layout suggests it's a Steam bundle that includes Mafia 2 and the DLC; the DDE itself is not a separate app.

 

[Garcia]

Wow, finally a decent bundle!!

 

[phoenix296]

why would they not be?

There was a time when Humble was transitioning from actual keys to steam integration where the you couldn't gift games in the bundle. I haven't bought a bundle from them in a while so I wasn't sure how the steam integration + gifting was happening.

 

[Eanan]

Does that Bioshock 2 include the Minerva den DLC by any chance does anyone know?

 

[Trejik]

Wolf Among Us ending is great. Everyone that's been waiting for it to be fully out to play it, it's my favorite TTG game. Don't hesitate, if you like their stuff, this is probably the best.

 

[JaseC]

Does that Bioshock 2 include the Minerva den DLC by any chance does anyone know?

Short of 2K either stuffing up or being generous, no, it won't. Minerva's Den is sold separately on Steam (although it was given free-of-charge to those who'd bought Bio2 prior to the Steamworks patch).

 

[Stallion Free]

You can ask Valve to remove the game, however removals are sub-based and so if you obtained it as part of a bundle you couldn't lose it without also losing the other games.

Yeah, I'm aware you can do that, but it's a pain in the ass and not worth the effort for the ~200 games I want to dump until they just give us an option to do it ourselves.

 

[super-famicom]

Is the wait worth it?

It's secretly Half-Life 3!

 

[Cyberquake]

Humble 2K bundle
TIER 1: 1$

• Bioshock
• The Bureau
• The Darkness 2

TIER 2: BTA

• Bioshock 2
• Mafia II
• Spec Ops: The Line

TIER 3: 20$

• XCOM: Enemy Unknown
• Bioshock Infinite

Good bundle. Will buy it when the BTA will be under 5 obamas. Expect some giveaways soon also.

 

[Saty]

What licensing issues prevent NBA games on bundles?

 

[Jadax]

ok so I've been playing recettear for the last few hours non-stop and missed the whole Deponia: Complete Journey discussion - how is it going for 1k on the market? Isn't it all 3 games + extras?

Oh, and this is probably the first HB I'm going to get in a long long time.

 

[Grief.exe]

Yeah, I'm aware you can do that, but it's a pain in the ass and not worth the effort for the ~200 games I want to dump until they just give us an option to do it ourselves.

The polar opposite of Jase's strategy.

Never bought upper tiers before. So if I pay 5,15$ now I get whatever game unlocks later, right.
From the text it sounds like multiple games will unlock. How is this profitable? That's less than a buck per game. And these weren't 20$ releases but 60$. How come pubs are ok with this? Better for me but still curious.

thats pretty easy. The majority of those game sales have already been Doné. The money they are getting now is probably more profitable than what they get regularly. They also get thousands of new people that never thought of buying the games that could be interested on buying dlcs and sequels.

 

[MMBosstones86]

There was a time when Humble was transitioning from actual keys to steam integration where the you couldn't gift games in the bundle. I haven't bought a bundle from them in a while so I wasn't sure how the steam integration + gifting was happening.

There was only a short period of time where things weren't giftable I think. Modbot should have a tutorial, but there should be a little present picture next to the key line. Clicking that will create a 'gift link' so you can gift the game.

Someone else can provide a picture, i suck at explaining things.

 

[arts&crafts]

holy cow! Bureau for 1$!

 

[Lain]

Yep, these things happen:

A long wait time, but at least the gif delivers.

 

[wilflare]

Yes. Despite what the page layout suggests it's a Steam bundle that includes Mafia 2 and the DLC; the DDE itself is not a separate app.

my current Mafia II sub is Mafia II Retail nVidia
so I should be able to claim the one from the bundle and get everything?

 

[Blitzhex]

That bureau bomba

 

[AsylumX]

What licensing issues prevent NBA games on bundles?

NBA has the license for NBA, and they won't like to sell a product from their brand for pennies and make no money out of it.

