Forgot about Kero Blaster since it wasn't on my wishlist for some reason.
What did % did it go for during the sale?

 

[William Bonney]

Pretty solid bundle for me, almost everything was on my wishlist. Dark Souls and Hyper Light Drifter are doubles, but I don't really mind getting extra copies of good games for gifting.

 

[InquisitorAles]

Came home after work, saw that my friend gifted me july humble monthly. But when i redeemed gift link and got pillars and fucking NBA, i was really confused. And then i realized that new month started 10 minutes ago and i missed july bundle because i didn't checked my mail earlier. Great job as always, HB.

Wait, so when someone gifts a monthly bundle it's just A monthly bundle and not THAT month?

That seems like a weird way to do it considering there are unlocks and someone might be trying to gift specific games.

 

[Arulan]

€40 for Grimoire?!
No thank you.

I don't really see the problem, assuming it is a quality game. The game appears to offer an insane level of content, and offering an experience not seen since Wizardry VII: Crusaders of the Dark Savant. It's without a doubt a niche genre that will mostly attract CRPG enthusiasts. Although not relevant from a consumer standpoint, the time invested into its development is also insane.

Everyone has to make their own personal value judgement, but I've never understood the sentiment of they're asking that much for this type of game?!.

The new Monthly highlights NBA '17 and Pillars of Eternity.

The recent bundle that just got fully unlocked has these cool games-
Arnello
Kero Blaster
Hyper Light Drifter

Yeah, i was surprised too, i was pretty sure that giftlinks are linked to specific bundles, not just monthly sub. I already sent ticket to HB support, i'll post here their response when they'll answer me.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

It does bug me how much attention Humble gives to Stardock.

But then again, that usually amounts to making their games free, which means I can get their games without supporting their scummy CEO.

Lol. You seem pretty bitter about that airplane game.

 

[Orakio Rob]

Guys, Hyper Light Drifter is freaking amazing. I finished it last week and I'm considering replaying it, it's really really good.

Combat demands precision, but is also very fun. The world is beautiful and filled with secrets. The plot is told through images and the environment, so it's great for people who prefer stories with lots of questions and little answers.

Is a humble thing or a stardock thing? I mean, perhaps they are offering their games every month.

PD: If you got Stellaris last month is a better space 4x than Galactic Civilizations III. The two of them have their faults, but GC III AI can be frustrating.

That humble bundle monthly is not bad..

 

[Tizoc]

Humble Bundle doesn't make bundles anymore ?

We are likely to get one in Tuesday, but it is odd that they didn't do any bundles during the Summer Sale. i wonder if Publishers had a say in that.

 

[MushroomSamba]

Are games in the Monthly Bundle more likely to be in future upcoming bundles? Or less likely? Just kinda curious if there's a relationship there.

Humble Bundle doesn't make bundles anymore ?

Well, it was a string of Steam Summer Sale and Monthly Bundle hitting in consecutive weeks.

 

[NeoRaider]

Only Monthly. XD

Well, Wiz 7 goes for €5 before discounts nowadays. M&M 1-6 go for €9.
Is Grimoire really ~8 times better than these games?

[thesaucetastic]

I think slightly more likely. It's not uncommon to see monthly bundle stuff in the weeklies a few months/a year later.

Gotcha, that would make sense, too. I wonder if there's an analysis on this, like proportion of Monthlies in future (or past) weeklies, average lag time between them, etc...

 

[Tripolygon]

I've seen lots of "WORST MONTHLY EVER" quotes; what exactly did it contain this month?

It is not the best but it certainly not the worst. Dark Souls 2 kinda makes it for me really and everything else is just gravy.

 

[neoemonk]

I signed up for Humble Monthly two days ago because I've missed a few games that I was disappointed about, and I figured screw it. I've spent a ton of cash on MMO sub money, and it's about the same price. I was really happy to see that I got Pillars of Eternity today.

 

[Diedac]

I thought HB Monthly would not include previously bundled games but GC III was in an earlier Humble Bundle

I'm at 299 games now. Damn, I wanted Xanadu to be my 300th but I don't think I'll be able to last until next sale.

Gotcha, that would make sense, too. I wonder if there's an analysis on this, like proportion of Monthlies in future (or past) weeklies, average lag time between them, etc...

Not sure about everything else (although it shouldn't be hard to figure out if I were willing to put the time into it), but the proportion of monthlies in past weeklies is 0, at least so far.

tizoc's giveaway has 15 minutes left but modbot is already assigning winners?

Maybe he forgot to put autorepost on his initial giveaway? So when he resent the raffle to modbot it didn't update the keys.

It is not the best but it certainly not the worst. Dark Souls 2 kinda makes it for me really and everything else is just gravy.

Unless the person already has most of those games, I don't understand how they can say it's a terrible bundle (or even not a decent one, at that). DS2 and HLD are likely worth the $12 alone.

yes, but if you live in Europe they probably increased in price from the last sale because of PARADOX

 

[FLD]

Ohh, Pillars of Eternity. Nice! Instant resub.

As for this month, disappointing but not completely awful for me. I've wanted Kero Blaster for a while and I'll definitely give that Sherlock Holmes game a shot at some point.

[thesaucetastic]

Were the White March DLC for PoE part of the Summer sale?

Yeah, for 40% off. In the past it went for 50% though (RIP my $2.49).

Speaking of which, PoE was incredibly close to hitting the 1 mil mark before this bundle: it's at 939,340 ± 25,351. I can't see pre-summer sales owners though.
