Well, that's Dark Souls 2. I still plan to clean up whatever achievements I have left on NG+, but it was a great ride from start to finish.

You know these bundle sites are starting to jump the shark when their big new gimmick is not actually telling you what you are buying. I understand a few unlocks to keep interest up over the course of the whole promotion, but this is getting ridiculous.

I assume the reason Lego Star Wars and Indy never go on sale is due to Disney right? I really want them but screw paying £15.

Yep, but if it helps at all:

Lego Star Wars 3 aside, they're quite cheap in Russia, for what it's worth (US price versus RUB -> USD converted price):

Lego Indy: $19.99/$8.30
Lego Indy 2: As above
Lego Star Wars Saga: As above
Lego Star Wars 3: $19.99/$12.49

Snap them up during the Winter Sale if Disney ignores them again.

at least the way groupees is doing it is a pre-order, and you can always wait and see and it becomes as if there was never a preorder... this is just... wat?

it's indieroyale o you know the price will keep going up and up before anything is revealed

NG+? Pah, you haven't played DS2 until you do all the DLC on NG++ ;)

By the way, what time zone is the Steam thread on? It hasn't been September here for a good 18 hours.

Different publisher is my guess. The original Lego Star Wars was published by Eidos and the others and indy were published by LucasArts.

The original LSW was also published by LucasArts. Eidos just co-handled retail distribution:

Eidos, one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, announces it has secured the distribution rights to LEGO Star Wars with Giant Interactive Entertainment Ltd for all countries except Japan.

That concept of "worth" on that site is shaky. They say it's 10 games "worth $70." No, if I pay a dollar for them, then it's 10 games worth a dollar. Items have only as much worth as people are willing to pay for them. They should say the games are regularly priced at $70.

I guess I'm just being pedantic.

Edit: If I want to include some games as a giveaway, do I necessarily have to qualify it as a gift? Or how does that work?

Ended up picking it up, as I've always been curious about The Sun at Night since it was first announced. All other games after that are a nice surprise.

If there is actually a game you want to play, then it's obviously a decent deal. This fad is still terrible though.

Apotheon's app is now private. For a game that "should have" released over a month ago it sure seems like a long way away.

Seems like GMG will give out XCOM: Enemy Unknown for free if you vote in the Joystick Awards this year. Someone I know got that email from them:
Green Man Gaming have once again joined forces with the Golden Joysticks and are offering those that have voted before 20 October 2014 a free copy of XCOM: Enemy Unknown (whilst stocks last).*

This game will be available to you after 23 October 2014, and we’ll send you instructions of how to claim your free game at that time, which will include registering with Playfire and linking to Steam to gain your code.

If you haven’t already voted click here to vote.

*Limited stock available. One game per registered vote. Over 18 years only. The promoting site is open for participants to claim their free game from 23 October 2014 until 27 October 2014 at 11:59 GMT.

They also tweeted it now:

I'll probably just skip this bundle, haven't bought any bundles from Indie Royale in a while. I've already got the Sun at Night, and I'm not interested in Hero of the Kingdom. Actually, I remember giving Hero Kingdom away because it's been in a few bundles already.

I agree with you, it's something that makes a bundle more of a gamble than a must-buy, which defeats the whole purpose of the bundles.

That has clusterfuck written all over it, since the actual voting doesn't happen on a GMG site. GMG can't even properly handle accounts between GMG itself and Playfire, how are they going to juggle accounts from CVG too?

It worked fine last year (and there was even a game choice) but that was always before the whole playfire thing so it's hard to say really.
