Humble Bundle has Mr. President for 4 cents.

https://www.humblebundle.com/g/mrpresident

*buys and installs game*

well, it's worth four cents, I guess

I've played some frustrating physics-based games before, but even by those standards, this seems to demand ridiculous amounts of luck to even get through the tutorial stages. At least the failure replays are amusing.

 

[Hubble]

I dont know about best game ever, but best game in 2017.

I just find it hard to believe it is the best game of 2017 or that good lol.

 

[Grief.exe]

So all cards and stickers will be gone in ~1hr?

Or will they be active during the encore as well?

It says the sale ends July 5th at 10am Pacific, not July 4th.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Welp. I kicked the hornets nest on Twitter by saying that FF9 being the best is only one man's opinion.

Tons of people telling me that my opinion is invalid.

 

[Jadax]

I'm about to give in to temptation and buy.

Nothing spectacular, all budget(ish) games (on a tight budget).

Any recommendations for replacements or adding 1-2 games. Any genre is fine. Prefer smaller games (<3GB) as I'm travelling and my data is limited.

Nier approaching half a milly.

Hollow Knight jumped up 200k this sale and still going strong. &#128170;&#127997;

I didn't think it was going to be that good before I played it either. But now it's definitely one of my favorite games released this year. And that's coming from someone who doesn't even really like metroidvanias that much.

It's really the biggest surprise I've had in a while.

At 50 cents, Handsome Mr. Frog is the best value purchase I made this sale. Though I'm a fan of 1980s style arcade games like the original Mario Bros and Bubble Bobble.

Handsome Mr Frog, such a fun little arcade romp. Kinda like Super Crate Box meets Bubble Bobble. It's like someone unearthed a lost Taito arcade rom.

Nier approaching half a milly.

Not deserved.

Hollow Knight jumped up 200k this sale and still going strong. &#128170;&#127997;

Deserved.

 

[black070]

I'm just going to jump on Fable Anniversary - never played the first.

 

[titch]

Make sure to hit the "Feature on my profile" button on the sticker page.

Did that not sure if thats what fixed it but ive got it now!!!

Cheers

 

[Drazgul]

By far the best one.

I've seen it in quite a few GAF lists as well.

Only thrice as much and Squeenix might consider paying Platinum for a patch.

I think 2 was the best but it has been a while. I also bought Anniversary .

I was looking for something to spend my dollar of card money on. Thanks.

 

[Type2]

Okay, I have about 20$ in my steam wallet from selling off cards. Is there anything that I must have off this sale for 20 or less?

I already picked up Baldur's Gate 2 enhanced, Witcher 3 goty, Planescape Torment and Ori and the blind forest. I should probably avoid long RPGS to ensure I actually play whatever you folks suggest.


My eyes are on:
Crypt of the necrodancer, INSIDE, VA-11 HALL-A, Soma but im open to other suggestions.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

I won't be buying hollow knight until the Christmas sale, but it's definetly on my list of things to buy. Thing is, I have nier, prey and total war for this sale and at my current pace that will easily take me into Christmas. Not to mention Mario comes out in the meantime.

 

[Grief.exe]

EDIT: Jawmuncher just took care of all I needed in one shot.

I need to trade for Steam cards

I need
Scouts 2x
Road Trip 1x

I have

Do it. Get the DLC too.

Worked fine for me few days ago, but obviously it's on heavy load during sales. There is still month before cards will expire, so no need to hurry.

 

[Wok]

Given that a game is tagged as featuring "Sexual Content", the probability that it is tagged as either "Anime" or "Visual Novel" is ~75%.

I want to map the Steam tags.

After further refinement, to capture more of the correlations between tags, I have finally the result (it does not look good as a static image, but hey, I don't know how to make it available in an interactive fashion):

Big font

Small font

Nothing too surprising:

• Early Access is close to Open World, Building and Crafting
  
  
• Card Game is super close to Board Game, and near Free To Play, which is not the case of Trading Card Game for some reasons...
• Free To Play is close to Massively Multiplayer, MOBA, and Resource Management
• Gore and Violent appear very often together, I don't know why we have two tags for this,
• Ditto for Football and Soccer, Music and Rhythm, Fighting and Beat'em up, Games Workshop and Warhammer 40K, Sexual Content and Mature, Dating Sim and Romance, etc.

And most importantly, we have this.. a mapping of anime.... which does not have too many close tags actually.

Looks cool, bought.

 

[Ascheroth]

Welp, my phone started dying. Not particularly bothered all that much, since I had it for 4 or 5 years, but now I need a new one. Any recommendations? Preferably Android.

Is the DLC worth it for Just Cause 3?

 

[C4rter]

I want to look for some cheap games just for "+1" and trading cards.
But when I sort by lowest price I get so many Free games that I just can't reach the games that cost something. I tried excluding free games but it doesn't exclude everything. Can anyone help?

[electroflame]

Not particularly. They're all pretty short. If you haven't played all of the base game yet, I'd say they'd be worth it simply for the upgraded jetpack (that'll basically break the game) but if you're done and looking for some additional content, they aren't particularly compelling. I still had fun with them, so if you really liked the base game, they could be worth the ~$6 to you.

Each of them took me about 3 hours, give or take, so for ~$6 you're getting around 10 hours of content (according to my playtime, going for most or all of the optional stuff).

 

[Wag]

How does Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition play @ 4k?

 

[scitek]

What VR games do I need to pick up before the sale ends?

Dammit, one day left and all I need is the Minigolf card.

I've got an infuriating amount of multiples of Lemonade, Parking Lot, Beach, Picnic, Camping, Tourist, Boardwalk, and Road Trip.

Haven't even bought the base game yet.

I'm not looking for additional missions, but don't want to miss out on good vehicles, weapons and stuff like that, that makes the base game more fun.

In that case, they're worth it. Just make sure that if you like wingsuiting around to save the jetpack mission until later. Once you get the jetpack the wingsuiting is basically worthless as the jetpack is so much better/easier.

 

[illusionary]

I'm surprised not to see an SGDQ Bundle, especially as they're still a sponsor. Maybe later on the week?

 

[xist]

Humble third time's a charm unbundle.


err....why is the Software Bundle still active? Where did the extra day come from?

Edit...forgot that they added it later as a surprise.

I don't expect to see any steam bundle from HB (except monthly) in next 2 weeks because of refunds after sale.

 

[gaiadyne]

Is this the saddest looking Humble home page ever? Just a old software bundle and book bundles

 

[NeoRaider]

Doesn't look legit

For Germans
Doom for 6 euro

Is this still available? Is it digital?

Is there a 2 week return window for Steam refunds if you havent played a game?
