THOTH is a nice surprise and I am curious about Slime Rancher.
Is Action Henk good? I was underwhelmed with Giant Bomb's quick look.

I almost regret cancelling for Slime Rancher, but I already own Hotline Miami 2

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
You're probably dealing with people from North America and Europe, though. Without knowing what else is coming in the bundle, whether they want it themselves or if anyone would pay any real money for it, there's not much they can do to price it fairer. Plus, it's somewhat of a hassle, so they're within their right to expect compensation.
I don't think it's fair to check across regional stores to find the lowest price and set that as its current market value. These people aren't being unfair here, you just happen to be in an exceptional circumstance.

Sure. I am not saying its unreasonable.
Just that usually in the B/S/T thread, compared to the Steam thread, are mostly people who profit from price deals, buy high profile bundles in bulks to sell games a few months later (the Warner Bros bundle especially).
From being in this thread for years now people are far more nicer and give away their duplicates if they already have game ABC from a bundle.

I'm pretty sure Mafia 2 had mirrors in some bathrooms and that they worked well.
Or maybe that was The Darkness 2 and I'm confusing gangster games.

Those are my "My wife will like this" category.
She plays anything that hooks you in like those games. She played Prison Architect for like 10 hours straight after I bought it from that bundle.

I think it is worth mentioning that Fidel, the bonus game in the Humble Monthly, is made by Daniel Benmergui.
He has been working on Ernesto.

Indeed it does
Refunded DS2. Thanks to all who tried to help.
Gonna use the money for Stardew Valley instead. Only downside is that I can't use my steam money for humble :/
How does it work with cancelling subscriptions if I only want this month? Do I just have to cancel right after subscribing and will still get the mystery games?

Just make sure you cancel your subscription a few days before the next Monthly Bundle reveal on that Friday if you don't want to get charge for another month. You'll still receive your mystery games.
You need to do it earlier than that. I was actually planning to cancel this month and ended up forgetting and getting charged last friday. Pretty sure there's also an option to pay early if it's an ongoing sub. As long as you got the early unlock game you're good to cancel, you'll still get everything else.

You can cancel once you buy in and receive Stardew. You'll still get the rest of the bundle.

If you plan on buying anything from the Humble Store this month you may want to wait to cancel until closer to the deadline so you get the monthly subscriber discount.

Stardew Valley --MB-0D1E93AE229F74C1- Taken by Large Professor. 40 entrants total.
It's both, really. Twitch is still extremely important.
It's also a better designed, more varied and overall more polished game than Hotline Miami 1.

Is it necessary to play the games in the order of releases?

CoD is more expensiveAre you serious?
The most expensive game series.
It's been bundled, at least some of them.
I think Deponia is great especially for its humour and plot, including some drastic plot twists. IMO you can't play it out of order because you will miss out on most of its appeal. If I remember correctly, you could probably do all the puzzles playing it out of order, so theoretically it'd be possible, but this is just not the way the series is meant to be played.

Nice Weather check in:
A little heavy on the rain compared to real life.
Slime Rancher makes a good first impression.

..you 100%'d Spelunky....?
Yup. Low Scorer was absolutely soul crushingly hard, but the game had its hooks in me. I couldn't let go. Someone mentioned that there's an online co-op modification available, if the Spelunky craving ever creeps back into you, I would love to try the modification.

So what is 'Deponia: The Complete Journey'? A remaster? Any reason to play that if you already have Deponia, Chaos on Deponia and Goodbye Deponia?

I found some guys selling bundle keys for cheap.
G2A has them for $1 each or something, if you're interested.

I will be patient. I will wait for some Humble bundles. I have episodes #1 and #4, so I can try it first.
Plus I have just bought Oxenfree now that I know it is not part of the monthly bundle.
IIRC, it's just the first 3 games merged into a single one. So yeah, no reason to bother if you already have the individual releases.

I think I've made a huge mistake. I sent someone from here some money from the BTS thread and an hour and a half later no reply. Sent a PM about it to them already and nothing. They were active on GAF until 5 mins ago. First time I've ever used the thread too
Went ahead and got the Transformer games.
Hoping there's a Halloween sale. I really want to get some horror games, but it feels like a bad time to purchase right now.
Oh dear!

Let's keep the trash that is G2A out of this thread, come on now.

I'm sure they'll get back to you. One thing I've learned from the BST is you need patience. Some folks take time to get back to you.
No, that's the original trilogy, as in the games you named.
Deponia Doomsday is not really a part of it as it was only made because fans were not satisfied with the trilogy's closure and pressured Daedalic into making another game for years. It's more of a supplement, actually.

Agreed.
It has minimal new content: a Developer's Commentary, 'How to draw Rufus & Goal' and 'The Art of Deponia' videos, Developer's Commentary Soundtrack (6 new songs created and sung by Poki) and papercraft models. I don't think they added shit to the story or anything like that.
meh should have subbed for humble even if I had grim dawn, would have been worth it for slime rancher, deponia and hotline 2.
Oh well, at least Stardew Valley makes this month's sub a no brainer since I dont have it

Are you sure you guys aren't confusing the two games? HM2 had way, way more "random" elements to it (random patrol pathing mainly) and a much longer aggro range, to the point where you can try the same strategy 5 times on a level and it'll work if you get lucky. HM1 was way more puzzley because the aggro range was smaller and you could actually plan your moves based on your previous failures. Figuring out why you died in HM2 is deciphering whether it was a strategy that failed or a die roll that failed, which I found way less fun, even though I liked the presentation of 2 more.
I bought/played it at release though so could have been some improvements since, but it was frustrating enough that I had no desire to replay any of it after I beat it, unlike HM1.

Super Bunny Hop has put up a series of videos covering his recent trip to Japan. It might be of interest to some of you.

It should be fine. If they don't respond by end of the day, you can call em out.
