I tried to go back to BG1 and played a bit until I started getting a bunch of bugs because I no longer had the mods installed. So I'm playing BG2 and wow, the polish over BG1 is so stark. Also the game feels more open, directly in the begining I don't have a quest and no idea where to go, which is nice to just wander around.

BG2 is such a vast improvement over the first one.

There are other mechanics. Gambling of in-game currency to get points to level up compendium, which could otherwise be bought. A bit stretched.

I wasn't talking exclusively about Dota 2 there. I meant F2P mobile games mostly.

I've played plenty of Dota 2 over the years (1500 hrs played-ish), I'm not very worried about that game wrt gambling. It's the other stuff that is more troubling to me.

Mad max is $7.49 over at indiegala for anyone that wants to put 20 hours in it, realize they finish 1/4 of the game and then uninstall it due to its repetitiveness

This is the stuff that irks me a fair bit. It is encouraging gambling behaviour in a way that is masked. There are a lot of mechanics like this in games that don't involve money and are used for making people grind more or play more and eventually twist into getting them to invest more into it, whether that is time or money. It's dodgy through out the industry

Tried a little Sniper Elite 3 yesterday before Mafia 3 unlocked and man, SE3 is much prettier than I thought. And the basic mechanics are much better than in SE2.


First thing I did was shoot a Nazi that was crouching in his knee, the bullet passed the whole leg and exploded his testicles.

The Humble Monthly countdown looks like it'll end at 11:56 AM CST, which is odd.

That's normal.

 

[bjaelke]

Gives them 4 minutes to prepare another survival game for early access.

 

[chronomac]

That's normal.

I thought it was at Noon exactly. I mean, it doesn't really matter. Just thought it was weird.

 

[Phawx]

Time to see what I got in this month's humble

 

[ramoisdead]

4 minutes until Bandle disappointment. Valve needs to up its gambling game cuz Humble got you suckers down pat.

Digital Homicide Special Monthly Removed Rare Games Bundle incoming

 

[pantsattack]

Harvey Smith is on Vice Gaming Podcast for that sweet sweet Dishonored 2 tidbits.

That world building video for D2 earlier this week was quite inspirational. Conceptualizing 200 years of history to determine culture, architecture, and technology is such an exciting thought.

 

[jshackles]

Need me a Slime Rancher code, gonna play that during Extra Life this year.

Time to hit up the B/S/T thread

 

[Phawx]

Slime Rancher (Early Access)

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number

Deponia Doomsday

Train Valley

Action Henk

THOTH


Fidel - Dungeon Rescue

Stardew Valley next month

 

[bbd23]

stardew valley early unlock

hmmm...

 

[Sarcasm]

Nice!

 

[ramoisdead]

Action Henk and Slime Rancher. Waaaaaaay better than last month's.

Stardew Valley in the next Bandle. Goddammit I'm such a mark.

 

[fantomena]

Own all games except Train Valley.

And I was about to subb a few days ago lol.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Stardew Valley is in next months bundle. Waiting has paid off!

 

[Tizoc]

Slime Rancher (Early Access)

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number

Deponia Doomsday

Train Valley

Action Henk

THOTH

Stardew Valley next month

Awesome at least 3 of those are on my wishlist!

 

[mp1990]

I mean... it's better than last month's at least. That Stardew Valley will sure draw a lot of people though.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Train Valley and Slime Rancher are welcome sights. Hotline Miami 2 is the only one I have, and I consider it underrated.

Good bundle, I gotta say.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

I only owned Action Henk and Grim Dawn so this is a pretty great bundle for me.

 

[TheLetdown]

I've never done the B/S/T thread, but Stardew and Hotline Miami 2 will be duplicates for me.

So, reading up on this, I need to sell revoked keys for each and then only refund 75% of the amount to walk with 25% ez $ ez life... Is that BSTing correctly?

Agreed. It's a whole lot better than what people give it credit for, mostly because it isn't just MORE HM1... the formula changed. It's more puzzle than twitch.

 

[Phinor]

Stardew Valley being the game to pull in new subscribers is an excellent move from Humble. I wonder why the dev agreed to this, probably not because of money.

I think you're skipping the step where you commit credit fraud, but you've got it orherwise, yes.

Also, do a bunch of transactions then intentionally get yourself permabanned.

This is looking like too much of a headache for me.

I'm just going to do some IOU giveaways and then get myself permabanned, instead.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Didn't own any of these but wanted a few, good bundle for me.

 

[jon bones]

literally just bought Stardew Valley

I just wish parents would talk to their kids about this, is all.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Bwahaha.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Anyone has a duplicate Stardew Valley?

 

[Nabs]

literally just bought Stardew Valley

Have you played less than 2 hours? You can just refund it.

Anyone has a duplicate Stardew Valley?

People are selling it for 7 in the BST thread.

 

[Monooboe]

BG2 is such a vast improvement over the first one.

Yeah, I have that feeling of being in for a treat.

literally just bought Stardew Valley

Still a great game, so either way its a win?

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Wow, Slimer Rancher in Humble Monthly. I did not expect that. I've been wanting to pick that up for a while, after playing the free alpha. It has a lot of promise, though it did need a lot more content when I played it. And I don't own any of the other games, though I am not sure if any are that interesting.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Have you played less than 2 hours? You can just refund it.

As I understand it, one does not simply play Stardew for less than two hours.

 

[ramoisdead]

Anyone has a duplicate Stardew Valley?

Pretty sure most duplicate Stardew Valley keys will be over at the B/S/T thread.

Thats why I am asking here, because usually people here are usually better than BST people who sells those for a profit.

 

[r3n4ud]

IdleMaster doesn't seem to work with God Eater Ressurrection.

I had to blacklist it.

Holy shit, Thoth! Was going to pick it up on Steam today.

it's been a busy week, so maybe!

i'll check when i get home - thanks!

 

[morningbus]

I'm sure there'll be a giveaway soon.

I don't know how you'd go about assigning a fair market value for the key at the moment, though. $7 seems pretty reasonable at half off.

I am in the Chinese steam store, so to me thats the "normal" price.

I tried group buys, but somehow the people first post in the thread, then edit their post...

 

[wheapon]

Wasn't really sure where to post these so I figure I may as well stick them here.

Here are some free keys from the GMG golden joystick promo (quote to see codes):

Sid Meier's Pirates
Lifeless

 

[FLD]

Holy shit, Slime Rancher! Humble Monthly redeemed!

And to think I was on the fence about Grim Dawn. The only reason I got the bundle at all is because I forgot to cancel in time. I'm so happy right now. I think this is the first time that one of the non-preview games is something this interesting that I didn't already own.

 

[Wok]

THOTH is released today, and already in Humble Monthly.

This is the way to go, Humble.

Remember The Uncertain Episode 1's demo, Humble.

 

[Nzyme32]

Mafia 3 is best horror game

 

[sheaaaa]

Honestly despite all the griping I think the Humble Monthly is one of the absolute best deals in gaming now. I've not regretted a month.

You can have mine when I get home .. or tomorrow, depending on how drunk I get.

Wow. Thats nice of you. Have a good (drunken) evening mate.
