Nope - I've been messing with this for 10 mins now. Anything you put in the basket now shows as $0 but once you go to pay, it says "one or more items have changed price since you added it to your cart"
Purchasing things is still broken both in the client and BPM, where you don't even get the option to purchase. No idea what has happened to my transaction
Ok, not seeing anything under Purchases list though, no Legends of Grimrock II either. Oh well, guess I'll just wait bit more.
Nothing is available for purchase, then they are or are listed as $0 regardless of region, then they aren't again
Whole store is broken and freaking out.
I would avoid buying anything right now. This started mid transaction for me, so I don't know what happened to my purchase
Senran Kagura is great and saying that it requires "no effort" to localize is hilariously wrong.
If it persists, you should contact their customer support.
let's agree to disagree about what's great and what's not.
Also you say that it requires amount of work Trails games require? seriously?
Abandon all hope and seek refuge in the Uplay thread! At least you can buy stuff from their storefront (at vastly inflated prices).
Bloody hell that's a good deal. That's something I'd expect over here at retail than the US.

Humble Monthly bouts to happen. If it does contain Besiege, I'll most likely lightning modbot it.

That 4k ultra witcher 3 raw video I took finally finished processing on Youtube. I have it as unlisted here:

About a third of all titles are unavailable for purchase because their developers/publishers couldn't be bothered to put a regional price for the games. In comparison, only a handful of games have inflated prices where the devs just did a direct dollar to rupee conversion.
Bad news, your transaction has already gone to shit. I waited 20 minutes and then gave up. You'll have to contact their support now.

In 3 hours it starts, no? Wonder if Valkyria Chronicles was a correct guess.

From the little bit I've played, I agree 100%. I'll end up buying SKSV for sure and I'd like to see more localized, as I don't think any but SKSV was brought over to NA at this point.
Arthea is just being his super defensive about Trails because it's niche and it didn't do massive numbers self.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Bundle on Bundle Stars for $9.99 (Steam keys)

got my fallout 4 code from gmg!!
Thanks for the head's up! Just got my code from them
Good price.
And to think I purchased SoC for $2 back in 2009, and then the other 2 for $6.23 in 2011. Then someone decided the series actually had value and prices only got higher. Now slowly devaluing again in bundles.

Are they really not going to let people buy the bundle once it's announced? Seems like a silly decision.

With this first one, they should do it to get more people on board.
Reading is hard uh? Where did I say that?
Let's read what you said again
Come the fuck on, this is an outright lie. Saying it requires no effort is absolute bullshit and shows that you never actually played the game at all.
Also, less effort than needed for Trails does not equal "no effort".

If you think it's good and you missed out, you'll want to sign up to not miss next month's bundle... at least that's what their thinking.
If they do offer it for some reason, it won't be for the same $12.
I see, will do that, thanks.
EDIT: F*** me, literally second after I sent this message, I finally got confirmation on Humble page, after that "WAITING FOR STRIPE" message was there for over an hour, patience pays I guess ;P

It'll be probably really good since I didn't get it. You're welcome
Funstock still hasn't come through yet but I don't care that much about the pre-load. As long as I am playing this late Monday night or when I get home from work on Tuesday I'm happy. Funstock did get me the code for Mad Max a day early though so I expect the same with Fallout
got my fallout 4 code from gmg!!
And i just got mine. Will probably play LOTV before tho, since that will be far shorter.

Didnt get my code for Fallout from GMG:..
Edit: Didnt get an email, but was in my games library at GMG.

I doubt it, still.
I expect disappointment... maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised, but it seems rather unlikely. Odds are that these are not aimed at people like me who have a very large library of Steam games.
Because all humble bundles have been terrible since those first few, right?

Actually don't bother. I just got an email with the bundle details. You'll probably get yours momentarily.
Well if Tomb Raider and Torchlight are included I'll have them up for a raffle.

