In for the $1 tier, and maybe BTA if it drops to $3.

Don't own Among the Sleep or Retro Game Crunch so I'll go for the BTA.

HMMM, the only thing I'm interested in is the top tier, but I know war machine tactics hasn't been reviewed well and is glitchy. Hmmm..
wb Doggie, that post was kinda funny.
ya, it wasn't debate, just my observation and your opinion on this subject is irrelevant anyway, I think it's you who have said that you see difference between 100 and 101 fps, without going into detail what exactly you can see. Simply put, you are the superhuman.
You see... there is nothing to see when there is no motion, picture without motion (in ideal conditions, frames changes instantly) looks the same at 1 fps rate and 100 fps. The faster the motion the easier to see, but, it depends on character of motion and there is no way around it, there is possible to make animation that will look like let's say 24 fps when being actually 48 or 72 or even 100, but not other way around, because motion is everything.
And don't understand me wrongly, I'm not saying there are no superhumans, maybe there are, who knows.
I also subscribe to very unpopular view that slow games don't benefit from having higher fps in any significant way.
after this you have real reasons to get all worked up, no?

I know this is the Steam thread but this is the only active community thread that I thought might be able to help me ;s
Is there any chance someone who lives in the UK would be willing to help me by purchasing this
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D Special Edition
And mailing it to me? GAME doesn't ship over 1kg internationally and I couldn't find other places with a comparable price that ship internationally
I'll pay whatever it takes to send the package and gift you a $10 on Steam as a thank you ;p

No prices for me in Steamanyone with the same problem?
Same with me. All prices are gone but F2P is not.

Sell and re-buy the vastly superior version. You might make a profit.
I'm only interested in Lords of Xulima. Meh. Pretty good bundle overall but I'll pass unless I can find someone who wants everything but Xulima.

NOT SO FAST!
If you don't Have ARK Consider getting it as a new episode of it is now on steam and is going for around $2 if you own the first game.

Oh deer, Steam's gonna die, isn't it??
Uplay finally won.
Uplay finally won.
Of course, the game itself is a janky, broken mess of an adventure game with mechanics straight from the bad part of the 90s

Man, who the fuck is driving up the BTA to $4.20 and counting? Humble has been gaming this for a while, haven't they? Can't see such an underwhelming bundle doing so well so quickly.

Prices. Back they are.
I think Lords of Xulima is regarded as a decent game, might be due to that.
Clearly Valve wants you to buy something so they can keep the store up.

All the games in the bottom tiers have been bundled already except Retro Game Crunch, so for people like me who already have everything, all the value is in the top tier. But its too steep for me so I'm sitting this one out, but I guess quite a few of the people buying are only getting it for the top tier.
Welp, nothing for me.
Are we talking WOTS or DP? Because may anger was redirected at him calling the latter a turd.
Because you don't need any of it.
Different publisher would be good guess.

Back in jail I go.
So much for this not being bundled (according to the devs).
I had this weird notion that it's far from decent, at least I remember reviews leaving this impression on me. I removed it from my wishlist at that time too.
Anything changed?
fake edit: just noticed, it's still on my wishlist. Not sure about anything anymore
real fake edit: but not buying that bundle, anyway
being in $13 tier hardly counts as being bundled, at least in my eyes.

Something new from Stardock: Sorcerer King
In general, fewer purchases tends to mean higher averages. Fairly small number of purchases, not very appealing $1 tier, somewhat tempting $13 tier, means those few people who buy have a greater chance of spending more. HB definitely fakes (or at very least self creates) the initial price (which certainly has an anchoring effect), but there's never been any evidence they game anything after that.
Honestly the biggest thing in this specific bundle is that the $1/BTA tiers are rebundled stuff, while the $13 tier has two games that have never been bundled or more than 50% off on Steam, so regular bundle buyers are either going to get the $13 tier or nothing most likely. That drives the average up. Humble average is about low tier vs high tier quality, not about overall bundle quality.

From what I've seen of Retro Game Crunch (Mostly that time-travel Metroidvania game), it looks pretty good.

Can't say no to Full Bore for a buck.
Hahaha no sorry I should have clarified I'm saying it never becomes a debate because generally the 'participants' believe that their position is the correct one. It more often than not becomes a circular shit slinging fest than anything of a scientific discussion. But I can see I've already got a smart arse trying to tell me the difference between frame rate and refresh rate completely ignoring what I'm proposing and that a frame rate limited game is unable to handle inputs at a frequency greater than the games tick rate so I guess that conversation is dead and buried already.
Did you ever play Quake 2? Due to the game having its physics having a variable time step you could cause some awesome glitches most notably various super human jumps and mid air side strafes. Different frame rates yielded different results to the extent you had some folks running the game with certain shaders disabled to get the framerate up that high.
Man how times of changed.
You do not understand my pain.
I'm buying Forsaken Uprising in retribution.
Well, it's the best substitute for Might & Magic XI Ubisoft killed.
Or rather, classic Might & Magic with Final Fantasy X fight system. What's not to like?
I'm contemplating buying - don't have anything from the top tier, ~$3 per game doesn't sound as bad. Especially when Xulima alone, even 70% off goes for $9.
I think I'll just wait and see if the game isn't in BeMine21.

I remember playing Survival Kids when I was younger, but I lost the cartridge a long time ago and the prices for it now are ridiculous.
And Konami doesn't care about the eshop anymore so it'll never get released on the 3DS VC ;_;
I've been waiting for Insanity's Blade to end up in a bundle, cool. I've heard some good and bad things about Devil's Dare, but I'll buy it at that price.

Kinda tempted mainly for Xulima, but whether I'll actually play before it hits an even lower price is debatable.
Next week on Humble...
And everyone should be buying WotS4, of course.
"Don't worry, guys, we're totally not bundling our game anytime soon."

I can't speak for any of the other games in the list, but Guns of Icarus is an amazing game to play with friends.

Yeah, sadly, that's Capcom going for mexican retail prices on Steam
Can't you get such games cheaper from other regions/via traders?
Probably, considering $1100MXN = $69.52 USD. You can just grab it off GMG or wherever it's cheapest close to release. The thing is almost every other publisher has cheaper prices in the store. Even with the GMG extra discount things end up being cheaper in the mexican steam store most of the time.
Yep

That's certainly more tempting, so GOG wins this time. I'm sure I'll get the +1 as a natural consequence of a future bundle anyway.
