Game looks brilliant. If it's paid DLC I guess it isn't as bad. I'd pre-order if I could find it cheap in pounds, but no luck atm.

SSL breaking ModBot shows the machines taking over is still a long time coming.You mean stump did
Wouldn't work at all on PC.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
I'd say it's easily been worth it with the -10% off coupons.

I think they are meant as high-value bundles you pay in advance. In that sense it makes only sense for them to behave like regular bundles and you keeping them forever.

Whatever. Enhanced steam makes it easy to mass unjoin groups.
you're most likely member in most of them already. unless you also leave them on principle as soon as you get the key. that will teach them
Got a duped key, got bloody scammed.

I had that happen with pirates of the black cove. I got it, found out I already had the game, put it in a give away and mod bot said someone else had already given it away.
I've been happy so far (2 months). It seems like a decent bet if you're interested in a wide variety of games and don't already have a lot of them.
That's a damn good question.
I don't know, I read a lot? No seriously, I read like every new book I come across. And all the Kickstarter-backer souls stories. Stuff like that. Oh, and RTWP combat. Yeah, I pause. A LOT.
Yeah, I try to read everything as well. High point of the game for me. I don't care much for PoE combat, so I've been playing on Normal/Easy, which doesn't require as much of micromanaging, so my encounters generally resolve quickly. Might be as to why there's so much discrepancy between us.
(I also didn't do the three exclusive paths in the Act II, just single mission for each faction and then decided to go with the Knights for the final one)
There's a lot of combat, way to much for my liking. But you can always put the game on Easy or Story Mode difficulties.
IMO you won't be losing that much.
Please don't sick Berath on me, Durante-sempai
Hey, hey, I don't tend to rush through games (as evident by my TitS SC playtime). I just devour them.

the best thing about good Humble Monthly bundles is when people end up getting a key for a game they already own so you can pick up something from the bundle for dirt cheap.
That's how i managed to get Wasteland 2 for a fiver.
So keep them coming

You get 10% off coupons from the main humble bundle.
The monthly bundles also gives you 10% coupons that you can use in the Humble Store

Not long before we find out if Slain! is any good or not.

Oh, I'm very tempted to sign up, especially since I could replay South Park. Just worried my laptop won't be able to run games.
Is Wasteland good? Got it for XB1, played it for an hour but its quite difficult.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Usually in the $1 tier of a bundle they'll throw a Humble Monthly coupon
Here are this years bundles. They don't list the ones from November and December anymore for some reason:

I don't know, picked it up while keys were cheap because I've been itching for a Fallout game since my recently playthrough of FNV. Still need to actually play it lol

The default party is crap, this video is a useful frame of reference. (Applies to all version of the game, I would think) Except one thing: Never use shotguns in this game, they are worthless.
As to quality: Between Fallout 1 and 2. Not as good as 2, but the actual combat I found to be a lot more enjoyable. The area that is most lacking is the story, though it is mostly pacing, the game ends just when it is starting to open up. The Arizona part should have been a short prologue, not a 30 hour prologue.
Last I checked, you should give all your party members assault rifles. Secondary is up to you, but do look up which weapons/skills recruit-able characters specialize in. You really only need one person to open safes, for example.
Was Salsa one of MS's failed prototypes?
As far as rhythm-based issues goes, that's just something that takes a lot of practice. It might help to try to tap along to random songs you hear while driving, just to get used to doing something on a beat.
As for the rest of the game, none of it is really "luck-based", as almost every enemy has a set pattern. The only enemies that move randomly are the bats, and since all of them but the red ones only move every other beat, it's not too hard to work out a system for beating them.
If you're dying on the "first group of enemies", then you're doing something very, very wrong, and that's not at all luck-based. Like the tutorial says, watch what the enemies do. Most of them, especially the early ones, have very obvious signs that indicate when they're about to attack. Skeletons, for example, move every other beat (and they raise their hands before they're about to move. So, if there's one space between you and a skeleton, and his hands are up, don't move closer to him. There are some enemies that move every beat (the spirits, for example), and there are times where you're a space away from them, with no way to close the gap. What you can do here is just head towards a wall and dig a block. Digging a block will still count as doing "something" and allow you to keep your multiplier, and will allow the enemy to move a step closer, letting you attack them on the next beat.
As far as items go, the stuff you buy with diamonds aren't "upgrades", but instead just unlock items that will appear in the shops/chests/etc. Also, make sure to destroy all the crates and barrels that you can. They've often got good stuff in them. If you're currently doing more than 3 damage per hit, you can just attack them, otherwise you can use a bomb or push them onto a spike trap. You can also bomb the various shrines to get items from them.

lol that's Fiona Staples' art style. If you ask comicgaf, all you will hear is praise. If you could def. give it a chance you may end up liking it.

Factorio is dope, and I played an earlier version over a year ago.
Finish Planescape, is the best of the bunch.

Shadowrun is shorter.
Baron von Loathsome

Shadowrun Returns is the shortest, How Long to Beat says 12-ish hours long. Divinity is the longest at 70-ish.
Probably Shadowrun, just because they're shorter. Play both Dragonfall and Hong Kong at the least. After that I'd say Pillars as a change of pace in combat, then D:OS.
Awesome! Now I can fill in a couple gaps I have with a handful of games I track.

Nvidia gave me a Uplay key, redeemed my code the same day of the glitch...
Pillars is the best game out of this three, just don't expect it to be a good as Planescape.
Cheers guys. I think I'll go through Shadowrun and then Pillars. Will return to Planescape from scratch after that

Guys, I have a question about the Big Picture Mode.
How do I get back to it when in a game ? I have an Xbox One controller and the Xbox button doesn't do anything. Is it even possible?

Yeah, I didn't know or I would have redeemed them myself. When I redeemed the Far Cry key it made me sign in through Uplay and it added the game for me. I figured these keys were the same way.

you used to be able to do it pre-windows 10 by just hitting the guide button BUT win10 broke that feature.
Still works on the Steam Controller, though