Right. Something how it goes when other bundle sites let you preorder for cheaper, but then with this if you buy it when it's released at a higher price, does that get you the monthly next month?
I don't know...the whole thing is strange.

Gonna try to beat until dawn before tuesday cause if i dont itll be a looong time before i beat it
The first few were excellent.
Sounds like gambling to me.

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.
Well of course I also pre-ordered from GMG during the Mad Max Coupon Craze© on PC. So yeah, I'm kinda crazy like that. Especially since I know full well that my PC won't run the game.
That game's great but honestly pretty short. I think it took me 7 hours.

Some of the later ones were still good. We got a great Capcom bundle just 2-3 weeks ago.
And the first ones were excellent, because during that time the games we got (Trine, Blocks that matter etc.) were kind of the only indiegames on Steam.

It's currently more along the lines of a straight loot crate, I think.
Want next month's loot crate? Sign up before <time/day>. Want to cancel? Do so before that same <time/day>. Feel like you missed out? Well then, you should've been subbed... so sub before the next deadline so you don't miss out again...
It's like buying those random boxes during a woot-off for $1 or whatever. You could get something cool, you could get something terrible... but when the woot-off is over, you can't order it anymore and you won't know what you got until the box shows up at your house.
Yeah and the rest are apparently all trash according to you.
I'd say most AAA bundles have been pretty good. The Indie bundles have been faltering, though.
Yes, and the few indie games that still manage to be successful have learned to enjoy their status for a good while before jumping on bundles.

But thats because Steam offers a lot of shovelware now and when the first indie-games hit Steam, actually Valve did some kind of QA to ensure about the quality of games released on their service (when it came to indie-devs).
But from what I can see Lootcrate usually doesnt even offer good deals and if you buy these things from a normal website/chinese gadget website, you can get these for the same price or even cheaper.
... that makes no sense whatsoever though. Humble Bundle curates their own bundles, obviously. They choose who gets in, and there've been more and more great indie games releasing. The shovelware excuse makes no sense.
Probably you're right, but 99% of customers don't know that:
-game is longer
-there's more text in it
30 is not a cheap price for such a title, even if it offers much content in first place.
I'm not saying the game isn't worth that price, only that it's twice expensive than first TITS.

It's not even the QA -- it's the sheer numbers. If you give away all the "indie" darlings, over the next x years you will run out of "excellent" games to give out as part of a super discount bundle.
NO.
Dammit. People need to improve reading comprehension.
No blanket statement of "all the games included in humble monthly will be games that have never been bundled previously." was ever made. IIRC, it was stated that some of the games included would be things that hadn't been bundled (read: Beseiged, Valkyria Chronicles if the guesses are right). This leaves the door open for "quality/classic" rebundles such as TR2013 and SR4.
Outside of that Android/Mobile bundles, I wouldn't necessarily term a lot of the content of previous Humble Bundles as "shovelware". This isn't the Wii we're talking about here.
Yup, that's indeed correct.

I know that. I was just saying that during the early days of the Indiebundles, the bundles were great when they offered Steamgames, because actually they often offered the only indie-games on Steam that were even available on that Service before it was flooded with Shovelware.
The devs that had games up on Steam during that time needed exposure, because people used Steam at that time for AAA games/publisher games, not small indiegames, so they bundled them.
I guess now it looks quite different.
Besides that: The Humble bundles during that time happened three or four times a year. Right now there is a new weekly and new Humble Bundles arrive every 2 week.
I would say the quality never dropped. The current Jumbo Bundle e.g. offers great games.
I just think nothing changed regarding that, considering the Humble Bundles were like 3-4 times a year before till it changed like 2-3 years ago.

Thats good to hear and i pretty much figured, played like 2 hours and i assume im on chapter 3, saw the therapist like 3 or 4 times already and everytime you see him you get a "last time on until dawn"
I'm all in.
Me too. Just subscribed after thinking about it for a long time.
