Banner Saga is in the monthly bundle? Too bad I didn't subscribe for one month, I've been eyeing Banner Saga for a while.

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.
I was subscribed to the Humble Monthly for 30 minutes before canceling

I'm leaning towards getting the early unlock for the October Humble Bundle. With Ladykiller in a Bind getting delayed a couple weeks, I think I have enough time in my schedule to play Grim Dawn.

Or maybe I should just play the games from August I haven't heard of.

I just bought Epistory 2 days ago, damnit. Think I have less than 2 hours on it though. I really enjoy it so would be worth the bundle right there as it was $9.50 or so.

Wrestling is literally nothing to me, so dunno... SOMA I was interested in. Banner Saga I always avoided buying because of the few negative comments about it but for part of a bundle why not. All in all, it's a decent one for me if I get my Epistory refund for sure.

I already have Grim Dawn at like 30-40 hours played soooo not real keen on next month.

How's Grim Dawn compared to Diablo or Path of Exile?

It's exactly like Titan Quest, if you ever played that. A lot slower than Diablo, a lot differently built than PoE. Story is very linear, there's lots of side dungeons to dig into but honestly the game over all doesn't hit the right mix for me for that kind of game - it requires way way too much time investment to try out a build, and way too much investment in passive stats if you want to go to harder settings.

Mmm, looks like it's not my cup of tea.

But perhaps I'll look into it if I can get a friend convinced to play co-op.

If I would ask for a refund on steam, there is no chance of me getting the cash into steam wallet this weekend right?
 

jshackles

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.
Eight games but only six Steam keys, and the others are just demos. Two games I already owned on Steam, which is the first time that's happened in the history of the monthly bundle (so I thought it'd be a pretty safe bet), and then on top of that I get a wrestling game that is already free on Xbox.

Well like I said I bought it for Soma at $10 and I knew it would be sight unseen but... damn.

It is an "exclusive peek demo" at the first episode. This is... I have no word.

This can't be. It has to be at least Episode 1 when it gets released, right?

Yea, i already cancelled my subscription again. I were just in for SOMA, i'm absolutely not willing to buy games blind, and the reactions here on GAF prove my decision right every time.

I think you would. The one and only time I asked for a refund on Steam, I got the money in my wallet within 48 hours easily. If I remember correctly even around 24 hours.

This is two months in a row of kind of bad bundles. I still don't think this is as bad as last months, but still: Time to cancel

Reads to me like you get the 1st episode. Which is a peak at the full game. Nothing wrong with that imo. Good bundle overall.

Except that there might be no second episode. I asked the devs about that like 2 months ago. Unless the guy who answered is a joker.

I actually wanted to buy AoT just now, but then i saw that The Warlock of Firetop Mountain just released.

Poor Kekmo can't catch a break

If i try to refund a game i've played for 2.5 hours, so half an hour more than allowed by steam, am i entering filthy thiefing territory?

Cos i'm honestly not feeling Warlock of Firetop Mountain.

And now i'd be missing out on preorder discount and the free DLC for AoT. Ugh.

I wish the size of games were written somewhere. That catch game weights 40.6 GB, I am never downloading that. I was already abashed when I saw the game size of Mad Max... I want my games to be 5 GB max.

Anybody knows the game size of Grim Dawn?

games are usually 10-50gb now

Most games except the occasional AAA release fit in less than 10 GB. Across all of my Steam library, these are the games that are installed and weight more than 10 GB.

Not all of them are worth the download, so if I want to try a catch game, I don't want to download 40 GB.


I remember Max Payne 3 was big too.

Steam tells me Grim Dawn is 3.9GB installed

Thank you. Now that is a reasonable size for a game in a Humble Monthly Bundle.

When PS+/GwG titles are added, I mentally remember that I have them, so when there are Steam keys of them, I always think I have them on Steam for some reason.

I was certain I owned Banner Saga on Steam, but nope. Now I'm not even sure *where* I own Banner Saga. Pretty sure I have part 2 on X1

Edit: Think I'll go for Oct to get Grim Dawn.

Yeah that's what you have. This is why I don't mind this bundle being the 1st game, since i have the 2nd now on Xb1. So having both now even on seperate platforms works out.

That makes it sting a bit more. I forgot it was GwG in July.
 
The Steam version of Quantum Break has been delayed


http://www.pcgamer.com/the-steam-version-of-quantum-break-has-been-delayed/

29th now

Kinda close to Shadow Warrior 2. Oh well, guess it'll be just an expensive few weeks.

I'd be happy with the Monthly if I didn't own WWE 2K16, but alas, I do. I actually reinstalled it a few weeks back as I wanted to update the roster, add the new belts and maybe continue MyCareer a bit. Being able to download CAWs and other created stuff amazes me after the PS2 days of printing off formulas and doing it by hand.

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
hell of a monthly for me. Soma of course, and then Epistory and Sheltered which I wanted bad, and WWE as a bonus. Now thats worth 12€

Bad start to the next one since I own grim dawn tho
