One has the soundtrack, one doesn't. That's it.
If you don't have many Double Fine games, the Build Your Own Bundle at Humble is a great deal, much like the Devolver one was. As for me, I'm pretty set:
Thanks for the heads-up. Broken Age, Grim Fandango, Massive Challice, and Spacebase for $11.89 isn't bad (no interest in Spacebase but it drops the price by a dime, so I figure why not since it also has cards).
Freedom = $1.05

i know, but the hope is that they fucked up because the one with the soundtrack is priced significantly lower than the vanilla version. So maybe they meant to post another game but messed up in putting up two HnS. Or maybe they need to swap the prices.
Just holding out hope right now.
since i dont think many ppl here played massive chalice, my opinions on it were basically a really good x-com combat side (not perfectly balanced or anything but very satisfying and lots of variety in enemy types and character classes) but really underwhelming base management, like there's barely anything to do outside of roulette decisionmaking and very limited building options. like, u can only research one tech at a time, and teh eugenics part sounds cool at first but since ppl are constantly dying and you're constantly replacing them it just becomes tiresome after a point and in my experience i just looked at the resulting class that couple would breed and hit go. or u can research like a new armor but u have to individually equip it on everyone and they'll be dead by like two battles down the road so why bother
but yeah the combat's great, the artstyle and specially the music are great too, it's just that base management plain sucks that keeps it from being like a really good xcom game
i didnt play it cos i was told of abundant spiders but was hoping it had done alright nonetheless
i always felt marketing for that game was kind of poor, too, i didn't know it existed for the longest of times
like, i don't like the idea of undisclosed investors having a say on the game i was led to believe was an indie thanks-to-crowdfunding thing, so if they're at least transparent about it i dont have many complaints
tho like, if projects can still have secret investors on top of this crap then it just feels like obs and co. just didnt want to give kickstarter their cut, which i guess is kind of fair since devs like inxile and double fine basically created the whole videogames kickstarter universe and everything

haven't heard many opinions here about fig, but to me it sounds pretty alright

Dunno what else they'd put in, really, but the pricing is weird there. They did have doubles in the last bundle, though, iirc, but they were priced properly in accordance to worth.
I'm not sure I want anything from the Double Fine bundle. Maybe just Grim Fandango, but man, no thanks. Not a priority.

I own them all except for the Grim Fandango Remastered (which I have on android)
Nothing important was loss. They did ok and it was neat that a big publisher tried this, but it wasn't better than indie efforts.
I will see your $15 and lower it to $9.99.
Its kinda ok. Its a really neat concept that fails in execution. I backed the kickstarter and enjoyed the developer interaction but for a game from a seasoned developer, I expected better.
It's a low-voxel Lovecraftian procedural dungeoncrawler, yes.

Only Grim Fandago has my eye, I already have the ones I wanted. Not worth it for one game.

Oh Evolve. Has a free weekend, is 50% but nowhere to be found on the front page or news feed.
Quoting because new page and awesome.

That happened to me on the unlucky dog mission and thought to put my tapes in speaker mode and played the "Enemy Terminated!" tape in Afghani. Smooth as silk.

All GTA games before GTA V got another beta update in SteamDB. What could it be?
Transitioning to Steamworks maybe? One can hope?

It's all Double Fine PUBLISHED games. So no The Cave (sega) and no CQ2 (Majesco).
You know, two of the games i dont own but would've loved to have seen in this bundle

What is this special bundle at indiegala? I thought only groupees sell stuff like that?
What is next? Humble Bundle? Lol !

oh bummer
realized I dont own Grim Fandango remaster and that's the only one I want really. might buy it for $6
thought I owned it. I replayed the original a couple years ago but still
I wouldn't be surprised if this is a price mistake. Great deal.

There's no season pass or metric fuckton of dlc? Colour me surprised.
Massive Chalice ain't that good. I regret that I kickstarterted that game. It's really nothing more than a nice idea.

Played contrast on ps4, boring game imo.Contrast and Final Exam look cool for the price they're at
pretty sure $24 for mad max on nuuvem is cheaper than the gmg deal was, right?
still tho, it'd be beyond silly of me to get it with MGSV and even Witcher 3 unfinished
only reason it draws me really is wanting to support what is apparently a superb port
sometimes you can give me an average game but if it runs like a dream it'll bother me like 10x less and i'll just enjoy the smoothness of it. it's weird.

Yup, it's less than $25 for a limited time on Nuuvem and the lowest compared to the 50% coupon from GMG for the game.
HB Weekly's doesn't appeal to me at all. Good thing too. Spending too much on games.
I'd jump on the PC Monster Race Edition if it included all DLC instead of just ~a third of it.
That's correct. There was a crappy skin or whatever for the car for the preorders, and there's a free DLC that's a cross-promotion with some kind of drink. That's it. No season pass or any further dlc announced as far as I know.

Personally, I took this as a sign that WB isn't confident in it =/
I doubt it. game already has microtransactions and konami aint gonna develop SP content themselves
I should've mentioned I'm talking about a game update for Dota 2, have not tried downloading a game so that might be the problem I'm having too.

I'm the same way, I'm more interested in the game now that I know it's a good port than I ever was before it came out.

Not nearly as accessible as C&C.
That's a bummer, I would love a new old-school RTS.
I don't think it's as inaccessible as that review suggests, but AoA could certainly do with some better guidance and tutorials. It's got some complexity to it, so your milage may vary.
Still, if you're mood for a really great RTS, then Eugen's excellent Wargame series is currently on sale. Not really an 'old school' RTS though.

What a shame. The ease of C&C is what I love about it.
