humble bundle V

MikeF

some great games this time around, get in on this one guys!
http://www.humblebundle.com/

sword and sorcery, bastion, psychonauts, amnesia, limbo, c'mon doesnt get better than that

AlexLeighton

Definitely buying this!

WarrenM

Boughtenated. I really wanted S&S and Bastion on PC, so that was worth it alone for me...

BeatKitano

A very nice bundle this time. Last few (humble and others alike) were going on "the old and reccurent game" side. This one is refreshing, only hits.

Tekoppar

This one is really worth the money. Bought it as soon as I heard of it.

ambershee

One day they'll make these payable with Visa

passerby

thinking about item but i already own both bastion and limbo on steam.

would be nice you people could get humble bundles and gifts games off them.

SaferDan

This bundle is amazing! I have wanted to get Limbo, Bastion and S+S for ages! Best bundle ever!

Lazerus Reborn

Bought, gifted limbo off.

Love these guys, pretty dam clever to get slumped sales up and donate to charity.

Also great for poor students ;D

crazyfingers

First must buy bundle in a long time, worth it for bastion or amnesia alone...

uncle

Worth every penny.

Docm30

Nice! I was just about to buy most of these games on steam for way more than I paid for this (I paid more than the average, by the by).

Can't we? I want S&S and Limbo, but own most of the rest and would gift them. Isn't it possible if we pay the extra buck for the steam versions?

monster

Excellent wallpaper too!

Wow. Awesome pack. Broke the $1mil mark in 5 hours!

I've got 3 of the 5 but will still buy it for the other 2.

Worst thing about steam is that you can't redeem or sell duplicate copies of something from packs. I think its disgusting actually. If you bought the physical copy you'd have a disc or code that you could sell or gift to someone. I still can't understand how they get away with it. Other than that I love steam.

Josh_Singh

yeah, this is awesome. totslly snatched this up.

bounchfx

bought. what an incredible deal.

Snader

Got this too, but didn't pay a whole lot since I already owned everything except Sworcery. And I'm not fond of how those guys priced the PC version more expensive than the iPad version.

tupwick

This is amazing. To be able to get all of these for less than the price I paid for each of them individually just boggles the mind.
I had more fun with amnesia and limbo than I ever expected and they both had such a massive impact on me. Passing this out to every single person i know.

Hmm. So, I have Bastion and Psychonauts from Steam already. Am I not going to be able to gift these to somebody? What if I choose the giftable code option before buying from the site?

Also are these purchases multi-platform? They state that they are, but for some reason they are specifying what versions have been sold. Is that just a record of what machines the pack is being bought from?

Stinger88

I'm not sure you can. Bastion might have a separate code that you can gift seperately (as its the "pay more than average" game) but the other 4 will have one code for all of them. Thats how the humble pack has worked in the past. Although i've never used the giftable code option so I might be wrong.

passerby

i can confirm, it gives you 2 steam codes, bastion is separate from the rest of the games, being the game you get for paying above x amount.

i was able to give me bastion key away just fine since i already owned the game.

i just gave the code it;s self away.

Andreas

Well that's not too bad, Bastion is one of the games I'd be giving away anyway. Pity I can't give Amnesia away, too much of a pansy to play that :P

So what happens when the bundle gets added to the steam list? Is it featured as a single title, then you choose from a menu which to launch? I hope Steam can get in on this and fix the system so we can gift.

passerby

i think the reason behind this is because humble provides it's games in multiple forms, both steam download, and direct drmless download.

so dont really think they want people giving away 1 and not the other.

even know i already own bastion still got kinda a plus there for me, since the steam version olny has the sound track as mp3, and the humble bundle has a flac version of the soundtrack, so i kinda used this as a way to get that soundtrack, without the shity sound mp3 compression gives things.

Andreas

I was reading up on the wiki (I've not really payed attention to the humble bundle up until this one) and sometimes they add titles? Would it be wiser to hold off purchasing now in case they add a title before the sale is over?

You were generous with your donation . I thought i was being nice giving em 50 quid

Lazerus Reborn

It's for charity, re buy the bloody thing for $2 more take the one game and gift the rest off ;')

Andreas

Good idea

The individual games are added. It's not one game entry.

Sadly it doesn't stack (at least for bundle III)

Andreas

Anyone not got their links yet? Guess their servers are getting hammered...

joeriv

It takes a while, I waited like 1,5 hours or so untill I got mine.

Irreal

I already own most of these games but fuck it's for charity. Plus, I still haven't watched Kooky. Nuts!

They give you anything that gets added to the bundle after you buy it, for free. Plus you get the option to give a bit more cash if you feel you under paid or just want to be nice.

you dont have 1 cent?
thats shabby man, if you really wanted those games i'm sure you'd "splurge"

terry1337

ow lol didnt know could buy it for 1 cent xD so bought it^^

ambershee

You don't get Bastion unless you pay the minimum.

ambershee

I like how Notch paid $3000.01 to be the top of the list, so the HumbleBonry guys added another two cents to put him back down again.

Bastion, one of the few games that really, really blew me away.
I recommend it to anyone, i'm now syncing the music to my itunes.

i had bastion and amnesia, but what the... bought! Limbo deserves it

MattQ86

The "beat the average" mechanic is a brilliant idea to keep people from being cheap and paying a dollar or whatever.

Seirei

I realy don't get why people have to be total doucebags and pay 0,01$ for these bundles. Why not just use the direct download links and you generate more costs than you've just paid for.

Too bad I already had Limbo and I've seen like 4 playthroughs of amnesia so that's not as interesting anymore. Atleast I can finally get my hands on Bastion and Psychonauts!
Also Swords & Sworcery and the soundtracks are a good bonus to top that of.

Japhir

I already owned Psychonauts and Limbo, but my brother highly recommended Bastion which I hadn't played yet. Awesome bundle this time around! Might buy a second one and gift it away .

Blaizer

I hope they put another game in the bundle! :P

I gifted 4 copies (to my brother and friends).

Andreas

Minecraft plz :P

MikeF

just finished bastion, that was friggin awesome, even if pretty short. on to sword and sworcery!