 

[angular graphics]

That bureau bomba

The only price I'd pay for it!

 

[wilflare]

.

eh so which game did you buy the bundle for?

 

[Htown]

That bureau bomba

Yep.

Remember when THAT was gonna be the new X-Com game?

Now look at it stuck in the $1 tier while the turn based strategy version is at $20.

Faith in gaming restored.

 

[liezryou]

Humble bundle you have redeemed yourself in my eyes.

Spoiler

I have all the games except the 1$ games, fucking amazing value

 

[Terra_Ex]

Picked up the bundle just for The Bureau, already own everything else in it.

 

[Anteater]

Yep, these things happen:

it's like one of my japanese animes

[freshVeggie]

With all these giveaways I'll better hold off before buying.

truebloodpcgaming.gif

Dude, I don't do lists but the sale was my foray into modern PC gaming and if you could see my spreadsheet... holy..
How is not everyone already gaming on PC? Previously I thought PC guys were always full of hyperbole when it came to savings.. but now I saw it first-hand.
Going console-only doesn't make sense to me anymore. There's not one title atm I'd prefer console over pc.

 

[MMBosstones86]

At least more people will be able to play The Bureau now. Really underrated game.

 

[Bboy AJ]

Nice bundle. I want Infinite but $20 is too much. Cheaper to bta and Steam sale.

 

[JaseC]

Yeah, I'm aware you can do that, but it's a pain in the ass and not worth the effort for the ~200 games I want to dump until they just give us an option to do it ourselves.

After all the hullabaloo with people originally being able to delete items from their inventories (most notably, many users "accidentally" deleted their L4D2 Bill's Hat in order to score the rarer Vintage replacement), the best I see happening is Valve streamlining the game deletion request process a bit -- I don't think it'll ever be something users will be able to do themselves. It's less a matter of Valve expending the effort and more that people are fickle, stupid and untrustworthy.

 

[def sim]

What a nice bundle! It's too bad I already own everything in it.

edit: not mafia 2 hm

 

[electroflame]

Got in at $5.13 -- pretty awesome bundle, even though I had both Bioshock games and Mafia II already.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

Does Declassified have a launcher? Don't fancy idling in full game on my basic laptop.

 

[bloke]

At least more people will be able to play The Bureau now. Really underrated game.

Really, everyone's talking about it as if it's total trash... well at least it has cards

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

Yep.

Remember when THAT was gonna be the new X-Com game?

Now look at it stuck in the $1 tier while the turn based strategy version is at $20.

Faith in gaming restored.

at least they know which one people like

 

[JaseC]

Does Declassified have a launcher? Don't fancy idling in full game on my basic laptop.

I don't think it does, judging from how the app is configured in the registry.

 

[Benedict]

Well, here's 2K's catalogue (excluding Rockstar) on Steam:
Borderlands 1 and 2
XCOM: Classic games, Enemy Unknown, Enemy Within, The Bureau
BioShock 1, 2, and 3
Civilization III, IV, and V, plus Colonization, and other standalones, plus CivCty, plus Railroads and Pirates and Ace Patrol
Duke Nukem Forever
NBA2K13 and 2K14
Freedom Force 1 and 2
Railroad Tycoon 2 and 3
The Darkness II
Spec Ops: The Line
Mafia II
Stronghold Collection

Taking into account that the licensing issues with NBA definitely prohibit it from being in this bundle, Duke, Civ, and Borderlands seem like the best options. Everything else seems a little too old or weird, the Civ spinoffs seem unlikely.

So I'd guess maybe two of DNF, Borderlands 1, and Civ 5 as BTA bonuses?

There has already been a Sid Meier bundle recently, so I don't think any of his games would be listed again so soon.

It's not. It's a mediocre game, but we live in a world where a game is either GOTY or shit.

 

[NingenJanai]

Really, everyone's talking about it as if it's total trash... well at least it has cards

Game is awesome, totally underrated.
